My beloved Rascal is gone

[gini]

Rascal passed away this afternoon at 5:45 p.m. on 8/24/2011 after a long illness.

He was the Founder of The House of Orange - and he ruled over Annie and Emma regally, fairly and lovingly.

For any of you that attended my BBQ's you will remember what a wonderful cat he was - everyone loved him - and he loved everyone just as much.

You have no idea how much I am going to miss him - I love him so much. He was my champion - my best friend and I was very fortunate the day that he picked out my house to be his home.

Sweet boy - rest in peace and then play - play with Sugar, Magic and Patches - I know they were waiting for you.

Merlin is sitting beside my computer as I write this and we both send healing vibes out to you as I wipe away my tears.

RIP sweet boy and enjoy your eternity in the sweet grasses of the RB. I'm sure by now you are sitting on Phred's knee, telling him all about the goings-on down here. So many hearts have been touched by you. Rest easy and I know you will make friends with Max and Speckles.

{{{hugs}}} my dear friend and I'm here whenever you need me.

My deepest sympathies for my dear friend and the loss of your orange gentleman. My heart goes out to you, Gini, this is the worst part of pet ownership.

There is nothing I can say to take your pain away but know that we're holding you up in prayer and love. I'm so very, very sorry. {{hugs}}

I am so sorry my dear friend.
Godspeed to sweet Rascal.
Much love to you, Mom.

I'm sure by now you are sitting on Phred's knee, telling him all about the goings-on down here.

I'm teary-eyed, too. However I snickered at this because I can JUST SEE Rascal slightly glaring at Phred and saying, "Really? Did you have to send all those LOUD fire trucks to the party?" Likewise, I can hear Phred say -as he did many times to Bowser- "Sorry about that, Bub." Man, now I really have tears coming down my face.

My heart hurts for you, Gini. I pray that the ache of his passing soon subsides and your heart can once again smile. {Love you, Gini.}

Aw, gini, I'm awash in tears now too. Nothing I can saw will take away the empty hole in your heart. Try and take comfort in that he is not suffering. He was one very loved boy and he knew it, I'm sure.

Phred and all our PT babies are probably having a wonderful party for him at Mario's bar at the bridge. You can bet Rascal will be watching over you from there. Every day that passes now, brings you closer to the time you will see him again.

Rascal, my dear boy, please tell Leonardo, Luke, and Leroy and all my babies I expect them to show you around and I love them and miss them all. Oh, and Rascal, please don't believe everything Mario tells you, ok? You will be so terribly missed, sweetheart.

Gini...I hope you can somehow feel all the prayers and love flowing to you.

Rest peacefully, dear Rascal.

[Karen]

Oh, Gini, the House of Orange will continue his legacy of love for you, that I know. You will be in our prayers.

Gini, I'm so sorry for your loss. Rascal was such a wonderful and handsome orange boy. I'm so glad that I was able to meet him when I attended your LA BBQ's. Now he's pain free and at peace up at Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure that my Sunny, Pepper, and Starr have already introduced themselves and I know that Phred has for sure. RIP sweet Rascal. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry about Rascal.

For some reason I also feel like he's having a chat with Phred.

I am so sorry for your lose. My heart is broken as well. RIP angel boy.

Gini, Slick's mail yesterday told me about Rascal- but I still couldn't believe it that it would be his time. I am so very sorry. I know that Tigris and Filou will welcome him with open paws at the bridge.
My sister lost one of her cats 3 weeks ago (to cancer) and she worried that there would be no human there in the other world to welcome Lisa and I said- she only has to join the Pet Talk kitties. We found the thought comforting and I am in tears right now thinking how happy they will be at the bridge.

I am so very sorry. Rest in peace, beautiful Rascal. You are so greatly loved and greatly grieved. Watch over your Gini from the Rainbow Bridge, she misses you so very much.

Peace and comfort to you, Gini. The love that you and Rascal share is eternal, and you and he will be together again.. One Fine Day.

Gini - I didn't know any members of The House of Orange, but Rascal sounds like he was a wonderful boy. I'm so sorry that he had to leave you temporarily, but you'll be with him again one day.

RIP Rascal , and peace to you Gini.

[Medusa]

I'm sorry, Gini. I wish I could've had the pleasure of meeting Rascal. I can only imagine how much you will miss him. RIP, sweet Rascal and peace to you, Gini.
