Our Cajun Boy is Gone....

[Laura's Babies]

It is with great sadness that I have to report to our Pet Talk friends that one of our Cajun Boys has gone to Rainbow Bridge. I recieved this in a PM yesterday from Carla (Catfamily)

We had to put our dearest cat we ever owned down.He was the sweetest cat in the world and I am having a very hard time with this.Mike too.His heart just could not function properly anymore.The Vet said we got an extra year out of him because of the heart meds which made us feel better,plus he had so much love here.Between me,Mike and some of the other cats here.Everyone wanted to snuggle with Winston.He loved it too.He had litterbox issues but we never ever got upset with him.Just loved him more because he was sick and had a hard life (With the first owners tossing him out when he needed human care at the most crucial time in his life).We cared and cared and loved and loved.Just thankful he had you and your family to sweep him to safety.Thank you Laura.Thank You from Winston most of all.He really thanks you for all you and your family have done for him.

Carla and Mike are just to upset right now to post this so she gave me permission to do it for her. I feel like Winston belonged to all of us here at PT with the complete outpouring of love and support he recieved when he was found so sick in Kevlins front yard and how everyone has cheered him on since then.


Rest in peace sweet boy, we will always remember and love you and how you touched so many lives. You had such a rough beginning in life and life cheated you, but at least you left this world, knowing you were loved and adored, it had to make your passing easier.

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For those few years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

This has not been a good week for kitties.

RIP sweet Winston. Your family (RL and PT) loved you more than you know and we know you loved us just as much.

Play hard at the RB.

Laura,

I am SO sorry for your loss. You gave him a wonderful life and I know he knew he was truly loved!

RIP sweet Winston. We will truly miss you. Godspeed to the Rainbow Bridge. Give kisses to Casey ("Bubba Dude") and Marina Mar.

Winston was such a Good Dear Cat,and its sad to hear of his passing.
I was just watching Thomasina where she goes to Cat Heaven.
She walks past all the Egyptian Cat Gods and goes to a nice place where theres lots of Cats there.
Winston will not be at the Rainbow Bridge with all the Other Pets Angels
and will be a Happy Cat.
He misses Mike and Carla and will be with thier Companion Angels.
And will see them again,in a Happy Place.
One Fine Day.

So very sorry to hear this, Laura. Thanks for letting us know.

RIP, sweet fella, your meowmie and daddy are missing you so much. Post when you can, Carla and Mike. We will be here for you. The love you showed to Winston was unsurpassed.

It truly is a sad day, hearing about the passing of dear Winston. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, but he passed knowing that he was so loved (and always will be!) and that he will truly be missed by all. Play hard at the RB little one.

Oh gosh,Laura, Carla & Mike I'm so sorry. I knew little Winston had heart problems, but I had no idea they were this severe and immediate. Laura, the best day of his life was when Kevlin took him in and brought him to you. From then on, all he knew was love, from Kevlin & his family, from you and then from Carla, Mike and the rest of their cat family.

RIP little one. I know your heart is big and strong now.

I just wanted to repost this picture (and thread) that Carla posted on 3/15/06 of Winston and Booboo. When I saw this pic, I knew how sick Booboo was so I had no idea that Winston would be leading the way to the RB.

And here's a link to the thread My two sickest cats together


Drat, it's not letting me repost the pic, so you'll have to go to the thread to see it.

Boo Boo will be making his trip to Rainbow Bridge today. They are having to much to deal with right now but she knows you all are here for her.

[Donnaj4962]

Oh my.... how very very sad for the family. But Booboo and Wonston will be together once again and they can comfort one another, just as they were in the last picture we saw of them. I have serious LES here. I am so sad for the family. I cannot imagine what they must be going through. Our hearts go out to them and prayers for a speedy trip to the RB Booboo, so that once again you can be with Winston and so many other of our PT kitties that will be there to greet you.

[Prairie Purrs]

Such a sad day! RIP, sweet Winston, and BooBoo too. May you snuggle together at the Bridge, content and pain-free.

[jenluckenbach]

OH NO. I knew his heart was weak, but it's too soon. All my prayers to Carla and Mike. LES.
