Godspeed, Kasha...

I let Kasha go this afternoon. She was not improving despite intensive treatment. Her condition was only getting worse. She was barely responsive to me this morning. She purred when I held her, but she had no strength left. She could barely stand on her own. She would not eat or drink. An attempt at force feeding her failed. The jaundice was getting worse. After 17 years, her little body just had no more fight left.

I held her for a long time and told her how much I love her. Her crossing was peaceful and quick. She was ready to go. I would never have been ready to let her go.

I knew when she arrived that our time together might be short, but 15 months seems way too short. I could not have loved her more if I had known her all her life. I am glad she found her way here. Despite this broken heart, I would do it again. Loving her was worth this pain.

Godspeed my marshmellow girl. I will miss you.

Oh I'm so very sorry for your loss. 15 months isn't nearly long enough. Thank goodness you were able to give her all of your love for that time. Will miss you Kasha you white beauty you! Tears for you both.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. I was hoping she would respond - at least for a little while.

Safe trip to the Bridge, Kasha. {{{{hugs}}}} for you, Glacier.

I think that Kasha was so lucky to find a Great Furr Ever Home so late in life, where she could finally recieve the Love and Affection she missed for most of her Life.
Your time may not have been long, but it was truly the Best Time Of Kashas life.
There are few people who would adopt a Senior Cat like Kasha, and Kasha having her Turkey Dinner at the Pet Angel Thanksgiving Day Party says she has something to be Thankful for, and the time she spent with YOU.
Shes going to miss you but will drop in and pester the Dogs, and come visit you once in a while, until you are reunited.
One Fine Day.

Kasha was one lucky girl, as you were to be graced by her presence. She was a cherished member of your family and that will be with her (and you) forever.

I am so sorry that you time together was short, but we all know that QUALITY is what counts in life, not quantity.

That picture of her is superb!! Cherish it and all your memories. {{{{{HUGS}}}}

I am so sorry on the loss of your beloved Kasha. What a very lovely girl.
Bless you Tamara for adopting this old girl in the first place. Without you, only God knows what would have happened to this beauty. You might have had her for only 15 short months, but I bet they were the best 15 months of her life.

Rest in Peace beautiful Kasha and have fun on the RB.

((((((HUGS)))))) Tamara

She purred when I held her

She loved you, and knew who loved her.

Hugs to you, peace to dear beautiful marshmallow Kasha.

I'm so sorry to hear about Kasha. RIP little Kasha. Play hard at the rainbow bridge.

**kuhio98** · 11-23-2006, 09:33 PM

Rest in peace, beautiful girl. You were loved.

**Lizzie** · 11-23-2006, 09:42 PM

I am so shocked, and so saddened by this news. As you said, her seventeen years, most of which was not spent in being lovingly cared for by you, had made her body too frail to fight. I'm glad it was all so quick. It does make it easier when they are ready to let go, the look in their eyes tells you that they are more than willing to slip away, but it's still so very, very hard to accept. I'm sorry for your loss, and the pain you are going through, will go through for months. We'll all miss seeing photos of Kasha at the 'nip.
