Sasha Begins Chemotherapy On Monday!

[AvaJoy]

Oh my gosh, I am so saddened to learn of Sasha's departure to RB. She put up such a valiant effort to try and overcome her illness. Your tender, loving care made it worthwhile for her to fight with all she could . . . I know every moment spent together with you both will forever be etched in her spirit, as well as yours.

My heartfelt condolences to you both. Sasha will now enjoy health and happiness at the Rainbow Bridge, and if she encounters Meeshe he may be reminded of his tortie sister Muskrat that he misses dearly, and take her under his wing. Here's hoping the two of them will bond and sustain each other. Blessings and wishes for eternal peace, brave Sasha.

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry, Susan and Murray. I think I was afraid of seeing a response from you, but was so in hopes that there had been some improvement.

Please know that the two of you, and precious Sasha, are in our thoughts and prayers tonight.

Logan, Butter and Mimi

My very best wishes to you both on this special occasion. Fifteen years is - what - Pearl Wedding? Anyone out there in PetWorld know for sure? Anyway, Sasha has rained her pearls of wisdom and kindness upon us all and will be looking down on you lovingly from the Rainbow Bridge .

I do hope you can enjoy your special celebration dinner and put aside your sadness for a couple of hours.

Goodbye, sweet Sasha. I know it was time for you to journey on to the delights of the Rainbow Bridge. You stayed as long as you could to help Susan and Murray with the separation process. You gave them your *good days* as your last gift of so many gifts of love you bestowed on them over the years.

Sasha, I am so thankful that you were able to dictate your thoughts and communicate with us through your KatMaw. Some pet parents are wonderful people, but don't have the ability to take dictation. I am so glad that your mom was one of those with that special ability to *channel*. Your charming and disarming thoughts and observations have blessed so many of our days. Through her we knew you, the real you! Yet the double edge sword of loving you means now losing you. Goodbye, sweet Sasha. Remember those here who were so very fond of you.

I'm so very sorry you lossed your precious Sasha. My heart breaks for you at this difficult time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care of yourself, Sasha is now healthy and happy at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you to join her someday.

RUGRAT, Sasha's Kitten -- An update on Sasha, The Queen Calico's story...

We loved Sasha dearly and miss her very much. Sasha's 5 Kittens were born on the 18th of July 1995 in the City of Monreal, Quebec, Canada.

We named them: Carmel, Licorice, White Nose, Black Nose and Rugrat.

Carmel lives with his his family which includes two other cats. His humans are acquaintances so we do hear how he is doing, mainly through the exchange of cards during the Christmas -- Hanukkah holiday season.

Licorice, White Nose and Black Nose: they were placed into forever homes though a third party recommended by our veterinarian, the late, wonderful Dr. Dan Urtnowsky whom I dubbed TBC (The Big Chief). We never knew who adopted them.

Rugrat was a very cute Brindled Calico kitten who grew into a gorgeous cat. Like Carmel, she was adopted by people we trust and know. In fact, her human Mamma, Linda, is a good friend.

Rugrat passed away today, at home, the place where she was loved and that she loved. Rugrat took a turn for the worse; most likely died of a heart attack.

Rugrat's wonderful boxer dog, Chef and cat sibling, Merlin will comfort her human family and help them though the pain of her loss.

RIP, darling Rugrat b. 18th July 1995 d. 9th April 2011
Play well at Rainbow Bridge...your Mamma Cat, Sasha is there, overjoyed to have her kitten back! And your kitty sister, Beauty is there for you too.

Ode to Rugrat

A tiny bit of furry fluff
The wee one of a litter of five --
You stole Daniels' heart all those years ago
And went to live with Daniel, Beauty, Linda and Morrie.
Lucky you! A loving family with good hearts.

I loved you, dear Rugrat
and played with you during your kitten time
with Sasha and your siblings...
Sasha was my darling and is always in my heart
and you were one of her five parts

A tiny bit of furry fluff
Whom I so dearly loved.

Sasha and her Kittens
Beginning with the kitten closest to Sasha's nose:

Black Nose; Rugrat, Carmel, Licorice and White Nose.

Black Nose and White Nose were Tuxedo looks; Licorice was black with darker black stripes on his back.

I'm so sorry to learn of Rugrat's passing. She had a good life thanks to you and to the loving family who adopted her.

Rest in peace, darling Rugrat, home with your mom Sasha now by the Rainbow Bridge.. healthy and happy in the Summer Lands waiting for the Grand Reunion, in the Land of Heart's Desire.

I am sorry to hear about Rugrat. She was much loved here on earth, and was surely welcomed by her mommy,Sasha, at the Bridge.

RUGRAT, B. 18th July 1995 d. 9th April 2011
Beloved kitten of my darling Sasha, The Queen Calico Cat
One of five kittens

This is a recent photo of Rugrat, from her human Mamma, Linda.




We called her Rugrat but when Daniel (son of Linda & Morrie) was a little one under the age of 10, he had chosen "Chicklet" as the name of his baby kitten. However, he found Rugrat suited her so kept the name. Rugrat had a lovely brindled calico sister, Beauty and is survived by her two other siblings, gorgeous boxer named Chef and Merlin, the =^..^=

We all feel Sasha, Beauty and all of the darling pets of our lives are having a big party at Rainbow Bridge, and the star of the event is RUGRAT

To those who remember my Sasha and to all of you have sent condolence, thank you from Linda, Morrie, Daniel, Chef and Merlin

and from me and Murray.

I love this site; animal lovers who understand and empathize.
