    Magnificent Moonlight...

    What a heartwarming but heartbreaking story. Moonlight you were loved, no matter how short a time it was. You had a full belly, and cuddles too. I know you appreciated it, as all homeless cats do.
    My family have two outdoor boys who we adore and love. Sylvester must've been a former pet as he will let us pick him up and love him. His son Fatty however if full feral and won't let you touch him. He is a scaredy cat alright. But they have a little house out in the garden, full bellies daily and lots of attention and love if they want it. All cats leave paw prints on our hearts, and those special ferals that we get the chance to form bonds with leave that extra special bitter sweet print, that we never ever forget.
    Rest Peacefully Moonlight....you have been loved.

    Awww, Moonlight, your story touched a very fragile place in my heart. Many years ago I, too, was the Mom of a semi-feral. I bonded with CK and we came to an understanding; he came in at dusk and was released at daybreak. He was a big, strong, muscular Tom who ruled the 'hood. He didn't come home once; I got a call from a man whose car he darted in front of, as he did let me put a collar on him.

    I digress...Moonlight, you were much loved in the fragile world you inhabited. You were a beautiful creature with a heart that allowed love, which is something special for a feral. Sleep peacefully, sweetie, while we honor your memory as COTD.

    Moonlight, what a glorious mystical name, so purrfect for a cat of your ilk. You lived life on your terms, but you were also willing to change your terms, for love. RIP big guy, you were a handsome guy, and quite a special purrsonality.

    Moonlight

    What a great name that was for him and i had tears this morning while reading your story-i have two female ferals that had kittens and i learned alot about trapping and fixing them-i still feed the moms and kept two kittens(indoors) -but i worry about the moms all the time when they arent around my home-it had to be the greatest feeling to be able to hold moonlight and to hear him purr-im sorry you didnt have more time with him but glad he came back to be with you one last time

    The trouble with cats...

    As Moonlight's story demonstrates, cats have many qualities and are very generous with the humans whose lives they touch. Their faults are incredibly few, the worst being simply that they don't live forever. All four cats who have owned me have been "rescues" in one way or another, but I have been the one who was rescued. To see and read about Moonlight is to relive the great honor of finding myself the subject of matter-of-fact love and loyalty such as only a cat can give... but also the enormous vacuum that loss of a feline friend leaves.

    Moonlight, I'm sorry I missed your story earlier. You had a great relationship with the human that cared for you. You are at peace now at the Bridge. That you made your way back to pass in their care says volumes of your understanding of each other.

    I know you are looking in on your human and his/her current kitties from the Bridge.
    Anne
    Meowmie to Lucy Lou and Barney, and Aunt to Timmy (RIP)

    Former kitties now in foster care: Nellie aka Eleanor van Fluffytail (at a Cat Cafe), Lady Jane Grey, Bob the Bobtail, and Callie. Kimi has been adopted into another family that understands Siamese. HRH Oliver Woodrow von Katz is in a Sanctuary.

    I'm Homeless, but with resources, and learning to live again.


    RIP Timmy (nephew kitty) May 17, 2018, Mr. Spunky (May 10, 2017), Samwise (Dec 2, 2014), Emily (Oct 8, 2013), Rose (Sept 24, 2001), Maggie (Fall 2003)
