I had the same reaction as so many others here. The sinking heart, the reflex "OH NO!", the tears.

I am very sorry for your loss. Hopefully the pictures and memories will help your hearts heal. What a terribly sad time. She had the very best life a kitty could have!

Zoe,

Twenty years is a great testament to the loving home and family that Samantha had. Through the many years that you guys shared, I feel blessed to have heard and viewed portions of her wonderful companionship. She may have been a little bitty kitty but her presence was giant.

Rest sweetly dear Samantha. Know that you were and are loved by not only your family but by millions of others, too.

Zoe, my heart sank when I saw Samantha's name.

Pet Talk has lost 2 of their sweet "Grande Dames" this month.

I am so very sorry. Twenty years of love and purrs from such a wonderful girl as Samantha. I know how hard of a decision it is to make for them having had to make that decision for Tucker just the beginning of this month. Know that Miss Tucker was there waiting in the greenest pasture for Miss Samantha. They are now best friends and will be waiting paw in paw for us to be with them once again.

{{{{HUGS}}}} and again I am so very sorry. --- Meg

RIP Sweet Samantha

I am so sorry to read about your precious girl. I believe she lived the longest of any kitty that I have ever known and I am sure it was because of your love and care. Karen's poem is beautiful, as always. Play happily at the Bridge Samantha and please tell Trevor that I miss him. (((hugs)))

My heart dropped when I saw this thread.

Not "our" beautiful Samantha.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know you and your family loved Samantha very much, she had a wonderful, long life with you. I know we will all miss her. {{HUGS}}

It is such a sad thing to lose such a dear friend that has spent time with you thru the good and bad! Twenty years!!!! Today, most marriages do not last that long! May all the wonderful memories you have be of great comfort to you. Sleep softly, dear sweet Samantha...

Zoe,

I am so sorry to hear this. My heart is with you at this sad time. Maybe Samantha is now playing with my Felicia at Rainbow Bridge.

I am so very sorry.

That Has To Be So Difficult, After Samantha Has Been Such A Big Part Of Your Life For So Long.
But The Pet Angel Army Needed A Warm Wise Momma Cat To Help With The Eternal Baby Angels, And Samamtha Was Called To Fulfill Her Destiny To Help Love All The Tiny Ones And Comfort Them.
She Will Drop By With Her Little Charges , And Show Them When She Lived And Was So Loved For So Many Years.
And Shes Looking For That Place In The Sun Where You Can Meet Again In Love.
One Fine Day.

I'm so sorry. Samantha's graceful presence will be missed. I'm sure she went for the prettiest sunbeam.

A true matriarch of Pet Talk.
Sweet Samantha, you graced these pages with style and beauty. This is truly a huge loss not only for your Meowmie, but also for those of us living in far away places. We admired your pictures, we ooooo'd and awwww'd whenever your beautiful face showed up and we are the unfortunate ones because we never met you in purrrson.

Your youth is restored and you are now bouncing around with Tubby, Peanut, Bootz Da Kat and even my RB Speckles was there along with all the other PT angels to greet you.

RIP beauty queen.
{{{hugs}}} Zoe.

I've only been on Pettalk for a year now but I've read your posts about Samantha and looked at her beautiful pictures many times. I too was so shocked when I saw the title of this thread. I'm so very sorry that she is gone. But I'm sure she knows now that you did the most loving thing possible for her even though it was the hardest thing for you. I'm so sorry. I hope that each day gets a little bit easier. My thoughts are with you.

**Donnaj4962** · 08-29-2008, 11:07 AM

Oh my, I am just now seeing this. I am so sorry for your loss. But know that sweet Samantha is in a beautiful place, running and playing with our other PT babies! I am sure she has found her sunspot for napping!

RIP sweet Samantha. Your Meowmie loved you very much, as did your PT family. You will be so missed.
