Oh Pam ...

I'm so sorry you've had to say g-bye to the Orange Man ...
He was such a handsome and regal Kitty.

Fifteen Years will leave you with a lot of wonderful memories to look back on -
enjoy every one and be thankful that Trev picked you as his Mom.

Agin, my deepest Sympathies for your loss.

Oh Pam, I am so sorry.

Trevor was a beautiful boy & I know he loved
you very much. You were a wonderful mom & he had a good 15yrs with you.
I know you will miss him very much.

Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

For some reason, a poem like this seems to be a good way to help process the grief. I was intending to search for one for Trevor, but Liz has already found the perfect one. I just wish that Pet Talk had music. Trevor's thread deserves music. Pam already knows how hard this news is hitting me. I shall come back to this thread often to see the notes that others have left for my little cyber nephew. My uncle passed away 9 years ago this week. Many of the flowering trees and shrubs were in bloom. This week too they are in bloom here. Flowers for Trevor.

What a handsome, wonderful, good and much-loved kitty Trevor was - and is.

I'm glad you and Andy can comfort each other, til you see Trevor again one day.

Pam, I'm so sorry another old timer PT kitty has left us. Especially Trevor. Remember the good times.

Pam, I'm so sorry to hear about Trevor's passing.

He had a great long life with you and your family and you'll meet again some day. RIP sweet boy.

Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I'm very sorry to read this. RIP Trevor. You were well loved.

**jenluckenbach** · 05-01-2008, 03:23 PM

I am SOOOOOOO sorry for your loss. RIP Trevor, you will be greatly missed.

**Barbara** · 05-01-2008, 03:43 PM

Just like Sara- I read the name and hoped it was not the only Trevor I knew

I am so sorry. I hope that Andy and you can get over it- and that Trevor will be happy and healthy again at Rainbow Bridge.

**Karen** · 05-01-2008, 03:46 PM

Sweet orange boy, Trevor dear
You'll be so missed by your people down here
Your sunny disposition sure brightened each day
And you touched many hearts in your own special way

Tread lightly as you arrive at the Rainbow Bridge
On those soft white paws, that many rubs did give
Sweet boy, orange man, you blessed us for fifteen years
And you'll live on in our hearts we know, so forgive us a few tears

Your humans will miss your solid warm, furry presence
But we know you'll still be with them, in their hearts instead
Send your momma some comfort, please, Trevor, sweet boy
A few streaks of orange in a sunset, soon, a little ray of joy

Sweet solid orange boy, Trevor, dear
You'll surely be missed by your people down here.

Theres A Special Dinner In Trevors Honor At The Harbor Bar Oyster Grill In Historic Singapore Where Trevor Will Get The Choice Of An Excellent Menu. Then A Trip To Fort Canning National Park And An All Night Party In The Raffle At The Plaza Hotel Where They Will Keep Room Service Hopping.
Hes A Good And Happy Cat, And Hes Sorry That You Have To Be Parted At Least Physically. But Hes With You In Spirit And Will Find A Place Where You Can Be Together Gain, And Never Be Parted Again.
One Fine Day.

Thank you so much everybody. The tears come each time I read a post or look at his pictures. He was one of four furbabies in this household but his absence is felt so much today. I know that Andy is grieving too. Trevor was the *head kitty* around here. He didn't do anything to earn that distinction. He just fell into the role naturally. Whenever they were seen snuggling together it was because Trevor had found a cozy spot and then Andy snuggled up next to him. It was never the other way around. Trevor was the leader. He was also such a good boy.

He got into his share of mischief as a kitten of course. He knocked an antique candy dish, given to me by my mother, off a high shelf. We both watched it break into 1,000 pieces. He didn't even run away.

He also chewed my wicker magazine basket and several cords on my venetian blinds. Oh and yes he also bent several of those blinds with his little kitty teeth. One morning I came downstairs to find that he had gotten into the Dunkin' Donut box and had a cream donut in his mouth. My other two poodles at the time were just standing there waiting for him to drop it, which he had no intention of doing.

As he grew a little older, around the time that Andy came to live here, he was a totally mellow fellow who didn't let anything bother him. He taught Andy how to behave and that was a really big job since Andy was the real nawtee boy of the two of them.

He never minded living with canine siblings. He got along with them all. Nothing stressed or bothered him. I could certainly take a lesson from him. He was honored six years ago as Cat of the Day and it makes me happy to remember that special day. The link is here and it tells a little bit about him that some of you may not know about my special boy.
