In Memory of Lucky

Lucky sounds like a very loved cat, and an important member of the family. I am sure he is watching over you, your own feline angel, for now and forever.

I'm sorry that you couldn't be w/Lucky when he went to the Rainbow Bridge but he knew how loved he was and he truly was a lucky boy to have been found and cared for by you and Deb all those years. It isn't ridiculous at all to mourn your cat. All of us here on Pet Talk have been there. It's painful but to go w/out their companionship would be even more painful. I know that Lucky is looking down on you, waiting for the day when you all will be together again. RIP, sweet Lucky and peace to your humans.

John & Deb ~ I am so sorry for your loss.
Most of us here have experienced the loss of a loved child. No one here thinks "It's just a cat".

I'm sorry that such a sad occasion brought you here, but welcome.

Fragile Circle by Irving Townsend

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

To be completely honest, I have found it harder to deal with the death of our cats, than with humans, despite my relationship with them(the humans). The cats love us no matter what. They do not care that we are fat, our hair is gray or we are balding, they just love us. So, never feel bad that you mourn so for Lucky!! You were LUCKY that he came into your life and he will always love you. I am so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful creature like Lucky. Saint Theresa once said, " Perfection consists in doing God's will and being just what He wants us to be." In Lucky's case, he was the best cat!!! Sleep softly, sweet Lucky...

Dear John, I'm very sorry that you have lost your beloved Lucky! He lived a wonderful life full of love, he was a part of your family, and he was special. Many of us here experienced the same pain, and felt the same emptiness in our hearts. One day, you will remember your feline friend with a smile, and feel blessed that you had such a wonderful creature in your life! Remember, he will always live on in your hearts!

R.I.P. little Lucky!

Dear John and Deb,
Lucky was a lucky cat. He found you two, and loved you as much as you obviously loved him. I am so sorry he was taken from you so young. May the memories of his happier days comfort you in time.

John, I have tears in my eyes after reading your beautiful tribute to Lucky.

I don't believe that there is a person on this board who thinks "this is just a cat." How can you, when you live with them and receive all of the love that they can give you?

Starting from the beginning with my very first kitty who lived to be 18 years old - he was not "just a cat" - he was my child and I loved him so much just as I have the kitties that have moved in with me since I lost him.

John and Deb, I feel your loss and I am happy that you came to this gentle forum where all of us understand and care. There just isn't anything like a cat!!

John and Deb, I'm so sorry to hear about Lucky's passing.

He sure was an amazing cat and now he's pain free and up at Rainbow Bridge. I don't have any children and my cats are like children to me so I can relate to what you're saying. Ever time I've lost a cat it's hurt me deeply but time does heal some of the pain. You will see Lucky again and he may even come to visit you. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please take care.
