Randi as with others my heart breaks for you and I feel the pain you are feeling for your loss of such a dear, sweet boy. The only consolation is knowing he is now with Jonza.

Godspeed dear Fister - it was an honour and a pleasure knowing you. Sleep sweetly.

Oh, Randi, It is so hard to write through the tears. Fister was one of my favorite Pet Talk kitties. I know how big the hole is in your heart right now. Please know you did the best thing for him. He is with Jon now and they both know how much you love them. Prayers for peace for you!!!

[Grace]

I'm so very sorry. You will see him again - one fine day

[cassiesmom]

Oh, Randi. ((((HUGS)))) I am so very sorry to learn this sad news. I agree with everything that everyone has already written. (((HUGS)))

Randi, my heart breaks for you. Nothing I can say will truly console at this, the hardest of losses, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rest in Peace golden Fister boy. You were a true prince among cats.

I am crying too. I always looked forward to seeing pics of your handsome orange boy. Let the tears come. They are healing. Know that he is in a better place now. You made the right decision although it is a very difficult one to make. I just think our kitties should live much longer darn it!

My thoughts are with you.

Randi, I don't know you or Fister, but I am in tears reading your post. I am so, so sorry for your pain, which is know is great; Fister's departure has left a huge hole in your home and in your heart. May Fister's Creator hold you gently in the hollow of His hand, comfort you, and lead your heart to peace.

I am so sorry for your loss..Fister is a beautiful boy, who will be missed here..but most of all he is now locked in your heart forever..and no one can take that away from you..ever. It may not seem so now, but you did the greatest last LOVING thing you could for him, by releasing him from pain and letting him fly.

RIP Fister, you have earned your wings, and then some..

It's almost impossible to sort this out in your heart and your mind right now..but I will leave you with this, keep him close in your heart.

My heart is breaking I'm sure John was at the RB waiting for Fister's arrival.

No matter how much you prepare yourself, it doesn't make it any easier.

Randi, take comfort in knowing that your friends are here for you.

Randi, I'm so sorry. Remember the good times.

I’m trying to keep level-headed, but is so hard! I have to deal with Fister’s cremation tomorrow. I have of course thought about this earlier and decided to have Fister cremated seperately and have him in an urn in my bedroom, if I can find one I like. ADA's, who they use probably have some to choose from, but what if I don’t like any of them. The other choice is to have him cremated with other cats, but I feel I can’t do that. My boy needs something special!

Fister is still at the hospital, I could not make a decision right after and I wanted to talk about this with his own vet, I trust him. I have written a letter to him to ask if they can ring me tomorrow morning and perhaps give me advise or arrange the cremation, but I don’t really know what to do. The vets have visited the place and they liked the way they handled it. But perhaps I should let the hospital arrange it after all, so Fister doesn't have to be moved. I promised to call the hospital monday and tell them my decision. Wish I lived in house with a garden!

Thank you everyone of you for your kind wishes and support. It does help a little now that I feel so alone.

Oh Randi, I was thinking of you all morning and my heart breaks for you at the thought how alone you must feel, now that your boy is gone... I know how empty my flat was when I lost Katz; before Luna moved in... It was hard to bear.

Having him cremated is a nice thought, and I totally understand that you do not want him cremated with other cats. I hope all is handled the way you wish, and that you will find a nice urn, perfect for your boy. You're right, he deserves that!

[pomtzu]

Randi - I believe that it's a good choice you made to have Fister cremated. I have done this with most of my RB cats and dogs, as I too plan to be cremated and take them all with me when I am scattered. They all had "private" cremations, as I wanted only their remains and not that of other pets. If you don't care for the vessel that they put him in, there are many places on line that you can purchase pet cremation urns - just Google it.

My heart still breaks knowing what you are going thru right now. You will find the strength to get thru it and move on (tho differently), in time. Fister will always be in your heart, and that can never be taken away from you.
