Another baby to the Rainbow Bridge

[moosmom]

I am so sorry to hear about Socks. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

As far as those idiots who make stupid comments like "he's just a cat", consider the source.

Hang in there and know that we're here for you.

Karen, I'm so sorry you and your mom and dad has lost Socks.
I'm sure he knew he was loved and he will always be in your hearts. Remember the good times with him! He feels no pain now - I agree your mom and dad made the right decision.

You'll be in my thoughts. Take care!

Rest in Peace, Socks!

Hugs from us,
Randi & Fister

I'm so sorry about Socks! There's been a lot of cats called to the Rainbow Bridge lately.

People who think pets are disposable make me mad.

FWIW, sometimes cats can be doing really well, then they "crash". That's what happened with RB Smokey the Elder. She had had cancer which went into remission, then came back with a vengeance.

I am so sorry to hear about your beloved Socks. He wasn't "just a cat", he was a well loved cat who will be greatly missed by all.
May you rest in peace sweetie.

Karen, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Socks. Prayers are on the way for you and your family. I know that this is a very difficult time for you and your family but try to remember the good times that you shared with him and he'll always remain in your heart. Now he's pain free and playing at Rainbow Bridge with my Pepper and many others. Rest in peace Socks and please remember that you will be greatly missed. {{{HUGS}}}

I was so heartbroken when I read your post, Karen. My own Mr. B was diagnosed with diabetes at just about the same time Socks was. Please remember that you and your Mom did all that you possibly could. It is a very unpredictable disease. But there is no doubt that Socks knew every moment of his life, how very loved he was, and is. Please accept my most sincere and heartfelt condolences. I will be keeping you, your Mom and your family and precious Socks in my thoughts and prayers. Please come here when you need to talk. Those who are incapable of empathy over the loss of an animal are to be pitied. Love and {{{hugs}}} to you Karen. I'm so sorry Bless you dear Socks. Rest easy now sweetie. You will never be forgotten.

I'm so sorry to hear about dear Socks. He was definitely a very loved kitty, and lived a good life. And I'm sorry you aren't closer to home to be with your mom at a difficult time for both of you. It wouldn't make it any easier, but at least if you could actually hug each other you might feel better in your shared sorrow.

RIP sweet Socks. And hugs to you Karen, and your Mom and Dad too.

And a message to the RB. Ok, so you're a great place for our pets to go, but please, you have plenty for the time being, don't you?

[marysmerrycats]

yeah, that old it was only a cat. those people should learn to keep their mouth shut. obviously it was not just a cat to you or you wouldnt be upset. just a cat, what is that?? its a living being, and you loved it,. so they are belittling your sorrow. I hate braindead people like that. sad too, since they don't understand the love between a pet and its human!
sorry for your loss, and I know how much it hurts to lose a fur-baby.

Karen, I'm so sorry for the loss of Socks. We have all hoped that he was improving. Please let your mother and father know that our thoughts and prayers are with them, and of course, with you too.

A cat is a perfect soul.

I feel for all cats. I'm glad your family was there to love Socks so much.

Godspeed to the bridge,
Socks.

I know this sounds sappy, but I really was moved to tears reading all of your kind responses.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support during this rough time. It isn't easy, but it's comforting to know that I have a whole huge cyber family that really understands. I forwarded all of your messages to my mom and she was really touched.
Thank you so much
***hugs***
