My Michael, My Dream Cat passed on.

[Catlady711]

Sorry to hear the news. Thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry that Michael's time on earth is over. I know he will wait
for you at Rainbow Bridge. He will wait to join you again, whole & healthy.
No need for forgiveness, you allowed Michael to keep his dignity go to his
rest peacefully.

Rest In Peace sweet Michael.

I am so sorry.

I am so very sorry to hear this Gary. There is nothing to forgive and many memories to comfort you in time.

Gary, I am so sorry to read about your beautiful dream cat, Michael. He went to the Rainbow Bridge in peace and you were with him to ease his pain. That's everything he wanted from you in the end, and you made his journey so much easier by holding him and giving him your love as he passed. I know you will miss him very much after 17 years together, but he will be playing gently with all those who have gone before him until that "one fine day." I'm sure he had a wonderful reception when he arrived, but it won't compare to the celebration you will all have together someday. You have had too much sadness this year in having to say goodbye, but while your kitties were with you, they knew love.

Rest in peace, Michael. Play gently at the Bridge until that one fine day.

Dear Gary - I'm so sorry to read about Michael's passing. You were with him at the end of his time here on earth and you will see him again when God calls you home. You gave Michael a long, wonderful life at the Found Cats Hotel. This is such a sad time for you and your other cats, they will feel Michael's absence too. Michael will be missed by everyone who knew him, whether personally or through your writings.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Michael, Gary. He was definitely one of my favourite found cats and I'll miss seeing your photos of his sweet little face. Please accept my most sincere of condolences.

Dear Michael, I always enjoyed reading about you and watching your lovely face. I am glad you were able to spend almost 18 years of a good life with your favorite human. You are missed. Rest in peace sweet boy.

I am so sorry to hear about Michael. *HUGS* to you and prayers sent.

I wish I knew what else to say

[Laura's Babies]

I had to get up and walk away from the computer after seeing this.

I know how much you loved that handsome boy and he knew it too. You gave him a wonderful life and a peaceful transition to his next life where he will be well, playful and reunited with his old buddies. He will not be alone at RB, he will have plenty of company and more piles of Found Cats to snuggle with.. He has brought them news of how things are going at your fine Hotel and how you are so you know they are all gathered around him talking about the "old days" and having a great reunion!

Thank You very much for the kind words from Our Pet Lover friends.
I could have had taken My Dream Cat in, and got him fluids but Dr Marsales quietly said that it would be at best a delaying tatic.
Michael is now with me with All Of Our Angels and I will treat them all to meals they will love
We are issusing an open invitation to the Pheasant Plucker Monday where we will celebrate the Life Of Michael.
Please come one and all

My little Christofur was right in front with the enormous Welcoming Committee when Michael arrived at the Bridge! Christofur regards Michael as his perfect role model of just what an orange cat should be, and he hopes Michael will be his mentor and look after him.

He and all the others are looking forward to Michael's lunch at the Pheasant Plucker Monday!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Gary I am so sorry!!! I know how much you love Michael. Sometimes letting them go is the most loving thing you can do for them. I was in sort of the same situation with Leonardo. I'm sure Leonardo was in the crowd of Pet Talk babies welcoming Michael to the Bridge.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm so sorry to be reading this, Gary. Michael was a perfect cat and he lived a perfect life with you. You know that already, of course, but it is just so hard to lose them.

Godspeeed, Mr Purr.

[catmandu]

I guess the best thing is that we went so quickly.
Michael was in the doll house bed and was so still and barely moving. Dr Marsales is fairly sure that it was a stroke or heart attack and while he could take Mr Purr in, theres was not much chance that Michael would ever lead a quality life again.
My Poor Little Owesome Orange Friend. you are My Special Cat and we I pray will meet once more.
One Fine Day.
