I'm so sorry to hear about Peeka.

RIP sweet Peeka.

What can I say? It sounds like Peeka had a very peaceful, loving and caring send-off to the meadow of Spring Sunshine at the Rainbow Bridge. And I'm so glad you have a supportive and sweet man that helped you both through this(good onya Michael, as we say down here). The tree will be a memorial to her sweet spirit and brave soul, while she waits for you at the RB. And you know what? Some day in the distant future when you meet again, she'll know you straight away, but you might not spot her straight away, you'll be looking for your Tail-less Wonder, and she will be wholly healed again, tail and all... Much love to you and good wishes for your own impending surgery. Look after yourself now, you have done all you could do, sparing her further pain was the last and most special gift you could ever give Peeka.
I also want to pay tribute to your courage in sharing your heart so openly with us these last few days, I feel honoured to have been there with you, by way of this lovely POTD community which I have only recently joined. Thank you Mary.

Thank you, friends, so much for being there for me through all of this. Last night was a "dark night of the soul" and this morning it's still raining here in Ohio but I feel better.

I brought Boo into bed w/me last night because he's still looking all around the house for his little sister. He checks all the compartments in the cat condos and all the nooks and crannies and corners of the room for her, so he's feeling lost right now. He snuggled in nice and tight this morning as I did my inspirational reading and had my coffee in bed, my usual morning routine. When I was finished, I said "Well, Boo Bear, let's go greet the new day." He looked up at me and jumped out of bed and ran to the door but still waited for me and I brushed my teeth again, etc. So I need to pay more attention to him and the rest of my furbabies. Each day it will get easier, I know. And it's because of the support and friendship that I've received from you and my loved ones here at home that got me through it. I will definitely remember this and will do my best to comfort you all if/when the time should ever come.

Blessings,
Mary

Mary I am so sorry to hear about Peeka. I can totally understand what you are going through. I recently had to have my baby Sooty put to sleep.

{{{hugs}}} to you.

RIP Peeka.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just had to wipe away a few tears before I could even respond. It sounds like she had a very peaceful transition to the Rainbow Bridge and what a wonderful tribute with the tree. It will forever remind you of her, not that you would be likely to forget. Sounds like you have a nice man too! Glad he is there along with your other furry babies to comfort you. Peeka will always live in your heart and her spirit is with you. Rest in Peace sweet Peeka.

Oh, so sorry to hear about Sooty, Nikki. I'm sure Sooty and Peeka are safe now and making new friends at the RB. Thanx for your support and post, you and everyone.

Blessings,
M

I am so sorry to read about Peeka. Her spirit in now free in the RB and she is playing hard with all our other friends who have passed over.

Mary, My heart is aching right next to yours, and reading ths thread (that I missed before due to lots of rescuing) has brought back floods of emotions for me also. I'm sorry Peeka had to leave you, and your family, but she's playing over that glorious Bridge now. I have lost a few of my furkids to sudden organ failure as well. One of my most memorable was a feral kitten who was wild as all getout when I took him and his littermates in years back. Benjamin was only four years old when he developed kidney failure. I tried for a week to give him daily fluids, but even his favorite word "MEEEAAAATTTT" wouldn't bring him running after a few days of being juiced up. I couldn't bear seeing him become fearful of me after he became a sociable, and loving boy.

As much as it broke my heart to have to let him go so young, having him revert back to being a frightened feral was not fair to him at all. RIP Benjamin, and play gentle with Peeka & Sooty, and all the other much loved PT RB kitties.

Hug Boo for me Mary.

Thanx, Jan,
Your words mean a lot to me. I'm still feeling kind of empty right now but I know that it gets better w/time. When I do roll call before bed, Peeka's name is always first on the list and I get choked up when I call out her name.

Boo is just in a daze. He misses his little sis, I can tell. He does have Pigeon, his main squeeze, to keep him company, but he doesn't seem to want it right now. Last night he sprayed on a box that I have in storage in the basement and when I yelled "No, Boo!" he just kept right on doing it. I guess it's a reaction to all that's happened, so I let it go this time .

My main concern now is that things are going to be different around here next week when I go in for surgery. I don't want any of my fur posse to get sick or act out. I'm just grateful that none of this happened when I was in surgery or recuperating. What would I have done? But it happened the way it did and Peeka is at peace. I just wish I was.

Thank you again and blessings to you,
Mary

Just a note to wish you well for next week with your surgery etc. and hope the initial rawness of Peeka passing on has settled a bit and all the other cats are OK. Have a good weekend.

**Medusa** · 05-06-2005, 07:17 AM

Thank you so much. Yes, I'm doing better now. And I have faith that my surgery will go well and I can use the time off work to rest. I'm going motorcycle riding on Mother's Day. May as well get in some fun now while I can. And riding blows the cobwebs out of my head.

Thanx again for the well wishes...

Blessings,
M
