Chuck our one-eyed wonder cat crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday

[Klondike Kat]

He was almost 19 years old. The last several years he was on medication for hyperthyroidism. Even though he ate a great deal he was just skin and bones and was having a hard time getting around.

It felt strange not having a furry alarm clock to wake me up this morning.

For the first time in over 20 years we are without a cat in the house. I'm not certain how I feel about that.

I'd post a photo of Chuck, but I don't know how to insert it.

1. I'm so sorry about Chuck.

I could not be without mine.

To post the photo, you post the URL link to where you uploaded it to, like Photobucket, etc. You can't insert a photo on DU any other way.

4. So sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies for losing your beloved Chuck.

[Ocelot II]

5. R.I.P., Chuck. I'm sorry he's gone.

He had a good long run, and I know you'll miss him.

6. Dear Kittie

cross over gently. So sorry.

7. Lady Bast, please take Your Chuck home gently in Your loving arms, and

send peace and confort to his grieving loved ones.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious boy. Do not be surprised if he comes to visit you. And, if/when you are ready, he will send another to you.

9. I still say thank you to my recently passed Snuggles,

I'm so very sorry, those 19 years changed you in many ways. Please allow your grief to take a uninterrupted journey that will honor Chuck in a way that only you can.
God bless you and that beautiful treasure of a friend that you had and that you were.
Ecclesiastes 3.18-20 gave me the comfort I needed to trust that my Snuggles soul is safe.
There are so many ways she positively enriched my life.
I have found that during my daily walks to aid in my back surgery recovery, I ask her to come along like she used to and I talk to her about whatever flows.

10. I am so very sorry for your loss.

R.I.P. Chuck.

11. My deepest condolences on the loss of dear, sweet Chuck.

Fly free to the rainbow bridge.🌈 💔

[Fla Dem]

12. I am so sorry Chuck is no longer with you. He will always be in your heart.

[Siwsan]

13. I'm convinced they never really leave us

There are times I will see something move, out of the corner of my eye, and my kidcats are all on the other side of the house. I immediately think of Sophie Stinky Toes. She rarely let me out of her sight so maybe that habit continues.

[ratchiweenie]

14. I'm so sorry. Nineteen years is a long time and it sounds like it was definately his time. Still

there's a big something missing from our lives when they pass.

[twodogsbarking]

15. You did a great job. Pets thank you.

[onecaliberal]

16. I'm so sorry.

Insert broken heart.

[CaptainTruth]

17. So sorry...

[calimary]

18. I'm so sorry to hear that.

When they leave, there’s such a big hole they leave in your heart.

I still miss the fur babies who’ve left me, ever since my first cat came into my life when I was a kid.

Hugging you. (((((*)))))

[screamcheese]

19. The cat died

I'm sorry to hear about Chuck. It's really hard to lose long-loved pets. But, people, please get real. There is no such thing as the Rainbow Bridge. The cat died.

[niyad]

21. Did somebody piss in your cheerios this morning? What a nasty, rude,

unfeeling, totally unnecessary post. However self-important that dreadful screed makes you feel, you should delete it.

[Ocelot II]

23. What a nasty thing to say to or about someone

who’s grieving the loss of a beloved pet. To intrude with your grim, sad belief system on a thread like this is just cruel.

[niyad]

26. Oh dear, looks like I missed a nasty little response. Did you see yours?

[Ocelot II]

33. Earlier today - just came back, saw it was gone,

but it was something to the effect that there's no Rainbow Bridge and we should grow up.

[ShazzieB]

34. It was even more mean-spirited than the first one.

I alerted on it. Really glad it's gone!

[niyad]

38. Thank you! Seems I miss all the fun!

[3catwoman3]

28. How do you know?

We can't prove there is. You can't prove there isn't.

[ornotna]

29. You've been lurking all this time

Just to post this nonsense. Priceless.

[hlthe2b]

31. Why would you come here specifically to post this and cause pain to someone grieving?

It is incomprehensible to me that someone would be so unkind--no matter what you do or do not believe.

[marble falls]

36. Bye, Felicia.

[flashman13]

20. Losing a fur buddy is very hard. A rescue kitten could make things better.

27. You must have so many memories after 19 years.

No matter how long they've been with us, it's never long enough.

One of our vets once said to us, after the passing of a fairly senior cat, that offering a loving home to a successor was the best way to honor a departed cat.

[PlutosHeart]

30. I am so sorry for your loss.

Each one is so special but there are the ones who just break our hearts because they were so full for love. Bless you.

[Niagara]

32. Rest in Paradise, Chuck

My deepest condolences on your loss, Klondike Kat.

[Chicagogrl1]

35. Hugs

[debm55]

37. I am very sorry for the loss of Chuck. May the memories of Chuck be in your heart forever. Hugs.

[Skittles]

39. so very sorry

Grieve not
nor speak of me with tears
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you
I loved you so
’twas Heaven here with you
