Friday greetings pawesome pals
It is with a furry heavy heart and much sadness that we post today.
Humphrey & Snowie have both departed fur the Rainbow Bridge and now have their beautiful wings. Both were OAC's [old aged cats] who lived long, long and beautiful lives. Humphrey was nearly 18 1/2 and Snowie almost 18 years old.
We are obviously devastated by this double whammy more than wurds could effur say as they were the last of the original gang who arrived in Sweepy Ville way back in 2000. They both passed peacefully in their sleep and are now at The Rainbow Bridge having a wild pawty with all their pals, chasing flutterby's galore and frolicking in endless meadows of catnip, and they're probably recruiting Angel Kitties to join The 'B' Team right now!
Both Snowie and Humphrey said they'd like to be Cloud Oppurratives like Angel Posie from now on, and will be popping back and forth on the blog.
So today furriends, we don't ask fur condolences, only that these two beautiful kitties, our fallen comrades and our bestest fursibs be remembered with much fondness, joy and love.

Poem For Cats
And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.
Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.
But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.
Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.
Are you ready to come home?

That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Snowie and Humphrey, we are sad that you are gone from here, but happy to know you've got your wings now and that you will be cloud operatives. We know you are young and strong again, and hanging out with Nellie and Moosey and so many others who are already at the Bridge. And so we celebrate your long and amazing lives, and remember you with love and joy. <3
ReplyDeleteI'm very sad to read this. :-( Even though they both lived good, long lives, I'm sorry your family had to lose them both this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! Murli and I send all our love and comforting hugs. It really is hard that both have gone OTRB, but on the other side, it's beautiful they both left together in peace and comfort of their loving home. We are with you in thoughts and our hearts during this difficult time. Lots of love, Natascha & Murli
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that Humphrey and Snowie have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I know they will be young and carefree again and am glad they will be Cloud Oppurratives along with Angel Posie.
ReplyDeleteWe're so sorry that Humphrey and Snowie have gone OTB. How sad for you that they both left together but they are now together and young and in peace. (((Hugs)))

If life is what we make of it, then Humphrey and Snowie made loads and had so much fun with a fantastic family, and the BEST P.A. a team could want. They will always be with us, with you, and whilst they now have wings, I am sure they'll be lending a paw in what ever adventure life throws the BEST B Team in the world!
ReplyDeleteHugs and gentle purrs to two lost pals.

ReplyDeleteOh dear, we are so, so sorry to hear such sad news. We just can't imagine losing two beautiful ones at the same time. Purrs, hugs and all our love to you.
ReplyDeleteThey went together paw in paw to a place with no pain or achy joints. Run free sweet cats! Nellie is probably throwing them a heck of a party.
ReplyDeletexxoo to their family,
Maggie, Mickey Mouser, and Rufus the Red
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to lose two precious kitties at the same time. My heart is really breaking for you. *hugs* My kitties and I will be purring and praying for you as you heal. You gave them the best life they could have ever asked for.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot even imagine losing two beloved anipals together. I know our angel Fiona and all the other kitty angels were waiting with open arms and purrs too welcome Snowie and Humphrey. You will be in our hearts as well as mom's heart and prayers as you grieve their loss. Sending lots of love and hugs.

ReplyDeleteMy heart is just broken for you. We are so very sorry for your loss, but happy they'll be together always, watching over you. Sending much love...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about Snowie and Humphrey. Your posts truly are missed - I noticed you hadn't published on Monday and Wednesday, and I worried that something was wrong. I wish we could keep our babies forever ... the memories and love last a life time - but there will always be a hole where their presence filled our lives. I can't even imagine the sense of loss you must feel at losing both so close together. I wish I had words to bring you comfort and peace. But I'd be honored to hear about and celebrate their lives at the Conference in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for this double loss, that is so sad. Snowie and Humphrey were such sweet kitties. XO
ReplyDeleteSharing a hug and sending a prayer, we are saddened by your loss.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. May it merely be temporary and not be too awfully long before you-all will be spending all of eternity together in our Heavenly Father's Kingdom of Heaven. Now, I cannot say, "Thus saith the Lord," about this as I can other things, but I cannot imagine Heaven being nearly as joyous without our beloved pets being there with us.
ReplyDeleteOh Basil... I'm so very saddened by this. Both Snowie and Humphrey? Together? This must be devastating to you and your PA. It doesn't matter how long we cats live, it's never long enough for our peeps.
ReplyDeleteBut you're right about those Heavenly nip fields. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're up there right now, with Nissy, chasin' butterflies.
My heart goes out to you all.
Love and purrs always,
Seville
So sad to read about the passing of Snowy and Humphrey, Basil & co. I only can imagine how it must feel to lose two of your furr babies in once :'( Soft Pawkisses to comfort you all. RIP sweet furriends <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteWow! So sorry to hear this but to be able to make that trip together as you have traveled through the years is such a terrific way to make the trip. Snuggles and purrs to comfort those left behind and to help dry the leaking eyes.
ReplyDeleteCharles and mommy, Anna
Oh how my heart is hurting for you!! Two? Together? I am so deeply, deeply sorry to hear about Snowie AND Humphrey........so deeply sorry. Yes, almost 18 and 18 and a half are long, wonderful lives, but it is heartbreaking none the less. It is eerie that they passed together, as if they planned it. Sending much love and comforting (((hugs))) So deeply, deeply sorry xoxo catchatwithcarenandcody

ReplyDeleteWe just heard about your two kitties from Ann Adamus. It must be tough to lose two pets at the same time! Can't even imagine.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you both graduated to the Heavenly Realms of the RB so close together. But now you are young, strong and healthy with beautiful shining wings with which to fly all the catnip meadows up there and to have fun with all your fellow angels.
ReplyDeleteWe helped petcretary make you a memento card, and we sent it to your PA in an e-Mail.
Sending much love and hugs to your earthly furmily.

ReplyDeleteWe were so sorry to hear your news, and two at the same time would be more than I could bear! You are right, they are probably having one big party up there. We're active in hte animal community on Twitter, and there are bunches of kitties and woofies at OTRB who party it up all hte time. So they are having a great time. M sends HUGS to the pawparents!

ReplyDeleteDear Basil we are trying a second time to leave a note for you - it wouldn't show first time. We just wanted to say we're so sorry for the loss of Snowie and Humphrey. We know they are in a happy place now but they do leave a hole in your heart and home so for that we are sad. Just know that we're sure Angel Sammy met them when they arrived and gave them a hug.

So sad. We have to OACs and shudder to think of losing them both at once. I'm sure Snowie and Humphrey are dancing in the nip fields. Angels Sanjee, Mini, and Gree will help show them around. *huggy paws*

We know how difficult it is to lose one of our babies so we cannot imagine your loss of two. We know they had long, wonderful, love filled lives and we understand how that must be a comfort to you. They are both watching over you now and will fill your heart with their love forevermore. Rest in peace. Lots of love to you.

The clouds are now fluffier & whiter & the rainbows a little brighter. This means that Humphrey & Snowie are happy and safe.
