Re: Scooter has gone to the bridge
Peggy, I'm so sorry Scooter passed on. I think you've really pulled all the good out of the situation, from reading your post, you sound like you've really learned a lot that will help other cats in the future from Scooter's experience. Your vet is right, you should keep the memory of Scooter in his good times in your mind, and remember, so long as he's in your thoughts, he's never really gone. My condolences go out to you. Keep that positive attitude, it's a ray of sunshine in times of darkness, and I really respect you for that; but also know it's OK to be sad, and to cry, it's natural to hurt when someone you love dies. You're not weak for grieving, you're just being human. Phaewryn No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: Scooter has gone to the bridge
i believe that scooter, like so many of our little ones, came to YOU because he knew that you would love him, and care for him, and help make his passage as easy as possible. he needed things that only you could provide him to continue his journey. he left this world with things that too many humans don't have--love, a roof over his head, medical care, food. especially love. those are the memories he takes with him. i bet your vet is correct--he's running away young and healthy, free of pain and fear--and telling everyone he meets what WONDERFUL people he found.

I am so sorry. Your vet is right and Scooter is sending you lots of kitty kisses now for all you did for him. Leaving this world loved is not a bad thing at all.
