Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi All: My kitty cat was killed today by a dog. A friend had come over during the day to let the dogs out and brought her own dog along. I don't know what transpired as I was at work, but I received a call advising that my kitty was found dead in the middle of my art room. It's very tragic. Two of my dogs now have bloated bellies from eating all the kitty food that's all they cared about in the incident, and the nutty Lab got so scared from the happenings that she shat and peed all over my beddings in what used to be my room. Oddly last night I was dreaming of where to place the kitty litter box in my new home. My dream was filled with trying to find a good place, building special kitty doors within walls and doors, but even with creative engineering, I just could not find the " right " place. I write this to you for the reason of my experience after having bundled the kitty in a towel and picked it up and held it to my chest as I sobbed. I say it, because the life force was gone. It was no longer the kitty I had known; it was just a body. As difficult as it was to experience this, I find it important to share. I know it's important in my own journey to cherish this life that I have; to not be wondering from my path and getting snagged in thorny fear bushes. I don't want to miss my life's calling. I have but one life as Danielle. With love and sad mews. -Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Oh Danielle: May you find comfort in knowing you loved the little creature of the earth. The new dwelling will be a place of renewal- a place where there is only love where sorrow does not find a home. At times one wonders how much loss and sorrow one can embrace. You my friend have had an enormous amount it seems to me yet you are still here, loving , sharing and giving of yourself. Your actions speak volumes of your strength and surrender. We may not know the reasons for any of life's tests yet we can find comfort in knowing there is a reason. Love and prayers for you and kitty... e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown... ---------------------------- Danielle wrote: " My kitty cat was killed today by a dog.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Sorry to hear about this. I have owned lot of kitties and know how painful experience it can be. But, i feel we need to take solace in the fact that after the life force leaves the body of the animal it will move higher in the chain of evolution. Love and light.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Oh, Danielle, I just read this. I am so sorry to hear this! I have such a huge heart for kitties and anything that hurts them hurts me and I really take it all to heart. I'm crying just reading this. I once had a " memory " of a past life where I was a young girl who looked after the kittens in a sort of nursery in a culture that worshipped cats. A priestess of a sort and very attuned to cats. I've always felt like I was the Mother to all cats and they are my kids. You could ask my mother, she says I brought home strays since I was 2 years old!! I haven't really changed that much. Yes, it's so different when the life-force or spark of the Divine has gone and you feel it. You can't help yourself searching for that spark, " where are you? " . I also got the Rainbow Bridge from someone when I had to say goodbye to my last cat (she was 19 and failing in everyway so I had her euthanized--the hardest thing I've ever had to make myself do). I held her as her life force left. It does bring an insight to you also, like with your thought of there being only one go-around for the person known as Danielle in this lifetime. That is a positive thing to come out of such a sad thing. I wish you healing for your poor heartand forgiveness to the person and dog that did this. And I think there will be another kitty in your future so don't give up thinking about where the litter box should go or the cat flap put in. In my own experience, if you love cats, there is always a cat (or two) in your life. They give lots of love in their own special way, so different from the total unconditional love of dogs but just as precious. You are a precious one, too. My thoughts are with you.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi Danielle,  I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved kitty. I have a little story and I hope it brings you comfort.  When my daughter was little she brought home a tiny evergreen sapling from her first grade class to celebrate Arbor day. I was out of town, so her father (who never planted anything before) helped her plant the little twig.  When I came back, they couldn't wait to show me their little tree. It was planted very close to the house and was in a spot where it was not ideal for it to grow. But it did. And, as the years passed, it grew to where it was taller than me. I eventually had to move the tree to a better location. We always called it Kelsey's tree. In many ways it was like her. Because of a bone disease, Kelsey's arms and legs are bowed and twisted and so were her tree's limbs. I loved that tree and I cared for it. But suddenly one summer it started to die and nothing I did could save it. I was heartbroken when we had to cut it down.   A couple of weeks later I had a dream. I was in a beautiful field full of flowers. Every flower was alive and in perfect detail. The brilliant blue sky was alive and the bright white clouds were " alive " also. I saw a hill and at the top was a magnificent evergreen tree. Every branch and needle was alive and moving. I " knew " it was Kelsey's tree.    As I came closer I saw something in the branches. Sitting there was Beanie, my favorite cat who had passed away years before. Suddenly I noticed my beloved dog from childhood sitting at the base of the tree. And most blessed of all, there was my sister, who I had lost to cancer the year before, along with her husband who had just died that spring. Everyone and everything was whole, perfect, happy and beautiful and we all rejoiced.    Now, as I pass though life's unavoidable griefs and losses, I take comfort in the fact that I know with certainty, that even though it may not seem like it, they are temporary.   I hope this story brings you a little bit of comfort and peace.  I send you my love and blessings.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Dearest K Family: Thank you all for your peace and blessings. Mary, your story is so beautiful and something my heart can relate to. Umm, and rainbow bridge...thank you too to those you who were first on the scene offering your support offline. Thank you All. I'm indeed sad yet too I am at peace. The life force contrast experience has touched me deeply...the personality, light, and energy having moved on. This is too what I experience in the trees and flowers; that pulse and breath and warmth, and their " personalities " . It's so most profoundly a blessing to be here of this earth and interacting with all these extensions of the Divine. Go on, place your hands on the leaves of that tree and feel that life force; listen to your child's, loved one's or pet's heartbeat-just listen with every molecule of your being. Isn't that magnificent. I can look at the beautiful pastel gerber daisy clustering of three that my co-workers gave me, peek down into the coochie coo fuzzy baby leaves tucked in tight at the base of the stems, and be amazed by their maginificent beauty...it's all an extension of the same love that I felt for my kitty; it's all the same. *I do have a tip to share with you which may come in handy some day. My kitties have always taught me that you can replace any lyrics to a song with the word, " meow " . So, if you are ever in a bind and/or if you just want to amews yourself just meow the song. Love to you all. You're so dear and beautiful. -Danielle , merozema wrote: > > > > > Hi Danielle, > > > > Â I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved kitty.

It really does help me see that getting off the beaten path is a waste of a life. Having lost two cats withing two weeks of each other similarly I understand how hard it is to know that their spirit has moved on.
