Persia RB 8/8/2014

It was as I feared. Her kidneys were too far gone. So I made the painful
decision; Persia went to the bridge this afternoon.

The vet gave me a little heart shaped stone "memory box" with some of her
fur in it. She will be cremated and her ashes returned to me.

Heartfelt thanks to all of you for the kind words, wishes, and purrs.

I'm very, very sorry, Jill. From everything you wrote, she seemed like a
truly wonderful cat. May her memories bring you some measure of comfort.

I'm so sorry that Persia had to go to the Bridge.

I remember that she had thyroid disease, and that she got the I131
treatment, so she didn't have to take thyroid meds twice a day. It's
better for the cat, in the long run, I know.

Purrs for Persia, and for you.

Thanks, Gandalf. Persia was allergic to the r/x thyroid medication. It
made her all itchy and she was chewing her fur off her paws. I had to
put her in one of those e-collars... she hated that! The isotope
therapy really did help. I thought I was going to lose her in 2010, but
I didn't. She had four more good years. She dealt with the kidney
disease very well with diet and care...

She was a sweet loving cat. I couldn't possibly have asked for anything
more than that.

My sincere sympathy, Jill! Unless our tastes run to tortoises or
parrots, most of us can expect outlive many of our dear companions.
Sad that humans live so much longer than cats or dogs, but we can only
hope we meet again on the other side.

Jill, I am so very sorry for your loss. Persia was a lucky kitty to have found you, and she had a good, long life. Still I know you miss her terribly. Deepest condolences.

I've just heard from Adrian on FB and I'm completely shocked. Persia was one special cat- my condolences

Jill, I'm so very sorry. I can't believe she is gone. I feel like I knew
her through all your stories and descriptions of her over the years.
Sending you all our purrs for her journey to the Rainbow Bridge and for
your loss of your beautiful Persia.

Love - Deb, Phil, Willow, Bracken, Merlin, Spartacus, Isobel and Tegen

Purrs for Persia

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over... together.
