As most of you know Tony and I are cat lovers. Cali and Marra are the kids we will never have. This morning I came home from work and discovered Marra on the side of the bed in a coma. We had planned to take her to the Vet today. She had lost weight and was acting pretty strange. Now you must understand she had always been a little sickly since we adopted her from the SPCA some 6 years ago. She was always the one with the UT infection and the colds and such. She always recovered from whatever it was. This time she did not. We rushed her to the emergency vet and she was already almost brain dead and liver her failed. In one of the hardest decisions either Tony or I has ever had to make, We decided to let her go home across the rainbow bridge.

I know not all of you will understand this, we loved Marra like you love your children and today we lost a piece of our hearts that will will never get Back. Please say a few prayers for us in this hard time. Love your pets and enjoy your time with them. It is more precious than words can express.

Oh Johnathan! You know me - I understand perfectly!

God Bless little Marra! I'm so sorry for you and Tony!

Prayers headed down south for ya.. sad story.. I'm sorry to hear about what happened

As an animal lover I am so sorry this has happened to you guys. I had to make that decision once with my poodle that had been part of my life 14 yrs. It's not easy...... you've got some prayers coming your way

My thoughts and prayers are with you *snuggs*

I am so sorry, Jonathan. I lost one of my "four felines" back on September 11, 2003--his name was Monkeyface, and I still have his brother, Snoopy (litter mates). So, I know how you feel.

I have 2 human children and 4 animal children...love them all! I can relate to what you are going thru....had a 16 year old cat that I had to make the decision to put to sleep....it's hard, very hard. At least Marra had your love for 6 years.

i am so sorry. i know what you must be going through. we have a very old sheltie who is probably not far behind your kitty.

Thank you everybody for your kind words. I never knew how hard this was

maybe we could start a memorial thread for family critters that have gone beyond.....

Sorry to hear Rainband! We have plenty of pets here and they're very much part of our family.

My prayers go from Puerto Rico to Marra.

Sorry to hear that Rainband

Sorry about your kitty kitty....I know that was one of the hardest things you had to do. We have had to let two of our dogs go in the past and it was like ripping our hearts out but they are better off in doggy heaven chasing all the squirrels and birds up there...look out kitty you gonna have a good time Heaven is a wonderful place!

My thoughts are with you Rainband!

I am so sorry about Marra, Johnathan! I whole heartedly believe in the Rainbow Bridge and you will see her waiting there for you some day!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Tony, Johnathan.

There actually is a site http://rainbowsbridge.com/ for pet memorials.

Johnathan, you and Tony didn't want to keep your
beloved family member around, in agony, and, now,
Marra is chasing butterflies and stretching out in the
sunshine, in a wonderful place. Duckie has posted a
lovely memorial, and, it's absolutely grand. Don't feel
so sad... there's wonderful things awaiting, outside this
world, you know?

Than you everyone from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

i know exactly how you feel. i miss blackie

Awww, so sorry Johnathan. I've lost a few pets...loved them dearly.
