Hissie crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Yesterday a little before noon here in Kentucky, my precious little Hissie was put to sleep. She truly went so quickly and peaceful. My heart is so broken though. I know I chose the right thing for my old girl, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. She was the absolute furry little love of my 53 yrs. It will never be the same without her. There is such a lonesome void in my home now. But, my old girl put up a long and hard fight. Ever since the intestional surgery in Jan. 09. And I did all within my power to help her get better and to be comfortable. I know that. Hissie though grew very tired and old. I have cried and cried over missing her since yesterday. And I have cried so many tears over Hissie during the months she was so sick. This was a very hard week though for me, once I made my mind up that I had to put Hissie to sleep this time. My husband Bruce went along with it thank God. He had clung too hard to her these months. He is taking it very hard as well. She was our little girl...our baby. And she was always treated with such respect and love by us.
I held her while the vet performed the procedure yesterday. I swore my legs were like butter. It is harder on us humans to put our beloved friends to sleep, then it is actually on our little loved ones that are put to sleep. I promise anyone on this forum, that if you have to put your cat to sleep, I realize it is a difficult decision to make, but our kitties go most peaceful like. My Hissie suffered for many months. Sure she had good spells, but we always came back to her getting so sick again. Hissie even rallied back the night before putting her to sleep this time. She has done us that way before, when we had an appointment to put her down. But, I knew it was only temporary this bouncing back the way Hiss has been known to do.
But, I want to thank all my friends here on the cat forum. Without people like you, people like me who have a sick cat, would truly be so lost. You all are true blessings. I love you all for being so kind to me and Hissie.
Hissie, I love you so very much. I always will. But, your Momma here wants you to so enjoy being across the Rainbow Bridge. Run, jump, play like you did when young. Chase the butterflies. You are being so missed here by us, but we will be alright I promise. I have nothing but sweet beautiful memories of you. But, it was time for Momma to let you cross the Rainbow Bridge. You have well earned your rest, my darling. I know this may sound silly. But, this is how I always talked to my girl. Just like she was my baby. I can think of no other words right now. This only makes me start crying my heart out. But, I will be ok, my friends. I am just really grieving and so missing my Hissie.

I am deeply sorry to hear of Hissie's passing. She is there with my cats, Ashes, Dinah, and Milo. I know they will welcome Hissie with open paws. She was very loved by you and lucky to have you as a mom.
You can feel happy that you gave Hissie a wonderful life. You must also remember that you will see her again someday. She is chasing birds and climbing trees with all of the other cats there, but she will always be watching for you out of the corner of her eye.
RIP dear Hissie,
Rhea and Stardust!

Dear, Im here crying for you the same way I always do while reading those kind of posts.Hope Hissie enjoy her new friends there...
My first cat(s) is (are) with me for only 2 years and I already worry about the day I will have to say goodbye to them.Everytime they got worms- AGAIN- or so I think to myself - "thank goodness its only that" , my life is a lot messy and I just couldnt imagine losing any of my fur balls.
When Loreena came,she was supposed to be an outdoor and free cat.
Now we are more attached than I think we should, but what can we do?
Cats just came and make a permanent home inside your heart...
Big hug!!

I can feel your pain; it resonates with mine. My heart aches for you.
lynnkay, thank you for sending your sweet Hissie to play with my Fluffy boy, who crossed the Bridge on June 16th.
I know you did the right thing, that I did the right thing, in sending our dear ones on ahead of us so they weren't suffering any longer, no matter how much we wish they didn't have to go. Cherish those memories (as well as the random cat hair that seems to appear from nowhere :o} )

Hey Lynn;
I've been following Hissie's story and know how much love and care you put in to trying to make her feel better. My sympathy and empathy are with you and your husband.
I think the only people I cried harder for than my kitties were my grandmas Margherita and Mary, my grampa Harold, my uncle Michael and my dad Stewart...all family, close to my heart, humans and kitties.
The hurt never, truly goes away, but it is tempered by time and memory of the better times.
May Hissie's journey be swift to that good, green meadow where the sun is warm, the shade is cool and she will never feel hunger or pain again.
take care of yourselves, Hissie will visit.

Oh Lynn they ARE our babies, we love and care and grieve over them in the same way as we would anyone we truly love.
I am so sorry for poor dear HIssie, but she is in a better place now no longer suffering. She knows how you tried your very best for her and how much you loved her, they KNOW that!!............She will always be with you in spirit and like Fluffysmom says there will always be that small little hair just floating in out of nowhere that will show up when least expected............keep her memory alive in your heart, you did do what was best for her and that is the ultimate unselfish act of love.
RIP little HIssie, pass gently to that Rainbow Bridge.
