Monty has crossed the Rainbow Bridge

[Kleiber]

I'm crying as I write this - my wee man died at 10.50h this morning. We've just buried him, next to the summer house, which was his favourite spot. K

Kleiber - I have just read this and I'm crying for you. I really though he was on the mend and I am so, so sorry at your news. I can't offer any words of comfort only to say that my thoughts are with you and I too am sending hugs

Hi Kleiber,

So very sorry to read about your little wee puss.

I've just read the following story in yesterday's newspaper. It cheered me up and I hope it will help a little for you too.

A stowaway cat survived a seven-day journey from Hungary to England in a lorry - and gave birth to two kittens on the way.

Tabby Mia, two, had crawled into the Suzuki factory truck looking for a safe place to give birth.

During the 1,124 mile journey from Ezstergom she had the kittens and the family survived by licking condensation in the vehicle.

They were found when workers at another Suzuki plant in Milton Keynes heard miaowing from the lorry, and Mia leapt out.

Parts-buyer Francesca Robinson took the cats after six months in quarantine - and spent �3,000 on vet bills.

She said: 'I fell in love with them all and knew I'd do whatever it took to take them home'.

What a lovely story - I love to read about folk being kind to animals, it cheers me up no end. Hope this will help to put a wee smile on your face, even if only for a short while.

Luv from chappie.x

So sorry for your loss, klieber, I've always been a dog person myself but dog or cat its never easy to loose your four legged friend especially when they're so young

Kleiber- just read this ad I'd like ot add my sympathies too. I know exactly how heartbreaking it is to lose a beloved pet, especially one so young.

My heart goes out to you, and you know we're all here if you need to vent.

Take care
Boo

My sincerest condolences to you Kleiber.
And may your Puss rest in peace.
Be strong. x

Again, thank you all for your sympathy. Chappie, that was a lovely story - I must admit, I'd have done the same. I'm a complete softie when it comes to cats! I've got 2 dogs as well, and I love them both, but cats have a special place in my heart.
I've just been out for a walk round the farm and I can't believe that Monty has gone - I half expect him to come running up to me, or jump over the drystone wall from the field over the road. He used to love playing by the pond, chasing dragonflies and he'd follow me and the dogs when we went out for our afternoon walk round the fields. K. Jnr has been great - he dug Monty's grave for me, next to the summerhouse, where he used to doze in the sunshine and we've put a big granite slab over it. There's a little statue, too, of a mother cat and her kitten, that used to be by the front door, but I thought it would be fitting on Monty's grave. I've missed him so much this last couple of weeks while he's been at the vet's, snuggling up next to me in bed (he was the only one of the 5 who used to get under the duvet & rest his head on my shoulder & lay there all night with me) and I'm going to miss him even more now. At least he was home with us on Thursday and Friday night. I still can't believe he's gone.

Keliber - my thoughts are with you - its a very painful loss and pets break your heart dont they? Bless them....we love them to bits and its all worth it. Cry as much as you want to ease the pain....
Take it easy on yourself,

So sorry to hear of your loss, it is even more painful when an animal is young. Your little man is now free from pain and chasing the birds in the sky............

I don't know you, but words cannot express. I will look out for your name in future to see how you're doing. I lost mine to Leukaemia years ago and never got over it.

[chappie]

Kleiber, what a smashing life your lovely wee puss had. I looked after a stray cat for many years (turned our coal house into a shelter for her). I can't tell you how much it hurt when I had to have her put to sleep. I still get weepy thinking of her, two years on .......

After she died, my brother said this to me:

"At least she's free from pain now, up in catty heaven". It made me bawl even more, but of course, he was right. My lovely little puss was suffering, and I didn't want that for her.

Thinking of you at this awfully sad time.

Hi Kleiber, so sorry to hear that, they really do become part of the family don't they, I know what a caring person you are and how fond you are of all animals,he is not suffering anymore, he did seem to be getting better so it must have been bit of a shock, hope you are ok, speak to you soon, take care, Ray xx

[pastafreak]

I have just read this Kleiber,and my heart goes out to you, and the tears are welling up in my eyes....it is always dreadful to lose a beloved friend,and worse when they are so young. Wee Monty is now keeping my Cleo company at Rainbow Bridge....xxxx

[lindapinda]

Aww Kleiber,I'd read your updates yesterday,and I was actually thinking about Monty today. I looked on here hoping to hear good news,and I'm so shocked and sad to read this. We lost our Yasmin in February,so,i understand how heart breaking this is.But,you must be in such shock,cos he was just a baby really. I think you were right not to opt for the post mortem,I just wanted to get Yasmin home too.He's got his lovely wee spot in the garden,surrounded by flowers and shrubs and a wee stone cat figure over him. We love them so much,but, it's horrendous when we lose them. All my best and hugs,Linda x

So sorry Kleiber. R.I.P. little Monty. Gelda xxx

[LoftyLottie]

Sad news Kleiber. Shed tears for him but remember him with happiness, knowing he had a short but happy life and was loved and cared for and wanted for nothing.

Much Love
