Farewell, My Friends



Dear Friends,





Halloween went to the Rainbow Bridge this morning. She was home with us for two days. On Thursday and Friday, she was very quiet, and did not seem to be in pain. She ate a tiny bit of baby food - thanks for that advice - and some vanilla ice cream. But that was it. She wouldn't drink any water. She went to the back door several times, so we took her out on the deck and into the back yard where she could see her trees and garden, the domain over which she presided, for 17-1/2 very happy years. She looked at all of it with great interest and also threw one last despising glance at Slinky. Slinky the Interloper Cat responded by coming and sitting on the back deck yesterday morning. I don't know if he was trying to be supportive in Halloween's last hours, or scheming about his future plans!





I slept on the couch with her these last several nights, where she was on her heaty pad. Last night, I woke up and found her under the kitchen table. That's her safe place - where she went when she did not want to be bothered. This morning she got very sick and cried when I picked her up. She cried several more times and that was it. The vet came to our house and put Halloween to sleep while we petted her and talked to her. We are so very, very sad.





We want to thank all of the wonderful people and kitties who sent us purrs and prayers this last week. We read them all to Halloween. It meant so much to us to know that you all shared our love, concern and sorrow. Halloween was a very sweet kitty, and she was particularly devoted to me, her Food Lady. I still remember the day I saw her feral mama push her away when she tried to eat along with her feral littermates. From then on, she was ours. She loved me very much and comforted me and the Food Dude many times over the years. She was the best companion imaginable.





I want to thank every single one of you for the love and kindness we've found on the CB. What a remarkable group of people and cats!



A special thanks to these cats and their people, for all your friendship and kindness since we started posting:



Thanks to Beezer and Milton for being such good friends to me, and especially helping the Tech Dunce Food Lady to figure out how to actually do the linkie thingie - even though it took several years for her to figure it out! The kitties waved to each other across the hills of San Francisco, and their mama beans were able to spend time together and became friends.



Thanks to the cats of the North Woods in Canada, Wisconsin, Michigan and upstate New York, whose pictures of their places in the woods reminded the Food Lady of the places where she grew up. You have all been great and kind friends, and always there with kind words and support. We cannot thank you enough. These kitties and beans would be: Mickey, Georgia and Tillie, Goldie, Shade and Banshee, the Island Cats, Zippy, Sadie and Speedy, and the Meezers and Billy Sweetfeets.



Thanks to the Ohio kitties who also were such good CB friends, and gave helpful advice and support on many occasions: Parker and Family, and Mr. Hendrix.


Thanks to the grate Jeter Harris and his mom for coming to visit us and bringing flat Jeter across the continent. The evening with all the CB folks was wonderful, and meeting Jeter's mom was wonderful too. Thanks for all the love and good wishes.


And last but certainly not least, thanks to Skeezix and my love, Rocky the Gutter Cat, and their Food Lady and Mr. Tasty Face (who is indeed very tasty!) because without them, Halloween wouldn't have had a blog to begin with. They have given us lots of help and advice, and shoulders to cry on in these last few days.

Thanks to all the folks and kitties who make the CB work every day. You've sent emails, made badges for the blogs, kept the kitties up to date about Halloween's progress, and have been so helpful and kind.

We will keep track of you and stop in to say hello from time to time.

One final note: Amazingly, I've noticed a feral calico in the neighborhood recently. She just walked up on the deck to take a look at Halloween's nip plant. She's VERY PREGNANT! Hmmmm......

We loved Halloween so much. Thanks for making her life and our lives better.

Bless you for doing all that you did for dear Halloween. I've been praying so hard for her and your family.
She'll make an absolutely wonderful little angel.

The Island Cats said...

Oh, we are so sad to hear about Halloween...our eyes are leaking. We are happy that we got to know her...she was a special kitty. Food Lady, we hope you can find some comfort in the fact that she is not suffering anymore...and is running free and happy at the Bridge with all the ones that have come before like our Bogart and Scooter. We send you comforting headbutts and purrs to help you all through this sad time...

Noir the Texas Tabby said...

My family and I are sad to hear about Halloween. Even tho, Halloween was sad to leave you, another angel was needed. I like how she saw her garden one more time--and it's a comfort to know, Halloween will there every minute of every day--to watch over YOU.

Now, at night, when all is quiet, you will hear a familiar purr...

We have been thinking about you and hoped you would come home for your final days, you were a loved kitty and we wish you luck as you go on your journey.

KC and the Giggleman Kitties said...

I'm so sad to read this, sweet Halloween at the Bridge, but at least she is no longer suffering. She is running, happy and free, with all of Those Who Came Before. And we are left with a big Halloween-shaped hole in our hearts.
Eventually, they say, the happy memories will almost fill that hole.
We are so grateful to have known her, for your sharing her with all of us in the Cat Blogosphere.
We are sending you purrs and purrayers to comfort you.
Love & Purrs,
KC and Missy Blue Eyes and Faith Boomerang and Sol and Smokey and BJ and Mommy ML

We are so sorry that Halloween had to go over the bridge. But like everyone else said, she will find lots of friends up there and feel great and be able to run around all over the place. The food lady and food dad sure did give her a good home and we are so glad you let her come home for her final days. Thinking about you and your loss.

We are sad that Halloween had to go over the Bridge. Take comfort knowing that she is without pain and running carefree with her friends who went before, and that she was able to spend her last days in her own home which she loved and where she knew unconditional love.

We only just met Halloween and now she is gone, flying free. But our mewmie said your tribute to her and having the strength to tell us her story while your hearts are breaking, was very very moving to her. She is a vet tech and she knows all you went through to do the best for Halloween and we know she knew how loved she was, and will be, to you forever.

Our hearts are aching for you tonight and we send healing purrs to you...

17 and a half years. Halloween was an absolutely beautiful girl and she had the very best life.
We are positively certain that our Caesar and Princess were there at the front of the crowd to welcome her.

I am so glad that your vet came to your home. Ours also offered to come to Princess and help her if necessary but she was comfortable. This is all we want, to give them the most gentle passing to Rainbow Bridge. They have given us so much

We will be praying for all of you.
It has been quite a week. Rest your hearts. You are in our thoughts and loved

I's so verry sad. I knows that Miss Halloween was a very inpurrtant kitty.

Mine own foodlady told me that she and Beezer, who came before, were good friends and would wave at each other across town.
I knows that Beezer was waving her across the bridge, so she wouldn't be scarred. and she have a good friend to meet her.

I gots ta go mine foodlady has leaky eyes and I has to go give her purrs and lick them all away.

Purrs to the Halloween's good people.

We are saddened to read of Halloween's trip to Rainbow Bridge. Our Large One just added the kitty tool bar from Melivin's place this evening and read all about the sadness in your family. Buddy Bear, MikiCato, Smokey, Tegar, Spooky and Rowdy send their best wishes for Halloween's trip, and hope that the memories will soothe the hurts and the pains you have for her passing.

If I may, I'm thinking maybe the little pregnant kitty that was on the porch just might be sent there for to help soothe the loss.

I am so very sorry that Halloween had to go to the Rainbow Bridge. She had a long and wonderful life with you and felt your love every day. I think she must have sent the pregnant calico your way.

Kaz's Cats said...

We're so sorry that the Rainbow Bridge need such a beautiful kitty like Halloween. It's been hard to type this through our tears, and we never actually met Halloween in purrson...we can't imagine how hard it is for you both, dear Food Lady and Food Dude. It was so nice that Halloween got to go outside to see her territory (and Slinky hehehehe) after all the guarding and patrolling that she's done over the years. It is like she's sent another kitty to look after you both now that she had to move on. It's okay to be sad that she's gone, but please try to remember all of the good times, especially in the midst of your pain.

We're all so very very sorry to hear. It brought back all sorts of memories about Scampie, and how we felt in her last days. so we really feel for you right now.

I remember a kind of relief when Scampie went to the bridge, and I really felt that I wasn't crying because she was going to leave me, I was crying because she was in pain. When she went, I actually found it a lot easier to cope.

Halloween is now totally cured, and young and healthy! She's loving her new life, and I hope she says hai to Scampie too.

With lots of love from
Chris, Anna, Freya, and Teego.
