Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

Aw, sorry to hear that, Atom.

I just growled at my cat for annoying me while I did my teeth, but now I have to go give him a pat and a scratch.

Thanks all. Nice words, Urby, also means a lot to me.

I know how you feel, I've been through this with at least 5 animals close to me, sorry about your loss.

Ricky

Condolences.

Thank you. Yeah, I'm pretty sad. At least she has a smile on her face.

I've seen two of my cats pass away, and another leave the house for good. I miss them sometimes.

You have my condolences, atom

Poor kitty :<

Yes it's very sad.
We dug a hole in the back garden where she gets her final resting place. All we need are some stones to place around it and a plant/shrub.

Aww, I have lost one of my three cats and he now rests in the garden. It does hurt when they go, even more so when it's as premature as mine was. Shame life has to end especially when it's someone close. Feel sorry for you Atom.

R.I.P. Atom's 'little rascal'

Thanks Moaby. We just buried her, couldn't maintain my tears, but i guess it's alright now.
