Cinderella (2002-2010) My little angel

Jeanie · Mar 10, 2010

I'm so glad you have that video, Marie!

Mitts & Tess · Mar 10, 2010

Awww she looks so content and happy! What a sweet girl and so delighted to be in your home & to be your kitty. Did my heart good to see the video. She is now playing just like that at the rainbow bridge waiting for you Marie!

I thought it might make me sad to watch it, but I've watched it three times now, smiling. The sadness hits at strange times, sometimes out of nowhere.

I just today looked at my paperwork from Saturday. My vet didn't charge me for the visit or helping Cinderella to the Rainbow Bridge.

gunterkat · Mar 10, 2010

Your vet not charging you says a lot.

Cinderella is so happy in that video, pouncing around with her fluffy tail held high. :luv Thank you for posing that, Marie! I really needed the smile your vid put on my face.

That's an adorable picture!

I love that video, Marie. Cinderella looked so dignified cat in many of her pictures, so it was fun to see her in full-fledged rocketbutt mode. I especially liked the end when she looked all ready to settle down and be a diva until the twins raced past and set her off again!

Leazie · Mar 10, 2010

I loved when she was in the box and you could just about make out that she had her little butt just a wiggling, ready to go once again.

Boxes. So much more fun than the toys that come in them

Heidi n Q · Mar 10, 2010

Ha! :lol: I really liked the I'm-just-gonna-stand-here-casually-waving-my-tail in between rocket-butt episodes. :mrgreen:

I think if we ever get a camcorder we're gonna frighten a lot of peeps with our videos of the kitties playing. Everyone's vids are so quiet ... and me and Hubby will yell out "Woo-Woo's!" and "Zip-zip-zip-zoooooms!" and "Go Go Go BooBooBalooooooooou!" I also tend to run around with the kitties, too ... letting them chase me up/down the hall.
I guess *I* am an interactive cat toy, myself. 8O

OctoberinMaine · Mar 10, 2010

That video is fantastic.

KittyMonster · Mar 10, 2010

Marie, I am deeply sorry for your loss and I am glad Cinderella's passing was as calm and beautiful as it was... Such a dignified lady deserved that kind of treatment.

I think your attitude towards this whole situation is really admirable. I have no doubt that your positive attitude is greatly effecting how your cats are dealing with this new situation, and helping them through the change.

100% agree, you've been amazing.

gunterkat · Mar 10, 2010

I don't yell, but sometimes I'm an interactive cat toy, too :lol: :kittyball

not as much as I'd really like, these days. But ir's fun chasing and being chased sometimes

Marie, are you a big interactive cat toy for your girls? :wink

Cinderella loved it when I would "walk the living room" with her. She would meow and I would get on all fours and just follow her around the room, and she would purr and purr.

Our house is usually pretty quiet. I usually don't even speak in my regular speaking voice, which isn't loud to begin with. But I yelled a couple nights ago. I got home from work and there was a hairball on my blanket and some hairball soup in a couple other spots, like my nightie. I really let loose. The cats weren't in my room when I lost it (I never yell at them), and I knew I was upset because Cinderella was gone, not because of my bed.

See? I'm not amazing or admirable. I'm mad, and angry and sad, and I think it's unfair and I miss my little girl. And if I had one of Jeanie's wishes, I would want to go to the Rainbow Bridge, just to see Cinderella happy, then come back to my three little long-haired, hairball-expelling kids.

bluemilk · Mar 11, 2010

You're very noble,Marie.

This made me laugh. I'm going to have to start calling Lucky's hairball surprises "hairball soup" from now on. :lol:

That's part of the grieving process- the hardest part too. Some day, you will be able to remember her and just be happy for the memories. It takes a long time. I can now smile when I think about some of the funny things Lil'Fella used to do... but if I think about him too long at least a few tears always end up coming, and it's been more than 4 months since he passed. But that's the price we pay for love I guess... loss.

Hang in there Marie, we're all here for you

I received a beautiful card from my vet's office today. They not only took the time to sign it, every person wrote a personal note.

I'm dropping off the unused meds tomorrow so someone else who can't really afford it can use them, especially the componded prenisolone, which has about 25 doses left. And my girls definitely do NOT need the appetite stimulant. 8O

gunterkat · Mar 12, 2010

Marie, your vets and rheir staff are Amazing!

prayers and healing thoughts, along with very polite, respectful requests to the kitty guardian angels, continue
:angel

Huge2 · Mar 12, 2010
