Tomorrow is Cinders' birthday.
Yesterday Cinders decided she had enough and joined her brother, cross-eyed Cookie.
She's 18.
We thank all who sent prayers, wishes and purrs. Special thanks to Ann of Zoolatry who did this lovely graphic.
With much love,

We think Katnip Lounge said it all.... Mom is crying, but we all know that Cinders is once again the Cinders she was and is certainly enjoying sight and feeling good over there on the other side of the bridge. Yes, Cinders, we do love you and we look forward to seeing you when the rest of us join you...not all at once though, you understand! Purrs to your family, for they are now in the sad place where they must live with the big empty space that you left behind...a space that we all know too well and regret, but also know that it is part of life.

We wish your new little angel, Cinders, a Happy Birthday at the Bridge. While the pain of loss is so fresh, we know you will not feel like celebrating. Try to imagine your dear one happily chasing butterflies in the sunshine with her brofur, Cookie. She is happy because she knows you will not forever be separated; you will come for her in time. Comforting purrs.

That's very sad and it is so hard to say good bye forever, but she had a happy time in her last years thanks to you ! It is better to let them go when the time has come insisting would be very egoistic.
I know how you feel. I went through it several times. At least they stay forever in your heart.
We're so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you gave Cinders a wonderful life with lots of love before she had to leave you.
