Oh Sweet Natalie,

Indeed Tonka was such a fortunate kitty to have a loving home and a mommy who loved him. So many do not, and I am sure he would want you to give that to another fur baby needing the same. I understand about needing to have a kitty around.

Here is a poem I like, I hope it will bring you a bit of comfort.
I truly believe our loving pets are waiting for us on the other side.

Beyond The Pearly Gates

She'd been with you for many years,
her loyalty did show.
You loved her and she loved you back,
until she had to go.

You found him as a lonely stray,
you gave him lots of care.
His grateful love had known no bounds,
until he wasn't there.

You miss her shaggy golden head
Or striped or spotted back,
your dear companion cat or dog
whose love you'd never lack.

Do not despair for they'll be there,
when your time's at the end.
There just beyond the Pearly Gates,
awaits your furry friend.

"Amalthea Celebras"
29th June 1996

Thank you again....and thank you for the poem frugal gal. That is a lovely one.

We went to a couple of shelters.... I did find a couple of good candidates to take Tonka's place....but can't commit just yet.... I'm going to still look for a bit.

I know another one is out there for me, I just need some time.

Natalie I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Time will heal some of the sorrow and then allow you to remember all the good times with your precious kitty. Tonka will always be in your heart and you will know when the time is right to let another in...

Natalie I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost mine about a year ago. I am still sad about it. I too buried mine in a space in my garden where she loved to be. They aren't just pets they are family. They are just like our children. I will say prayers for you. Cry all you need.
