Sunday Selfies: Week #121
The past few days have been very difficult with too many losses, sadness and tears. It is with a heavy heart that I add to it.
Rest In Peace
March 18, 2010 – December 1, 2016
My beautiful sisfur, Fiona, got her angel wings at 9:55 p.m. on Thursday, December 1. I held back telling everyone, as Kitties Blue didn’t want to spoil Sammy’s Come Fly With Me adventure or the tribute post we had planned for him.
After 11 months of treatment for CKD, Fiona was very frail and weak. She spent her last day snuggling and cuddling with Mom and Dad and went to her new life lying on Mom’s chest.
When we posted the poem for Fiona on Thursday, many of you surmised that her time with us was coming to an end and indeed it was. We just didn’t expect it to be that day. If you missed that poem, entitled, “You,” it is now on our sidebar.
I am not going to write anymore about my sisfur today. Mom has promised me that over the next several weeks (or months) I will be able to tell you stories about Fiona and share additional photos. However, I do have two photos I want to share here. The first photo is from Fiona’s and my Gotcha Day on May 8, 2010. The second photo was taken on her last day with us.
After so many days of sadness and turmoil, Mom has decided not to decorate for Christmas. We think it would cheer her up, but she says her heart just isn’t in it. We are all pretty perturbed. One of our favorite pastimes during the holidays is to watch the electric meter dial spin around, like a ballerina in a production of The Nutcracker, when the lights are turned on. She has, however, promised to hang all our stockings from the mantel so Santa Paws knows where to find us. And we will have a Christmas card. In fact, it features Fiona in a gorgeous graphic Nellie‘s mom, Barb, created for us. Mom promises to share that very soon.
I do want to share this lovely card/badge Sammy‘s mom, Pam, made. It was so kind and generous of her. We love it, and we know Fiona would as well.
We are super thankful that Sammy and Fiona could go to the Bridge together. It’s always nice to have a friend to hold your paw when you begin a new adventure.
Mom and Dad are so thankful they were able to take Fiona to the Blessing of the Animals a couple of weeks ago. And they, as well as all the Kitties Blue and I appreciate all the support, purrs and prayers and best wishes you have sent Fiona over the past 11 months. We know each and every one of those extended her life.
Now it’s time to hop. We hope lots and lots of you will join us. The link is below as is the code if you’d like to include the hop on your Sunday Selfies post. If you don’t post on Sundays, you are still welcome to join the hop. And it remains open each week through Thursday.
Thank you for stopping in today. We love all our blogging friends.
Purrs and paw-pats, Giulietta
I offer my condolences at this time. Purrs to your family.
Hugs and Purrs for your loss, it is so hard when we lose a furfriend.
Fiona is gone but will not be forgotten!!
Such beautiful kitty, stay strong!
Congrats on being featured on Create With Joy this week!
Kind regards, Karren
Dear Janet,
I am SO sad to hear of the loss of your beloved Fiona. I feel like I’ve been on this journey with you.
I lost my beloved Sampson several years ago right after Christmas so I know how particularly difficult it is to say goodbye to a cherished pet during this time of year.
I know there is little that we can do to soften your sorrow, but it helps to know that there are people who love and care for you and Fiona. To honor the two of you, we are celebrating you as our Friend Of The Week at Create With Joy (Week 254) as a small token of our friendship and the joy the two of you (and the rest of your feline family) have brought into your lives.
Sending you much love, hugs and paw-kisses!

I just saw this and am so very sorry. I know only too well – I lost three cats in December – Joey in 2012, Yoko in 2013 and Georgie in 2015. I did put a tree up all those years even tho my heart wasn’t in it. In 2013 it was for Yoko because I knew she would be leaving us soon and she always loved the tree. She would sit on a chair next to it just staring a the lit tree for so long. My heart goes out to you in your loss of Fiona. She was not with you long enough. Sending you love and healing Reiki light.
Very sad news – sending gentle purrs of comfort and consolation to all of you. Rest in Peace, dear Fiona.
Purrs … Rainbow
So sorry for your loss, even though we know that they will leave us in the end, we are never fully prepared and it hurts like crazy! We are in tears reading about this. What a peaceful passing it must have been to spend her last breath in your arms surrounded by love.
We are so very sorry to hear about Fiona.
We are sending you lots and lots of love and big Noodle hugs…
Noodle and crew
I am so very sorry about Fiona. It is so hard to lose a loved one.
Deep rumbly purrs of healing and condolence.
Farewell to Fiona, she was much loved in her short life. She will live on in your hearts.
I’m here to pay my respects to Fiona and to send comforting purrz to those she left behind. *wipes tears and bows head* Please know I am thinking of you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Angel Fiona was a pretty kitty.
Such a series of losses we are experiencing, each a terrible event, each the passing of someone unique. I can understand your mum’s reluctance to decorate for Christmas. It will be a sad holiday there. Fiona was clearly loved and will be just as clearly missed. Godspeed, Fiona.
Sunday Selfie buddy Basil has done a lovely Mandala and mentioned Fiona….

Janet and Kitties Blue,
Just heard the sad news about Fiona and sending deep condolences for your loss. Your beautiful poem says it all and she will be sorely missed. I understand not wanting to put up a tree this year. It’s hard grieving when everyone is supposed to be cheery. Do what feeds you soul and take good care (((Hugs)) and soft purrs of comfort,
Layla, Clyde Domino, Odin, Nou Nou and the Angels
Oh no, we don’t quite believe this sad and unexpected news…our hearts go out to you Mom Janet and to sweet Giulietta as we can only imagine how she will grieve the loss of her sweet sister Fiona. Fiona will always have a special place in my heart as my special Ladycat friend and I will miss her so. We send you all our gentlest purrs and wrap all of you in light and love as you grieve the loss of your precious Fiona. Much love to you all.
Clooney, Neytiri & Mom Karyn
Be Well Sweet Fiona
Oh Janet… I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet girl, Fiona. What a blessing she was to you and you to her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sending you love and comfort,
Glogirly
Oh, dear, sweet Fiona, we are going to miss you so much, but promise you will have a great new adventure and will see many new and old friends. Run fast and fly free, sweetheart.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We send our love and purrs to help ease your sadness.
So sorry to hear about Fiona. She had a wonderful life with you, full of love and caring, even if it was shorter than you would have wanted. Sending you purrs and love.
—Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats
I’m so deeply sorry to read this news about your beautiful Fiona. Your tribute and poem are so loving. Hugs to you.
Oh dear, we are so sorry to hear about Fiona’s running to the bridge. We are so sad almost crying reading this. Hugs to the humans and purrs to the kitties. We are sending you our very best in this tough time. We love all of you.
We are so sorry that sweet Fiona crossed the Bridge.
It is much more sad when a kitty is so young.
She did have company on her trip as our old boy Treasure crossed over that day as well.
Nice to know they had each other.
We can understand you feeling sad now.
It’s just not fair for a young kitty to pass.
We send our heartfelt comforting purrs.
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
There aren’t enough appropriate words to help ease your pain right now. Just know we’re out here and care.
So sad to hear of Fiona’s passing. Did not think it would be so soon. We never have them long enough. Cherish the memories
I am so sorry and extend my deepest condolences. I know the hurt is deep
and seems unbearable. May you get some comfort in knowing that you gave Fiona a good and loving home. Fly free at the Bridge, sweet Fiona.
Please add all of us to those who are sending you special thoughts in your loss of sweet Fiona. It was a very sad week for some of our blogging furriends.
I’m sure Sammy was glad to have Fiona there to welcome him as he crossed the Bridge.
Love, Sundae, Gypsy and our pawrents
Tears and prayers to all of you.
Oh no! I’m so sad for you. Sending big hugs and westie kisses.
We’re so sorry for your loss. Sending purrs and hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Fiona was an adorable kitten and a beautiful lady cat. It’s so difficult to lose a pet, and especially hard to lose one so young.From your poem, it’s clear that you feel you were both fortunate to have shared each other’s lives. I wish it could have been for longer.
We commented earlier, but we wanted to come back to give you this memento in honor of your dear precious Fiona.

Purrs and big hugs.
I feel awful that I didn’t hear the news til this morning. I am so deeply, deeply sorry. Fiona fought a valiant fight. She was just much too young to leave us. My heart is heavy for you. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. So deeply, deeply sorry. (((hugs))))
I’m sure that you are the most beautiful bluemistygrey kitty angel at the Bridge, Fiona! Please, show your gracefulness in a soothing dream to your mom and dad soon!
I am so very sorry about the loss of Fiona. It has been a very sad week indeed. It must have been difficult for you to spend time honoring Sammy while you were going through the same difficult time as Sammy’s mom.
Hugs and Purrz fur you and sweet Fiona… CKD is hard – my mother’s cat has CKD – we know what that’s like… Thank you for sharing her sweet kitten photo and her last day. She knew so much loves – you were her blessing as much as she was yours…
Missing her with you, Katie Kat and the Katz Gang.
We are so sorry ’bout Fiona. We’re also sorry you felt you should hold back her passing. We are glad you were able to have so many wonderful moments with her. She will be missed, but will always be a pawrt of all our lives as she will live on in our memories and hearts. We hate dat CKD!!! It takes too many too soon. We’re sendin’ lots of hugs and purrayers to all.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
I am so sorry for your loss. Fiona was so loved. Travel well little one…
I’m in tears as well. I was thinking a lot of Fiona the day you posted the poem. I’m glad you were there, with her, when she died. She was a very loved cat, and she was warm and close to you when she left. I’m so very sorry for your loss – and even though you know that this would happen, you’re never fully prepared for a love one to go.
Our thoughts are with you.
We did catch the hint about Fiona in the poem but we had no idea she left on the same day as Sammy did. We admire your courage for Sammy’s big day, but we cry for you grieving alone. We are so sorry it came Fiona’s time to leave.
Last Christmas was our worst ever as Sam was so ill and Jan has no desire to even hang the wreath on the door this year. We send a warm hug!
Our hearts are breaking for you, Fiona’s wonderful family. Our furbabies are like children to us, so losing one to the bridge is devastating. We are so very sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful girl, who fought very hard to try to eradicate her disease. She is in a better place now and free of pain. Fly high and free Fiona!
We linked up this week. I hope you don’t mind that we dedicated ours to Sweet Fiona. We added her Forever button to the sidebar. I know you are hurting; we understand. We send you much love. Always.
Love, hugs, and prayers to your family and friends of Fiona. I am so sad to hear that she has left for the bridge. I know you fought a long time with not feeling well and now you are free from hurt and pain. It is not good bye it is until we meet again. <3
We are heartbroken to have the Bridger take so many so fast. You know we are partial to Russian blues and Fiona has our hearts as well. The poem is simple and heart rending. Our apologies we didn’t join the hop today. Mom couldn’t stop crying to do the memorial she want d for Easy. We will post on Monday in honor of Easy’ s famous MoanDay blog post. We are still moaning over his loss, then Sammy and now Fiona. Purrs and paw pats, Savannah and Mom
Incredibly sorry to hear the news. I felt especially heartbroken as I lost my little Biltong (http://hairballsandhissyfits.com/rip-biltong-the-cat-very-loved-and-dearly-missed/) before he turned 3 to kidney disease. It is devastating. You were both lucky for the time you both had together. I hope you get lots of love and support during this time. We are all thinking of you and Frodo, Zulu and even Amarula send you big hugs.
I am very sorry to hear about Fiona’s passing. However, there is a silver lining because her spirit/soul is free of the ill body, so she is now able to fly free and become another guardian angel for blogville.
I pray that you will have a wonderful week.
We are so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Fiona, such a beautiful girl. Our hearts are heavy and we are sending Lhasa hugs and Shi Tzu snuggles your way…
Dear Kitties Blue tears flow again today for you all. We love you and are sending you gentle purrs, soft woofs and lots of love from Mom and all of us to help you through this sad time.
Luvs
Marty, Mom and the Gang
What a huge hole that beautiful tiny girl has left. We grieve with you all.
Run free sweet Fiona. Sending much love and hugs to you all xx
We are so very sorry that Fiona has crossed over. She is now healthy and running free with all of those who have crossed The Bridge. Many hugs and purrs and purrayers during this very difficult time from all of us at Forty Paws.
I’m so sorry to hear about Fiona. So many tears this week. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Those are beautiful pictures of Fiona.
OMG! So sorry to hear this news, Janet. Purrs and Prayers to you and your family. Too many gone this week…
Much love from us. We know our crew was there at the gate.
There are truly no words that will take away your pain from the loss of one so dear that it rents open the heart. But that rent is healed by all the fond memories, and love of those that are here now, beside you and for you all at this time. May the tears wash away the sorrow and show you the true joy and love that was and always will be between you and Fiona. Our deepest condolences to you all. gentle purrs Erin
I didn’t think I had anymore tears left after this past week but I do. I am so deeply sorry about Fiona and I fully understand the sadness in your heart. We all share it with you, and I know you know we are all here lifting you with prayers and the kittens with purrs. At times like these, I know words are of little comfort for how could they? This is what is felt to the debts of ones core. The time is never enough but Fiona’s was more limited but I always believe the amount of Grief is commensurate to the amount of love, and by that I can see she was deeply deeply loved. She will be as deeply missed but she is with so many who have gone before and I hope you do believe as I do that she will be there waiting for you. ((HUGS))
Godspeed your journey to heaven Fiona; we are truly sorry. We send our sincerest sympathy
to your mom and dad as well as hugs and love to them and your entire family ♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️

Janet and all the Kitties Blue,
We are so sorry to hear about Fiona. It’s hard for those of us on earth to let go of our fur people. We know Fiona doesn’t have pain now and is probably dancing all over the place with Sammy, Shakespeare and others. Mom’s praying that all your other kitties will provide lots of love and comfort and that before long the smiles and laughter will take over again. When Mom lost Shakespeare, there was so much wonderful support from the blog world and we know that you will also get that support. We are sending lots of purrs and hugs your way.
Love……….Hemingway, Steinbeck and Pam
We are so, so sorry about this sad news about Fiona. She had the best life and the absolute best care any cat could want there with the Blue family. Lots of love and purrs to all of you. <3

Oh this is so sad! We guessed that Fiona didn’t have long, but in this very heartbreaking week all we can do is weep along with our friends who have lost loved ones! Run free sweet Fiona! ❤️❤️❤️
Giulietta we know that today you are speaking not just for yourself but for your family also. Their love of Fiona is coming through loud and clear and we here at the Tomcat Home sent our support to you all. We are so glad she was able to be with Mom when she ran over the bridge. Thank you for letting us be a part of your and Fiona’s life.
Purrs and Prayers of Support
Timmy, Dad Pete and Family
I am so very sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Fiona very well, but I certainly felt your love for her and her love for you in all your posts. I am glad her passing was peaceful. Sending you much love and support across the miles. Run free, sweet Fiona.
Big hugs to you to help heal your heart. May Fiona be gently guided to the bridge to run and play with all the other beautiful, wonderful souls that have gone before her. There’s a big reunion party going on fur sure!
We’re so sorry to hear about Fiona. What an awful week, we’re in tears, so many good friends are already gone, and now sweet Fiona… We send you and your pawrents comforting purrs and gentle headbonks. Purrs and hugs
Sorry for your loss. Sending comforting thoughts.
I am so sorry for the loss of beautiful Fiona. I know there are no words of comfort. I am glad you got to be holding her as she left this world, I am sure that is what she wanted. My heart breaks for you. Love and hugs to you all.
We are so very sorry to hear the news about Fiona. We knew that she wasn’t doing well but it doesn’t make it any easier. Too many of our furiends have left this week…the sorrow is overflowing. We send you all lots of comforting purrs. We wish there was more we could do to help your heavy heart. *tears*
The mom understands about not wanting to decorate. With Wally’s illness, though he seems to be doing better, she hasn’t had much heart in decorating this year either. Though she will do some…she’s really cutting back.
Fiona was the first cat in the wider blogosphere that we fell in love with when we discovered the CB through your Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. There’s something about her … the look in her eyes … her beauty that goes way beyond her gorgeous silver fur … it tugs at your heart and makes you listen. And then to watch her fight and fight for months … she was truly one of a kind. My heart breaks at the loss of such a beautiful spirit. My heart breaks for all of you that must learn to go on with out her. I am so very sorry. I know the hole is huge and the pain unbearable. Bear and I send our love and hope for healing as best as one can in the face of such tremendous loss. You are not alone in your pain.
I am so so sorry about sweet Fiona ! She will sure have lots of friends to romp with over the Bridge !
We are so sorry to your whole family for the loss of your Fiona. She was too young, and it seems so unfair!
There was too much loss this week, and we’re also sorry that you felt you had to hold back sharing about Fiona. That was very kind of you to do that for Sammy.
Please accept our big hugs and our tears for Fiona. May she run free and healthy at the Bridge. ♥xo
Oh gosh, we are so so sorry about Fiona. That is just too sad. Just know that she knew lots of love while she was with you. Sending lots of hugs to all of you and purrs too.
Oh…this is such sad news and I am so very sorry. My heart goes out to you and yours and may your darling Fiona be at peace.
Purrs from Deb and the Zee/Zoey gang
We send you all our love and many, many purrs and hugs. It sure didn’t take us long to fall in love with your dear Fiona. Run free beautiful girl and watch over those you left behind.
Words are so hard right now! What a sweet and beautiful kitty was Fiona and we are so sorry to hear of her angel-hood. Although we’re sure she new she had “heaven on earth” with you, now she has gone to the real heaven to be free of suffering. Sending much love to you and your family, Janet and purrs to your angel.
Oh no, I am so sorry. She was only 6 years old, but you made the most of the time you had with her. There’s still time to think about putting up a few decorations, though you probably don’t want to face that right now.
Sending loves and hugs.
The pain of losing sweet Fiona is so overwhelming but you know that she is young and healthy and free of HER pain now. Fiona put up a great fight and we know she didn’t want to go but knew it was time. We’re sending soft, healing purrs and prayers to you as you go through this difficult time. Allie was glad to see the blanket she gave Mau gave Fiona some comfort. We hope you DO celebrate Christmas and know that Fiona will be there watching you and purring with you.
(((hugs) The Florida Furkids and Mom Sharon with extra special comforting hugs and kisses for Mau from his WIFE Allie.
I am so sorry for your loss. Fiona was beautiful and she will know she was loved to the end. RIP beautiful girl. Prayers for all during this difficult time.
Dear me…we are so very sorry to read about Fiona…
Ann made a lovely badge and we have put up a post on POTP
Indeed the sadness is heavy this week. Sammy was surely waiting for Fiona…

Hugs madi and mom
I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Farewell, beautiful.
I’m so sorry. I pray God bless you at this difficult time.
What sad news…I know what it is to nurse a beloved kitty through failing health, and nothing quite prepares you for the empty feeling at the end. Sending you purrs, prayers, and healing thoughts.
Thinking of you with sorrow and sympathy, but also gratitude that you and Fiona had such a wonderful life together. Sweet girl, we will all miss you.
Love from Maggie, Mickey Mouser and Rufus the Red
Janet, Tom, and all the Kitties Blue, our thoughts and hearts are with you. Although I wish it could, I know that nothing I say can heal the hurt you are feeling. Please never forget, though, that Fiona knew nothing but love and happiness in her life with you. Because of you, her time on this earth, although far too short, was the best and most wonderful a kitty could ever ask for. And she will never forget that. Fiona will be with you always.
We are very sorry for the loss of Fiona. We loved her and will miss her beautiful face and presence on your blog. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
Run free at the Rainbow Bridge dearest sweet Fiona.
We’re very sorry for your loss, Fiona was a special kitty. Sending hugs and purrs from our family to your.
Tears fill my eyes as I learn of little Fiona’s crossing. My heart goes out to you and her little brofurs and sisfurs. I am so sorry.
Mom and I are so very sad that sweet little brave Fiona lost her battle. She really did fight hard to stay but in the end, it was just her time for a well earned rest. You know that she left first and when I got to the Bridge Friday morning, there she was…..smiling brightly, shining furs, big beautiful eyes and with a big “Welcome” which I so sorely needed. Behind her was Easy….and then more and more faces of those who had gone before. Fiona hopes you all will try to celebrate Christmas as she and her sisters and big brother Mau love the sparkle and glitter and boxes – she will be there with you all in spirit for Christmas AND forever and ever. We send you special hugs today and every day……
Hugs, Angel Sammy
We are so very deeply sorry to hear about Fiona’s passing. We knew it was coming, but when we just entered our link, it came as a shock again. We have had no day without tears this week and do so understand that you don’t feel like Christmas. Granny and I think that God needed Three Musketeer Angels in heaven…well, that doesn’t make it easier…I know :'( Soft Pawkisses to comfort you all <3 <3 <3
Oh no, I am so sorry. I could tell from your beautiful heartfelt poem for Fiona that her time was very close but hoped she could stay longer. Although her life was too short it was filled with love. My thoughts are with you.
So sorry you lost your beautiful girl. We are feeling so very sad and Mum has tears in her eyes. We understand why you don’t feel like celebrating Christmas right now.
Let’s hope Sammy and Fiona are together now and playing happily over the Bridge.
We hope you get this comment because for the last couple of times we posted it hasn’t shown up in your comments. We don’t want you to think we’ve forgotten you and haven’t been commenting. Yours is one of our fave blogs and we would never stop visiting and commenting.
Purrs, love and hugs,
Athena and Marie xx
I’m so sorry to read this sad news about Fiona. A lot of my dear friends lost their beloved pet lately. These are very hard and painful days.
I’m sure Fiona is in a very good and pleasant place right now in the company of so many beloved friends. Wishing you lots of strength, Janet.
I am so sorry for your loss. It has been a hard week and a hard year for the pet blogging community. My heart is truly breaking for all of you. I know that there is no way to make you feel netter right now, but I will be praying for you. *hugs* Fiona is a beautiful girl- precious and loved forever. I’m sure my Cinco greeted her when she arrived at the Bridge.
We’re so sorry to hear about Fiona and all of the other special kitties that left for the bridge this week. Mom Paula hasn’t put up a Christmas tree since Sweet Praline left for the bridge 5 years ago.
We are so sorry for your loss. RIP darling kitten. Xx SoPurrfect
I am so sorry about Fiona… but you are right, I did gather her time had come. And my human at this point has a 6th sense about CRF kitties. I’m sending lots of purrs to you and your family at this sad, sad time.
Oh man….mummy is crying again…. this week has been a hard on everyone,mummy said the rainbow bridge need to close its gate until after christmas.She also said your mummy should at least have one tree up even if she doesn’t do the rest,it will make everyone feel a little better,xx Speedy and Rachel
We are just devastated for you! It’s never easy, even when you are expecting it.
Sending lots of love and purrs of comfort your way.
XOXO
Janet, we are so sad to hear that you had to say good-bye to your beloved Fiona. How fortunate that she was able to be with you in the last moments of her life ; to be held and surrounded by your love for her. We know she was well loved and well taken care of and that she had the best possible family and life here on earth a little kitty could ever ask for. Rest in peace, Fiona. You were loved by many. We are sending you our love and many hugs , Janet.
Love,
Sophie and the critters in the cottage xo
We’re so very sorry that Fiona had to go to the bridge. Our hearts are hurting and our eyes are leaky. Our thoughts and purrs are with you. Sending hugs too.
Oh, dear sweet tiny Fiona, we will miss your sweet face and spirit. You didn’t have a long life, but it was really a good one with your ‘real’ sisfur and all your other sisters and Mau, and your wonderful pawrents. Your life was full of love, given and received, right up till you slipped from your Mom’s loving arms right over that Bridge, paw in paw with sweet Handsome Sammy. Your People will be sad for a good long while, but we think all your siblings will pile on and bring them comfort, and *maybe* even convince your Mom to put out a Christmas thing or two. You were loved, beautiful girl, and you’ll be missed. XOXOXO from Spitty and His Human
Oh cwap!! Fiona has left this world with Sammy and Easy this week. It’s too much, we say. All we can say is thank goodness she had such a loving family to guide her through her difficulties here on earth and Sammy to help her leave this world for a pain free one.
Hugs,
Shoko, Kali and mom Jean
Janet, thank you so much for the beautiful post about Miss Angel Fiona. I know she passed knowing that you loved her very much.
As always, we are at a loss except to say how badly we feel for all of you. Fiona was a wonderful purrson and we will miss her terribly. Sending you much love and a virtual hug…
XX Trish and the Horde
We are so upset, Mum is in tears. Sammy, then our lovely Fiona, gone. She was taken too soon.
We loved the pictures of Fiona at the Blessing recently. They were wonderful to see and I hope you know she enjoyed it too!
Words fail us, we can’t stop the tears.
My heart is broken. I knew it was happening and I felt so helpless. It is so hard to lose our furkids. I am thankful that Fiona was able to be at home with you in her final earthly moments. You indeed do have a beautiful angel, now. I love you guys. XO
Oh, we are so behind…we did not know about Fiona becoming an Angel.
Awww. Our hearts are so heavy. She will be such a most lovely angel.
Sending big purrs to surround you with a bit of comfort…we don’t know what else to do or say…
She will be forever cherished and held close in your heart to treasure always.
I am so sorry, Janet. I was really hoping for a miracle for Fiona and you, all of you. It’s hard to believe her last day came so soon, and so young, to a condition we associate with old age. If she only had six years in this world I’m glad they were with you. Our purrs and sympathies.
My heart is filled with sadness at this news. I know Fiona and her family all fought the good fight to regain her health. I, too, lost a CKD cat back in 2009. Fiona, Sammy and Easy are all together now on the other side of the veil. Out of sight, but never far from mind and the love of their families.
I don’t even know what to say. I’m sorry seems insufficient. She was far too young for all she had to endure, but she was incredibly blessed to have you guide her through it. “It’s always nice to have a friend to hold your paw when you begin a new adventure.” That quote is beautiful beyond words. We are just devastated for you. {{{HUGS}}}
OMC, we are so, so sorry, dear friends. I have tears in my eyes right now, and my heart aches for all of you. Thank you for loving beautiful Fiona so much, and so very well. And for sharing her with all of us.
