Oh, dear. Does this mean you have just lost a beloved kitty, Matt? If so, I am so sorry for your loss. From your drawing, your cat loved you as much as you loved him/her. What a little sweetie and such a loving tribute. RIP.
What a beautiful tribute to a loyal, furry soul. Now my monitor is going all blurry because this kitty looks so much like my dearly departed Miss Kitty. She lives on with me in my memory, my once and forever cat.
Matt, I am so sorry for the loss of your buddy. This is such a lovely tribute and I am weeping with you. I pray you find comfort and peace in your memories.
Matt, I am so sorry! But, your beloved Dad & Kitty cat are now together…I know you’d rather have them here with you, but, at least they are not alone on the other side of the rainbow bridge.
On 6/29/20 you posted a beautiful tribute of Bird taking the scenic route with Death. It helped me so much as my wonderful dog had left for the bridge on 6/26. Now here is a lovely tribute to your special kitty. I am so sorry that you are going through so much in such a short time and wish I could send you more than words. Hugs and purrs to you Matt. I hope the fellow feelings of your readers help…cherish those memories.
So sorry for yet another loss in this time of sorrow. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}, purrs, and prayers of comfort for you.
Each time we welcome a new pet into our homes we know all too well that their “forever” is never long enough; far too soon, the day comes for each of us when we pay the price of love. Eternal life grant unto all the beloved companions that have left this life for the next; may they bask in light perpetual until we are reunited.
I have a great photo of the sun beaming in on the late Spotty. She was a dilute calico and had beautiful markings. It’s on the front of her box and the inscription on the top reads: “Spotty, our ray of sunshine. Your light still burns bright.”
I’m so sorry. Even when we are prepared, we still really aren’t. My Zoe, groomer and protector of kitties, I imagine is at the rainbow bridge welcoming all cats who make it over.
Matt, so sorry for your loss. You make the most touching tributes. I know that the love you draw and write into them makes all of us feel comforted in our own losses. We only have our words to give you comfort and we all hope it helps.
This touched my heart in so many ways. Hugs to all who have had to say goodbye to loved ones. I really do hope that it is not ‘goodbye’ but ‘see you later’, and I like the idea of the Rainbow Bridge and living on in the Cat’s Cafe.
I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. We never do get over the loss of our furry children. She is up there with my Cuda, Chianti, and Micki. Hugs and purrs your way.
I’m sorry for your loss. Your cat shall join Strows, Felix and Bella up in Cat Heaven. Cats will mold and heal, but the loss of one makes the mold fall apart. Remain strong, and hold on ever so tight to the memories.
My best friend had to have his cat put down a few days ago… I miss her a lot. I know it was very hard for my friend, so I’m just trying to be there for him.
I’m so sorry for your recent losses. You have used your gift to create beautiful tributes to your beloved dad, and cat. They have struck a cord with all of us who have also suffered loss, there are a lot of blurred screens today. May you find peace in your heart, with your memories. <3
Matt, they stay with you forever. Last night I dreamed about Funny Face, who left me in 2011. In my dream she was curled up half on my shoulder and half on my chest, and we were walking everywhere together, even to an eatery. I woke up remembering her soft, beautiful fur, and her complacent, cuddly being.
Matt, Hugs and purr bumps to you and your whole family. I’d like to say it gets better, but it just stays different. Some days good different and others, not so good. Take time to be with your family.
I lost my beloved Vlad on Jan. 4th of this year. He died of cancer. I cried when I was given the diagnosis about this time last year. With the steroids/heart medicine I was given, we got an extra 7 months together. He always greeted me at the door, I would pick him up and put him on my hip like a human child, we would go to the sofa and sit for a while before I would change my pants. He didn’t always wanted to be cuddled, but when he wanted love, I always made sure he got it. Sometimes he would be so happy, he would drool! He always somehow got my hair on his head when he cuddled on my shoulder. When it was time, I cut my hair, tied it, and asked that it would be cremated with him. I now wear some of his ashes in an little silver sleeping cat next to the ashes in a locket for my other two kitties that passed away 13.5 years ago. I ceased to be his guardian, he is now mine.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Matt. I love cats so much, and I know this comment is late, but I hope you will get through this hard time and remember all the fond memories with your little furball. Your tribute is so sweet, I am literally crying right now! Hope your comic continues strong!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! RIP MATT’S CAT YOU WILL BE MISSED! (Cat person, the last panel always makes me cry)

From Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera: Wishing
You were my beloved companion
You were joy and sunshine
Then you had to leave me too soon
Memories sad but so fine.
…….
Wishing you were somehow here again
Lying on my drawing pad
Just for awhile
You still make me smile
And make me feel slightly less sad.
Wishing I could hear you purr again
More than just a memory
I feel your love
Still comes from above
With every sunbeam I see!
…….
Free from pain and cares and sadness
High above the rainbow
Someday I’ll return to gladness
You live in joy, I do know
…….
Wishing you were back with me again
Wishing will not make it so
Still I love you and you love me too
And that love will never go!
Wishing you the best across the Bridge
Knowing we will meet again
Until that day, you’re not far away
As we will forever be friends
Still have memories to help me through the tears
And the love that will last all through the years
Till then I’ll say goodbye
Till then I’ll say goodbye!
