They often need special understanding and consideration which we were happy to give her. Charleen |

Thank you so much Suz and Spicy. .We called her our Grumpy Old Lady as she
didn't socialize with the other cats or us either until nighttime. Then if another cat got on the bed a Grumpy Snarl, or Grumpy Look would send the miscrant away and she would Lord it over her Kingdom once more. Thank you for your caring words.

Thank you Lori. Aggie will appriecate all the lovely candles as, being a
feral cat, she will not be stepping out, she will be darting here and there, from place to place moving forward. May it be that the love and caring that the candles shine on her infuse her with the confidence, and courage to approach the Rainbow Bridge joyfully. Your dear words are appreciated. Charleen "CN" wrote in message ... Oh Charleen, I am so, so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you and David - please accept my deepest condolences. I will send purrs and prayers for your breaking hearts and I will light a candle tonight to help guide Aggie Marble on her way to the Bridge. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ "Charleen Welton" wrote in message ng.com...

Dear Allison, yes they do, no matter what size they are. The consolidation
is that she is comfortable now. I couldn't want any more for her. As, unfortunatley, you know having been there yourself. I hope you are coping okay. Charleen "AlisonT" wrote in message ... I'm so sorry Charleen. They leave such a big hole in our lives when they leave. Alison |

I appreciate your kind words, thank you. And I also am glad that she is no
longer pain as she appeared to be only the last two days. The vet could not have been more wonderful and more supportive to Aggie and to me. We've all been through this with a pet we love and it never gets easier does it? Thank you again. Charleen "jmcquown" wrote in message ... "Charleen Welton" wrote in message ng.com...

Aggie Marble Jan 1993 - Mar 2009
Thank you so much. In thinking about her as I write these notes I think of
how she went through her Whack A Mole period not too long ago. She would stand at the side of the bed, make sure one of us was looking at her and then she would drop down to the floor on all four feet and pop right back up immediately. And on and on and on and on and on. She could have gotten on the bed. Aggie Whack A Mole lasted about six weeks then Aggie jumping on the bed when she felt like it returned. We do not have a clue what that was all about. Charleen "Bobble" wrote in message ... Such sad news, I'm so sorry for you.

Thank you so much Lee. The days have periods of tears and laughter. I
wounder if there more that we could have done but given the fact that she was under the care of a terffic vet I doubt it, yet still wonder. On the other hand I think of the day maybe two years ago that she went outside. David and I could not think of any other time in her life that she had ever been outside. This was her choice. One day I heard the most awful racket, howling, yowling, feline cursing like you wouldn't believe! I rushed out to the back porch door; Aggie was outside by the Kitty Door howling unbelievably to get in. Two things were apparent. One is that she wasn't afraid she was damn angry, the second was the the Kitty Door she was standing by was open! I picked her up snuggled her close and took her into the bedroom where she promptly disappeared under the bed. Charleen "Stormmee" wrote in message ...

you must keep it in your mind that you did the best at the time, do not
second guess yourself, just know you loved her and she loved you and that is really, in the end, all that matters, Lee "Charleen Welton" wrote in message g.com... Thank you so much Lee.

We'll light a candle for her journey and I am sure that Four is waiting for her to show her around at the bridge. Lots of love, Helen M Thank you so very much Helen. It is amazing how much more room I have in the bed at night after Aggie and I finish reading, the light is turned out and she wends her way under the bed. And I've gotten to be an expert at being able to read a book holding it up above cat height to the left while simultaneously patting, scritching and under the chin scratching said cat as she required. Yes, Four and Mr. Pumpkin will be there for her. Thank you, Helen. Charleen |
