| Hello Friends, Mr Buttons here. Dad was going to do my last post but I felt a little better and wanted to do it myself. I was so glad I got to enjoy my 7th GotCha Day and it seems like only yesterday Dad said I could officially join the family. Me and Miss Fitz had been in foster care for a long time and I had actually been adopted and returned due to my FIV. I was introduced furst as I was more outgoing and I fit right in with Tim, Toby, Buddy and Rumpy. We bumped noses and I was in like Flint. Miss Fitz came up the next week and, MOL, she is still a bit standoffish. Thats my gal. Dad has a nice Vet coming to the house today to help me on my trip to the Rainbow Bridge. He is really sad. Me too. There have been a lot of goodbyes and tears here. I wish I could stay but I am needed at the Bridge to help spread Kitty Angel Dust. |
 |
I told Dad that I HATED my fluids and medications. He listened and only gave me one last drop of fluids on Monday. I admit I did feel better and spent that Tuesday on Dads lap at work.
Me and Buddy had a nice chat. He stays with Dad all day.
|
 |
| Check me out. What a handsome fellow. |
 |
| Being the Black Cat Crew me and Toby have always had a good bond. On Wednesday night he said he has a special something for me. Hmmm. |
 |
| Then Timmy came up and said hello as he always does. He is a great cat. |
 |
| Miss Fitz was next to come by, say hello, and sit in her spot |
 |
| Then something Amazing happened. Buddy came up, said hello and laid next to me. Then Einstein, then Rumpy. Wow we were All on the bed, Together! My Family together for me. So nice. Dad was just amazed. We never do that. But they did for me, Mr. B! |
 |
| Yesterday me and Toby spent the afternoon just cat chatting and relaxing. He has been such a friend. |
So friends don't think of this as goodbye but,
until we meet again.
Love You!
Mr Buttons
Dad and Family

You will be running free and feeling so healthy with those who have crossed before.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr Buttons,
ReplyDeleteI am o sad that you have to go...as I know your family is too. I am sure you will be met by all the "Before Pets" and they will have a big party where you will be able to dance and run and jump like you did during your prime. I know this because Angel Nellie told me and she also told me that everyone is ready. You will be welcomed!

I'm so very sorry I missed this. I haven't had the time to read the blogs as I used to, and this is what happens. I am shocked that you had to go, Mr Buttons. It's terrible, terrible. But I am happy that you had seven years with the best family you could have found. Your dad is a marvel, and my thoughts are with him. It was astonishing that your family came to lie down with you. They must've known. What a wonderful compliment. You will surely be missed, Mr B. Godspeed to you.
ReplyDeleteWe hads to stop being furry sads before coming by... Mr. Buttons, you had the bestest family and so furry glad that you didn't have to go to vets that you gotted to stay with your family as you leapt over the bridge. Fly Free now, sweetheart. We will see you again. Psalm 36:6 - Oh Lord You save both people and animals, how great is your loving kindness.
ReplyDeleteMr. Buttons, I am weepy over you crossing the Bridge, but at least you had a Dad who understood about earthly pains and how life on the other side brings us freedom to be young kittens again. Still, my mom is weepy. She loves you black kitties so much. We are sending your family tight hugs and heart felt condolences. Purrrs! Herman and Dori and Mom Kim
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you and your family, Mr. Buttons. It's always very hard to see a furry family member leaving. I hope you'll have a great time on the other side.
