I include/understand your misfortune my friend I lost several she-cats in the same circumstances. Old age bring them towards their sky. You knows a man that little cry similar. The sorrows belong to the life and of the times it is necessary to evacuate. I had in a similar as holds it 40 years and my sorrows returned this evening to the sight of your Beautiful Cleocatra. That does not renovate me. You can a heart little not forget, it remembers that too much his memories. Eyes full of water, I then to come you to assistance. I know that you include/understand me. Well with you MICKEYRONY ((5++)) Je comprend ton malheur mon ami J'ai perdu plusieurs chattes dans les mêmes circonstances . La vieillesse les apportent vers leur ciel . Tu sais un homme cela peu pleurer pareil . Les peines font partie de la vie et des fois il faut évacuer . J'en ai eu une pareille comme la tienne vla 40 ans et mes peines sont revenues ce soir à la vue de ta Belle Cleocatra. Cela ne me rajeunit pas .Tu sais un coeur ne peu pas oublier, il se souvient que trop de ses souvenirs . Les yeux plein d'eau, je ne puis te venir en aide . Je sais que tu me comprend . Bien à toi MICKEYRONY
How Sad Steve, My heart goes out to you! May her spirit return in a new pet for you! Hugs!
Steve, my heart grieves for thee on your loss. However, rest assured, she is waiting for you at the rainbow bridge. It sounds like she had 21 years of love and affection and gave you love in return!
Some "travels" are hard and delicate, you accompagned your little cat for this last one with love and caring.
Great looking cat. Sad to know shes gone, but be positive, you got some great years with her. Thats what counts.
I am sorry to hear about your loss Steve. She lived with you a long time and you shared for sure a lot. Those memories will never go and cherised in your heart and soul.
I feel your loss in your words. I lost my friend 19 years ago and she was also a calico. They seem to have a very human heart. You have brought out her heart in this shot.
Hi Steve, your 4 legg friend was a beautiful looking one (it's a 3 colour), it's always very sad when we have to say goodbye to such friends, but he will live forever in your heart, see you Ute
I'm so sorry for your loss. But you will keep it in your heart forever !
I am very saddened to hear your companion has gone over to Rainboe Bridge. You will meet again. Animals have a special place in our hearts. CatCapers
OH no .....so sad indeed.know the feeling ..lost my cat the same way a while back but it still feels like yesterday......Hugs.....
Oh Steve, I sympathize with you as best as it can for you to lose a beloved four-legged friends, I am heartily sorry for him. It now sounds somewhat corny, but in Katzenhimel she's lucky, your Cleocartra Beautiful is in your heart forever destined to remain in good blush, do not be sad, because she definitely had a wonderful life with you!
Dear friend Steve; I am sad for the loss of Cleocatra... The picture is fantastic ... is a beautiful reminder. Big Hug!
So sorry about your loss!Very sad. Very beautiful cat.
I am so sorry to learn of this,...such a sad way to have to start out the new year. 21 years is incredible, and such a beautiful friend. Please don't take this wrong, but I am happy that you shared so many wonderful years together, you both were truly blessed. Liz did such a wonderful job in her comment, that it would be near impossible to add anything more of comfort. Since Cheri and I have been together, we've experienced the loss of two cats and her pet rabbit of some 18 years, another exceptional long lived family member. I think the hardest thing I ever had to do though was to have my dog put down, she was one of my best friends, for some 13 years. The vet had a print up in the lobby, the words of which I will never forget, there was some comfort in them, and even though they are intended for a dog, the last three lines are apt for all pets, author unknown. To Dog Owners Everywhere: A Dog's Plea Treat me kindly, my beloved friend for no heart in all this world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. Do not break my spirit with a stick for though I should lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn. Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail, when your footsteps fall upon my waiting ear. Please take me inside when it is cold and wet for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than to have the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Keep my pan filled with water for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger. And my friend, when I am old and no longer enjoy good health and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going, I am not having fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands. Please take good care Steve

She was indeed family!
Ela era linda meu amigo, entristece muito sua perda meu amigo....
I am so sorry for your loss Steve. 20 to 21 years is a good long life for a cat but it is never something anyone is truly prepared for until it happens. Cleocatra looks like a very loving and clever cat and though she's gone to a nicer place I do not doubt she will check in on you from time to time. Take care.
Thats so sad - I'm sorry for your loss.
OMG Steve i have tears streaming down my face im so sorry to hear of your loss RIP Cleo and your in my thoughts and preyers Steve hugs loux

:( I am so sorry, it is sad. She was a beautiful cat. My heart breaks for you.
What a beautiful, intelligent creature she is. Love is never wasted, never gone.
