What a sweet.story. Cats don't judge you. They have that unconditionally love. It is so painful when they die. I had a cat when I was a kid and she would follow me around. And love to sleep at the edge of my bed. She loved me regardless of what I did. I miss her deeply. Her name was patches.
WITH EYES UPRAISED
HIS MASTER'S LOOK TO SCAN
THE JOY THE SOLACE
THE AID OF MAN
THE RICH MAN'S GUARDIAN
THE POOR MAN'S FRIEND
THE ONLY CREATURE
WHOSE EVER FAITHFUL
UNTO THE END.
I DIDNT WRITE THIS, A FRIEND GAVE ME THIS. I DEDICATE THIS TO ALL MY PETS CATS DOGS HORSES RATS ETC WHO HAVE PASSED HOME TO SPIRIT.
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie—
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.
When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find—it’s your own affair—
But … you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.
When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.
We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long—
So why in—Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

I DIDNT WRITE THIS I GRABBED IT FROM ONE OF THE MANY CAT BLOGS I READ.
Hi all. The Paws and Effect Gang have once again yielded the podium to me for a very important post. A few weeks ago, I found myself in the hospital and unable to take care of Thomas, Bella and Tara. Fortunately, I’d made a plan ahead of time, so the gang didn’t go hungry or lonely while I was away. (I was pretty lonely without them, but that’s another story.) Anyhow, this week I want to talk to you about making an emergency plan for your cat.
It’s not fun to think about, but the odds are good that at some point in our lives, we’re going to find ourselves in a state of disability that may render us temporarily unable to take care of our cats.
Why do you need an emergency plan for your cat?
There are a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is that having an emergency plan for your cat will give you peace of mind. The middle of a crisis is the last place you want to be when you realize you don’t know what you’re going to do with your cat while you’re in the hospital or out of town with some other emergency.
You may think, “Well, I can hire a cat sitter.” That’s easier said than done on an emergency basis. A lot of cat sitters are fully booked and can’t take on a client in an emergent situation. Also, cat sitters like to meet the cat and the client before taking on a job, and they can’t do that if you’re not available. Therefore, it’s a good idea to have a Plan B.
What does an emergency plan look like?
An emergency plan for your cat can vary in the details, but there are a few common components. First of all, you need to give a set of house keys to someone who doesn’t live with you. Hopefully you have people in your life who you could trust with that–for me, those people are my sister and her partner. For you, it could be a neighbor or a family member or a friend who lives nearby.
In addition to having the keys to your home, your trusted friend needs to know about what you feed your cat and any medications they may be taking. They should also know who your vet is, in the event of an emergency. If you have pet insurance, make sure they have your cat’s policy number, if your pet insurance company is one that provides direct payment to the vet. Since you might not have time to run to the pet store and stock up on food before your emergency, they should be able to pay for food and kitty litter while you’re away, if needed.
It’s really helpful if you have all these directions ready to print or pull out of a notebook.
I was fortunate that I had time to write care instructions before I went to the hospital, but if I were smart, I’d have had that document ready to go so I didn’t have to spend time writing the instructions at the last minute, when I was really sick, and hope I didn’t forget anything.
An emergency plan, step by step
The first thing you need to do is find a friend, family member or neighbor you can trust with your cat’s care. Ask that person if they’re willing to be your emergency cat caretaker. If they say they can’t–no harm, no foul. It’s better to know now than when you’re actually having an emergency.
Then, once you have your emergency caretaker lined up, do the following:
Have a duplicate set of keys made and give them to that individual.
Put together a document for your caretaker that gives the following information:
What does your cat eat, how much, and how often?
Is your cat on any medication? If so, put the dosage and timing of medications (once a day, twice a day, etc.) on the information sheet.
Who’s your veterinarian? Write down the phone number and address of your vet’s office. If your vet isn’t available after hours, write down the phone number and address of the nearest 24-hour pet clinic.
Do you have pet insurance? What’s the policy number? Write that down and print out a claim form to go with the instruction sheet.
How can you be reached? If you’re going to the hospital and you know which one, you can write that down on the info sheet before you leave.
Where are the cat carriers located? If you have multiple cats, it’s helpful if you state which carrier belongs to which cat.
Where are the toys located? Also, if your cat has a favorite interactive toys, write down that information as well.
Get your emergency caretaker’s contact information and share it with your other friends and family members. That way, if you end up in the hospital but you didn’t get a chance to call your caretaker, they can get in touch and tell them what’s happening.
Emergency plan considerations
Keep in mind that if you have an emergency, that’s going to be really stressful for your cat, too. Cats are creatures of routine, and when the routine goes out of balance, your cat can become very anxious. When making your emergency plan for your cat, ensure that whoever is going to be taking care of your cat while you’re away is going to be able to spend quality time with her.
Shy or fearful cats will need extra support during this time. Make sure that your caretaker has a gentle voice and quiet movements, and that he or she has good “cat manners.” Hopefully your caretaker knows your cat pretty well; if so, they should be able to help your cat get through the tough times.
