"Better to have loved and lost the perfect cat, than never to have known him!"

Gråpus var villkatt når han bestemte seg for å bo hos meg, det er 6 1/2 år siden nå (når han døde i 2003). Det var vanskelig å komme i kontakt med den lille karen i begynnelsen for han var så sky, men etterhvert så bandt vi et sterkt bånd mellom oss. Han var sky for andre mennesker i mange år, de eneste som kunne passe han når jeg var borte var mammaen min, broren min og samboeren hans. Gråpus var alltid snill og grei, han ødela aldri noe når han var alene hjemme. Han elsket kos og oppmerksomhet, syntes han at jeg hadde lest eller vært på dataen for lenge, da bare kom han og satt seg rett foran, så jeg ikke kunne lese eller jobb videre. Vi fikk litt over 6år sammen, alt for kort tid, men jeg setter pris på hver dag jeg hadde sammen med han. Grå fikk slag under en tannsten behandling hos dyrlegen og kom aldri tilbake til seg selv igjen. Det å ta farvel med Grå er noe av det tøffeste jeg har gjort, men jeg kunne ikke se på at min lille gutt led og ikke var seg selv. Jeg vil alltid minnes lille gutten min, det siies at tid leger alle sår, jeg vet ikke tiden får vise.
 Savner deg lille POOH!!!

 
Do not stand by my grave and weep, I am not there.
 I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow
 I am a diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
 I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry,
 I am not there. I did not die.

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends, so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and confortable.

All the animals that had been ill or old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimd are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddently stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly be begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling toghether in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon you face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.....
