Sam was 17 and his body finally just gave out on him.
He was the sweetest little man and will be greatly missed.
What is a Cat?
Gentle eyes
that see so much,
paws that have
the quiet touch.
Purrs to signal
"all is well"
and show more love
than words can tell.
Graceful movements
touched with pride,
a calming presence
by our side.
A friendship
that will last and grow -
small wonder
why we love them so.

- Good By Sam. We will miss you.
My heart goes out to you and your family. We are the keepers of these critters, they come into our lives and leave paw prints on our hearts. Big hugs to you across the country.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss, Nancy. :( It's so hard when old friends (human or pet) leave us.
ReplyDeletehow truly blessed you were to have Sam so long. His photo is very lovely Nancy-who could help but love that face! Many hugs for you. Vicki
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you have lost your friend! We lost one of ours this past year too. Sable was 16 and was the sweetest kitty we've ever had. We still have her sister Gypsy though, and hopefully she'll be here for a while longer. I will remember you in my prayers for your comfort and peace during this time =^..^=
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, I'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteHe is beautiful and was so blessed to have you! Take care.
Such a beautiful baby to have loved you for so many years. His love will always be with you.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know it is painful but pray you and Jim will be comforted. Sam had a long good life with the best 'family' he could ever want! That is a really cute picture of Sam. You could always do a little memory quilt with photos of your sweet cats.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your loss. Sending good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful kitty!! So sorry for your loss. I know you'll miss him. Our pets bring us lots of love and often laughter with their little antics. Hope you will be comforted by many wonderful memories of Sam.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the loss of your pussy cat. Our pets become part of the family and we miss them as much as any other family member.
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry for your loss, we just lost our beloved pug Pebbles, our pets are like our children. We love and care for them the best we can it is always hard to lose them. I like to believe she is with my Mom on the rainbow bridge, and I will see them both again one day.
ReplyDeletePebbles was Mom's dog and we lost her in Jan, Pebbles was diagnosed with PDE in Feb and we lost her in May. I promised mom I would take care of her, and did everything I could but the disease was just to horrible, we did get her involved in research at U of GA so hopefully some good will come out of her death and maybe another dog wont suffer. She and Mom are together, she missed Mom so much and did understand where she was.
Sammy cat was one of the sweetest and most loyal cats I've ever met. He follow Nancy everywhere around her house. I know you and Jim will miss him. We just have to remember all the years of pleasure they gave us. I just cried when I saw his picture.

So sorry to hear of your loss.... I am facing the 3rd time this year that I have to say good bye to one of my dear cats. It is a tough call to make. I loved your little poem you found. Take Care.
