I often get asked why I couldn’t bring Buddy to live inside my home and the answer is two fold. The first reason was because of my 2 inside only cats; one of them being a 9 year old feral rescue who was terrified of anything other then me. Not knowing anything about Buddy’s history, I was fearful of what he might expose my kitties too. The second reason (and the top reason) was because of Buddy’s medical history which I learned after an emergency vet visit (blood in his urine). I learned he was a male; about 4 years old, and at some point his previous owner had perineal urethrostomy surgery performed due to a urine blockage. Our medical journey is too long to go into here, but suffice it to say that over the years I had 3 more corrective surgeries performed trying to repair his problem. Basically Buddy had problems emptying his bladder, so when he slept his urine would flow freely out of him right where he laid; and I’m not talking about a few drips of urine. He would wake up with his backside soaked in urine. This would happen every day. No surgery could repair this. There is also a 3rd reason…Buddy was a killer/predator. I don’t know how long he had to survive outside on his own, but he was a fierce fighter/hunter. Unfortunately on more than one occasion I had witnessed him catching and killing healthy adult squirrels. He knew how to use his claws and teeth, and I couldn’t take the chance that he may hurt one of my other kitties. Because of these reasons we could not bring him inside, but we did provide him with a screened in porch for protection at night (you can see him entering his door in the video); and we built him an insulated heated “condo” for the colder weather. I loved him like no other and did my best to protect him and provide a loving and safe home for him. I miss him every day.
Today marks 4 years since I held you in my arms for the last time. I kissed your face over and over and told you how much I loved you and you were such a good boy. Our bond was so very very special. You could never be an inside cat because of your health issues; and even though you could go wherever you wanted, you always came to me when I called. You would lay on the front step waiting for me to get home from work, and then come over to greet me. I am so glad we lived on a private wooded lot on a dead end street where there was little car traffic, but somehow you knew to stay clear of cars. You were definitely one smart kitty cat. I remember our goodbye like it was yesterday Buddy…and still not a day goes by that I don’t silently speak your name. I hope you are waiting by the rainbow bridge to greet me when my time comes. Somehow I have no doubt that you will be there. I love you with all my heart and miss you everyday. 😢😢😢
Bless you for taking care of him those eight years. It takes a special kind of person. You can see from the video how bonded you two were! Sorry he left. We put my dog Buddy to sleep on March 29, 2021 due to multiple medical problems. We were very lucky to get 17 years with him but I still cry everyday missing him like crazy and just can't get over it. II don't think the pain ever stops does it? :(
@@robertbalsome6857 Robert, I am so very sorry about the loss of your beloved Buddy. Seventeen years reflects the good healthcare that you provided to him, but no matter how long our fur babies are with us…it is never enough…they always leave us too soon. My Buddy has been gone 4 years now, and although the gut retching pain does lessen in time, what remains is a deep sadness at the lost of time together. My sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved friend. 😢💔
@leslieperalta1581. Thank you for watching my Buddy’s tribute and your kind words. Yes, Buddy’s love, trust and gratitude filled my heart…he was my soul furbaby. I also like to believe that one day we will be with our fur babies again ❤️❤️😢
Six years, Buddy!!!Falling in love more and more with God, you and life itself!!!!!Really happy that you are having a perfect time in heaven with all your friends! Your playful mischief is making everybody happy, smile and laugh!!!
Hey Buds…sadly we now have hit the 6 yr date. Just realised that if you had remained illness free you would be 18 yrs old now; which would have been so doable. How much I wish we could have had more time together. I’m not feeling well today so this will be short….I love you, I miss you terribly, and I know you will be waiting for me when my time comes. Forever and ever you have my heart.❤❤❤😢
I‘m sorry for your loss 😢 I know that it still hurts even after 6 years 😢 and thank you for sharing your digital memories with us. I’ve gone through this 4 times already and it never gets easier. I know nothing can replace your bud, but if you didn’t already, please consider to open your home and your heart for a new cat. It seems you have much love to give and there are so many cats out there looking for a loving home.. Stay healthy.
@@crnxhh83 @crnxhh83. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute and for your kind words. After less than one year after saying goodbye to my Buddy, a feral kitten did come into my life. We rescued her from a colony that hung around a restaurant where the restaurant owner was preparing to have a turkey shoot on his property and he wanted the cat colony gone 😬. This young cat was friendly enough (enticed by food) so we could get her in a carrier and brought her home. Now…2 years later she is my lap cat and very demanding when she wants to be petted or brushed 😁. And I still have my other SPCA rescue who will soon be celebrating her 22nd birthday. She is a work in progress health wise, but as long as she has quality of life I will stick by her. Unfortunately the cost of love is the heartache of saying goodbye. Thank you again for watching Buddy’s goodbye 💔😢. Best wishes
@@debbiedel1953 I'm very happy to hear you make another cats life a joy. 22 years is an epic age, which tells a lot about how you care about your pawed family members. I'm sure buddy knows he had the best life possible with you loving him and will be waiting for you. I adopted a 1 year old furball where the previous owners couldn't handle his behaviour. they told me he'll probably never be a lap cat. 2 years later now, he is jumping on my lap before getting out of bed every morning, demanding to be petted.
@@crnxhh83 I am not surprised at all that you were able to show this furbaby what a loving home felt like; and he shows his appreciation to you every time he wants your love ❤️
Hey sweetie pie...I miss you today as much as I did 8 months ago when I had to say goodbye. The warmer weather is here...I can see you laying on the deck...or lounging on the front steps waiting for me to get home from work...or calling out to me when I came outside. In my mind I can see you everywhere... I can honestly say that still not a single day has gone by when I haven't thought of you numerous times. I know that at some point I need to rescue another furbaby to help fill this emptiness in my heart. But no matter what the future holds for me...you will always be a part of me that is missing. I love you Buds......😢
@ginatober6752. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute and your kind words. We did have an amazing life and an incredible connection…how I wish we could have grown old together ❤️😢
These videos of Buddy and his photos are wonderful. ❤ I know it’s been six years but I loved seeing this today. He was so special and he needed a big friend because of his health problems and thankfully he had all your support and love. He loved your laugh very much and he would do almost anything to hear you laugh. It made him so happy. ❤
@SongMom8. Thank you for watching and your kind comments. I know that Buddy was fortunate to have found me…but I was just as blessed …his love, devotion and gratitude for saving him filled my heart with soooo much love. I miss feeling so special 😢💔
Hello there, first of all thank you for sharing the story about Buddy. I cried. He reminds me so much of the pack leader I take care of every day for the last 9 years, a total of 6 cats. The pack leader, Blackie, is a Tuxedo cat like buddy was. Looking at him in your videos and photos one can see he was loved and taken care of. Without you in his life I am sure he would of lived a shorter and less enjoyable life. He looked like he appreciated that very much and rewarded you with his purrs, snuggles and companionship. Don't think he could have asked for more. Be proud of that, just like Buddy was that you were his human. One day, when your time comes like it will for all of us, I am sure Buddy will be waiting for you on the other side of the rainbow ready to have new adventures with you. All the best from Croatia ❤
@Valerya7777. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words! You are so right…everyday Buddy showed me how much he appreciated a safe place to call home. I could go on and on and on about how smart he was and all the different ways he showed me his gratitude for saving him. We grew so close…and he made me feel very special. Our love was mutual; and I will miss him everyday until we are together again. I wish you well with your pack…they are very fortunate to have you! All the best to you from USA ❤️
So sorry for the loss of your precious cat buddy now he has crossed the rainbow Bridge but he is with his furry friends now sending you all my love and thoughts rip little man he will never be forgotten because you loved him so much goodnight and God bless x to you his owner sending you a big hug from me hope it helps
@mandylucas-bh8Ih. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute. I truly appreciate your kind words…yes, Buddy will never be forgotten as long as I live 😢💔❤️
Your cute Norwegian forest cat was so gorgeous. I'm sure seeing his pics bring back all the sweet memories. But remember he was a God's gift to you, that brought u happiness. And his absence (as sad that is) is what made those times special. Anyway, was crying with a smile watching this. It's 3 in the morning here.
Meow Meow thank you for watching my Buddy's tribute. He was so beautiful, and we had a very special connection. There has not been a single day that I don't miss his presence in my life. 😥😥😥
Thankfully there is many of us out there that have the heart to save an animal for that my respect to anyone that gives an animal a better life then what they are granted..
@sean macguire. Thank you so much for watching Buddy’s tribute, and for your kind comment. He so enriched my life with his love and devotion; and in spite of his health challenges, I tried to make his life the best it could be given his medical issues. For me…he was one of a kind… ❤️💔
7 Years, Buddy! WOW! Thank you very much for being divinely/amazingly perfect! Thank you very much for your absolute perfection! Thank you very much for being impeccably flawless and immaculately excellent, superb, fantastic and brilliant! Thank you very much for being the GOD given perfection of the universe and pinnacle of perfection! Some may say its bit excessive! DO NOT CARE-I AM WELL DAMN PROUD TO OVERBOARD FOR YOU! YOU ARE MORE THAN WORTH IT! GOD BLESS YOU, BUDDY! SO DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH YOU AND WELL DAMN PROUD!
Wow Buddies story was so beautiful and made me shed some tears. Seeing those videos of Buddy, you could absolutely see how much of a beautiful spirit he was and how happy and energetic he was. You gave Buddy an amazing chance at life taking care of him and giving him the love he needed. I know what it's like to lose an animal lost my dog of 11 years last May of 2023 and I am still not over his loss. God is good, Jesus prepared a place for us in Heaven where all of our pets and family members await us and where everyone will be young again and we will be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Hallelujah.
@AlexTheFollowerofJesusChrist. Thank you so much for watching Buddy’s tribute and your kind words…they are much appreciated. I am so sorry for your loss of your fur baby last year. Hopefully in time you will begin to have more smiles then tears when you think of him. Until we see our babies again…wishing you comfort and peace.
Well sweetie...it's now been one year since you crossed over the rainbow bridge. Still not a day passes that I don't think of you numerous times. You are on my ipad & my phone - I see you there everyday. When I leave the house I tell you how much I miss you and love you; and when I come home I see you lounging on the front steps waiting for me. The emptiness of your passing is still with me. I wish the rainbow bridge had visiting hours. I miss you Buds. I suppose I always will :( :( :(
Buddy was quite the funny boy.😂 You certainly gave him a terrific home that he no doubt greatly loved! I so look forward to the day that we see all of our beloved furbabies again! Rest easy in Gods arms Buddy.❤️🙏
@mikek8089. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute. We each gave our heart to the other❤️. I also look forward to the day when we all can once again hug our beloved fur babies; and Buddy can rest easy in my arms forever.💔😢❤️. All the best to you.
Ten Mondays have come and gone since I had to say goodbye, yet the empty hole in my heart has gotten no smaller. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you my Buddy....I will forever miss the life we shared.
I have been tossing around all the things I wanted to say knowing that your 2 yr rainbow crossing anniversary was coming soon; but when it's all said and done, basically nothing has changed in how I feel about you. Yes, I did rescue a 9 month old street cat whose days were numbered. Slowly she is learning to trust us, she will now sit on my lap sometimes, but don't hold her or kiss the top of her head. Hopefully that will come in time. It was in your honor Buddy that I opened my heart to another. Cali is still going strong at 17 yrs old. How I wish I had had that many years with you. So still, 2 years later, I think of you...I quietly speak your name to myself.... and I miss you every damn day. Love you my Buddy like no other....❤️😭❤️😭😭
Oh how beautiful to see this lovely video....tears tears and more tears...I just lost my one cat of 18yrs....also rescue many cats.....I have a 6yr old rescue named Gracie....she is Buddys double...in looks and behaviour and love....wish I could send you a pic of her.... thank you for sharing your special fuuurrr kid with us in the world....God be with you.....
Linda Berg Thank you so much Linda for your kind words about my Buddy. This coming Sept will be 3 yrs since I had to say goodbye...and I still think of him at least once every day. He was so special to me and we had such a strong bond. I am so sorry about the recent loss of your 18 yr old baby. It is so difficult to say goodbye after being a loving part of your life for so long; you certainly must have given her a wonderful life!! I also have an 18 yo rescue (Callie), she’s doing ok but I can definitely see the signs of her age. And you have a Gracie...so do I!!! My Gracie rescue is I guess about 2 now, but she looks nothing like Buddy. I would love to see a picture of your Gracie!!!!!!! Do you have a picture of Gracie anywhere on UA-cam?
I feel your pain. I let my cat cross the rainbow bridge at home today. They are such wonderful souls, I know they loved us just as much as we loved them. Hugs
@genisis429. I’m so sorry that you had to say goodbye to your beloved baby. Thankfully you were able to help him/her cross while in the comfort of their home, where they knew love. Hugs to you too.
It has now been 7 years Buddy since I kissed your face for the last time…oh how I wish you could still be here with me. 😢 When I lovingly made this video tribute of our life, I did it for two reasons. First so I could see and relive a smidgen of our time together, and second because I wanted other people to see how extraordinary you were. And wow have they said wonderful things about you Buddy!! They are complete strangers, yet they share with me kind words about you which brings me comfort…and I get to talk about you when most people would think I’m crazy still missing you after all these years. When I said goodbye I told you that I would never forget you…I gave you a piece of my heart and you gave me your precious trust and love. Till we meet again Buds you will have my heart always.
The title alone told me I was going to cry if I watched, but I watched anyway. All cats are special, despite so many people saying they don't like cats because they're too independent and aloof. These are people that have never really known a cat. Cats can be just as loving and dedicated to their "people" as dogs are. And they are a lot less work. I'll take a cat over a dog any day of the week. I've been lovingly "owned" by eight wonderful cats over the last 45 years, and would not have traded a second of that time. Debbie, please tell me you got at least one cat since loosing Buddy. He would have wanted it that way.
@georgiadavison. Yes, cats can definitely have a very special bond with their owner. For me Buddy was solid proof of that. When you think about the fact that he had total freedom outside to go wherever he wanted (this freedom was due to the fact that with his medical issues he had no control over his bodily functions); yet when I called him he would come running. I believe Buddy’s devotion was his way of thanking me for rescuing him from an early and painful death. Georgia, it took me about 2 years to rescue another baby. She was living with a feral colony whose time on this earth was about to be cut short. She has completely adapted to the good life, and is now a lap cat and sometimes a pain in the butt. 😁. I also have another rescue from the SPCA who is now 21 yrs old. We are dealing with Cali’s hyperthyroidism and stage 3 kidney disease. But just like Buddy’s issues, I will continue with Cali’s care as long as she has quality of life. It’s all about the love you give and receive in return. Thank you for watching and commenting on Buddy’s tribute. Best wishes.
Those eyes. Beautiful baby boy. They always love us more, these strays. Never wants us to get mad at them. They behave. They are grateful. They wait for us. That's why it is more painful once they leave us❤
@sugarandspice3274. You are so right! Buddy expressed his gratitude every day which made me love him even more. And the loss I feel without him has stayed with me over all these years. 💔
Morning Deb. I’m 56 and had been in prison over stupid addiction issues for over a decade until 2017. A year ago a guy I knew abandoned his two cats, male n female siblings. I only wished to feed and save them. W/ in weeks we were bonded. I took their other recently abandoned brother in 6 weeks ago, and 5 months ago took a kitten “ Luna” jet black in as well. I went from being a cat disliker to being a daddy to all four. Your buddy tribute rocks and made me cry because only God knows what I’ll do when anything happens to one of these babies! They punctually wake me up at three am every morning, whine all day, swarm me on the couch and cry to be fed constantly just like my child would do and I adore them. God bless you and RIP BUDDY, gone too soon!
@petepotaczek5844. Congratulations for turning your life around. I am so glad for you and your fur babies that you found each other. You give them a wonderful life that they probably never would have had; and they give you love, gratitude and purpose in return. It is so rewarding to save a life ❤️. Thank you Pete for watching Buddy’s tribute…I will always feel his love. ❤️😢
@@debbiedel1953 thanks for the sentiment. I don’t tell you this to elicit empathy whatsoever. I’m simply telling you this to proclaim my love for our little munchkins. I’ve lost my mother, father in a violent manner, I’ve lost 3 of my 9 sisters and one brother to cancer. Seriously, I did grieve for them however, can’t say in a manner befitting of what a son’s love should be. My cats are my babies and after watching your Buddy tribute I’ve been crying all day pondering how I need to not take these little ones for granted cause chances are either if I go, say from cancer , or if I outlive them, it’s gonna kill me. I pre grieve more in dread at the thought of losing them then I ever did for any of my family. Sounds cold but I guess, it’s cause they’re dependent on me snd in humanity! God bless you!
@@petepotaczek5844 Pete, for what it’s worth…I have had to say goodbye to a few fur babies in my lifetime; and in my grief I learned that one of the most loving ways I could honor their life was to save another (although most times it took me awhile to reach that place)…so when that time does come…I hope at some point in the future you can embrace the love they shared with you and honour them by saving another. They never live long enough…but oh what joy and companionship and snuggles and love they share with us. All the best.
Vikki Andersen Thank you Vikki for watching Buddy's tribute. In my eyes he truly was beautiful, and yes, as it was for you he took a piece of my heart. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. 💔😥
Well my sweetest boy…today marks 5 years since I held you in my arms and kissed your face for the last time. Watching your video is like remembering yesterday…I remember every moment and so much more. Had it not been for your unforgiving health issues maybe you would still be here with me. You are the first image I see on my phone and my iPad. Do you remember Cali? She will be 21 in a few months and she has developed some serious illnesses that are common for older cats. Meeting all of her special needs reminds me of all we went through near the end…but it’s all about quality of life, and as long as she has that I will continue to take care of her. Every. Day. Buddy…I still miss your love 💔💔💔💋
@@abbygreil8548 Thank you Abby. Cali is a work in progress….we actually visited the vet yesterday to check her levels of her thyroid and kidneys. We are slightly adjusting her meds; but all things considered she is doing well for a kittie who is almost 22 yrs old. She is spoiled every day. How I wish Buddy could have been with me for this long…😪💔
Your cat buddy was a beautiful tuxedo cat I am so sorry that you lost him I know how it feels to lose a cat that you love very much I've left several in my time God bless you love and prayers to you
Sandra Dalton. Thank you Sandra for watching my beloved Buddy's tribute, and for your kind comment. He was (and always will be) very very special to me. 😢😢😢
@wanda Christmas. Thank you for watching my Buddy’s tribute; and thank you for your kind words. I truly want to believe that when my time comes I can be with my beloved fur babies again. ❤️💔
Kathryn, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby. Hopefully someday when you’re ready; you’ll be able to open your heart and rescue another fur baby in desperate need of a loving home. All the best to you.
@LeathurRokk. I am so sorry for the loss of your 2 furbabies. It must have been especially hard given the close proximity of having to say two goodbyes.😢 They are never with us long enough…. I hope when the time is right for you that you find another fur baby to rescue in their honor. You have love to give and there are so many fur babies that desperately need someone to call family. Best wishes.
@henzer12. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute and your kind words. I hold close to my heart that someday I will see him again. How I wish that the rainbow bridge had visiting hours… 💔❤️❤️
The most beautiful tribute to an amazing cat, what fun he had in his garden domain roaming free there. I hope in spirit he's stopping by there from time to time, playing and doing his things. ❣
@Larry Fleetwood. Thank you so much for your kind words. From your lips to God’s ears I hope you are right that from time to time Buddy visits me. I still miss him like it was yesterday 😥
Your touching tribute to Buddy brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. It’s so beautiful and I hope I can do the same for my puddas when they both cross the rainbow bridge 😢😢😢
Thank you so much Daryl for your kind words. I send you wishes for a good long healthy life with your puddas; filled with years of making loving memories. ❤️
medexamtoolsdotcom Thank you for saying that. Your kind words are appreciated. I have no idea what his first 4 years was like, but I sure wish I could have had another 8 years with him..........💔
@@debbiedel1953 I am now living with 2 cats, one a former farm cat named Bullet (I have some videos of him up), and he needs special care as well. Oddly enough (I don't know why your Buddy needed to be kept outdoors if it was more than psychological reasons) Bullet needs to spend some time outdoors because for some reason he has frequent asthma attacks inside my house but not outside, and I don't want to give him albuterol frequently because he also has a heart murmur and 2 leaky valves and I don't want to give him something that raises blood pressure and heartrate for that reason. But he also has hyperthyroidism so he needs doses of methimazole at specific times, so I can't afford to lose track of him. Fortunately, when he's outdoors, he stays pretty close and doesn't take big risks so it's always easy to find him, he's usually on my porch on top of my recycle bin, or in my front yard. He's 12 and a half years old now, but let's see if I can get him to live into the 2030s at least. His health is a delicate balancing act but it appears it is not one I can't manage.
@@medexamtoolscom I commend you for providing Bullet with such excellent care!! I hope you share a long and wonderful life together! To answer your question…when I rescued my Buddy, one of his major medical issues was the fact that he could not empty his bladder. Unfortunately that meant when he slept and his muscles relaxed, his bladder would empty right there where he laid. His back end would be covered in urine, as well as the area he was sleeping on. I did have a screened in porch built with his own access door so he could come and go as he wished. I also had a heated “condo” built for him so he had a warm place for wintertime. Once Buddy came in for dinner, I would close his access door because I wanted to keep him safe at night. The only times I brought him inside my house was to heal from his various surgeries…I would keep him in a bathroom, lay heavy plastic over the entire floor and then cover that with many layers of newspaper. He would use the litter box, but it was never enough. It’s crazy when I think back to all the extra work I did for Buddy’s care, but I would do it all over again if he was still with me. All the best to you, Bullet and your other furbaby. May you share many many happy years of love and laughter.
Buddy has SUCCESSFULLY brought me closer to my true love, Berlin in Germany! When I see this video, it empowers and strengthens the perfect and priceless parts of the city! Thank you, Buddy! You are truly amazing and extraordinary! GOD BLESS U!
TitusFam Thank you Dr. Titus for watching Buddy's tribute and for your kind words. I want to also thank you for all that you did to try to help Buddy overcome this last hurdle. He was very special to me, and I miss him every single day.
Your family is the most loving and caring family I have ever seen in my life I have three dogs and a male cat and I am an animal lover but your family is just so precious and God bless

@@doinapetrescu81 I am so sorry that you know of this great sadness. Our fur babies leave us way too soon 😢, but I hold out hope that my Buddy and your Poussin and Aimee are waiting by the rainbow bridge for the day we see them again. Peace to you.
i had a tuxedo cat for 17 years and he was my best friend. he's been gone almost 2 years now and i know the hurt never goes away completely. sorry for your loss.
Such a beautiful animal and Wonderful best friend. Love this tribute and I am dreading the day I have to make mine. Just terrific little gifts from God. Bless you until to meet him again.
@user-cd9sm1mb6f. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute. He was and still is my soul furbaby. Please take some comfort knowing that when the time comes…you gave your baby the best life possible; and know they will be waiting for you when your time comes. Peace and happy thoughts to you
Buddy was a wonderful kitty cat. You are such a gentle soul making him such a tribute even after all these years. One suggestion: I know another animal can't replace Buddy but it's such a wonderful thing to adopt a new pet. That's what I did after years of bereavement.
@aprendendoadvaita3983. Thank you for watching and commenting on my Buddy’s tribute. Yes, I agree with you about saving another. It took me about 2 years after Buddy crossed the rainbow bridge, but yes I did rescue another. And I love her dearly; but my feelings of loss over my Buddy remain with me…probably forever. 😢
I just want to say thank you so much for stopping by and showing some love on Mango's tribute video. I don't know even where to begin with Buddy because I'm literally in tears. I know without a shadow of a doubt the bond you and Buds had was beyond this universe... and still is. It was SO clear he loved you every second of his precious life. You two were destined to cross paths in this lifetime to look after each other and you did just that. I know the void can never be replaced but just know that Buds isn't gone. As a matter of fact, he's more alive than ever and around you more than you know. The day after Mango passed I will never forget seeing his spirit when I was crying in the living room all by myself. I know it was him telling me he was alright. Mango and Buds are just having some fun until it's our time to cross and see them again on the other side. Until then, I agree with you that it's our duty to honor our little furbabies by helping the most vulnerable, especially animals. Thank you again so much for sharing Buddy's story... he was incredibly special.
Veganhardware Tears and more tears as I read your words...such a kindness you give to me for understanding my loss. I so much want to believe that we will see them again... how I wish the rainbow bridge had visiting hours.... Namesta to your sweet Mango and my beloved Buddy. May they play and run free of pain until we see them again. Thank you again for you kindness. ❤️😥
It's comforting to know that there are wonderful people out there like yourself to share these stories with. This is how Mango's and Buddy's legacies will live on. Even more, we understand first hand what it's like losing such precious angels. They are not just animals (it's harder than losing a human). Just know that Buddy would want you to keep your head up and to shed tears of joy when you cry. The time you shared together can never be taken away from you even though your baby is no longer in this physical realm. Buds will always be in your heart and his spirit goes on. This I know so try to stay strong my friend. I'll be checking in on you and Buddy again soon.
so happy you decided to share buddy with us. i was lucky to lose my sims (13 yrs) passing as i had my arm around her. couldnt think to say anything but "i love you" over and over. i know she's thinking of me when i see the number 23
@axxwqw. Thank you so very much for watching and commenting on my Buddy’s tribute. I have no doubt that it was so hard for you to say goodbye to your beloved Sims after 13 years of living with her love. Like you, i held Buddy and just kept telling him over and over how much I loved him and showering him with kisses. Our fur babies are never with us long enough. 😪. Wishing you well.
Aww what a character and u sure have some great pics and videos of him, and i know how sucky it is to lose a pet …….forget the word pet because in most cases they become family! I had 2 british bulldogs and there's not a day that goes by that i don't think of them! Take care, krissy
krissy hake Thank you Krissy for watching my Buddy's tribute. You are right...he was family. He filled my days with unconditional love, and he always made me smile with his antics. At different times throughout each and every day I think of him. I will forever miss his love and companionship. I am so sorry about your 2 fur babies...British bulldogs are a special breed. I hope they are running in green pastures until you see them again. All the best, Debbie
Thank you Debbie for opening your heart and sharing these precious memories of your beloved Buddy. During these stressful times when humans can be so cruel it's beautiful to see this video even though bittersweet. God bless you and yours.
@Ms. Siege I thank you Ms. Siege for watching my Buddy’s tribute. You are so right, my memories of him are indeed precious to me every day. Thank you again. 😢
Jason's Blog's & More Thank you Jason. It will be 2 years in Sept that I had to say goodbye and still not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I miss him every day.😪😪😪😪
@Kyle Brett. I am so sorry about the loss of your best friend. I know the feeling…. I hope at some point you find it in your heart to rescue another fur baby in honor of your beloved best friend. Take care, and thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute. ❤️
Buddy, will forever be in your heart And you will forever be in his they say, when animals go to heaven. They take a picture of us with them to show All the other pets that have passed Before. Them and so they can have a part of us until we can Bera united with them in heaven and there. We never have to say Goodbye ever again together forever. Rest in peace, buddy.
@spark_6710. Thank you for watching my beloved Buddy’s tribute. He did have a sweet meow; and he made another sound when petting him around his head and neck that I had never heard before…it was a groan that I believe came from pure contentment and gratitude. Sadly I never recorded it…how much I wish I could hear that again. I’m sorry about your loss 7 years ago. I hope your memories of them are filled with lots of loving moments. Buddy’s 7th year will come in September. All the best to you. ❤️💔😥
Thank you so much for your very sweet & kind reply !! I watched this again & started crying because I could feel your such tender love for him and his towards you !! I originally watched this when I marathon watched videos & I was sleepy. My brain & eyes are more refreshed now ! Your cat,Buddy was a very agile cat & the way he ran was distinctive & reminded me of a bear cub or a bear !! You know they're fast,too !! It's funny that you mentioned that you regret for not recording his distinctive sounds. I do regret of that ,too !! My late Tiger made a very distinctive sounds whenever he ate !! It sounded like as if he was chewing some soft bones or something. And my other cat ( looked more like yours ) did that once right after Tiger's passing as if Tiger's spirit went into Daniel's body & trying to tell me l" No worries ! Tiger is still w us !! See !? Listen !!" Lol. He never did that .Also he gave me a silent meow which he never did ot before !! Tiger used to do that to me everyday !! And funny thing is now my mom does that when she eats !! Lol. Thank you so much again for this beautiful video !! I could totally get how special your Buddy was & why / how much you loved him & he loved you back the same !!! Amongst all the tribute videos to their cats ,yours stood out so much !! This was like a movie ,yet very candid .🙏💔💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I can’t express how much joy your words gave me! I made Buddy’s video for two reasons; first of course was so that I could see him again and relive our times together; but even more important to me was that other people could see him and know that his life mattered. With all of the pictures and videos I have of him I could have made his tribute twice as long, but I thought that would be pushing it. Sometimes a special animal comes into our lives and has such an impact on our heart and our wellbeing as it happened with you and Tiger. It is amazing and so very special how Tiger gave you a sign thru Daniel that he is and will always be with you. Their warm love stays with our memories forever. Now…if only the rainbow bridge had visiting hours…❤️❤️❤️💔😪
@debbiedel1953 Thank you so very much !! Very ,very touched !! 💘You just made my day !! Your video was so ~beautiful & so ~tender !! I am very sure that your video has touched so many hearts / souls !! Your cat was very lucky to be with you & come into your life as a very special part of your life !! I bet your Buddy knew it & felt it throughout his life !! It's always very sad to know that there are too many animals that aren't that lucky, even though every single of 'em deserves to be loved & appreciated. I bet you can make a series of videos of your beloved Buddy's !! But ,you really expressed your love & fantastic relationship you had with Buddy in just one video ,so beautifully !! Thank you so much again !! 💖🙏🙏💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🐈🐈⬛💕💞
@spark_6710 I am the one to thank you for taking the time to watch and then share your kind, generous thoughts with me. You have made my day! Many blessings to you and any future furbabies who may come to share your life. ❤️
I lost my baby 2 days ago. The pain is nothing like I have felt before . The light has gone from my life. I see no meaning in anything. That is a beautiful beautiful baby you’ve got there. Al we. can do is know that they are waiting for us by the rainbow bridge.♥️🙏🏼
@faux rookie. I am so very sorry for the recent loss of your sweet fur baby. I totally understand the emptiness you feel, I also felt such heartbreak. 😭. It took me awhile, but eventually I rescued another fur baby in Buddy’s honour. Hopefully, when your heart is ready, you will rescue another baby in need; their love can help to restore your heart….. Until we see our babies again…. Wishing you peace.
@@debbiedel1953 I know that my baby is at the rainbow bridge. He is not in pain anymore,thats the only thing that keeps me going.Thankyou so much for your kind words,meams the world to me. We will see our babies again,I know we will.❤
@@debbiedel1953 Franko september 2018 . Hed been missing a week when he returned home but with horrific tail pull injuries, tail was broken nerves dead at the top near his bottom, vet reckoned not caught in door etc nor bumped on the roads.. but some vile being yanking tail hard with force and swung about. Never felt grief, sadness and real anger like it before, ever. Heart broken.. awful awful time, so hard & took a very long time coming to terms. Remembrance videos are on my channel .. if you'd like to see him. Description below video tells a bit more about what happened.💔On Playlist - My Cats Goodbye my poor wee cat Franko " I will see you again"
@betty blue Easton OMG I just watched your loving tribute to Franco! He was sooo beautiful and your connection with him was so very obvious 😭. The mutual love you had for each other is not always obtainable with a cat, but you definitely had it. I. can. not. imagine how you come to terms with what some vile SOB did to Franko 🤬🤬🤬 I totally understand how you felt a level of anger and grief that you’ve never felt before!!! Just the thought of that cruelty makes me shake and my teeth clench wanting justice for my baby. Keep Franko’s beautiful memories close; and know that he will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge when you will be with him again. Wishing you peace. ❤️💔
Vikki Andersen. 😊 Yes, he interacted and responded to me in some ways that was more like a dog then a cat. I think that stemmed from his gratitude for being rescued. ❤️
Cats are the best 🐈 animals of the world 🌎. They are our friends and we love them so much. It was midnight when I saw the video and I was crying like a child.Your Buddy will never be forgotten. 😔
I really really enjoyed this video of Buddy...My Harley was alot like him....just take off running for no reason..lol showing off. Harley was a stray too..he had a previous owner at one time .Buddy was a fun cat as was Harleyb alot of love and personality ! I lost him Dec. 28 2020 if that year wasn't bad enough. I still grieve and live alone with no other pets so I really notice his absence....Thankyou for sharing a bit Buddy's life with the world .....it made me smile
Ryan, thank you! You made my day with your comments about my beloved Buddy!! Given the very recent loss of your beloved Harley, I’m glad that this video brought you a smile and helped you reminisce about all the shenanigans; and love and personality that was Harley. My Buddy has now been gone 3.5 years but I still miss his love every day. He was very special to me. In Harley’s honor I hope in time you will find it in your heart to rescue another fur baby. You have so much love to give and our rescued pets have so much love and gratitude to give. Wishing you all the best. Namaste.
Buddy seemed so happy running every where ! Great video ! Harley and I would take long walks through the woods like a dog would. He did fight ANYTHING ( cats, hunting dogs,even a possum ,roosters)in the yard...it was HIS kingdom I use to say. He would holler at me to take walks or even by mid a fire in the stove.He stalked deer and I wondered what he would do if he caught one. He licked my forehead as I slept,purring, he always sought out my coat to lay on.He was stand off to people except me....He was sweet but Hell on wheels..lol he watched me work on stuff...always interested in what I was doing..Watching Buddy I seen the same "wildness"...That made him so much fun ! For a small animal he left a big hole in my heart. I will get another one day...
@@ryanfarmer4691 You were right on point Ryan with the similarities between Harley and Buddy. I have so many clips of Buddy running and climbing trees for the pure enjoyment of it; and like Harley he considered the yard as his domain. Buddy was a skilled hunter (he probably learned that from when he had to fend for himself), and much to my dismay he killed a lot of healthy adult squirrels. I couldn’t stop him from doing that other then warning the squirrels when I witnessed him hunting them. Harley sounds like an really awesome kitty, and you gave him a wonderful life...that’s really all we can hope for. Hold your memories close; and when the time is right to rescue another you’ll know. Rest in peace Harley....your connection with your human was real and he will never forget you. 💔
Tyvm for the video. My cat of 18 years died a year ago, on March 16. I tried to get him euthanized at a vet clinic literally 30 seconds from my house, but they said they could not do it for two weeks. I told him he would not last another 24 hours, but they did not care. I ended driving him 45 minutes away the next morning, and big Norman hated car rides. But he was so weak and just ready to go, he did not put up much of a fuss. I had to go to work and pretend everything was ok after it was all over, and that was a long and hard day. Pets are family and it hurts to see them go. Love to all.
@ScottieSorrell-wr6jw. Oh my goodness…i am so sorry…thru your words I could feel the heartbreak you felt from the loss of your beloved Norman; and I could also feel the bond you shared with him. 18 years is a long time for a cat…and a testament to the great care that you gave him. Sometimes a very special furbaby comes into our lives and for some reason we grow a connection that is hard to explain. Remember him with a smile knowing that you shared a wonderful life together; and at some point in the future I hope you can open up your heart again and rescue an animal in need. It would be a beautiful way to honour Norman’s life. All the best to you.
@@debbiedel1953 Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I know you miss your cat in the same way I miss mine. We are blessed to spend some time with them but also cursed in that our life expectancy is greater than theirs, but at least we got to share some great quality time and love. All the best,
@what you talking about, Willis. Thank you for your words of comfort and kindness…it means so much to me that other people in this world hold the love for their pets as important as I do.
Know in your heart you gave him the best life.and when you cross the rainbow bridge he will be waiting for you.purring away and rubbing up against your leg.i miss my cats.ive got three more.so more heartache to come.i dont know why I do it too myself.much love deb.your my kind of gal.xxxx
It's so sad that nobody gave you enough attention for this video,Seeing a loved one die is very sad and.i can understand it,I hope you make more great content.
@@Yuh-l8n Thank you for watching. I sincerely appreciate every 👍 and I read and usually comment on everyone’s posts. Never did I anticipate this happening; but when people watch and comment about my Buddy’s tribute, somehow it helps to keep him close to me. Thank you ❤️💔😢

To my bubbles I love and miss you love mummy pets leave paw prints on your heart Marmite and bowbow miss you you're never forgotten IAM sorry I cry 😭 a lot for you .your my pal the queen of the house bubbles by name bubbles by nature X
He hunt squirrels to survive. Cats outside last less. I had a stray inside and when I found a kitty and kept him . My stray cat never attacked the kitty. Buddy was beautiful 🖤🩶🤍🐈. I lost my baby girl almost 8 months ago, I think of her everyday.🕊
I often get asked why I couldn’t bring Buddy to live inside my home and the answer is two fold. The first reason was because of my 2 inside only cats; one of them being a 9 year old feral rescue who was terrified of anything other then me. Not knowing anything about Buddy’s history, I was fearful of what he might expose my kitties too. The second reason (and the top reason) was because of Buddy’s medical history which I learned after an emergency vet visit (blood in his urine). I learned he was a male; about 4 years old, and at some point his previous owner had perineal urethrostomy surgery performed due to a urine blockage. Our medical journey is too long to go into here, but suffice it to say that over the years I had 3 more corrective surgeries performed trying to repair his problem. Basically Buddy had problems emptying his bladder, so when he slept his urine would flow freely out of him right where he laid; and I’m not talking about a few drips of urine. He would wake up with his backside soaked in urine. This would happen every day. No surgery could repair this. There is also a 3rd reason…Buddy was a killer/predator. I don’t know how long he had to survive outside on his own, but he was a fierce fighter/hunter. Unfortunately on more than one occasion I had witnessed him catching and killing healthy adult squirrels. He knew how to use his claws and teeth, and I couldn’t take the chance that he may hurt one of my other kitties. Because of these reasons we could not bring him inside, but we did provide him with a screened in porch for protection at night (you can see him entering his door in the video); and we built him an insulated heated “condo” for the colder weather. I loved him like no other and did my best to protect him and provide a loving and safe home for him. I miss him every day.
Will you ever post again?
@@andynachos2045 ?? I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your question.
@@debbiedel1953 On this channel, will you ever upload again?
I honestly don’t know.
Today marks 4 years since I held you in my arms for the last time. I kissed your face over and over and told you how much I loved you and you were such a good boy. Our bond was so very very special. You could never be an inside cat because of your health issues; and even though you could go wherever you wanted, you always came to me when I called. You would lay on the front step waiting for me to get home from work, and then come over to greet me. I am so glad we lived on a private wooded lot on a dead end street where there was little car traffic, but somehow you knew to stay clear of cars. You were definitely one smart kitty cat. I remember our goodbye like it was yesterday Buddy…and still not a day goes by that I don’t silently speak your name. I hope you are waiting by the rainbow bridge to greet me when my time comes. Somehow I have no doubt that you will be there. I love you with all my heart and miss you everyday. 😢😢😢
Bless you for taking care of him those eight years. It takes a special kind of person. You can see from the video how bonded you two were! Sorry he left. We put my dog Buddy to sleep on March 29, 2021 due to multiple medical problems. We were very lucky to get 17 years with him but I still cry everyday missing him like crazy and just can't get over it. II don't think the pain ever stops does it? :(
@@robertbalsome6857 Robert, I am so very sorry about the loss of your beloved Buddy. Seventeen years reflects the good healthcare that you provided to him, but no matter how long our fur babies are with us…it is never enough…they always leave us too soon. My Buddy has been gone 4 years now, and although the gut retching pain does lessen in time, what remains is a deep sadness at the lost of time together. My sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved friend. 😢💔
@@debbiedel1953 Thank you so much for the kind words! I will always love him and miss him everyday of my life! As you will your Buddy!

Six years, Buddy!!!Falling in love more and more with God, you and life itself!!!!!Really happy that you are having a perfect time in heaven with all your friends! Your playful mischief is making everybody happy, smile and laugh!!!
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching ❤️
Hey Buds…sadly we now have hit the 6 yr date. Just realised that if you had remained illness free you would be 18 yrs old now; which would have been so doable. How much I wish we could have had more time together. I’m not feeling well today so this will be short….I love you, I miss you terribly, and I know you will be waiting for me when my time comes. Forever and ever you have my heart.❤❤❤😢
I‘m sorry for your loss 😢 I know that it still hurts even after 6 years 😢 and thank you for sharing your digital memories with us. I’ve gone through this 4 times already and it never gets easier. I know nothing can replace your bud, but if you didn’t already, please consider to open your home and your heart for a new cat. It seems you have much love to give and there are so many cats out there looking for a loving home.. Stay healthy.
@@crnxhh83 @crnxhh83. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute and for your kind words. After less than one year after saying goodbye to my Buddy, a feral kitten did come into my life. We rescued her from a colony that hung around a restaurant where the restaurant owner was preparing to have a turkey shoot on his property and he wanted the cat colony gone 😬. This young cat was friendly enough (enticed by food) so we could get her in a carrier and brought her home. Now…2 years later she is my lap cat and very demanding when she wants to be petted or brushed 😁. And I still have my other SPCA rescue who will soon be celebrating her 22nd birthday. She is a work in progress health wise, but as long as she has quality of life I will stick by her. Unfortunately the cost of love is the heartache of saying goodbye. Thank you again for watching Buddy’s goodbye 💔😢. Best wishes
@@debbiedel1953 I'm very happy to hear you make another cats life a joy. 22 years is an epic age, which tells a lot about how you care about your pawed family members. I'm sure buddy knows he had the best life possible with you loving him and will be waiting for you. I adopted a 1 year old furball where the previous owners couldn't handle his behaviour. they told me he'll probably never be a lap cat. 2 years later now, he is jumping on my lap before getting out of bed every morning, demanding to be petted.
@@crnxhh83 I am not surprised at all that you were able to show this furbaby what a loving home felt like; and he shows his appreciation to you every time he wants your love ❤️
Hugs
Buddy loved you, I appreciate your message of love for him, this video.❤
Thank you Matt. I like to think that he did; and that he understood how much I loved him. 💔
Hey sweetie pie...I miss you today as much as I did 8 months ago when I had to say goodbye. The warmer weather is here...I can see you laying on the deck...or lounging on the front steps waiting for me to get home from work...or calling out to me when I came outside. In my mind I can see you everywhere... I can honestly say that still not a single day has gone by when I haven't thought of you numerous times. I know that at some point I need to rescue another furbaby to help fill this emptiness in my heart. But no matter what the future holds for me...you will always be a part of me that is missing. I love you Buds......😢
SERIOUSLY GOD BLESS U AND BUDDY!
Awww! 😢😿💔
Adorable cat! All cats and dogs go to heaven!
Oh this video just melted my heart!!! Such a beautiful baby thank you for sharing!!!

@ginatober6752. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute and your kind words. We did have an amazing life and an incredible connection…how I wish we could have grown old together ❤️😢
These videos of Buddy and his photos are wonderful. ❤ I know it’s been six years but I loved seeing this today. He was so special and he needed a big friend because of his health problems and thankfully he had all your support and love. He loved your laugh very much and he would do almost anything to hear you laugh. It made him so happy. ❤

@SongMom8. Thank you for watching and your kind comments. I know that Buddy was fortunate to have found me…but I was just as blessed …his love, devotion and gratitude for saving him filled my heart with soooo much love. I miss feeling so special 😢💔
Hello there, first of all thank you for sharing the story about Buddy. I cried. He reminds me so much of the pack leader I take care of every day for the last 9 years, a total of 6 cats. The pack leader, Blackie, is a Tuxedo cat like buddy was. Looking at him in your videos and photos one can see he was loved and taken care of. Without you in his life I am sure he would of lived a shorter and less enjoyable life. He looked like he appreciated that very much and rewarded you with his purrs, snuggles and companionship. Don't think he could have asked for more. Be proud of that, just like Buddy was that you were his human. One day, when your time comes like it will for all of us, I am sure Buddy will be waiting for you on the other side of the rainbow ready to have new adventures with you. All the best from Croatia ❤
@Valerya7777. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words! You are so right…everyday Buddy showed me how much he appreciated a safe place to call home. I could go on and on and on about how smart he was and all the different ways he showed me his gratitude for saving him. We grew so close…and he made me feel very special. Our love was mutual; and I will miss him everyday until we are together again. I wish you well with your pack…they are very fortunate to have you! All the best to you from USA ❤️
So sorry for the loss of your precious cat buddy now he has crossed the rainbow Bridge but he is with his furry friends now sending you all my love and thoughts rip little man he will never be forgotten because you loved him so much goodnight and God bless x to you his owner sending you a big hug from me hope it helps

Your cute Norwegian forest cat was so gorgeous. I'm sure seeing his pics bring back all the sweet memories. But remember he was a God's gift to you, that brought u happiness. And his absence (as sad that is) is what made those times special. Anyway, was crying with a smile watching this. It's 3 in the morning here.

Wow Buddies story was so beautiful and made me shed some tears. Seeing those videos of Buddy, you could absolutely see how much of a beautiful spirit he was and how happy and energetic he was. You gave Buddy an amazing chance at life taking care of him and giving him the love he needed. I know what it's like to lose an animal lost my dog of 11 years last May of 2023 and I am still not over his loss. God is good, Jesus prepared a place for us in Heaven where all of our pets and family members await us and where everyone will be young again and we will be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Hallelujah.

Well sweetie...it's now been one year since you crossed over the rainbow bridge. Still not a day passes that I don't think of you numerous times. You are on my ipad & my phone - I see you there everyday. When I leave the house I tell you how much I miss you and love you; and when I come home I see you lounging on the front steps waiting for me. The emptiness of your passing is still with me. I wish the rainbow bridge had visiting hours. I miss you Buds. I suppose I always will :( :( :(
Aww that made me cry
Me too.
Beautifull people. Thanks God.

So lovely cat, it s sadness when animals go to the other side. R I P
Thank you Cheere.
Ten Mondays have come and gone since I had to say goodbye, yet the empty hole in my heart has gotten no smaller. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you my Buddy....I will forever miss the life we shared.
Cats don’t fear death the way we do. Treasure your memories.
I have been tossing around all the things I wanted to say knowing that your 2 yr rainbow crossing anniversary was coming soon; but when it's all said and done, basically nothing has changed in how I feel about you. Yes, I did rescue a 9 month old street cat whose days were numbered. Slowly she is learning to trust us, she will now sit on my lap sometimes, but don't hold her or kiss the top of her head. Hopefully that will come in time. It was in your honor Buddy that I opened my heart to another. Cali is still going strong at 17 yrs old. How I wish I had had that many years with you. So still, 2 years later, I think of you...I quietly speak your name to myself.... and I miss you every damn day. Love you my Buddy like no other....❤️😭❤️😭😭
Rest In Peace Buddy
He’s lucky to have you and you are luck to have him ❤
Yes, we were soulmates. I still miss him everyday. ❤️😢
Hello sweetheart love you. ❤
Oh how beautiful to see this lovely video....tears tears and more tears...I just lost my one cat of 18yrs....also rescue many cats.....I have a 6yr old rescue named Gracie....she is Buddys double...in looks and behaviour and love....wish I could send you a pic of her.... thank you for sharing your special fuuurrr kid with us in the world....God be with you.....
Linda Berg Thank you so much Linda for your kind words about my Buddy. This coming Sept will be 3 yrs since I had to say goodbye...and I still think of him at least once every day. He was so special to me and we had such a strong bond. I am so sorry about the recent loss of your 18 yr old baby. It is so difficult to say goodbye after being a loving part of your life for so long; you certainly must have given her a wonderful life!! I also have an 18 yo rescue (Callie), she’s doing ok but I can definitely see the signs of her age. And you have a Gracie...so do I!!! My Gracie rescue is I guess about 2 now, but she looks nothing like Buddy. I would love to see a picture of your Gracie!!!!!!! Do you have a picture of Gracie anywhere on UA-cam?
I feel your pain. I let my cat cross the rainbow bridge at home today. They are such wonderful souls, I know they loved us just as much as we loved them. Hugs
@genisis429. I’m so sorry that you had to say goodbye to your beloved baby. Thankfully you were able to help him/her cross while in the comfort of their home, where they knew love. Hugs to you too.
Rest in peace little cat
@weaponx2065 Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute. ❤️💔😢
It has now been 7 years Buddy since I kissed your face for the last time…oh how I wish you could still be here with me. 😢
When I lovingly made this video tribute of our life, I did it for two reasons. First so I could see and relive a smidgen of our time together, and second because I wanted other people to see how extraordinary you were. And wow have they said wonderful things about you Buddy!! They are complete strangers, yet they share with me kind words about you which brings me comfort…and I get to talk about you when most people would think I’m crazy still missing you after all these years.
When I said goodbye I told you that I would never forget you…I gave you a piece of my heart and you gave me your precious trust and love. Till we meet again Buds you will have my heart always.
Beautiful
Thank you for watching ❤️
The title alone told me I was going to cry if I watched, but I watched anyway. All cats are special, despite so many people saying they don't like cats because they're too independent and aloof. These are people that have never really known a cat. Cats can be just as loving and dedicated to their "people" as dogs are. And they are a lot less work. I'll take a cat over a dog any day of the week. I've been lovingly "owned" by eight wonderful cats over the last 45 years, and would not have traded a second of that time. Debbie, please tell me you got at least one cat since loosing Buddy. He would have wanted it that way.
@georgiadavison. Yes, cats can definitely have a very special bond with their owner. For me Buddy was solid proof of that. When you think about the fact that he had total freedom outside to go wherever he wanted (this freedom was due to the fact that with his medical issues he had no control over his bodily functions); yet when I called him he would come running. I believe Buddy’s devotion was his way of thanking me for rescuing him from an early and painful death. Georgia, it took me about 2 years to rescue another baby. She was living with a feral colony whose time on this earth was about to be cut short. She has completely adapted to the good life, and is now a lap cat and sometimes a pain in the butt. 😁. I also have another rescue from the SPCA who is now 21 yrs old. We are dealing with Cali’s hyperthyroidism and stage 3 kidney disease. But just like Buddy’s issues, I will continue with Cali’s care as long as she has quality of life. It’s all about the love you give and receive in return. Thank you for watching and commenting on Buddy’s tribute. Best wishes.
Miliions de regretes😢😢😢😢
Thank you. 💔❤️
Those eyes. Beautiful baby boy. They always love us more, these strays. Never wants us to get mad at them. They behave. They are grateful. They wait for us. That's why it is more painful once they leave us❤
@sugarandspice3274. You are so right! Buddy expressed his gratitude every day which made me love him even more. And the loss I feel without him has stayed with me over all these years. 💔
farewell buddy
5 years since you are in heaven, BUDDY! Have fun in heaven! Praying and venerating U as a PRIZED/PERFECT CREATION OF FATHER GOD!
Morning Deb.
I’m 56 and had been in prison over stupid addiction issues for over a decade until 2017.
A year ago a guy I knew abandoned his two cats, male n female siblings.
I only wished to feed and save them. W/ in weeks we were bonded.
I took their other recently abandoned brother in 6 weeks ago, and 5 months ago took a kitten “ Luna” jet black in as well.
I went from being a cat disliker to being a daddy to all four.
Your buddy tribute rocks and made me cry because only God knows what I’ll do when anything happens to one of these babies!
They punctually wake me up at three am every morning, whine all day, swarm me on the couch and cry to be fed constantly just like my child would do and I adore them.
God bless you and RIP BUDDY, gone too soon!
@petepotaczek5844. Congratulations for turning your life around. I am so glad for you and your fur babies that you found each other. You give them a wonderful life that they probably never would have had; and they give you love, gratitude and purpose in return. It is so rewarding to save a life ❤️. Thank you Pete for watching Buddy’s tribute…I will always feel his love. ❤️😢
@@debbiedel1953 thanks for the sentiment.
I don’t tell you this to elicit empathy whatsoever.
I’m simply telling you this to proclaim my love for our little munchkins.
I’ve lost my mother, father in a violent manner, I’ve lost 3 of my 9 sisters and one brother to cancer.
Seriously, I did grieve for them however, can’t say in a manner befitting of what a son’s love should be.
My cats are my babies and after watching your Buddy tribute I’ve been crying all day pondering how I need to not take these little ones for granted cause chances are either if I go, say from cancer , or if I outlive them, it’s gonna kill me.
I pre grieve more in dread at the thought of losing them then I ever did for any of my family.
Sounds cold but I guess, it’s cause they’re dependent on me snd in humanity!
God bless you!
@@petepotaczek5844 Pete, for what it’s worth…I have had to say goodbye to a few fur babies in my lifetime; and in my grief I learned that one of the most loving ways I could honor their life was to save another (although most times it took me awhile to reach that place)…so when that time does come…I hope at some point in the future you can embrace the love they shared with you and honour them by saving another. They never live long enough…but oh what joy and companionship and snuggles and love they share with us. All the best.
Such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful cat! His time may have been brief in this world but you made what time he had a good life. 👍
@raymondabella4684. Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me. I wish we had had more time…💔
BUDDY WAS A BEAUTIFUL 😺!!
@Linda Loe. Thank you Linda.
What a beautiful handsome boy he is all my fur babies have all taken a piece of my heart with them miss and love them all everyday 😻❤💔
Vikki Andersen Thank you Vikki for watching Buddy's tribute. In my eyes he truly was beautiful, and yes, as it was for you he took a piece of my heart. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. 💔😥
Well my sweetest boy…today marks 5 years since I held you in my arms and kissed your face for the last time. Watching your video is like remembering yesterday…I remember every moment and so much more. Had it not been for your unforgiving health issues maybe you would still be here with me. You are the first image I see on my phone and my iPad. Do you remember Cali? She will be 21 in a few months and she has developed some serious illnesses that are common for older cats. Meeting all of her special needs reminds me of all we went through near the end…but it’s all about quality of life, and as long as she has that I will continue to take care of her. Every. Day. Buddy…I still miss your love 💔💔💔💋
Cherish everyday w Cali even if it’s already been her last, 21 is beautiful.
Just because they are physically gone doesn’t mean they’re gone.
@@abbygreil8548 Thank you Abby. Cali is a work in progress….we actually visited the vet yesterday to check her levels of her thyroid and kidneys. We are slightly adjusting her meds; but all things considered she is doing well for a kittie who is almost 22 yrs old. She is spoiled every day. How I wish Buddy could have been with me for this long…😪💔
Your cat buddy was a beautiful tuxedo cat I am so sorry that you lost him I know how it feels to lose a cat that you love very much I've left several in my time God bless you love and prayers to you
@thereseulariolopez909. Thank you for watching and sharing a comment. Best wishes to you.

What a beautiful tribute.
@annanewcomer Thank you for watching and commenting on my Buddy’s tribute. I miss him every day.
Very beautiful fluffy cat he or she going to open even door to the owner
Maria, did you mean that Buddy would open up “heaven’s” door for me? If yes…I love that thought.
@@debbiedel1953 going to be there you pass way see him or she Again... You fluffy cat protect you see you everyday...
I'm so deeply sorry
Thank you @DefiantAngel87
Such a handsome guy. RIP.

May goodness & beauty surround Buddy always wherever he may walk. Bless you both
Thank you Diana ❤️
What a beautiful boy, He had his best life with you And I'm sure you will meet him again 🤗
@wanda Christmas. Thank you for watching my Buddy’s tribute; and thank you for your kind words. I truly want to believe that when my time comes I can be with my beloved fur babies again. ❤️💔
@@debbiedel1953 I feel the same way, take care 🙂
God be with you Buddy RIP
Thank you ❤️😢
He looks just like my fur baby wild thing i lost 12_23/2023. I still miss him soooo much
Kathryn, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby. Hopefully someday when you’re ready; you’ll be able to open your heart and rescue another fur baby in desperate need of a loving home. All the best to you.
@debbiedel1953 I
Have 6 now.
@@kathrynnard8059 How wonderful!!!! Thank you kind heart for your rescues. ❤️
So sorry about your pretty cat. I just lost my TabbyBoy 2 weeks ago. And 7 months ago Cassie the Cat died. It is empty not having any cats now.
@LeathurRokk. I am so sorry for the loss of your 2 furbabies. It must have been especially hard given the close proximity of having to say two goodbyes.😢 They are never with us long enough…. I hope when the time is right for you that you find another fur baby to rescue in their honor. You have love to give and there are so many fur babies that desperately need someone to call family. Best wishes.
Such a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing Buddy with us, and I am so sorry for your loss ❤ May you two meet again someday
@henzer12. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute and your kind words. I hold close to my heart that someday I will see him again. How I wish that the rainbow bridge had visiting hours… 💔❤️❤️
All my love and respect to those who dedicate their lives to befriending and caring for these beloved, four-legged souls.
Thank you… and may I also extend my respect to everyone who opens their heart to care for those forgotten furbabies.
The most beautiful tribute to an amazing cat, what fun he had in his garden domain roaming free there. I hope in spirit he's stopping by there from time to time, playing and doing his things. ❣
@Larry Fleetwood. Thank you so much for your kind words. From your lips to God’s ears I hope you are right that from time to time Buddy visits me. I still miss him like it was yesterday 😥
Your touching tribute to Buddy brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. It’s so beautiful and I hope I can do the same for my puddas when they both cross the rainbow bridge 😢😢😢
Thank you so much Daryl for your kind words. I send you wishes for a good long healthy life with your puddas; filled with years of making loving memories. ❤️
For an outdoor cat to live so long, you kept him safe well and gave him good care regardless.
medexamtoolsdotcom Thank you for saying that. Your kind words are appreciated. I have no idea what his first 4 years was like, but I sure wish I could have had another 8 years with him..........💔
@@debbiedel1953 I am now living with 2 cats, one a former farm cat named Bullet (I have some videos of him up), and he needs special care as well. Oddly enough (I don't know why your Buddy needed to be kept outdoors if it was more than psychological reasons) Bullet needs to spend some time outdoors because for some reason he has frequent asthma attacks inside my house but not outside, and I don't want to give him albuterol frequently because he also has a heart murmur and 2 leaky valves and I don't want to give him something that raises blood pressure and heartrate for that reason. But he also has hyperthyroidism so he needs doses of methimazole at specific times, so I can't afford to lose track of him. Fortunately, when he's outdoors, he stays pretty close and doesn't take big risks so it's always easy to find him, he's usually on my porch on top of my recycle bin, or in my front yard. He's 12 and a half years old now, but let's see if I can get him to live into the 2030s at least. His health is a delicate balancing act but it appears it is not one I can't manage.
@@medexamtoolscom I commend you for providing Bullet with such excellent care!! I hope you share a long and wonderful life together! To answer your question…when I rescued my Buddy, one of his major medical issues was the fact that he could not empty his bladder. Unfortunately that meant when he slept and his muscles relaxed, his bladder would empty right there where he laid. His back end would be covered in urine, as well as the area he was sleeping on. I did have a screened in porch built with his own access door so he could come and go as he wished. I also had a heated “condo” built for him so he had a warm place for wintertime. Once Buddy came in for dinner, I would close his access door because I wanted to keep him safe at night. The only times I brought him inside my house was to heal from his various surgeries…I would keep him in a bathroom, lay heavy plastic over the entire floor and then cover that with many layers of newspaper. He would use the litter box, but it was never enough. It’s crazy when I think back to all the extra work I did for Buddy’s care, but I would do it all over again if he was still with me. All the best to you, Bullet and your other furbaby. May you share many many happy years of love and laughter.
Buddy has SUCCESSFULLY brought me closer to my true love, Berlin in Germany! When I see this video, it empowers and strengthens the perfect and priceless parts of the city! Thank you, Buddy! You are truly amazing and extraordinary! GOD BLESS U!
Gorgeous 😻RIP little angel 🙏🙏🙏✝️

i had a tuxedo cat for 17 years and he was my best friend. he's been gone almost 2 years now and i know the hurt never goes away completely. sorry for your loss.
@DannyD714. Thank you Danny. Yes, missing the love of our best friend is forever 💔
Such a beautiful animal and Wonderful best friend. Love this tribute and I am dreading the day I have to make mine. Just terrific little gifts from God. Bless you until to meet him again.
@user-cd9sm1mb6f. Thank you for watching Buddy’s tribute. He was and still is my soul furbaby. Please take some comfort knowing that when the time comes…you gave your baby the best life possible; and know they will be waiting for you when your time comes. Peace and happy thoughts to you
Cute cat.
Oh what a handsome boy so sorry for your loss. He's gorgeous. RIP littleone. XX❤❤😢
Thank you ❤️😢
I’m so sorry for your loss 😢 we all know losing a pet is hard, we can never forget them. Stay strong, R.I.P Buddy ❤ Fly high 🕊️
@jsmeow9556. Yes 😢. Gone too soon and never forgotten. 😪💔❤️
Buddy was a wonderful kitty cat. You are such a gentle soul making him such a tribute even after all these years. One suggestion: I know another animal can't replace Buddy but it's such a wonderful thing to adopt a new pet. That's what I did after years of bereavement.
@aprendendoadvaita3983. Thank you for watching and commenting on my Buddy’s tribute. Yes, I agree with you about saving another. It took me about 2 years after Buddy crossed the rainbow bridge, but yes I did rescue another. And I love her dearly; but my feelings of loss over my Buddy remain with me…probably forever. 😢
I just want to say thank you so much for stopping by and showing some love on Mango's tribute video. I don't know even where to begin with Buddy because I'm literally in tears. I know without a shadow of a doubt the bond you and Buds had was beyond this universe... and still is. It was SO clear he loved you every second of his precious life. You two were destined to cross paths in this lifetime to look after each other and you did just that. I know the void can never be replaced but just know that Buds isn't gone. As a matter of fact, he's more alive than ever and around you more than you know. The day after Mango passed I will never forget seeing his spirit when I was crying in the living room all by myself. I know it was him telling me he was alright. Mango and Buds are just having some fun until it's our time to cross and see them again on the other side. Until then, I agree with you that it's our duty to honor our little furbabies by helping the most vulnerable, especially animals. Thank you again so much for sharing Buddy's story... he was incredibly special.
Veganhardware Tears and more tears as I read your words...such a kindness you give to me for understanding my loss. I so much want to believe that we will see them again... how I wish the rainbow bridge had visiting hours.... Namesta to your sweet Mango and my beloved Buddy. May they play and run free of pain until we see them again. Thank you again for you kindness. ❤️😥
It's comforting to know that there are wonderful people out there like yourself to share these stories with. This is how Mango's and Buddy's legacies will live on. Even more, we understand first hand what it's like losing such precious angels. They are not just animals (it's harder than losing a human). Just know that Buddy would want you to keep your head up and to shed tears of joy when you cry. The time you shared together can never be taken away from you even though your baby is no longer in this physical realm. Buds will always be in your heart and his spirit goes on. This I know so try to stay strong my friend. I'll be checking in on you and Buddy again soon.
Veganhardware ❤️❤️❤️😥
so happy you decided to share buddy with us. i was lucky to lose my sims (13 yrs) passing as i had my arm around her. couldnt think to say anything but "i love you" over and over. i know she's thinking of me when i see the number 23
@axxwqw. Thank you so very much for watching and commenting on my Buddy’s tribute. I have no doubt that it was so hard for you to say goodbye to your beloved Sims after 13 years of living with her love. Like you, i held Buddy and just kept telling him over and over how much I loved him and showering him with kisses. Our fur babies are never with us long enough. 😪. Wishing you well.
Aww what a character and u sure have some great pics and videos of him, and i know how sucky it is to lose a pet …….forget the word pet because in most cases they become family! I had 2 british bulldogs and there's not a day that goes by that i don't think of them!
Take care, krissy
krissy hake Thank you Krissy for watching my Buddy's tribute. You are right...he was family. He filled my days with unconditional love, and he always made me smile with his antics. At different times throughout each and every day I think of him. I will forever miss his love and companionship. I am so sorry about your 2 fur babies...British bulldogs are a special breed. I hope they are running in green pastures until you see them again.
All the best, Debbie
Thank u for posting it, so i could see it!
Thank you Debbie for opening your heart and sharing these precious memories of your beloved Buddy. During these stressful times when humans can be so cruel it's beautiful to see this video even though bittersweet. God bless you and yours.
@Ms. Siege I thank you Ms. Siege for watching my Buddy’s tribute. You are so right, my memories of him are indeed precious to me every day. Thank you again. 😢

Them and so they can have a part of us until we can Bera united with them in heaven and there. We never have to say Goodbye ever again together forever. Rest in peace, buddy.
What a beautiful cat !! What a sweet meow !! Sorry for your loss ! I've lost my cats 7 years ago ,but still think of 'em everyday. 💔💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
@spark_6710. Thank you for watching my beloved Buddy’s tribute. He did have a sweet meow; and he made another sound when petting him around his head and neck that I had never heard before…it was a groan that I believe came from pure contentment and gratitude. Sadly I never recorded it…how much I wish I could hear that again. I’m sorry about your loss 7 years ago. I hope your memories of them are filled with lots of loving moments. Buddy’s 7th year will come in September. All the best to you. ❤️💔😥
Thank you so much for your very sweet & kind reply !! I watched this again & started crying because I could feel your such tender love for him and his towards you !! I originally watched this when I marathon watched videos & I was sleepy. My brain & eyes are more refreshed now ! Your cat,Buddy was a very agile cat & the way he ran was distinctive & reminded me of a bear cub or a bear !! You know they're fast,too !! It's funny that you mentioned that you regret for not recording his distinctive sounds. I do regret of that ,too !! My late Tiger made a very distinctive sounds whenever he ate !! It sounded like as if he was chewing some soft bones or something. And my other cat ( looked more like yours ) did that once right after Tiger's passing as if Tiger's spirit went into Daniel's body & trying to tell me l" No worries ! Tiger is still w us !! See !? Listen !!" Lol. He never did that .Also he gave me a silent meow which he never did ot before !! Tiger used to do that to me everyday !! And funny thing is now my mom does that when she eats !! Lol.
Thank you so much again for this beautiful video !! I could totally get how special your Buddy was & why / how much you loved him & he loved you back the same !!! Amongst all the tribute videos to their cats ,yours stood out so much !! This was like a movie ,yet very candid .🙏💔💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I can’t express how much joy your words gave me! I made Buddy’s video for two reasons; first of course was so that I could see him again and relive our times together; but even more important to me was that other people could see him and know that his life mattered. With all of the pictures and videos I have of him I could have made his tribute twice as long, but I thought that would be pushing it. Sometimes a special animal comes into our lives and has such an impact on our heart and our wellbeing as it happened with you and Tiger. It is amazing and so very special how Tiger gave you a sign thru Daniel that he is and will always be with you. Their warm love stays with our memories forever. Now…if only the rainbow bridge had visiting hours…❤️❤️❤️💔😪
@debbiedel1953 Thank you so very much !! Very ,very touched !! 💘You just made my day !! Your video was so ~beautiful & so ~tender !! I am very sure that your video has touched so many hearts / souls !! Your cat was very lucky to be with you & come into your life as a very special part of your life !! I bet your Buddy knew it & felt it throughout his life !! It's always very sad to know that there are too many animals that aren't that lucky, even though every single of 'em deserves to be loved & appreciated.
I bet you can make a series of videos of your beloved Buddy's !! But ,you really expressed your love & fantastic relationship you had with Buddy in just one video ,so beautifully !!
Thank you so much again !! 💖🙏🙏💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🐈🐈⬛💕💞
@spark_6710 I am the one to thank you for taking the time to watch and then share your kind, generous thoughts with me. You have made my day! Many blessings to you and any future furbabies who may come to share your life. ❤️
I lost my baby 2 days ago. The pain is nothing like I have felt before . The light has gone from my life. I see no meaning in anything. That is a beautiful beautiful baby you’ve got there. Al we. can do is know that they are waiting for us by the rainbow bridge.♥️🙏🏼
@faux rookie. I am so very sorry for the recent loss of your sweet fur baby. I totally understand the emptiness you feel, I also felt such heartbreak. 😭. It took me awhile, but eventually I rescued another fur baby in Buddy’s honour. Hopefully, when your heart is ready, you will rescue another baby in need; their love can help to restore your heart….. Until we see our babies again…. Wishing you peace.

@@debbiedel1953 He really was a topper of a cat, absolutely beautiful. Debbie.. was his tail missing.? X
@betty blue Easton. Yes, I believe he was a Manx so he was probably born tailless
@@debbiedel1953 Franko september 2018 . Hed been missing a week when he returned home but with horrific tail pull injuries, tail was broken nerves dead at the top near his bottom, vet reckoned not caught in door etc nor bumped on the roads.. but some vile being yanking tail hard with force and swung about.
Never felt grief, sadness and real anger like it before, ever.
Heart broken.. awful awful time, so hard & took a very long time coming to terms.
Remembrance videos are on my channel .. if you'd like to see him.
Description below video tells a bit more about what happened.💔On Playlist - My Cats
Goodbye my poor wee cat Franko " I will see you again"
@betty blue Easton OMG I just watched your loving tribute to Franco! He was sooo beautiful and your connection with him was so very obvious 😭. The mutual love you had for each other is not always obtainable with a cat, but you definitely had it. I. can. not. imagine how you come to terms with what some vile SOB did to Franko 🤬🤬🤬 I totally understand how you felt a level of anger and grief that you’ve never felt before!!! Just the thought of that cruelty makes me shake and my teeth clench wanting justice for my baby. Keep Franko’s beautiful memories close; and know that he will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge when you will be with him again. Wishing you peace. ❤️💔
What a show off he was he definitely knew the camera was on him
Vikki Andersen. 😊 Yes, he interacted and responded to me in some ways that was more like a dog then a cat. I think that stemmed from his gratitude for being rescued. ❤️
Cats are the best 🐈 animals of the world 🌎. They are our friends and we love them so much. It was midnight when I saw the video and I was crying like a child.Your Buddy will never be forgotten. 😔
@kikixatz6693. Yes, yes, yes. Thank you Kiki. ❤😢
I really really enjoyed this video of Buddy...My Harley was alot like him....just take off running for no reason..lol showing off. Harley was a stray too..he had a previous owner at one time .Buddy was a fun cat as was Harleyb alot of love and personality ! I lost him Dec. 28 2020 if that year wasn't bad enough. I still grieve and live alone with no other pets so I really notice his absence....Thankyou for sharing a bit Buddy's life with the world .....it made me smile
Ryan, thank you! You made my day with your comments about my beloved Buddy!! Given the very recent loss of your beloved Harley, I’m glad that this video brought you a smile and helped you reminisce about all the shenanigans; and love and personality that was Harley. My Buddy has now been gone 3.5 years but I still miss his love every day. He was very special to me. In Harley’s honor I hope in time you will find it in your heart to rescue another fur baby. You have so much love to give and our rescued pets have so much love and gratitude to give. Wishing you all the best. Namaste.
Buddy seemed so happy running every where ! Great video ! Harley and I would take long walks through the woods like a dog would. He did fight ANYTHING ( cats, hunting dogs,even a possum ,roosters)in the yard...it was HIS kingdom I use to say. He would holler at me to take walks or even by mid a fire in the stove.He stalked deer and I wondered what he would do if he caught one. He licked my forehead as I slept,purring, he always sought out my coat to lay on.He was stand off to people except me....He was sweet but Hell on wheels..lol he watched me work on stuff...always interested in what I was doing..Watching Buddy I seen the same "wildness"...That made him so much fun ! For a small animal he left a big hole in my heart.
I will get another one day...
@@ryanfarmer4691 You were right on point Ryan with the similarities between Harley and Buddy. I have so many clips of Buddy running and climbing trees for the pure enjoyment of it; and like Harley he considered the yard as his domain. Buddy was a skilled hunter (he probably learned that from when he had to fend for himself), and much to my dismay he killed a lot of healthy adult squirrels. I couldn’t stop him from doing that other then warning the squirrels when I witnessed him hunting them. Harley sounds like an really awesome kitty, and you gave him a wonderful life...that’s really all we can hope for. Hold your memories close; and when the time is right to rescue another you’ll know. Rest in peace Harley....your connection with your human was real and he will never forget you. 💔
Cute
Tyvm for the video. My cat of 18 years died a year ago, on March 16. I tried to get him euthanized at a vet clinic literally 30 seconds from my house, but they said they could not do it for two weeks. I told him he would not last another 24 hours, but they did not care. I ended driving him 45 minutes away the next morning, and big Norman hated car rides. But he was so weak and just ready to go, he did not put up much of a fuss. I had to go to work and pretend everything was ok after it was all over, and that was a long and hard day. Pets are family and it hurts to see them go. Love to all.
@ScottieSorrell-wr6jw. Oh my goodness…i am so sorry…thru your words I could feel the heartbreak you felt from the loss of your beloved Norman; and I could also feel the bond you shared with him. 18 years is a long time for a cat…and a testament to the great care that you gave him. Sometimes a very special furbaby comes into our lives and for some reason we grow a connection that is hard to explain. Remember him with a smile knowing that you shared a wonderful life together; and at some point in the future I hope you can open up your heart again and rescue an animal in need. It would be a beautiful way to honour Norman’s life. All the best to you.
@@debbiedel1953 Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I know you miss your cat in the same way I miss mine. We are blessed to spend some time with them but also cursed in that our life expectancy is greater than theirs, but at least we got to share some great quality time and love. All the best,
Oh how sweet of you too send him memorials.when my cats died I cried non stop for weeks.thinking of you.
@what you talking about, Willis. Thank you for your words of comfort and kindness…it means so much to me that other people in this world hold the love for their pets as important as I do.

He hunt squirrels to survive. Cats outside last less. I had a stray inside and when I found a kitty and kept him . My stray cat never attacked the kitty. Buddy was beautiful 🖤🩶🤍🐈. I lost my baby girl almost 8 months ago, I think of her everyday.🕊
I understand completely. 😥 Our furbabies are never with us long enough. 😥😥
