Wobble. An apt name for a 3 legged cat! We lost you just days before we lost our pony, Chanti. It
was an awful week - it really was.
You had been through so very much even before we got you. We took you in as an obese cat from cat
protection league in april 2003. You settled straight in but took no nonsense off anyone else but
me. Slowly but surely you lost all the excess weight and really started to enjoy life. We had to
giggle at you sometimes - you had been a stray before you lost your leg and obviously at times it
was hard for you to find food - so much so, you used to growl at the birds and chase them off incase
they took the bread we had thrown out onto the grass. lol
Your next hurdle was when you were ill, resulting in yet another vet stay. This time results found
you were diabetic. You went on a special diet and I had to give you insulin injections twice a day.
You never minded and always purred. Even the vets had a soft spot for you!
The girls loved you to bits and you became somewhat of a star with your story in the newspaper about
how this 3 legged beast had found a second chance with us. Little did we know how soon it was to
end.
You came in with a limp so with you only having the one hind leg, I knew it needed to be sorted
soon. The vets and I presumed you had a grass seed stuck inside your leg so you were admitted the
following day for an operation to remove it. Whilst under the anastetic, I received a phone call
from teh vet to say there was no grass seed as an xray had been performed. What they did find
though, was that your leg was moving in directions it shouldnt have been and your nerves and
ligaments were severed from where they should have been.
This being a huge problem as it would have needed operating on to save the leg but this was the only
leg you had to compensate the lost one and being diabetic, it would have taken a long time to heal
if at all. The vets decided it would be best to end your pain. Even the vet left the room crying -
we would all miss you so much and it seemed so unfair that after all the stress you had been through
in your short life, it had to end so soon. You should have been able to age gracefully with us.
I just made it in time to give you a last cuddle - just like you always liked it and you went to
sleep purring. God Bless wobs. another missed friend. xxxx

Beyond the Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

~ Lend Me A Kitten ~

I will lend to you for a while
a kitten, God said.
For you to love while she lives,
and mourn when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call her back,
take care of her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you
and should her stay be brief,
you'll always have her memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below
I want this kitten to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowds life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love,
nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
my kitten home again?

And my heart replied,
"My Lord, Thy Will Be Done."
For all the joys this kitten brings,
the risk of grief I'll run.
I'll shelter her with tenderness,
I'll love her while I may
And for the happiness that I've known,
forever grateful stay.

But should you call her back
much sooner than I planned,
I'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.
If by my love I've managed
your wishes to achieve,
in memory of her sweet sweet love,
please help me while I grieve.

When my cherished kitten
departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul
for me to love all her life.
