Kelby is an angel

MinnesnowtaKits May 18, 2012 12:19 PM

Kelbin Akeru~Zeus Snowta
"Kelby"
5-19-2001 to 5-18-2012

Kelby has joined his daddySam and mamaMaddie and many siblings at the Rainbow Bridge this morning. Kelby is survived by wifekit Ashley Catnip, many siblings, many friends, and his heartbroken SnowtaMom and SnowtaDad and human siblings.

from SnowtaMom: This was so unexpected and sudden, I don't have a poem or anything. We are very very sad and upset at this sudden loss of a special cat. The only thing we are not sad about is that Kelby is now out of severe pain and a hopeless situation, and this was the only way. I am going to miss him so much ... tomorrow would have been his 11th birthday .... He'll have a good birthday at the Bridge, at least.

::::Ashley grabs Loki and Grizz into her paws and hugs them very tightly and softly they all cry together. Everyone's fur is soaking wet because they just can not stop the tears. Then Ashley slowly looks upward to the sky and whispers softly, hoping her hubbykit can hear her meows. "My darling Kelby...how can I go on without you? But go on I must, for our boys. But I will miss you with every fiber of my being and will never ever stop loving you. The hole in my heart is as big as the ocean now. Watch over us from The Bridge and know that I will never forget what a wonderful hubbykit and daddykit you were. I love you Kelby and will keep you forever in my heart".::::

{{{{{Pamela & family}}}} I just have no words to tell you how sad I am over the loss of Kelby. My heart goes out to you. He was a big part of my life through Ashley and I will dearly miss him. :'(

My heart hurts for you right now. I am so sorry to hear of this sudden loss. It is good that he is no longer in pain, but it is just too soon at age 11. May the love you will receive on here and the love from your other kitties help the hole in your hearts heal.

What the hay?? Why is you heer, Kelby?? You iz only one day shy of 11 years old and that is way too young for youse to bee showing up here in Heaben. Well since you insist upon being here, I will show you around and reunite you with some of yourse best friends and sibling-kits of whom you most certainly already know and remember. Even though you miss youse Mommy and Daddee, and they miss youse more than you can imagine, you will have fun up heer with all of us. Say! Do you happen to know Texas Hold-Em? We iz all playing poker tonight and you iz certainly invited to join us. We meet at 8:00 on Cloud Nine. Hope to sees you there.

I am so sorry to hear this, was so hoping that he would make a turn around and be okay. GLOWS to all ob youse. Kelby doesn't need GLOWS anymore. He iz happy and heafy at da Bridge and can eat anything and eberyting dat he wants I bet dey all habe a gweat big fud party fur hiz birfday.

MinnesnowtaKits May 19, 2012 05:12 PM

Fanks, effurry, fur the nice thots, glow, and hugs. Kelby was buried this mornin in the pet semetary, next to EmmaJean.

Earlier in the day while SnowtaMom was gardenin, a swallowtail butterfly appeared, and started flittin and dansin around her fur several minnits. It then zoomed off across the yard and flewed around Dad. We is purrty sure it was Kelby comin to tell us that he was doin okay. Then the Kelby-butterfly fluttered off with the breeze, no doubt to sellybrate his 11th purrday today at the Bridge with his frends.

SnowtaMom havin a diffycult time with the suddenness, but fings will be okay in time.

Fanks again ... {{{ }}}

Lubby, Larry

We hope Kelby is having a grand old time celebrating his 11th birthday with his Bridge friends. No doubt it's a typical MCV celebration too complete with Pepper's antics for entertainment.
We wish we could make your mom feel better NOW though, but we know only time can do that. Meantime we are sending her all the hugs, purrs and Glow we can.
