Oscar, you were a great cat, and we were lucky to have your company the past few years. I’ll miss you — like how you’d patiently wait for me to finish my cereal every morning so you could have the last few licks of milk. (And even the times you didn’t wait so patiently and climbed up on the table, sat on my newspaper, and tried to steal my milk before I was even finished!)
We love you cat. Why did you have to go and get yourself killed? I was looking forward to so many more long years with you. Every since August 16th, 2006, the day you were adopted, I knew that you would be one of my best friends. And now, it feels like I lost a family member. I’m really going to miss you Oscar. You were the BEST cat. I already miss your meow and your purr. And the way you looked at me like I was so stupid compared to him. I love you Oscar. You taught me how to live a life; to be surrounded by people you love you, to show one’s affection, and to live every day doing what you love. And for you Oscar, that was going outside. Exploring the world beyond the back door. You will forever remain in my heart.
Oscar, I know you weren’t my cat, but you were still my friend. I’ll miss how you’d greet me whenever I go to Anne Marie’s house, and how you’d get so crazy when given catnip. I’ll miss looking into your emerald green eyes, probably the prettiest greenest cat eyes I’ve ever seen. I’ll miss you, Oscar, and I know everyone else will too :’c
Oscar, I really didn’t know you that well, but I think you were a great cat, and one I’d probaly never forget. I hope you’re doing well in heaven, and we all miss you!!!
Oscar, you were such a good cat. You gave me so many fond memories over the four years we had the pleasure of owning you. I hope that the man who ran over you doesn’t feel guilty. It wasn’t his fault. God just wanted another campanion, and we all know that you Oscar, would fufill that. I can’t wait until I see you again. And together with Mom, Dad, and Patrick, we cross the rainbow bridge. You’re gone now, but your spirit remains. Sometimes I’ll open a door and I swear I feel you run past my feet. Or I will hear a faint sound of the bell that was on your collar. Oh Oscar, I miss you terribly. I can’t believe you are gone. It hasn’t sunk in yet that I have to wake up every morning now, and not hear your affectionate meow. Not for a long while will I get to stroke your fur again and hold you. I hope you are happy beloved kitty cat. It was just your time. I still feel a bit empty inside without my friend, but I know that you will always be with me. I hope that you enjoy yourself in the field and valleys by the rainbow bridge, and that you are happy until the rest of us join you once more. You really were just the best cat. The BEST cat. In the words of my aunt “an independant thinker and affectionate pal”. That’s you right there Oscar. Farwell my feline friend, until me meet again.
I will love you Oscar Hawley eternally. Thank you for your companionship over the years. There will always be a special part of my heart dedicated solely to you Oscar kitty cat. I love you.
Oscar, despite the fact that I was allergic to you, I did like the small window of time we had together. Whether it was slowly peeking around a corner to find you, or having you show up at my feet, you were always there. I know I didn’t know you for very long, but you will have a special place in my heart. Rest in Peace Oscar.
I still miss you Oscar. You weren’t here this morning to mew at me about not getting you your food on time. You should know kitty cat, that there is a hole in my heart in the shape of you. How can I say goodbye to such a loving affectionate pal?! How is life supposed to go on when such a big joy has been removed? Well, people always say that when God takes something out of your hands, He’s making room for something better. Farwell my Feline Friend.
Hi Oscar, it’s me again. I read a book today called Cat Heaven. And I like to think that’s where you are. I hope you are having fun and that you aren’t in any pain. You were a great friend. It’s hard not to dwell on losing you. Everyone is reminding me of all the fond memories. I know that you are still with me too. And you should know that you touched so many lives, not just ours. Thank you Oscar for being there when I needed a place to cry on. Thank you for entertaining me and always brightening my day. I know I’m crying now, but in a few years I’m going to look back on your marvelous life that was a blessing to me, and just smile. And I smile now thinking about how lucky I was to have you. It’s hard waking up in the morning and not seeing you. And having you not be there at night when we are watching T.V. You were such a support to me Oscar. I wish you were still here with me right now. It’s too difficult to believe that I’m never going to stroke your incredibly soft fur again, or look into those amazing emerald eyes, or trap your tail between my fingers and have you get mad. Boy this is a hard loss old pal. But I’m so happy that one day I will get to tell my children about you, and the joy you brought to my life. I know that you are just going to have a blast until we join you. But, that doesn’t really make me feel any better now. You were such a reliable companion. And you never judged me, or told my secrets. You never hurt me. I’m going to miss your purr, and having you wake up other girls and sleep overs. Thank you Oscar for touching my life and so many others. You were the BEST cat. And every time I post a comment, I say it. And it’s true. It’s hard looking at your pictures and having to bear the idea that your gone. I’m not done crying yet, but I know that I will be soon. And then I can truly look back at the four years we spent together and remember all the happy moments you gave me. I love you kitty cat. And it’s hard not having you here. I always thought that you’d be around far after I left for collage; everyone did. And I feel bad that I didn’t fully appreciate your presence when you were here. But I do now, and all I can do is thank you for blessing my life. You were a great friend. And I know that your spirit is on my lap right now purring. See you at the pearly gates Oscar. I love you and will always cherish our memories together.
Love forever,
Anne Marie
Oscar, I couldn’t believe it when I first heard you past on to Kitty Heaven. I thought is was some cruel joke. After confirming your death, I was devestated. To much to even cry. My friends and I all miss you. Even Ginger does. Going to the Hawley residence won’t be the same anymore. No anoyingly loud meows or furbals in your face. As of now, I know that I too will see you on the other side of the rainbow bridge with God. I don’t have much else to say. Everyone has already said it for me.
With all my heart,
Rachael
Still missing you furball cat. I go to school now without first holding you, and there is no cat hair on my vest. And, I swear you are still in my house. Wheather I see a quick flash of gray darting away, or feeling something brush past me when I open the door, or having the lights outside turn on when nothing’s there. How can you be gone? But, I’m trying to cope with the grief. I have so many fantastic memories of you kitty cat. I love you. You were the BEST cat.
Oscar, even though you scratched me everytime I came to visit for no reason at all…you were still a cutie cat. I will miss the scratches on my next time I come to visit
I’m still missing you Oscar. A lot of people are. And you are missing the ND football game! He he he… It’s ironic that our neighbors are moving the week you passed. They loved you too. You were so good at keeping the rabbits away! I saw some kittens today, and they made me so happy. I had forgoten how much I loved being around cats, even though it’s been less than a week. I’m not crying so much now, time really does heal all wounds. Now, I feel like when I think about you, I’m so happy. You did that, you made me happy. I don’t know if we will get another cat. It won’t replace you, but it will bring a little more joy back into this house. It’s weird to observe how life goes on without you. You weren’t my whole life, but you were a significant figure in it. You taught me a lot about myself and how to be happy. And I miss thatj. But I have to get on with life. These things happen. Good things and bad things a like. I miss you kitty cat because you made me so happy. I laughed with you, I smiled with you, I loved with you. And now your gone, I’m disappointed that I don’t have a partner to do that with. But I’m pleased to know that your doing well with God. I’m sure he gives you access to food all day long.
Forever part of your staff,
Anne Marie
I know that i never met you, I never knew my friend Anne Marie had a wonderful feline companion.
I definitely know what it feels like to lose a friend, but I can’t begin to imagine how much you miss your best friend named Anne Marie.
I would miss her if I had gone to Kitty Cat Heaven.
I hope that this helps, though I doubt it will, Oscar.
But, Kitty, do me a favor. Be Anne Marie’s Guardian Angel.
This year has been rough on her, I imagine, as if was for all of us, with Miss Katie Lunn passing away in April.
I know that your halo shines brightly.
I’m still missing my kitty cat friend. I loved you Oscar, you let me see how amazing cats can be. You showed me that I have amazing, fantastic friends. It’s strange not seeing you every morning, and not petting your soft fur at nights. I wish you had stayed for a few more years. You were such a great cat though. I treasure the memories we made together. You were a great companion, and part of my support system at home. Whenever someone says “Oscar” I just smile because you were an amazing AMAZING cat. I’ve never really experienced loss before, and I’m really sad that you had to be my first one. To echo what Meghan said, your halo shined brightly. And I do think you are my Guardian Anglecat. You were a blessing to have, and you are a blessing to have watching over me now too. I love you Oscar! I wish I could squeeze you one last time and tell you how good of a cat you were. I hope heaven is nice, and that there is a lot of mice for you to catch. Oh, I miss you a lot. I’ll look for you in the springtime, when our gardens start to grow. You were so good at protecting them from hungry rabbits and squirrels. You were even there for our neighbors. I love you Oscar, and I hope that you can see that I’m okay now. But, you are free to visit anytime. I may not be able to see you, but I can sense your presence.
Your not so furry friend,
Anne Marie
I still miss you kitty cat. I love you bunches you know. Thanks for tne splendid memories. You are gone from my life, but never absent from my heart. Wishing you all the happiness and joy, Anne Marie
Off to school again knowing you won’t be there when I come home Oscar. I miss you so much! I hope all is going well for you in heaven. I know that you are getting well taken care of. You are much missed, but never forgotten.
My love,
Anne Marie
I didn’t know your cat very well, but I am really sorry. I know if my dog would die it would change my life because I have grown up with him. He will have a marvelous time in Kitty Cat Heaven! Rest in Peace Oscar. We’ll miss you!
Hi Oscar.
It’s been a year since you passed away now. And I thought about everyone of those 365 days. We got a new cat, his name is Ike. And he reminds me so much of you! In the year of your tragic absence, I have learned so much. I learned who I can really count on. I learned that people really care about me. I learned that you touched everyone you met. As I read the comments I posted last year, I thought about you. It brought tears to my eyes. Life wth another cat is a bit odd. But, I feel like Ike is exactly what you would have been like when you were a young cat. He’s only a year old, and still acts very much as a kitten. I said in a comment last year that I wasn’t done crying yet, and that one day I will be able to think of you and smile. I do! I smile so much when I think of the joy you brought to my life. I still have pictures of you on the desktop of my computer. You have not left this household yet Oscar. I remember Mrs. Barnhart and Mrs. K. telling our class about the Mexican belief surrounding the day of the dead. The say that a person has three deaths. One when they physically die, one when their spirit moves on, and one when they are no longer remembered. I hope that nevers happens to you. Even though we have another cat now, he never sleeps in your bed. It’s like Ike knows that it belongs only to you, and that he can never fill that space. It’s been a bit of a rough year loosing you Oscar. But I feel so strong now. So very very strong. You prepared me for the other struggles I will face. Thank you. Thank you for teaching me how to cope like this. When you died, I felt so heavy. Like big weights were on my ankles wherever I went. But now, now I feel light again. I think I am at peace with this situation. And though I have moved on, you are still in my heart. I do wish you were still here kitty cat. But I also know that you are very happy. Boy, God is certainly lucky to have you. You were the BEST cat; irreplacable. Your life was a terrible loss. You had the power to put a smile on anyone’s face. You were loved. I feel so good when I think of you Oscar. I feel like everything is going to be okay. I feel like there are still good things in this world. Thank so much. I am more grateful that you could possibly know. I hope you are doing well. I love you Oscar. And I continue to think about you every day. You’re forever in my heart.
I wish you the best.
Until we are reunited,
Anne Marie, with love
Many veterinarians advertise "individual" but rarely will use the word "Private" cremation because they know the difference and you should too. What they are NOT telling you is that there may be other animals in the cremation chamber with your pet being cremated simultaneously, so your pet is NOT being cremated privately! Be sure to ask your vet if your pet is being cremated privately and if he cannot answer with the word private you had best take your pet with you and bring your pet to us so you have the opportunity to be with your pet till the end of the cremation process.
PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW HOURS
OUR NEW HOURS effective APRIL 1, 2011 for receiving of pet remains will be by APPOINTMENT ONLY, MON-FRI between 9-4 PM.
