Oh Tommy cat, precious little guy, You knew we came to say good-bye. Our hands reached out to stroke your fur. We all knew what would soon occur, That you would have a lasting sleep, And in our hearts your love we'd keep. For fourteen years you were at home, Brought joy and love where you did roam, Waiting to greet us at the door As soon as our feet touched the floor. Oh yes, how we felt your sweet love, And soon you'll watch us from above. They laid you in my arms until That shot relieved you of your will. Still, in in my arms, you lay asleep, Kitty heaven where angels keep. I asked my aunt who loved cats so To come to greet you when you go. She heard me, this is how I know. Overhead was a huge rainbow. . ! February 23, 2016 Furry Friend Contest Sponsor Royal T.

A wonderful, touching tribute to a beloved pet (I have many cats). It seems they always leave something in us when they go. Enjoyed reading about Tommy.

I cried over this one, as I cry over every one of my kitties when they have to go. This is a priceless tribute. I have four nice black kitties in my house. Your picture looks like our Mamma Mia who had babies. Love, daver

I can relate perfectly to this touching poem, Connie. Our cat Snowball had to be put down, aged 17, and that broke our hearts. Eventually a new cat came into our lives...Smokey. ~ Warm regards // paul

this is so precious, Connie. You know what? My friend Liz (the friend who has since disowned me) had that german shepherd that died and she told me how the rainbow came out for his funeral. I wrote a poem about that dog for her and mine mentioned the rainbow at the end too. I believe your aunt went there to greet this lovely cat.

So difficult to say goodbye to perfect love and innocence. we just lost our little Aly, and I wrote: Our pets treasure us as though there's no tomorrow, and we cherish them, hoping there never will be. You phrased the feelings perfectly.

He had the most wonderful personality. My daughter and granddaughter feel his spirit, they have even heard him purr. Thank you Daniel.
