GA Luna has passed.

(((John and Alison))). My deepest condolences in the loss of your beautiful Luna. Thank you for sharing her with us. I love the videos and her little pink tongue sticking out for her bath.

What a blessing for her to come into your life. It takes special people to adopt such a sick kitty and make her life perfect.

Gentle journey, Luna :rb_icon::rb_icon::rb_icon:cat_wings>o
 
{{{John}}} and {{{Alison}}}

I'm so sorry to hear that Luna has earned her wings. It sounds like it was a peaceful crossing, which is what we all wish for, but it is nonetheless painful for those left behind. I hope it gives you comfort to know that you gave her a wonderful life, with everything she needed and could ever ask for. She knew she was loved. I wish you peace and strength as you learn to deal with your new normal.

Fly free, Luna, and land softly. :rb_icon:
 
There are a bunch of her supplies and lantus for sale in the for sale forum. Check it out.

Thanks everyone.

She was 12 yrs old, no longer diabetic? I'm curious ,what do you think she died from?

She broke her pelvic bone several months ago and it healed and she re-broke it. I think the 2nd injury was much more severe and she either had brain trauma or internal bleeding from falling off the kitchen counter. She was delirious. I gave her pain medicine and a sleeping pill so she could relax. Then we went to bed.

{{{{John and you too Alison}}}} I am so sorry it was time for Luna to earn her angel wings.:bighug: We put so much of our heart and our times into our special acrokitties. They truly take up a lot of our heart. I think Luna knew you were the right one for her when she saw you at Best Friends.

Take care of you too. I know how hard this time can be on the caregiver. I think Luna's last gift to you was going OTJ, so you would have some special time together that didn't involve sticking her, as much as she tolerated it. 4 years for an acro is a good long time. You did great by her.

I liked your story of how Luna came to be yours. As you have noticed, we are a family here, with many of us knowing what it's like to include the "unadoptable" kitties into our homes. I also remember when you were first thinking of taking Luna camping with you and how worried you were, but also how well it all turned out. Luna was one lucky kitty. I hope your videos, pictures, and memories will help remind you of the special times you had together. It also helped me to think of my girl as a young cat once more at the Bridge, once again able to leap after butterflies (moths). Luna is flying free again. cat_wings>o

Thank you for your kind words and help over the years. I remember the camping forum question, lol. She loved it.

Thank you as well for all your help over the years.

Thanks everyone. We got her ashes back a few days ago and will be mounting a hand-drawn portrait my mom got me as a gift years ago (that I forgot I even had until my mom reminded me, it was tucked away safely while moving). We ordered a beautiful frame (the portrait is 17x10") to put it in and a digital photo album to put next to her ashes and paw print. It'll all look nice when it's put together. I still her meows when I listen to music and see her running around corners and wonder whose feeding Luna tonight and see her when I look up sometimes and she's gone but it's just my mind playing tricks on me and I am not finding it all that funny. I think we may have a ghost situation going on :eek: which would be fine with me.

And here's my baby girl right back at home. We decided not to bury her. It makes me happy to see her, even though she now takes on a slightly different form.

What a nice memorial.
Oh God, it too is going to be so very hard for me when my Geri-geriatric, most specialist buddy (sole-mate, rock... heartbeat), Nelli leaves me in body.
It makes me happy John, to see you still following and participating on FDMB :).
Nelli and I both are tired now. Saturday mornings are a rise at 4:30 work day.
Be well, stay well.
Signing off for now.
Ni ni,
Krystina and Nelli

How long have you had Nelli? She's a trooper. My grandma gave "me" (my mom I guess) a cat, a Japanese bobtail, when I was born. She lived to be 19 and died from a cat attack from a cat we rescued who turned out to be a jerk. She died from malpractice from the vet but lived forever, through cancer twice [beat it herself] and electrocution (lost all her hair). Some kitties just keep on truckin. I know what it's like when you "realize" your pet gets old (I never got the feeling with Luna, she was high spirits til she went) and it's hard, but try and not think about it. There will be plenty of time for grief, enjoy the time you have now as best as you can and don't think of her age. Best wishes to you guys :) You still have to share your story with me.
 
Our tribute.

I had a dream last night. I was in some strange house and someone said, "where's Luna?" and I looked around and I saw the front door was cracked. I opened it up and she was sitting on the doorstep and looked at me and yelled "MROW" as she would and I picked her up like I would and it felt so real. I woke up because I got too excited. I hope for more of those dreams.

I know this feeling a little bit.
End of last week I woke up early one morning convinced I could feel Ty was snuggled into my back. I could really feel him. Of course, he was not there but it was lovely all the same.

Yes. I hope you have more of those. I hope my mind gives me more of those waking dream moments too.
