Barney will pass over the Rainbow Bridge this Friday afternoon. Monday night I was crying in bed, and asked “God” (I follow my own religion of being a good and kind person on this earth) to give me some sort of sign to help me make the decision as to when Barney needed to be put to sleep.
The next morning, Barney was laying on me (I was laying on my back). I was crying a little. He got up from laying down, sat on my chest near where I had folded my arms, and touched my arm with his paw, leaving it there for about 5 seconds as he gazed into my eyes.
I knew then that I had my sign. He was telling me he was ready, and that I should not feel guilty about making the decision. Yet again, another beautiful moment with this truly cosmic cat.
I want to thank all of you for being such wonderful support while all of this has been going on for me. Only animal lovers understand how losing a loved companion animal can be so devestating.
I ask you now to turn your thoughts to Barney for a speedy trip over the bridge where he will meet up with his mommy cat Miss Mew, have this cancer removed, and live a wonderfully happy life until I meet him again.
