In Memory Of My Fur Baby Bruce

by Mia
(Carlise, PA)

My Bruce had such a huge personality and was so lovable. I got him for my birthday in Sept. 1997.

I instantly fell in love the moment our eyes met. That little ball of fur brought so much joy to my life and I have so many wonderful memories of him.

What a face

Our last picture :*(

I recently lost him to cancer and I miss my boy sooo very much. I cry on a daily basis, not having his sweet face around is very hard. The house is so empty without him.

He was a momma's boy

His favorite sunny spot

Bruce lived a long happy life filled with all the love and attention he asked for and then some. I had my baby cremated so on those beautiful sunny days I can sit him out on the sunny deck which was his favorite hangout.

My kitty is a female version of Bruce's
by: Connie
My Kitty Callarina looks a lot like Bruce. I just discovered that she is most likely a Maine Coon. The white fur around her neck keeps growing so long...and I have been cutting it to help her with grooming.

She too has an incredible personality and is so affectionate to me...like Bruce. Callarina loves running around me while I garden in my yard. She is a hoot!

Thanks so much for sharing Bruce's story...its is so beautiful. Many blessings to you dear...

RIP Bruce

Mia:
I know how much your heart hurts for losing Bruce. What a beautiful boy! And as you posted on my Toby's page, they sound so very much alike!

I'm sure that Toby was on the welcoming committee when Bruce crossed and they're both waiting for us to join them some day.

Enjoy your new furbabies and make many more happy and hilarious memories to carry you through the hard moments.

And remember that you're not alone with your loss, there are many of us thinking about you and hoping that you find the love and joy you once had with your new babies.

Take care,
Jenny, Caoimhe, and Maya

I share you sympathy
by: Kim
I share your sympathy as I too had a cat that had nasal cancer and which I had to put down when his uncomfortable and stressful days outweighed his love to exist.

I hope to have one more cat before I go and I hope it is a Maine Coon.

My Heart Grieves With You!!
by: Janny
Enjoy the Rainbow Bridge Bruce! You will have so much fun there, waiting to jump into your Mommy's loving arms. Please say a big Maine Coon "brrrit" to my beloved Mrs Kitten and Miss Munchie. They both died of cancer within three months of one another.

I can only imagine how painful it was for you to lose your Fur Baby. I hope you will find comfort in all of the love you gave Bruce and the good times you had with him. These will be memories to cherish as time goes on. Hugs, Janny

Rest In Peace Bruce
by: Nina
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. He had a wonderful family to give hin the love he needed and deserved. Bless you.....

I lost my rescued kitty Bailey to cancer 18 mths ago and rescued a kitty, Missy, in Nov. We got her all the checkups and tests she needed for her wellness.

She just recently had a large tumor removed that was pressing on her spine. The tests show she has cancer.

We were devastated! She's only about 6 and is so sweet. I'm beginning to believe God is sending us the sick kitties knowing we will take care of them properly. Just want Missy to live her time out pain free and enjoying herself.

Once again, bless you for giving so much love to Bruce. I feel your pain.
Thinking of you,
Nina

Sad For Your Loss
by: Rick
I look at Bruce and see my little Ramone. I can only imagine the pain you must feel over his loss. But you also have the precious memories of many wonderful years spent together.

I cannot imagine what life would be like if I lost even one of my three purr babies. May God be with you and comfort you in your time of grieving.

Baby Bruce
by: karen and mark Melbourne
I am sadden to hear of your loss, another gorgeous coonie to kitty land, it is a great and healing process that you had him cremated and you get to keep him with you at all times.

We did the same last year our boy was 13yrs and died of serve anemia and leukemia and he sits on the computer here beside me, I talk to him all the time but within 4 weeks because as you said the house is so quiet we got another little coonie (a girl) this time and it is just a great help to have laughter and chatting back in the house.

They will never be forgotten always true to our hearts. I would give to a hug but you are too far away. R.I.P Here Here to the Coonies.

So sorry for your loss
by: Millicent
I lost my little Alexander to cancer in February of 2010. While he was sick, i felt as if everything important in life was slipping through my fingers and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. We forged on. He seemed to be improving.

On a Monday, I left him with the Vet while I went to work...I wanted them to watch him and while I got 'good' news - he was himself and letting them know that they should leave him alone (he was naughty), I lost him on the way home from the vet. Moving through the grief has been very slow for me. His pictures are everywhere and I miss him every day.

Bruce and Alexander look alot alike.

I found that I look at pictures of other kitties, but hope I'll get lucky enough to be picked again. Meanwhile, I know that the greatest blessing he brought was true, unconditional love. I am far enough from the grief to acknowledge that blessing he was in my life. I hope that you will find comfort during your tears.

in Sympathy
by: Karen Conner-Beck
So sorry for the loss of your Maine Coon Boy. It is losing a member of the family. While you will miss him terribly, when you are ready, go out and rescue another Maine Coon. There is another out there that desperately needs you!
