Bruno...life's end


Bruno
April 1989 to June 2008
What an achievement...about 19.2 voyages around the sun...that's equivalent to about 134.4 human voyages-remarkable! He is the last of my buddies and will join his sister Sylvie, half sisters Chris and Kloie, and half brother Beaker. A wonderful, unselfish feline who never stole the limelight from the others except when it came to indulging in some catnip. After all, there was a pecking order. I miss them all and in the Winter of my life, there will be no more. Goodbye Bruno.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. May Bruno enjoy eternal fields of catnip and overflowing ponds of tuna.

    I'm so sorry about Bruno! I lost a pet about 4 years ago, and I still dream about him frequently. There's probably no heaven for people, but there should exist one for cats. And if there is one, Bruno is having fun with Sylvie, Chris, Kloie, and all.

    I am so honored to have sent Mr. Bruno some treats before life took him away....Princess, Einstein and I mourn the loss of one of life's greatest joys....an animal friend, a companion along the shared path we call life....

    Bruno, may you continue to bring joy to those around you on your next journey.

    Excerpts from
    Like A Dream
    By Siri
    Elverum, Norway

    My garden holds trees with pink leafs
    and the smell of young jasmine
    small flowers drops and covers my hair
    like a welcome
    as I walk down the path dressed in grass
    and golden branches
    children broke them off to play with
    it's all one big memory

    Laugh and smile like a blessing of crystal
    it surrounds me with childish happiness
    flute tones danced on a wind of silk
    covered my trees to protect against harm
    Fall came

    Children returned to East with their laughter
    the man whom I loved
    kissed farewell and went South

    Come closer raindrops
    get mixed with my tears
    for all shall we meet again

    My dragons still play in the trees
    you just can't see them
    vanished from their surroundings
    in one final breath of sympathy

    We were honored to have known Bruno, a noble and dignified soul, and a curious and steady companion to you and his feline family who passed before him. Here's to Bruno, the last of your feline clan!

    Thank you all...

    Oh David - I cannot tell you how sorry I am. I mourn my own cat profoundly even after three years. The good thing, of course, is that the splendid memories stay with you forever.

    Hugs to you and love to Bruno, wherever he may be.

    Lots and lots of love

    Please accept my sincere condolences. That's very sad. But, as I said in another e-mail, the fact that Bruno lived such a long, happy life is a tribute to you. Felines are truly a wonderful comfort to us. And they teach us so much! I wish I were half as wise as Herbert.
