FOR RAMSEYRamsey was a beautiful blue-eyed bundle of
love. His mother is a stray neighborhood feral calico cat and his father, we believe, was once
someone's pet that either got lost or was deliberately left behind. We used to call him Tinkerbelle
because he had a bell on his collar and we always knew when he was coming. Ramsey's resemblance
to his father was unmistakable. He appeared to have some Siamese in him in that he has the blue
eyes, dark tips on his ears and a dark tail. Otherwise the rest of his body was white with just
a touch of beige. He also inherited, like his father, an extra toe on each of his front paws.
He was born about a year ago in early June and may have even died on or near his first
birthday from something else that was inherited from his parents. Out of five kittens he and
three others tested positive for FIV, an immune system disease in cats that is similar to AIDs
in humans. We didn't even know such a disease existed. There is no real cure for it and a vaccine
is being worked on but if it is given the cat will always test positive for FIV. FIV positive
cats can live normal lives if the FIV virus can be kept in check. FIV cannot be passed on to
dogs or other animals or humans and FIV is normally contracted from a cat bite. One of the other
kittens was sick very early on with it and almost died but has made a remarkable recovery and
appears to be a happy healthy cat. We give him lysine on a daily basis to keep his immune system
healthy.
Ramsey was not as lucky however. He was relatively healthy until late April
of this year when he started losing weight and seemed lethargic. We took him to our vet who ran
every test there is on him and they never indicated anything was wrong. He kept on losing weight
though and went from twelve pounds down to six by the end of May despite our best efforts to
get him to eat. We thought Ramsey was on the road to recovery because he got his appetite back
and was gaining a little bit of weight and was acting more like himself. Our vet believed that
he had some kind of neurological problem though and he quickly took a drastic turn for the worse.
The only merciful thing left to do was to put him to sleep on June 9th and that's what we tearfully
did.
Ramsey's short life was a real blessing to us though. He was a very gentle, loving
kitten except when he was chewing on our shoelaces which he did whenever he got the chance. We
jokingly said that his name should have been shadow because he was always following us around
and right at our heels, wanting to be picked up and held. He also seemed to be the big brother
of the other kittens, not just in size, but always looking out for them. When the last kitten
in the litter hadn't opened its eyes yet Ramsey very gently licked his eyes and seemed to be
looking out for him. We will never forget Ramsey and will do our best to keep his sisters and
brothers healthy. In Ramsey's memory I hope you will keep your cats indoors so they won't be
exposed to the FIV virus, and I pray that a cure or a good vaccine will be available soon to
prevent the heartache and suffering that we and Ramsey, and all the other FIV positive cats and
owners have gone through.

RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal
dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow
Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can
run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and
our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who have been ill and old
are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt and maimed are made whole
and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone
by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they
each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They
all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks
into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly
he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying
him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special
friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted
again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved
head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone
from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow
Bridge together.

Unlike most days at the Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray. All the recent arrivals at the Bridge did not know what to think, as they had never seen such a day.
But the animals who had been waiting longer for their beloved people to accompany them across the Bridge knew what was happening, and they began to gather at the pathway leading to the Bridge.
Soon an elderly cat came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. He approached slowly, and though he showed no sign of injury or illness, he was in great emotional pain. Unlike the animals gathered along the pathway, he had not been restored to youth and vigor upon arriving at the Bridge. He felt out of place and wanted only to cross over and find happiness!
But as he approched the Bridge, his way was barred by and Angel, who apologized and explained that the tired and broken-spirited old cat could not cross over. Only those animals accompanied by their people were allowed to cross the Bridge.
Having nobody, and with nowhere else to turn, the cat trudged into the field in front of the Bridge. There he found others like himself, elderly, disabled or infirm, sad and discouraged.........
Unlike the other animals waiting to cross the Bridge, these animals were not running or playing. They simply were lying in the grass, staring forlornly at the pathway across the Rainbow Bridge. The old cat took his place among them, watching the pathway and waiting, yet not knowing what he was actually waiting for...........
One of the newer cats at the Bridge asked a dog who had been there longer to explain what was happening.
The dog replied: "Those poor animals were abandoned, turned away, or left at shelters- never found a home on Earth. They all passed on with only the love of a RESCUER to comfort them. Because they had no people to love them, they have nobody to escort them across the Rainbow Bridge."
The cat asked the dog: "So what will happen to those animals?" Before the dog could answer, the clouds began to part and the cold turned to bright sunshine."
The dog replied: "Watch, and you will see."
In the distance was a single person, and as she approached the Bridge the old, disabled, infirm and sad animals in the field were bathed in a golden light. They were all at once made young and healthy, and stood to see what their fate would be.
The animals who had previously gathered at the pathway bowed their heads as the person approached. At each bowed head, the person offered a scratch or hug. One by one, the now youthful and healthy animals from the field fell into line behind the person.
TOGETHER, THEY WALKED ACROSS THE RAINBOW BRIDGE TO A FUTURE OF HAPPINESS AND UNQUESTIONED LOVE!
The cat asked the dog: "What just happened?"
The dog responded: "That was a RESCUER! The animals gathered along the pathway bowing in respect were those who had found their forever homes because of RESCUERS!
They will cross over when their people arrive at the Bridge. The arrival here of a RESCUER is a great and solemn event, and as a tribute they are permitted to perform one final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort all those poor animals they couldn't place on Earth across the Rainbow Bridge and into Heaven."
The cat thought for a moment, then said: "I like RESCUERS!"
The dog smiled and replied: "So does Heaven, my friend......so does Heaven!"
