Diamond passed over the Rainbow Bridge at 5 pm Adelaide time today. He had not been able to eat today and his Veterinary Surgeon told me it was time for him to go. Diamond was very relaxed and I stroked his head and kissed his dear forehead. The Veterinary Nurse stroked his middle section. Diamond went in a breath and was no longer there. I was able to sit by his side quietly in the surgery for some time afterwards, stroking him and reflecting. The Veterinary Nurse drove me home, which was nice, as I would otherwise have had to get a taxi and was dreading travelling back like that with an empty cat cage.
The house is full of Diamond’s equipment of various kinds, from numerous beds, scratching posts, food bowls, toys from the past.
It feels empty.

Lynettea, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. The hearts of all of those who loved Diamond are breaking and, around the world, his friends can feel an emptiness in the universe. It was an honor to have known him.
We have a special candle that we light when one of us passes. On the candle it says:
"Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you.
I loved you so.
'twas heaven here with you.
Our mum will light this candle for Diamong.Until we meet at the rainbow bridge…..
Kari, Gran, and all of us cats. -

Hi,
Diamond era un gatto veramente molto bello.
Sono molto dispiaciuta per la sua morte.
Il mio cane è morto il 24 settembre 2012 e mi manca molto.
La casa adesso è vuota senza di lui.
Un abbraccio.

One of the saddest things about losing a kitty is coming home with an empty crate.
Diamond was a very handsome kitty and we bet he was a super companion.
We wish there was more we could say to make you feel better.
We send you prayers,hugs and comforting purrs.
