BLOGGERS RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE - CATS 2015
This Rainbow Bridge Rememberance slideshow honors all bloggers cats who crossed the bridge in 2015. (Well, we did include those who crossed in 2016 as well...!)
We had nearly 70 cats ending up in the show, so to keep it to a manageable length (10 minutes) we alas could not show anyone's photo longer than a few seconds. The alternative would have made the show much too long, or leave kitties out. Thanks for your understanding.
Beautifully done, Carol ... thank you for honoring our beloved pets with such a wonderful tribute. Even for those of us blessed enough not to lose a pet, this is very meaningful. As bloggers we come to know and love those we never see or touch, and all are close in our hearts. So we grieve when they leave us and we share that loss with those they lived with. You have presented them in a caring and thoughtful way. Again ... thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank YOU so much dear Ann for those kind words! You have such a lovely way of putting things. Couldn't have done the slideshow without you and your beautiful remembrances of all the cats, you know that!
DeleteBeautiful tribute

Thank you so much! We tried really hard to make it beautiful!
DeleteBeautiful......sweet.......sad......but VERY meaningful to those who have lost a furry family member. Super well done. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
Thanks so much Pam! Tried so hard not to make it too sad...of course it was,, anyway! These cats were so beloved!
DeleteThat was just so beautiful. So tastefully done. Their loss is sad but the memory of what they left with us just fills the heart with warmth. Thank you.

How right you are! The memory of our sweet animals' gifts to us --their presence, antics, quirks and love do warm the heart, no matter how we miss them. Thank you for your sweet comment.
DeleteThat was so beautiful. I had leaky eyes all through it. So many sweet furkids over the Bridge.
ReplyDeleteThe Florida Furkids and Mom Sharon
I cried too! It was hard to put together. Needed lots of kleenex! Thanks so much for your comment, FF and Sharon!
DeleteSo very wonderful! Truthfully if their photos were up longer it would just be a bawl fest.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this lovely remembrance.
You're welcome, Stacy. Miss Scraps and Ms. Stella were two beautiful creatures inside and out I can tell from the pictures. So sorry the photos couldn't be up longer. I agonized over every shortening I had to do but with nearly 70 cats, I really had to keep it to 10 minutes. No one likes to watch long slideshows any more, especially given the tender subject! Regards and condolences again re your beautiful beautiful furkids!
DeleteThat was truly beautiful, Carol. How kind of you to take the time to put this together. We know those who have lost their beloved cats and who will find them in your tribute will be deeply moved by your efforts. Thank you. It was nice to see some of our friends here again and to remember them fondly.

Thanks so much for the comment, LP! Putting together the slideshow was truly a labor of love. Since I can't get around to comment as much as I would like to, I thought of this way of honoring my blogger buddies and their beloved furry friends.
DeleteCarol, This was so beautifully done and so thoughtful as well. Thank you. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do really hope it was a healing experience for all on a tender subject close to our hearts!
DeleteSo much of your heart and soul went into this... so, so beautiful... all the angels above are surely purring right now... xoxo from Deb and the Zee/Zoey kitties
ReplyDeleteAh....you're not kidding! Of course you understand, Deb, given the work you have done. It was emotionally much harder than I thought to do! Paprika and Peaches were on my lap a good part of the time I was working on it,more tender and sweet than usual ! I am sure at level they were trying to offer comfort! Thanks for your insightful comment, Deb!
DeleteThank you for a lovely, but I'm sure, difficult job.
ReplyDeleteSo many beloved cats, so much pain at parting, so many sweet memories...
Maggie (Tommie's guardian and favorite person)
Thank you for great thank you, Maggie and for knowing it was difficult! A little difficult technically but more emotionally! Tommie was a doll, and that greenery around him meant he was very easy to find a place for in all the nature backgrounds!My condolences to you, I know it will be a year soon since he crossed the bridge.
DeleteThis is a beautiful slide show! Thank you so much for putting it together, and for putting our lovely Reno and Dorf in it.
ReplyDeleteHugs from all of us at Forty Paws and Maw
It was a privilege to get to know Reno and Dorf, if only in spirit. And thank you so much for writing so that I was sure to include both! Carol
DeleteBeautiful!!! So touching....made me cry. There near the end was my Tiny... and in 3 days it will be one year since she left at the ripe old age of 20 years plus.... To think so many other kitties passed during the year...it is sad, but as in Tiny's case, she is now pain free...and that is important. We will meet again later. Even though I shouldn't cry, I can't help it...it is so hard to lose a good friend and there is no better friend than a kitty. My heart goes out to everyone who had to say good-bye to there dear furkid and to those who will have to say good-bye this year. We must always appreciate the time we have with them because we just don't know how long any of us have on this earth.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful tribute..so very thoughtful and touching.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! I noticed when I put the show together that Tiny lived to a ripe old age and she must have had a good life to have lived that long! I know this must be a tough month for you since she crossed in February...my condolences!...thanks for writing! Carol
DeleteOh, this is simply beautiful. Thank you so much for doing this, and for including my sweet Rosie. This is such a perfect way to remember our beloved furbabies who have crossed the Bridge before us.
ReplyDeleteRosie was such a gorgeous calico kitty and I loved the pictures of her. It was hard to only show one photo of each kitty. I know you must miss her tons! Thank you for your lovely comment!
DeleteThat's wonderful ! What a beautiful tribute to our friends who are gone ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. The music and quotes are so fitting. Thank you for including my 2 angels, Lucy and Stinky. XO
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ellen! Getting to meet so few bloggers' kitties, it was an honor to get to meet Stinky during the holidays! And I'm sorry to have not Lucy, she looked like quite the hot number in her aqua costume! Carol
DeleteCarol, you did a fantastic job with this. Absolutely beautiful!!!! Thank you for doing this.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Linda
Thank you Linda! It is I who should thank you for all the wonderful and continuing work you did commemorating the kitties on your rainbow rainbow blog! And I thank you again for letting me use the info as well as many of the lovely pictures. That is really a labor of love.
DeleteSo beautiful. You have created a lovely tribute.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, our orange boyfriend, Flynn. And we want you to know we helped our human all the way by keeping her company, she couldn't have done it without OUR help and moral support! - Peaches & Paprika
DeleteI had to wait to watch this at home because I knew the tears would flow...and I was so right. I can't thank you enough for putting together this beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa, I too used a lot of kleenex while putting it togetherI I know how much you must miss dear Truffles! My condolences once again on the loss of this sweetheart but I know Truffles is watching you from across the bridge!. Carol
DeleteThank you for a lovely video. We were teary through it, especially when we saw our Cameron. Every one of those lovely cats are missed by someone who loved them greatly, so it's hard to not cry through all the photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Jan, it will be almost a year now for Cameron! so glad we could include him but sorry for this loss. The experience of putting the slideshow makes me gather up my Peaches and Paprika all the tighter, realizing we must enjoy and value every moment spent with our sweet animals!
DeleteYou have done a wonderful job with this. What a touching tribute to so many sweeties. Thank you so much for creating it and for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being touched by the slideshow, Mariodacat! And for this lovely comment!
DeleteThat was a wonderful slide show and very sad too but such a good memory. That was really well done
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your surgery today. Hope all goes well for you today .
Thank you to all those involved in making this. I was gratified to see my Tungsten included. A lot of work and love went into this slide-show and it is appreciated. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for those appreciate words, John. You're so right about the love! My condolences to you on the loss of Tungsten, now coming up to almost a year. What a beautiful cat who I know you must miss so much. Blessings, Carol
DeleteThanks so much for this beautiful remembrance. We lost so many friends last year this helps up to think of them all
ReplyDeleteTimmy and Family
Thank you so much again for this beautiful remembrance video, Peaches and Paprika. Granny is in tears... from the beginning until the end, even if we know that they are still around. The music, the words, pictures and especially seeing so many furriends and our own Feline, it was so heartfelt. Grateful Pawkisses for this fantastic work <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI'm in tears! What a beautiful memorial to all those kitties that crossed over! Hugs to all the families that lost their beloved kitty. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is the nicest tribute I've seen of its kind. Thanks so much for your heartfelt effort and for including Radish. So many losses and this was just one small community. I don't know if you know but I have an ongoing reseach study on pet loss. Anyone interested can email me to participate in the 60 question survey which many find cathartic and healing.
