Hey all:

I lost a very dear friend tonight.




F.T.C. (Fred the Cat)

Born October 1992
Died August 27, 2005


He died in my arms my friends. The old heart and lungs just got too weak to do a proper job. He sure was brave.

So I ask of you all, please tonight, light up a nice one. Hug your pet.


Lots of tears in Harmonix Land tonight.....


Be safe.

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo my brother. FTC is more than just an animal, as I'm sure you know. Feel confident in the bond that exists between the two of you, knowing that death cannot break it. This is not 'goodbye', just 'see you later.'

My prayers are with your saddened heart.

Hang in there.

My heart breaks for you. I have been there before.

Just remember all cats go to heaven.

I have done that several times. It never is easy. Thoughts are with you.

I'm SO sorry. I feel your pain.

I feel for you mate.

I just recently lost a 15 year old friend by unexpected means. It's hard when your friend is gone, the void is very large. THe tears will be intense and uncontrollable for awhile but it does subside over time. I keep remembering the fun times we had. Sometimes, I think I can see and hear him. Maybe my mind playing tricks with me but I like to think he is keeping an eye on me. I know I will see him again and FTC is waiting to unite with you again. I miss my buddy everyday but I know he is with me. Hang in there.

My buddy

Harmonix-

My thoughts are with you - I have lost four cats in the last year (diabetes/kidney failure, lukemia-not feluke, lymphoma cancer, and bladder cancer). It's so hard to say goodbye to a friend who has been with you for so long.

I will say that the old story about cats having 9 lives may not be entirely myth. I have a cat (my favorite friend and soul mate) who is with me for the third time. I originally had him back in the 70's, he came back to me the second time about 2 years later, and the third time a few years ago. Each time, I've known him as soon as I saw him again, even though he has looked completely different each time. He's a shoulder cat and has a unique way of laying down and straddling my shoulders which has been the same each time he's been with me. He's very rowdy and tends to be the dominant cat no matter how many I have (and I have about 30 at the moment). I never believed in reincarnation until this cat taught me differently.

My Mom's favorite cat has also come back to her a couple of times. Again, the cat has a rather unique personality and the personality is the same each time.

Give him time to rest and re-generate his energies; when he's ready, he'll come back if you want him to.

Be at peace...

My thanks to you all for such kind words.

I love this place.


boy i miss my freddy....


sniff...
