Merlyn (left) and Midnight (right) sleeping togetherNana just called Mommy and broke the news to her - Merlyn is gone. He went to the Bridge this morning. We posted about Merlyn before but we'll tell you about him again. He was Mommy's kitty - she got him when she was 17 years old and he was also brother to Smudge who went to the Bridge exactally a month ago today. He did not live with us because he wanted to stay with Nana and Grandpa when Mommy moved out and got married, but he was still Mommy's special kitty.
Mommy named him Merlyn because when he was a kitten he could teleyport! Really! Just like a wizard!! He would walk out of a room one way and then POOF! he would be on the total other side of the room before you would knew it and you'd have no clue how he got there! He was also best friends with Midnight (pictured above) who left us a few years ago and we are sure that Midnight is happy to see him (his sister Smudge too). Merlyn was a great kitty and we know Mommy will miss him lots. Nana said that Grandpa found the beautiful grey kitty this morning and thinks that he laid down and went to sleep and then left for the Bridge. he had been sick for a while and was getting old. We know he's happier now.
Mommy cannot stop crying! We're going to try to help her to feel better but this is THREE beloved pets that have went to the Bridge in the last month and she keeps saying "I cannot take anymore! Please let this be the last one!!" We know tommorow is Meow Like a Pirate Day and that we invited all of you kitties out on the Black Furrball with us, but we just don't know if we'll be able to go out now. It will depend on how Mommy feels. Please purr for her and for Merlyn.

Snuggle her lots and remind her dat she will see dem again and in da meantime she haf yoo guys to keep her company.
Oh my goodness, your poor Mummy! Please stay close to her and make her feel better, maybe you could even race around the house like crazy and make her laugh.
Please let her know my Mum and I are thinking of her.

Your poor mom! We were so sad to hear about Merlyn. My mom's previous cat lived to 18, but it is always sad when we lose one of our fur children.
Do something kitty crazy to make your mom laugh. She'll apreciate it.
Oh, mine paws and whiskers!
We's so sorry to hear about Merlyn's passing. He was a handsome mancat.
Cap'n, Dante, and Fagin, you will need to cuddle your mombean a lot tonight. We kitties, know that purrs can help to mend a broken heart.
I doez not know what to say to makez your momma feel betterz.
I can tell you that Momma left her first very special kitteh with her Momma when she moved out and gotz married coz she thought she wouldn't want to change of scenery... every night Momma would go to bed crying missing her baby girl.
Years had gone by and Momma would go back to visit her special girl often,.. long story short, when Mommas special girl went to the bridge she was absolutely heartroken, Lots of things went through her minds, but mainly was should I have taken her with me and does she know how much Momma loves her..
It's hard to see through the darkness when you question yourself.. so don't.. we kittehs feel..
please givez your momma very many cuddels , she needz them muchly! :))

I hate hearing these things; I cry each time of course.
We are so sorry. I feel for you and your family. It is a horrible loss.
Hugs to you and yours.
I am so sorry to hear about Merlyn. Maybe he was lonely for Midnight and Smudge and went to be with them again. Give your Mom lots of kitty hugs and snuggles and purrs to help her feel better. It must be really hard to lose three in such a short time.
We're so sorry that Merlyn had to leave for the Bridge - it's been very tough on your Mom lately, losing furry furriends. Please stick close to your Mom, boys, and purr and snuggle lots with her, 'cos that'll help her.
Sending purrs and kittyhugs to your Mom and your Nana and Grandpa,

We are very sad to hear about Merlin. We're sending purrs and hugs.
We are so sorry to hear about Merlyn. He sounds like a very sweet cat friend. The PM lost her cat, Syd, who stayed with the Nanny when she moved out, four years ago but she still gets leaky when she thinks about him or looks at old pictures as he was her baby and she loved him very much. She got him when she was a teenager too.
We are sending you gentle hugs and comforting purrs.
Purrrrrrrrrrrrs
Goldie and Shade
We are very sorry to hear about Merlyn. We are sending purrs and (((hugs))) to your mum.
Oh we are so very sorry, please tell your Mommy that we send our love and purrs and hugs to her.
We share in the sadness...
We are all sadden by the passing of sweet Merlyn and we knows that you Mommie's heart is breaking. We send our heartfelt purrs and purrayers and will light a candle in his honor. We knows that the moment he crossed the Bridge that Smudge was there to greet him and we are sure that Midnight came bounding off of his meadow to give him a headbutt and nuzzle. They are all together now and will watch over Fagin, Dante , Capt'n Jack and you and keep you safe...
Don't Grieve Too Long
Don't grieve too long for now I'm free
I've followed the path God set for me
I ran to Him when I heard His call
I swished my tail and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To meow, to love, to romp or play
Games left unplayed must stay that way
I found such peace; it made my day.
My parting has left you with a void
Please feel it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too shall miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My lifes been full, you've given so much
Your time, your love and gentle touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your head and share with me
God wanted me; He set me free!!
Soft purrs
