I am really getting behind with these. It's been almost a month since
Kimiko went to the Rainbow Bridge. Kimiko was one of the older cats in the house. Her Mom found her in a dumpster near her work with four siblings. No one knows how the kittens got in the dumpster. The momcat was hanging around the dumpster and that is what alerted the Mom to look inside. She found the five baby kittens, but could not catch the mother. She took all of them home and socialized, litterbox trained and found homes for all the rest, but kept Kimiko. Kimiko loved her Mom very much and always wanted to be near her. She also loved to hop in the laundry basket as soon as the clothes came out of the dryer. Her favorite treat was fishy flakes and her eyes would get really big when she saw them come out and get put in a bowl. She was very vocal and told her Mom all about everything. She loved to be held and cuddled in her Mom's arms. Kimiko got small cell intestinal cancer. Usually this disease is slow-acting and responds well to chemo. In Kimiko's case it was very aggressive and nothing seemed to slow it down. Kimiko had to be helped to the Rainbow Bridge not long after her diagnosis. Her family is still missing her very much.
Kimiko's cancer came on fast.
She tried her best, but could not last.
Alas, now on Earth
Of her there's a dearth.
She is at the Bridge, having a blast.

We were so heartbroken that Kimiko had to leave for the Bridge.
That was a lovely limerick for her.
We were sad when Kimiko had to go to the Bridge. It must have been very hard for her Mom especially. This is a nice way to remember a beautiful kitty.
We were sad to hear about Kimiko. What a nice tribute to her...
Throught the tears running down the mom's face we read together about Kimiko. It is so sad when one we know and love has to leave. Kimiko was so fortunate to be found and rescued from the dumpster to spend many happy times in a forever home. This is a beautiful tribute to her.
That was a lovely tribute to Kimiko.
Kimiko's tribute is lovely...just like her.
What a sweet face and a very sweet limerick.

Her family is still missing her so much. And now Snickers left today. So many, too many. Thankfully, there are smiles between the tears.
thank you so much for the wonderful limerick in memory of my sweet girl kimiko. i am sure she is enjoying the sunshine and soft grass at the bridge.
Our family has always had cats and dogs. so i have quite a few kitties and doggies already waiting at the bridge. so i feel sure kimiko received a glorious welcoming party.
once again, thank you.
Kimiko seemed so young to go to the Bridge. So it is good to see she was remembered with a limerick!
It's a lovely tribute ~ but such a shame little Kimiko had to leave so soon.
what a sweet face.
We did not know Kimiko but we did stop by to leave her beans sum love. Kimiko was a very loved kitty!
Kimiko was so pretty. I wish cancer would just leave our pets alone. It must be so scary for them to get sick and not understand what it is.
Gentle hugs for her family.
I have been catching up with Herman on his blog. What a beautiful furkid you have Karen Jo.
Hugs,
Lorianna
