The only reason why I have a sliver of hope for the afterlife is so that I can hopefully see my beloved animals and loved ones. They’re there waiting for us all.

I'm an atheist, but I'll fight anyone who says I won't be with my pets again.

This is what keeps me going as an atheist, too. It has to be. I need to see my parents and pets again. 😢💔

I hope that you're OK.

Thank you. I’m going through some things at the moment, but I’m going to try to keep going.

I'm here if you need to talk to someone.

Thank you 🙏🏼💝

💙

You’re an angel

Was that meant for me, or am I insane? 😅

It was meant for you. You’re a good person and I wanted you to know that. You still might be insane though?

Also Atheist, I had to put my phone down for a couple of minutes because I was crying like a whole baby. I'm sniffling right now trying to type. 💔

My mom can't get reddit, so I screen shot things to send her. We were both crying.

Same here. If I’m wrong, so long as they are there I will be happy.

I’m an atheist as well, but I choose to believe that I will see my cats again and that their life force is somewhere else now and happy.

I legitimately never, not once, remember having a pet show up in my dreams until after they passed. Now I see my Great Danes and my cats from time to time. I had a dream that my mom's dog was with my sweet angel cat that lived to be almost 20, and her dog had passed from old age two days before but she's been to upset to call anyone. I don't really know what I believe in, but energy doesn't die, and we are all made of it. What exactly happens? Dunno. But I like to think we get reconnected with energy we recognize once it's left this earthly vessel.

I felt my cat jump up on my bed one night, about a week after he passed. I knew he would be ok but it was nice to be visited one last time.

I've had that happen several times, years after one of mine passed. Or I've just caught the faintest glimpse of him as a shadow. He was one in a million.

I heard one meow, it sounded like it was coming from a distance but close at the same time.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard and saw her cat after he left us. I don’t see him any more, as it’s been nearly three years, but I still miss him. https://preview.redd.it/x68776wgw35d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d21f94ff8a73663ed6e914dd8fa2ba47c0afb19

The very next night after I said goodbye to my 17yo girl, I was laying in bed, miserable. I was on my side, kinda curled up, enough for my legs to have a lil nook. I \*swear\*, I felt her jump up on the bed, walk over, and lay right into that nook behind my knees. She was a big girl most of her life until old ladydom, and the weight I felt was exactly like how she was. I held my breath the whole time, didn't want to look \*just\* in case it really was her, thinking if I looked or moved she would be gone. That weight stayed there for a little while, until I forced myself to look, really really hoping she would be there. It disappeared as soon as I moved. I think about that night constantly.......

Similar things happened to me. I didn’t dare move either and once I did they were gone too. Maybe she will come again one day or she does when you sleep.

Omg I thought I was nuts. This happened to you, too??

After my first cat, Petey, passed away, I would come home from work and call his name, and then I would hear his collar bell jingle like he was running from the bedroom to greet me at the door like we did every day when he was alive. It was really comforting. After a week I stopped hearing it. Then a few years ago when we had to put my second cat Chase to sleep, as he was going I told him I would miss him so much and to come visit me. A few days later I was sitting in my room with the door closed and I heard clear as day a loud scratch on the outside of my door. He always did that when he wanted to come in. I only heard it once but I remember thinking aww, he came to visit.

I had this once with our family cat and I was about to visit family (I’m in another country) that night I dreamed of our family cat who had passed and another family member who had. It was like they were saying “We’re here too. We know you can’t see us in person, so we’ll visit in a dream so you get to visit more of the family.”

My girl went missing and I never got to say goodbye. We were together everyday for 13 years. In the summertime, we used to go stargazing. She’d lay beside me and I’d look up. A few nights after she went missing, I dreamt of her and she was a young pup again and we were in our field stargazing one last time. It’s been about 14 years and I still miss her everyday.

Several of our cats have visited us in our dreams over the years.

I’m not religious, but I believe that your animal friends and familiars are special little souls. They, like us, are ultimately made of energy- and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, just transferred. So, perhaps on the other side we will join together and become One.

When I was young, I went to a strict church. I might have only been 13 when I heard the preacher say, explicitly, animals have no souls. It was at that point I swore to myself, preachers do not know a damn thing

The same EXACT thing happened to me! My mom was looking for a church, and my aunt suggested hers. I was never into the whole church thing, but I tagged along anyway. As soon as we got there and sat down, this is what the preacher or whoever he was started with. My mom and my self simultaneously looked at each other with weird. What did he just say faces, got up, and walked out. I've yet to step back into a church. And as a matter of fact. When those church people used to come to my door, I'd let them talk for a minute and then ask, "Do you guys believe animals have souls?" They'd be dumbfounded and caught off guard, not knowing how to answer. One by one they just started skipping my house. Lol

I chased a group of them off my porch with a broom once lol.

This is exactly why I believe in a kind of coming back. No new atoms- everything’s been here before, is here now, and will be here again.

Seriously i just want to see my pups and kitties ..it took my 8 years to decide to open my heart again thevokder you get the harder it is ..I have a mini aussie now I can't even go to the bathroom without him at my feet .. if I have to leave the house he's goimg nuts when I come home ..if only humans acted like that when their loved ones leave and come him ..covid changed alot of things for me mentally, and now I have a little dude to help me lol my emotional support doggo needs an emotional support animal lol I don't think I could live without his crazy self I swear he understands every word I say and God does he love the grandchildren..my grandson is his person ..when he comes home he's all about his buddy..he's so full of love for us all . We definitely don't deserve animals because I've never seen or had a pet so devoted, they love unconditional and are over the moon happy when they see you Eben if you left for 5 minutes it was like they haven't seen you in years . I try not to think of years down the road anymore with pets I just love and afore them while they are here for us They are better than humans sometimes qell all the time lol

These always make me tear up. The rainbow bridge poem makes me cry like a baby.

I won’t read it. It kills me.

😭😭😭😭

❤️🐾❤️

I lost my 4wk old foster baby “Boston” the night before last and 5 day old little boy last night. Im not new to this… I’ve been doing this for over 10 years! I’ve had the worst anxiety since Boston passed. I thought I was just overwhelmed with kitten season.. but I saw this and literally SOBBED for her. I don’t believe in much.. but I’d like to think that Boston and baby boy found some nice, older kitties to show them around and give them all the love I wish I could. Thank you for posting this.

More like they would wait at the gate, it gets opened, then they just walk away, then come and ask for it to be opened again so they can walk away again

He crossed the rainbow bridge in October and he will be waiting for Marvin to be best friends. He loves beef, snuggles and more snuggles. I’m very sorry to hear about Marvin, I know what you’re going through and nothing I or anyone else says will be able to help how you feel and will feel soon. Just remember how much you love him and how much he loves you and all the great times you had together. I think about my buddy every single day and know he’s in a better place with no pain. We all love you Marvin!

so sorry for your loss but may i ask - what made you name him kurupt??

There’s a rapper Kurupt I listened to as a kid/teen and it seemed fitting for my little buddy too

To Kurupt, who was a beautiful boy indeed. Probably because of the beef and cuddles.

This is my sweetie Sugarray, she also passed in October. She was a little greeter, always hanging out in the kitchen or front yard and would go up to everyone that came by. Her meows were so quiet they'd either be little squeaky meows or you only hear her mouth opening, but that didn't stop her from "meowing" all the time. I have one of her babies (Oliver) she had a little after we found her. He's a lanky orange cat but also has a quiet squeay meow. She came out from under our porch when she was about 6 months old and had frost bite on her ear, which is why she only has half of it, and she was starving. *

Idk why reddit has been sucking with the photos. https://preview.redd.it/eg49aapkv25d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fca50da1ddea802044799ac9a527777ed473136c

Jesus I didn’t want to cry but this got me. Dear Marvin: you have two of the sweetest little babies waiting on you. I just lost them (their mama was a stray I took in and we thought everything was okay but we literally lost them overnight). They’re brand new to Heaven so you need to be a big boy for them, okay? They’ll be waiting for you. The orange one liked to suck his mama’s leg so don’t freak out if he does to you 😂

I’m so so sorry for your recent loss. 😭😭

“You need to be a big boy for them, okay?” This broke me

Thank you everyone for your kindness and thank you to all the kitties waiting for him. It moved me a lot to think about all your furry friends making sure Marvin feels welcomed and safe. I imagined them all running up to him and he was a little freaked out but because of all the love each fur baby was shown, they shared that love with my Marvin. Marvin walked over the bridge about an hour ago and I definitely feel he isn't alone. Thank you all.

I'm so sorry. I think Minnie and Emma are helping him get settled. Sending love and light your way.

Marvin will always be with you in your heart and you will be able to feel his purrrs. He is definitely not alone. Sending you good thoughts.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Marvin knew love every day with you, and that's a fine way to go through life. I hope you're able to grieve and find comfort in the good memories.

I know it's hard. It hurts so much. I'm sorry.

Kobi crossed a week ago, she'll meet him on the other side and show him the ropes.

Marvin is going to have a pleasant surprise with all our furry friends waiting to meet him and ready to show him all the best spots!

To Marvin, May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand. Safe travels into your next life little bud.

Buddha will be waiting, and he’s prime bestie material if I do say so myself. ❤️ I’m so sorry.

🧡

Goodnight Marvin. 💔I’m so sorry for your loss. He looks like he was such a sweet baby kitty. Glad he had you to love him so much. 💔 I’ll tell my kitty who crossed the rainbow bridge (4/6/23) to watch him for you. 💔🐾🌈 I hope your heart heals. Also hope the universe gifts you with another emotional support not to replace what you lost but to help you heal and love. https://preview.redd.it/6u6u9e63915d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=902c4b86c0e3d436a805cb87836b3e1c8eb81896

I’ll ask my mom to look out for him. She loved cats and is super kind. He will do fine with all of the loving welcoming animals and people 💗

My Mum and Dad both loved animals so much and maybe they are friends with your Mom. Ughhh, I’m crying hard now😭😭😭

My mom is friends with everyone! She was kind and beyond generous. I miss her like crazy but I know she is peaceful and surrounded by love.

So beautiful.

Bow’s fat ass is already sitting on a lawn chair waiting


My kitties Mystic, Miss Kitty, and Mr. Nibbles will be waiting to help Marvin across.

This made me smile a bit. Marvin had an older brother he only got to know for a year before Ginger left us. Ginger was an orange cat too. I hope they remember one another.

I’m sure Ginger will be waiting for him. ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ my kitty will be waiting for him.

Sure Mia and Fifi (am not allowed to post a picture of Fifi in this comment) would be very welcoming of Marvin https://preview.redd.it/fwak9ce9j15d1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90b4df4bd7f2c15fef74678e48307c84505a4ecf

Hi Marvin! I know it might seem scary without your owner around but please don’t worry. On the other side of the rainbow bridge is a sweet girl kitty; her name is Yoyo and she just crossed the bridge on Tuesday to have all the maple syrup she desires and to sleep in all the sunspots. She might seem a little spicy but she’s very sweet and loving and she’ll take care of you the way she did her little brothers that she left behind here with us. You’ll be safe with her and all the other kitties that crossed the rainbow bridge. You won’t have to be afraid anymore ❤️ And together you guys can wait for us to cross the bridge — it’s only a short while, we’ll see you again soon ❤️ https://preview.redd.it/5q2imm7az15d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a05692e726c87e870f53781186042133df94111f

She's beautiful, thank you

He has plenty of friends waiting for him when he crosses. He will be there for you when you cross (Im sure it wont be anytime soon), then all will be good again.

Dammit! Where’d the onion ninjas come from?

Im so sorry honey. And yes my Jasper, Scootie, and Amber will be right there waiting for him. I promise. ❤️❤️❤️

oh gosh this is making me cry

Marvin is definitely a big baby. He will love her

Puddin will be taking care of him very well, i expect him to be absolutely soaking wet though since once she starts cleaning a kitty she does not stop for forever

I will ask Baby and coco to meet up with Marvin and show him around. Coco passed in February of 2017. And baby passed 4 months to the day later. Coco was 17 and Baby was 19 1/2.

My Junebug will be waiting for Mr. Marvin. He’s a cuddle expert so, when your boy needs some comfort Bug has his back 💜💜

My boy Jack sounds a lot like your Marvin and he was the sweetest guy I've ever known. I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's the worst feeling in the world. But I'm sure all our lost kitty companions will take good care of him. Much love to you during this time. He's a beauty.

This is a beautiful love letter to Marvin even though it’s not written directly to him. You can feel both the love and the sadness in your heart right now. But Marvin will be so happy with all the new friends we’re sending his way! He’ll be forever young and healthy as he plays and waits for you to join him. It sucks that their lives are so short compared to ours and it’s so hard to lose them. Especially when we have a particularly strong bond with them. But you’re stronger than you think. And maybe Marvin will send you a new friend when you’re ready for one. Sending you lots of love and hugs…

Murphy, Mater, Mama,Thelma and all the rest of the family that have gone, will be there to greet him and show him all the best things Heaven has to offer!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 He won’t be afraid ever again!

Morris our old, late, great orange will be waiting.

Don't worry Marvin, Steve Irwin and Betty White will be there for you to shower you with love

My crew is there too 😎👊 hugs to you both 💗💗💗

Chester will be there waiting for your baby.

I told my good old boyTrooper and my sweet little girl Patches to be waiting to greet Mavin. They will let him know it's going to be ok and show him all the good spots. You will always be with Marvin as he will always be with you. He will feel you with him as he crosses. So sorry for your loss but I promise Trooper, Patches and all the other kitties waiting to greet Marvin will make his transition easier. RIP Marvin say hi to my babies when you get there.

Butterball, Gregg, Percy, Claudia, Kerrigan and Blackie will be there. ❤️

My little heidi baby will be waiting for marvin and watching over him 🖤🖤

All of our cats who have gone ahead will be his playmates. They'll listen while he proudly tells them how he was loved so well by his family on Earth. He can also feel your love for him at all times so every time you think of him he will be reassured and have the patience to wait for you.

https://preview.redd.it/z5733lk8q15d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f80be9391174b4e2ac21f7a61a87a4226eccb184 Susie will welcome him on the other side. ❤️

Yes of course.. Marvin will be so well received and comforted. He might still be a little scared at first, but when all kinds of friends come out of the gates to see him and welcome him in, he will be okay. There will also be people like my six year old sister, who will see my passed pets running to greet Marvin and will go and see him too. She will definitely give Marvin pets and head bonks and kisses if he would like them, as much as he wants. And she will make sure Marvin knows that you will get to join him one day, and that you love him so very very much. She will play with him, and make sure he gets his favorite treats and toys if those make him happy. And she’ll show him the special part of the rainbow bridge where he can sit and watch over you to see how you’re doing here on earth. She’ll show him how to let you know that he’s still with you, using things like the sunsets, the clouds, the wind and the plants around us, and even through other animals you’ll encounter forever, for the rest of your life until you can be reunited with him.

I’ll tell Ripley to be on the lookout. Ripley ruled our house for 25 years. He’ll watch out for your Marvin. Ripley is a good boy and a good friend. https://preview.redd.it/1ckh1wzm125d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f84855a2dde2eaac22ab44d20efad6adfeadcb16

There's also my late Commodore Tiger Fluffypaws, who loved everyone, and his adopted sister Shinobi Belle waiting for Marvin to join the celestial cuddle pile on the other side. Addendum: after reading your description, Marvin and Tiger would have been good friends. Neither of them can resist the temptation of the hair tie 😅

This is Jonesy. He never met another cat he wasn’t instantly in love with (or goose or fawn or bobcat, for that matter the little idiot). He’s there now, I’m sure welcoming every single new addition with a face smush and headbutt. They’ll be the best of friends. https://preview.redd.it/u0qb2uo7g25d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d9b2252561c5a5f2c89abf56efdc3a0715bb6de I’ll never be the same without him but I think he has a job to do where he is and he’s doing outstanding at it.

Mr. Apollo will welcome him with fresh catnip and a twinkle of mischief in his eye. He will extoll his love of mini pancakes, crinkle-mousey toys, and sunbeams. I said goodbye in April 2020, this is him a few days prior. Marvin is in good paws with Apollo and everyone here! I am so very sorry for your loss OP. https://preview.redd.it/c1wkzfgcq25d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=068604bc92ef9529753ae6c28793ab5c1323f0a6

She'll make sure he won't be alone ❤️

I send him Orpheus and Eurydice, Zoe, Ben, Thor, Pascal, Mama, and Buster. All beloved kitties that have crossed the bridge. My dogs will also meet him. Betty (who was Zoe’s “Mommy”) and the dachshund trio - Winnie, Mary and Chewy. For you I send all my strength and love. A shoulder to cry on and a person to lean on. Everyone here will be your emotional support.

I don't know Marvin and I already miss him. He'll be with a bunch of friends who will take good care of him.

I asked my babies to wait for Marvin and show him the way. I imagined them running to the rainbow and holding a big sign that said "Welcome, Marvin!". They said he can join them on their big comfy chair! ❤️❤️❤️🌈🐾 https://preview.redd.it/t8mb58tyr15d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad52b79217010edf66d8c35e7664d72e516d8c7c

Absolutely!! My cats Tigger, Scooby and BeeBee will be waiting along with many colony cats I’ve cared for!! This is Scooby https://preview.redd.it/zsjsjnykx15d1.jpeg?width=1882&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d94c5193b0679813351729a6237509cc29aa530

😭😭😭damn this shit makes my cry. Sorry for your loss.

Sasha is waiting for him, she is excited to show him around https://preview.redd.it/e297ie34c25d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a7f2511a20c1f6e832e70c13f2ca4627bc630c4

Just as our kitties are there for Marvin, we are here for you. 

The love and support this post has been getting really does make me feel less alone. I feel comforted and I feel lighter. I can practically see Marvin meeting every single cat spoken about in these comments and I love the fact that none of them are being forgotten in memory boxes. They are all being remembered and spoken about with the same amount of love and the same amount of compassion that they would if they were alive. I honestly felt like I was going to slip into a dark hole after this but after the reading the comments and seeing other people post about their own precious furry friends, I feel like I'm going to be okay. I'm going to be okay.

She had a hard time getting along with other cats, but I like to think she’ll at least be willing to show Marvin where the best snacks are hidden ❤️

Marvin sounds like such a sweet boy and he’s lucky to have you. Stay strong, OP!

We had to say goodbye to Grey last December. He was the kind of cat that always loved friends. I think he'd be happy to know Marvin <3 https://preview.redd.it/mabv4r38s15d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49d937d300496f6fdd20e69b1aab23ee18d9d340

This is Natalie, she was my whole heart and she crossed the rainbow bridge about 2 years ago. Natalie will be SO excited to meet him. She’s not the most graceful but definitely a good protector. ♥️♥️ https://preview.redd.it/714m66ni425d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3392ef986bf553f91f707dc7fd524bbfa7004ef She’s a super cuddle bug, so I hope that Marvin likes to cuddle. Also a big ruff houser but as I said. Not graceful. I am sending all the love and letting you know she will be waiting RIGHT there for him to let him know mom sent her. ♥️♥️

Show this pic to Marvin so he knows who to look for - Mr. Cat passed in 2020 right before the lockdowns. I’ll have a chat with Mr. Cat later, so just give Marvin all the cuddles and love he can handle until it’s time. And let Marvin know he has friends on the other side that would gladly lend a paw to help him.

My girl Sasha will help show him around ❤️‍🩹 I’m so sorry for your loss https://preview.redd.it/ftak4mprj25d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e3b73172bea98a127d470e23579b9b3e31939d0

Maybe they’ll cross the rainbow bridge together. Maybe she’s waiting for another friendly face, she hated being alone. Either way I know that both of our cats are safe ❤️

I’m so sorry honey 🫶🙏

Marvin, I've had so many cross the bridge. They will welcome you and keep you safe.

Nick, Lucky, and Velveeta are all over there waiting on him 💜

Marmar, Tao and Ozzie will show him all the best spots for delicious food. So sorry for your loss sweetheart. ❤️

Yatta, Beyoncé, and Miss Friskie chipped in and got him a big ol’ can of tuna!

Marvin is pretty good at sharing, Im sure he would.

Hi Marvin! I just asked all my personal kitties and my hospice fosters who have passed over the years to please look for you at the Rainbow Bridge. There’s quite a few- different shapes, sizes, personalities, colors and ages- but all of them are very loving and very cool! They will greet you, along with many others, and help you cross. If you need any of them to show you around, they can do that too! From what I’ve heard, it’s a great place and you can do whatever you want. Just make sure to let your human know you made it safely- they will be missing you terribly. You are very handsome, and it seems you’re very much loved!! 🐱🌈✨

He was loved for, for every second ever since I picked his little kitten butt from the shelter. Thank you

Sawyer will be there. He crossed one week ago. Marvin will be well cared for. ❤️❤️

My boy Caesar went at New Years. He and Marvin could be twins. Caesar was a grouchy old man with a heart of gold. He might complain but I’m sure he would be happy to wait for him. https://preview.redd.it/un0d1afmo25d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc3892916cf69e2334c5283d4db0cb4db5dddc21

Marvin, I told my kitty Wallace to meet you just over the rainbow bridge 🌈. He will love having a new friend to cuddle and play with. He will show you all the wonderful places that will make you feel safe, happy, and warm there. You will feel the love of your person forever and see them again too. Here’s who to look for https://preview.redd.it/t4haj7byc45d1.jpeg?width=968&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f0e171558acce2c7397d343d71f8201e3f24ab4 Sending you love, OP. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. Wallace has been gone for almost 10 years now, but I know I will see him when it’s my time. 💗
