I lost my cat few years back whom I had since I was 6 years old. I loved Max so much and reading that rainbow bridge poem really was touching. He dissapeared years ago one night in december and we never found him, so in a way there never was complete closure since I never found out what happened to him. Every April since then I celebrate Maxwell Awareness Month. It's a month long celebration I made up to honour him and other pets who were close to us, who made us laugh, cry and stayed with us...as well we also honour our animals who remain with us. I got 3 wonderful cats who suceed him, and 1 dog.
