Mother Earth, we return to you

the body of one of your children.

Her spirit will return to her ancestors,

and she will continue to live in our memories.

We are thankful that we were able

to share our lives with her,

and give her to your loving arms

Bast, we give you back your child.

Noble, regal, honorable cat.

Watch over her, and guide her on her way

to the spirit world.

May she be blessed in your names,

and hunt ever after beside you

POEM FOR CATS
 
And Creator asked the feline spirit
"Are you ready to come home?"
"Oh, yes, quite so," replied the precious soul
"And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself."
"Are you coming then?" asked Creator.
"Soon," replied the whiskered angel,
"But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled.
For you see, they need me, quite certainly."
"But don't they understand?" asked Creator
"That you will never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined? For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is ... forever and ever and ever?"
"Eventually they will understand,"
Replied the glorious cat,
"For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am ... forever and ever and ever."
