Interwoven with the stories are brief meditations as well as fun facts about cats. Did you know cats purr at the same frequency that increases bone density and strengthens and heals fractures? Can you understand why cats were revered as gods in ancient Egypt? (Cats still believe this!)

Rainbows & Bridges: An Animal Companion Memorial Kit

The loss of a pet companion can be as devastating as the death of a human loved one. Rainbows and Bridges offers an array of thoughtful ways to deal with that loss.

Rainbows and Bridges gently guides the bereaved through the process of recalling the past, grieving in the present, and finding hope in the future.
