pets will come and go…yes its sad… but honestly,its a part of life.if you love something let it go,if it loves you, it will come back someday.just remember,……..love,joy,and happiness for our 4 leg companions is like a fragile rose,……sometimes it blossoms…sometimes it breaks,….and sometimes it dies.

One our cats, Frasier, passed away a month ago. He was almost 14 years old and was adopted along with his brother Niles by us at 10 weeks old. He passed away snuggling with us on the couch as he did every night. We decided to have him created and place his ashes in a nice wood photo cube. I still think about him everyday. Let yourself grieve. For me at first it was lots of tears. Now it’s tears here and there and more smiles about all the great years with him. If you have other pets, give them attention and time to grieve as well. Niles, our other cat has always been vocal, but now a lot more. We know he misses his buddy. My thoughts go out to others that recently lost a beloved pet.

Katherine, I’m so sorry to hear about losing Cash. Running outdoors always comes with risks. I’m sure you were very close to Cash. When you are hit by a shock like you have described it is easy to feel guilt, anger, sorrow, crazy all bunched in together. You are allowed to feel angry, let down, sad and miss him, it is part of being human. You will feel like this for a bit of time and eventually you will feel better. Do what you must, that is how so many of us ended up here at this website, looking for people to share our innermost feelings with and to find answers to the craziness.

I believe God the creator can re-create Cash in heaven and there he can run and not get hit.

Take one day at a time and don’t be too hard on yourself.

I’m having a hard time coping. My little baby boy, barely a year old, was ran over on Tuesday. The hardest thing was that I saw him get ran over, and watched him slowly die. It took me several months to find him and adopt him. He was my first kitten out of my parents home. He was a super spoiled orange tabby. His name was Cash. We called him Cash Kitty, Cash Money, Cashepoo…you name it. I don’t like to dwell on, and have others around me upset, but he was my baby, my best friend and we had a deep special bond. We even “talked” to each other. I would talk to him and he would just meow back..and it breaks my heart that he had to suffer the way he did. I guess I just need someone to tell me that I’m grieving normally, I”m not crazy…and that everything is going to be okay. I can’t tell you how many offers I have gotten for a new kitty, or how many people have called to tell me they are sorry for my loss. I would post so many pictures and videos of him on Facebook to share with my friends and family so in a way I’m honored that so many people loved my baby has much as I did, and still do. I just wish he never got curious for the outdoors and was never ran over. I feel guilty. I’m angry at the person that hit him, even though it was just a freak accident. I’m sad that my uber best friend is gone, and I’m heart broken I’ll never hear him meow again.

One of my cat’s just died about 7 hours ago. She had heart trouble and was on meds and doing very well. The vet believes she must have suffered a heart attack she could not recover from. They saw her last week and were in disbelief that she was so well then and died today despite their best efforts.

I put my feelings on paper and will bury them with her. I will always love her and will miss her.

I believe your blessed Potiron receives your message of love, Linda. May God’s peace comfort you through this difficult time.

The vet came to the house on December 16, and she diagonosed diabetes. Potiron (French for Pumpkin) had been operated for skin cancer in July, and he would have been upset, terrified by more treatment. I had promised to never take him to the vet again, and this vet makes housecalls – Bless her. Dear Potiron, I hope you are alright. I miss you so much. We had 13 years together, and I am grateful for each second, each game, each cuddle, your bright curiosity, your irrepressible will, and even when you would make me mad when you would trip me as I walked by. Such a big personality in such a small cat! Mon Petit Ours, my Little Bear, my Mr Brown, mon Ti-Ours-Ti-Ours..Best cat ever (bilingual, too!) My favourite reading companion. Am reading Charles Dickens’s biography, and feel your absence. I hope you had a happy life (even if it was in a Montreal apartment – you had the full run of the place). I hope you are alright now. Thank you, my friend. I loved – still love – my brave, wee laddie boy.

We lost our neighborhood cat today Sheila. Her heart was giving out and she couldn’t breath to good. My neighbor decided she was not going to have a good quality of life so she made the decision to put her down. My heart is breaking cause I kind of always looked out for her when she was out side. I will miss calling to her and watching her chase the birds (she never got one that i saw) …. I pray she’s up with the little kids in heaven keeping them company now. Such a good cat. I will miss you Sheila. You will always be part of my life too.
