I AM SAD TO SAY THAT MY CAT DIED LAST NIGHT. SHE WAS THE LAST OF OUR INSIDE CATS. SHE WAS MY FAVORITE OF ALL MY CATS. I AM VERY SAD TODAY. SHE STRUGGLED ALL LAST NIGHT BUT COULDN'T MAKE IT. SHE HAD SEIZURES & KEPT FALLING. I WITNESSED ALL OF IT, TOO. BY THE WAY, SHE IS THE CAT THAT I HAD TROUBLE WITH BEFORE. I MENTIONED HER BEFORE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T READ OR REMEMBER MY POST QUITE A FEW MOS. BACK, SHE USED TO UPSET ME & I WANTED TO STOP MYSELF FROM HURTING HER ONE DAY WHEN SHE KNOCKED A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF AROUND. I DIDN'T HURT HER BUT MANY TIMES I YELLED AT HER. I FEEL ESPECIALLY GUILTY NOW THAT SHE IS GONE. MY HEART IS BROKEN BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER WHEN I LOVED HER. SHE WAS A VERY SPECIAL CAT & I WILL MISS HER. I HOPE I DON'T SOUND BAD BECAUSE I MISTREATED HER. I JUST NEVER REALLY KNEW WHAT TO DO. OH WELL...LIFE GOES ON. KATHLEEN
One of my cats died in the last year. I felt really badly because I know all the moving I did had an effect on him. I am sure you did the best you could. My one remaining cats knocks stuff around all the time. The more I work a program the better I do with being a cat's momma. Please be kind to yourself.
Kathleen, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had the pleasure of many pets company and it never gets easier when they leave before I am ready to see them go. Take care.
I lost my cat Sidney to cancer in May, and just received word a couple of days ago from my exAH that our outside kitty, Wiley, who was a stray who showed up one day a couple of years ago, got hit by a car and died.
In my own life, sometimes, I, too, don't always realize what I had until it is gone. That's the way it is with us humans, I guess.
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I can honestly say that the ONLY creature that I felt very close to and total acceptance with was a cat named WEA.
No human.
She was the best. We were kind of cantankerous with each other but we loved the heck out of each other and even though we bickered a bit every single day we both abided together in love.
She will always remain in my heart long after all the humans have been forgotten. J.
I am so sorry about your loss, I know how much that hurts. I just lost my Shay in August, on my birthday. That was like insult to injury. I still mourne the loss of my baby. My other animals, 1 dog and 2 cats, really miss her too. It is so hard and painful. But in my experience, those babies forgive and forget as quickly as you yell at them. They are smart too and do things just to get at you. I know it is hard to lose your cat, but I hope that you let your guilt go because your cat wouldn't want that for you. I know you had fun times, try to focus on those. I hope you know we are all here for you. Take care of yourself!!
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dog a little over a year ago. It still hurts I miss him so much. But I know he is in a better place. I've yelled at my cat too but i'm getting better about that. I feel guilty for yelling at my dog too especially now that he is gone. We are not perfect but we love our animals.
My heart breaks for you and Spooky. I know you didn't mean to mistreat her. Cats can be trying at times, that's why they are cats. Just remember you were with her in her last moments. She knew you loved her. She loved you. Pipers Kitty and I are keeping you and Spooky in our prayers. She's now in a better place, with lots of mice, chipmunks and all the treats she loves. Love and blessings to you and your family.
In sympathy, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

So sorry for your loss of Spooky. They love us and we love them. Spooky understood that you were human. I have yelled at my pets exasperated when they don't behave and get in trouble. They always come back.
