I am OK but my kitty died two weeks ago and I am lonely without her. I never thought I would have a beautiful cat like her. I had moments yesterday where I saw her & once I dreamt about her being alive again. That's all. Kathleen
I can relate to that sense of remorse. I can also relate to memorable dreams. I recently had one of those also and it was soooo vivid that it woke me up and I found myself saying repeatedly...Thank you, thank you, thank you. For those few seconds it was like I had never lost what I lost. That it was like before the loss. I am so grateful for the event.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine being without Pipers this time of year. I would take those images you have of her as a sign from her saying she's okay, not to worry. The nightmares I would have of my beloved Tim use to bother me. Now I take it as a way to remember his sweet face and sound of his voice. I swear he has called out to me once or twice when I've been sleeping. It scared the heck out of me. Now I'm glad it's happened. Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

Thanksgiving without my dog. He died three weeks ago. He was the best. Protected the family, jog with me, and got so excited when I came home from work. Think of the good memories of your kitty. My dog died in peace; his work was done. Hopefully your kitty is in peace too.
Oh honey, I know how much that hurts!!!!!! (((((hugs)))))
I feel like I'm running a senior center for animals right now, two dogs over 15 years of age, a 14 year old, several elderly cats. It's never easy when they leave us.
Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss too, dear! (((hugs)))

One of my kitty's died this year. My memories of him during the holidays are such happy ones. He love Christmas, was enchanted with the tree, the ornaments all of it. We are so lucky to have them for a short time.
It's hard to believe but it's been almost a year and a half since I put my black lab down and I still miss her each and every day. I've just begin being able to look at other dogs happy with their owners and not feel so much sadness.
Feel the feelings hon. I know I did. Do you have pictures of your kitty? I have almost a whole wall dedicated to my Bailey - all pictures of everyone with her in shadow box frames and it's wonderful to see her and realize how much love we gave each other.
You and your kitty are in my thoughts, Maria
