One Less Soul In My Home Tonight...
I lost one of my cats tonight. Her name was Smokey, and she was a wonderful companion for 12 years.
I adopted her, and her stepbrother, in 2000 after my "cat buddy" of 21 years passed. She was a rescue cat who, I'm certain, was mentally and/or physically abused by her former owners. She wanted nothing to do with humans, but I was determined. It took about 4 months before she allowed me to pet her & interact with her. After that, the bond grew & we eventually ended up having a wonderful relationship.
She had been acting a bit lethargic lately, but I just attributed that to getting older. The last few days she was just not acting right, and I planned on taking her to the vet on Monday. This morning she seemed relatively OK, yelling at me to get out of bed, etc. When I went to check on her around 9PM tonight I found her laying in the middle of my bed - gone.
I'm having a hard time dealing with this right now & could use a virtual hug & some pixie dust to help me thru. She was a great little gal & I'll miss her very much.
First trip, Christmas 1971.
Last Trip, Oct. 2017 - ICOT20!

I am so sorry for your loss. We have two cats. One 13yrs old and the other a kitten, They are so funny and bring us such joy. I do worry that any day now the older one will leave us. Everytime I catch her sleeping I go over to make sure she is breathing. So I am sending you lots of hugs for this difficult time..

I'm so sorry for your loss. Its never easy, is it?
My mother lost our childhood cat just a few weeks ago. She too went downhill quickly and passed at home. Mom (and us adult kids) have held on to the fact that she passed at home, where she knew she was safe and loved and didn't have to be stressed by a trip to the vets office. I hope you can find peace in that it was the same for your furbaby.

I'm so sorry. The problem with our furry friends is that they just don't live long enough! Just a few weeks ago I lost my cat of nearly 15 years, so I know it's hard.

I'm very sorry! We lost our Sam in November who was a wonderful part of our family for 15 years. I know the pain you are feeling. I cried every day for what seemed like forever. Sending you hugs and love. Your baby sounds like she was a wonderful companion. It doesn't feel like it now, but you will start to heal. I adopted another kitty about a month later, with mixed feelings, but I have to say how much having the new one helped. He'll never replace Sam, but we love him and he brings alot of happiness. Best wishes and sorry for your loss. She was very special and you will never forget her. You gave her a great life.

I'm sorry Brad. While it is never easy, it does sound like her passing was peaceful and occurred in a place which was very comfortable for her.

So sorry to hear of your loss
I am sorry to hear that about the loss of your cat. I know just how close a bond you can have with your pets. It is always very sad at the time of their passing, but hopefully you will soon be able to recall the good times you shared without feeling so sad.
We have taken on three rescue cats over the years. The disadvantages are that you don't know what physical and emotional scars they carry and you don't get to share as many years together as you would have liked. However the reward of knowing you changed their lives so much for the better makes it all worthwhile.
Will be keeping you in my prayers.
Angie
