Feeling very very sad. My favorite cat (a good friend) died today.

Carl - that is a beautiful thought. However, I still have many kitties even with this loss. You see ... all my cats have come to me as drop offs by people who leave them to die here in the country. We take them in, get them spayed and neutered, and give them the love they deserve. Most of our kitties are outdoor cats, but a few make it to "housecat" status - after wiggling their furbodies into our hearts. Floyd was one of two kittens that came to us through a pregnant female that was dropped off. She had her kittens and we kept those two. Found homes for the rest. Then had her spayed. We still have the mother in fact.

Having said that, I strongly encourage anyone considering adding to their family - to follow Carls advice. So many need homes and care.

I'm so sorry DD!

It's just awful to lose a pet. They really are a part of our family.

Your post has brought me to tears. What a sad day for you. Just remember that good kitties go to Kitty Heaven and Floyd is probably getting his kitty wings right now.

DixieDreamer...Two things. First and most important....I am so sorry to hear about your losing your Floyd. He was a beautiful cat and looked like he had a terrific personality. {{{{{hugs}}}}}
Second....thank-you for what you do for all those poor cats. My step-sister does the same thing. I know how much work and energy goes into this. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, both from myself and from all those animals who have gotten a second chance through you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I lost my baby last August to cancer. She died while we were at WDW. My mom had been caring for her while we were gone. I got her when she was 2 weeks old (its a long story) and miss her terribly. She looked a lot like your Floyd! Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you.

{{{hugs}}} for you Laura. Floyd was a beautiful cat! We lost one of our dogs a few years ago, so I understand the sadness you are going through. So sorry to hear of your loss.

It took me all day to answer this, Laura, because you know how close this subject is to me.

Then I thought about how generous and kind you were to me when I lost my Rambo.

I will never forget that.

May God give you peace. I know how hard this is. Since I lost Rambo I've been blessed with 4 of the most unbelievable furbabies that each have a piece of Rambo's personality. In a way he never left me.

Floyd, in his own way, is still with you, too.

God bless...
