[JoiseyMom]

So sorry for your loss.

Thank you all so much! It helps to know people understand. And reading your posts, it helps me to remember that he did know and feel the love we had for him. That means alot to me, that he could know that.

I would sit there and talk to him in my "kitty voice" and he would just look at me with the most loving expression.. - I will never forget that look as long as I live.

Iam right there with ya, my cat of 15yrs just died thursday. The sad part was my 13yr dd was home from school no more than 5 mins when she found poor Stinky on the floor breathing her last breaths. She was sick for a few weeks,but my poor dd was hystarical and I had to leave work to and wrap her in a sheet and place her in a plastic bag till my husband got home. Well dd was very upset about her being placed in a plastic bag saying She deserves better. I told her we had to, she did hold her for awhile and put her mouse next to her stating so she will have something to play with on her way to heaven.But it is hard, she out lived 2 cats and 2 boxers.

Its amazing how much a part of the family they become so quickly..God Bless you and your family with good memories of your furbaby!
Lynn

Oh, Anna Marie - I really feel for you. When I lost my Garfield, my sisters sent me flowers. That just made me cry, because it was rare to have cut flowers on a table because Garfield would eat them! So, now I can have flowers in a vase on the table.


I hope your son will talk about this. What a tough age. He probably feels like he's too old to cry, but he probably should.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost one our cats in Feb. to kidney failure. It happened suddenly. I felt guilty thinking I should have noticed something was wrong sooner, and thinking what if I had done something different. Dont blame yourself. You did all that you could for him. I read a book "Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates", and it helped me a lot.

I am so sorry. Don't feel that you failed him - he came to you for comfort, he just wanted ones that he loved with him when he went to Heaven rather than be alone.

I lost my puppy to Leukemia in August 2008 - I actually had to work a half day and rushed home as I knew our time with her was going to be short. She waited to go until I got home, put my hand on her heart and she slipped away. I think in my heart that she knew that it was her time and she just wanted the ones she loved with her to slip away peacefully.

I made a photo album on shutterfly or one of those places with her in it - we keep it next to her ashes in our hutch and that helped my daughter deal with her grief. It has helped us all heal a lot better.

I am sure he loved you all more than anything and is watching over all of you now. Just keep his memory in your heart always and again I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry... I know how hard it is to lose a fur baby.

I'm sorry. I know how you feel. We lost our beautiful Main Coon 6 mths ago. He had cancer. He was 12.5 yrs.

I'm so sorry. Please don't be so hard on yourself, you took excellent care of Mr. Kitty and I'm sure he had a wonderful life with lots of love.

I am so sorry to hear about Mr Kitty. Don't feel like you failed him you where trying to get him help and it was just his time. I know how you feel though because 6 years ago my 5 year old kitty had a sezuire while I was at work, my husband was at home and called me. I rushed home as quickly as I could (normally a 15-20 min trip took me about 10) Just like you she died on the way to the vet. I felt guilty and like I let her down at the time and your post made me think about her. Funny thing is as I was reading your post my other kitty (he's 12) hopped up on my lap and gave me some loving.

Hopefully you and your family can remember good times with Mr. Kitty and all the love he gave you and the love you guys gave him in his wonderful life. Remember the joy he brought you. I am sure that will help everyone. I found a webpage that has a section for Pet Loss and Children - it might be helpful. http://www.paws2heaven.com/grieving_a_pet.htm

I'm sorry.

I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your kitty.

We have a 19 year old that is not doing so well. She has lost a lot of weight and we have to practically hand feel her to get her to eat. We refer to her as our grannie lady. I dread the day that we lose her.

Take care.

I am so sorry. Having just lost our sweet dog a few months ago, I can sympathize all too well. It is heartbreaking. I still cry over my Lucy, and miss her so much. I will say prayers for your family.

I'm so sorry!

We lost our cat Huey whom I'd had since I was an older teenager in 2006 and to this day, it is difficult to talk about him. He was such a fantastic cat and unfortunately, I also felt that I failed him in his last hours. I know he knew we loved him, but it still breaks my heart.

Your post prompted me to go get my old boy Booey who is 13. He is showing his age as he is getting boney and just tired. He also feels my love. I talk to him and sing to him and he loves it. He had a medical issue not long ago that also made him seek me out in the middle of the night. At first, I brushed him away thinking he was just being senile and frisky, but when I realized he was ill, I was so mad at myself!

Hugs to you and your family for your loss!

I'm so sorry.

I know how you feel. I had to make the tough decision to put our beloved Tigger to sleep. He had been ill for over a week (he was diabetic and 16 yo) and we had been to the vet 2x's that week. The 3rd vet visit, the Dr discovered fluid in his lungs. I knew that Tiggs was suffering. But, I feel that I failed him because I didn't get meds and try to treat the fluid. In my heart of hearts, I know that we did the best, most humane thing by letting him go, because he was suffering, but I always wonder if I didn't give up on him.

Mr. Kitty loved you and came to you to say good-bye. He is now at Rainbow Bridge and will meet you there someday. You did the best you could do and Mr. Kitty knew that.

Take Care.

Sorry about your loss.
When I lost my 2 yr old Lasha Apso (I took her to the vet to be fixed,she died after the surgry) We had a funeral,just our family,my son played the guitar as I walked to back yard with her wraped in a blue silk blanket. We all told our favorite story about her and told ways we would miss her. My son wrote song and sung it. Then we burried her and had a little reception.
This really helped my boys deal with the grief. We still cry over her to this day.
The best thing you could do is get another kitten to love,when you are ready of course.

I'm sorry...I almost lost my cat a few months ago and it was so painful...
He had feline cholangiohepatitis, we were preparing ourselves for the worse.
He lost 9 lbs, was jaundiced, did not eat or drink.

My husband feed him with a syringe and we gave him iv fluids for several weeks. The vet had offered euthanasia and we decided that we wanted to keep him home instead,just for him to stay home and keeping him comfortable.

I cried and prayed so much, I also wondered how we had failed him, how did I not notice his weight loss?
Mr Kitty had a nice loving home, it was time, you didn't failed him. It's ok to cry and miss him, it's part of the grieving process. My prayers are with you.
