My longtime roommate and best friend, Cat (yes, I named her Cat)had to be put to sleep today.
Apparently she found a cache of thread and she could not regurgitate it. I was successful in extracting about 15” but it broke off and the next time she was trying to oust it I caught her and was able to get another 15 or inches but it broke off and I was unable to reach any more. The Vet (kind of) led me to believe that the string probably wrapped around her intestine and I probably worsened the situation - although he kindly didn’t ‘blame’ me.
I finally took her in today and luckily I got the ‘old guy’ Vet - still a kid but at least I didn’t have to tell a young bright eyed girl to ‘do the deed’.
Will have to replace her soon, so as I can maintain my sanity but will be haunted by the fact that I know she is in this room, right now and every noise I hear is taken for Cat jumping on my desk or worse...
I certainly hope that I gave her as much as she gave me.

Thanks for your ‘time’.......

Oh I’m so sorry! I so often tell my kitty that she is my “best friend in the world,” and indeed she is. What a wonderful comfort and blessing they are but the pain is so wrenching when we ultimately outlive them.

I lost one nine years ago, she would curl up in my arms every night and purr me to sleep. I still miss her. But when I do I stop and ask the Lord to give her a kiss for me.

I am firmly convinced that our beloved pets go immediately to heaven, and do in fact await our arrival. Sincerely praying that God will comfort you as only He can.

Awwww, sorry for your loss. That sucks big time. =(.

I lost my eldest Kitty (yes I named her Kitty) 12/16/10. I still look for her in her usual spots.

I know what you mean about the noises.

Sorry for your heartbreak.

I'm so sorry, xrmusn. May she rest in peace.

You have my total and utter sympathy for the loss of your
roommate, best friend, and kitty, Cat. My Rocket the Cat
died early Saturday morning here at home, of chronic renal
failure and congestive heart failure. He was a good boy.

I can truthfully say that your pain is my pain.

Sorry to hear about Cat. I had to put my best friend Timmy down 7 years ago this month. I still miss him, but thank the Lord that he let me have the joy of his companionship for 10 years.

I’m sorry, losing a pet sucks so bad. It’s especially hard when it’s sudden like this.

Hugs to you——I am so sorry. I know your heart is breaking. I hope you can take some comfort in the fact that you gave Cat a good life, and lots of love. Bless her little heart.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Cat. Please don't blame yourself - they can get into all kinds of things we never even imagine could hurt them. Another kitteh IS a cure for a broken heart. After we lost our Emily (15 years), I did not think I was ready to love another I missed her so much. But my wonderful husband knew me better and within two weeks we had a new kitten, Stella, who is now nine. She healed my heart, she really did. Don't wait, go to your nearest shelter and give a kitteh a new and loving home. I'll bet there is one there right now ESPECIALLY waiting for you.
