My cat died

[bretonbanquet]

So sad it's the price we pay for love.

I hope your husband is OK - at least you have each other

So sorry to hear about your loss Paula

[wondergirl9847]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know what you are feeling in terms of "what if". Next month, it will be a year since we had to put my dog, Candy down. The guilt is overwhelming.

My condolences to you and your husband.

Oh, Paula- losing pets is soooooo hard. Especially when it is sudden like this. Geoffrey and I had three cats and we've lost two of them within the last couple of years. One of them was great one day and then -wham!- kidney failure and a couple of days later we had to put her down.

It is really, really sad and I'm so sorry to hear about this.

Go over and hug Bubba and pour your heart out to him- sloppy kisses help in times like this.

Oh my God! What is going on with the Ledgepets?

I'm really sorry Paula. I know how hard that was - Rocky's death was very similar. And the "what if's" afterwards are the worst. Good thought for your hubby as well.

I'm off to pet Zorro for a minute and give him a few treats.

Paula what can I say except that I feel terrible for what happened to tour cat.

Damn cats. Why do we have to get so attached to them? I'm so sorry girl. I feel so bad for you and Mark. I had the pleasure of sleeping with Cosmo
That cat had quite the personality. He walked around your house like he owned it. He was like the dog Mark never had (before you got Bubba). At least Mrs. Bouvier and Bubba still have each other. That will help her get through it. Everytime I lose a cat, I think, OMG, I will never love another cat like him again and every time I get a new kitty, I do love them just as much and I find (for me) getting another kitten right away really helps with the grieving process. It helps get your mind off Cosmo. You're not forgetting him, you're just getting alittle help getting through this and I know he would understand. It's so hard when their young and it happens so fast but it sounds like he didn't suffer and that he went very peaceful and you and Mark were there, so I hope that helps you feel alittle better.

(((((Hugs))))) Tell Mark I'm so sorry and that I'm thinking about you guys.

I know. I looked at him today & said "now imagine if we each lived alone & only had one cat & it died." We just shook our heads.

Bubba does not seem to notice that Cosmo is gone yet. Boo is iffy - she looked at the spot where his food dish was for a while, but is acting normally. She's definitely revelling in all the extra attention she's getting.

Thanks for understanding, everyone. And thanks for the kind words.

Our family had this Calico from when she was a kitten to when she died at 19. That was tough.

This made me laugh (I hope it was meant too). I'm so used to you always being funny.

Keep your chin up girl!

Yeah, it was. He's too busy eating, sleeping & farting to notice what the hell's going on around here.

I'm talking about my dog, btw, not my hubby.
