Who is this guy, and what is he doing in my house?! The universe works in strange ways: Two weeks, two days after I said goodbye to my beloved Beauty Girl, a friend called and needed a home for this wonderful guy – \”Boots\”. My friends\’ mother was very ill and will be in a care facility until April, so Boots is living with me. Needless to say I am already in love. And, I still grieve my sweetheart. But Boots sure is great company and makes me laugh and smile. OH! He fetches and retrieves the toy I throw – I\’ve never had a cat do that. And he\’s big-15 lbs. whereas my BG was 7lbs, tops. He is a wonderful surprise 🙂 -

How nice of you, Dianne. The sympathy and understanding of our community is what makes us work and care together to heal, and remember the loves and joys we were lucky enough to share. I think of Mama Cat (George) often, especially since I said goodbye to my old beloved girl two weeks ago. Always sending you {{HUGS}} Toni -

@karastar6 Precious….that’s a wonderful name and describes our loving relationships, Irene. We would love to see pictures of Precious, and hear about your lives together. How are you holding up, Irene?

Precious passed in 1995. He was an angora, the son of my other cat Cinnamon. I had to put both of them down at the same time. The doctor wouldn’t let me stay and say goodbye. I was hysterical. Not 1 day goes by I feel so much guilt for that. I think about them everyday. Along with Jasmine. I lost her in 2010. I feel guilty for her because I wasn’t home enough. She had kidney problems. Precious and Cinnamon had cancer. So everyday is hard for me. Kara the cat I have now since 2013 she was a blessing. With her also have Star. He is so crazy. He was my sister’s cat. When she got sick I took him. He is a pistal. They are my world.

Irene, I’ve been thinking back and am not sure it was widely offered in the ’90’s – being with our pets when they were being let go. Of course we now know how helpful it is to be together at that time, but I really hope you will not feel guilty – it may not have been an option then. We can’t always be with our pets as much as we like – we have obligations and duties (have to work to pay for pet food!) and I suspect our pets do fine when we are away. I am glad you have Kara and Star to keep you company. I know how empty my home has been since my Beauty Girl died two weeks ago, and how much nicer it feels to have the company of Boots now, even if he’s only a temporary resident :-). Irene, please release your guilt. You are obviously a loving, caring pet parent and have had to go through a lot of very tough partings. You deserve a medal, not guilt. What do you think?

Oh Jackie, I am so sorry. Watching them fail, and waiting for the right time to say goodbye is grueling. Every day you worry and wonder how they are feeling. She sure is a cutie. How old is she? And, it’s not strange to miss Boo – there is no timeline on grief and the emptiness is real. I know it’s hard, but take care of yourself, too. And keep us posted. I’ll be thinking of you, Jackie. {{HUG}} -

I know, Belinda. It’s painful and empty, isn’t it? It takes time and allowing yourself to feel all the feelings. I find great comfort petting and holding my stuffed cat. That may sound strange, but it has really helped me. One of these days we will meet another kitty to love, but we have to be ready and that happens when it’s right. I am thinking of you with sympathy and hope you are finding smiles before tears with Tinkerbell’s memories. Stay in touch with us here. {{HUG}} Toni -
