Kairi had Mass cell tumors. One tumor was removed in Dec 2019 and everything was fine till the beginning of February when the tumors started coming up through her skin on her back. The vet gave her meds to shrink them, she didn’t like it. By the beggining of March I knew she wasn’t going to get better, I stopped giving her the pain med because it was such an ordeal to give it to her, because she fought it. I called the vet and told her that Kairi knew it was time. I held her through the whole ordeal. I kissed her and told her that later she would not be in pain anymore and she would have the sun in her face, which she loved to do. I could feel my heart breaking, she meant the world to me, I loved her.-
Ann, how are you feeling today? We all have to honor the quality of life our babies have and make the hard decision to medicate or not, depending on the side affects and how well it’s helping. My 19 year old, Squirt, was ready to say goodbye, I took her to a hospital, and the doctor said she just needed antibiotics. I did the same thing you did with Kairi – tried giving it to her but she got to the point she didn’t want me near her because she didn’t want the medicine and was really ready to call it a day. One week later, she was bleeding from every orifice and I took her to her own vet, and like you, held her. I still resent that the hospital doctor made Squirt endure that final week. I shouldn’t have listened to them. Letting them go peacefully is the kindest, most loving gesture we can make. I still miss her long fur on my clothes. But I sure wouldn’t trade in the many years we shared. You keep us posted on how you are doing.

Cassie never knew Kairi. I got her on May 28th of last year, she was born on the 23rd of March. Somehow I thought it might be an omen. When I took Cassie in for her first checkup I told the vet that if I had to wait till the pain of losing Kairi went away, I would never get another cat. Sometimes the hurt is hard to bare, but I decided to get Cassie and give her a forever home and all the love I have. Kairi will always be with me. I still miss her. 😔-
When Carmel passed o ended up getting a kitten for Sweetness because Sweetness was lonely and looking for Carmel. It Sweetness a lot. Sweetness was sick for 3 days in December and I thought I was going to lose her too but with my quick thinking and nursed her back to health and she was better by her 6 birthday it she was healthy it was all the stress from moving and getting her a kitten. I don’t know if it’s true or not hat cats can see spirits and ghost and she has been pawing at the ceiling but nothing is there . Sweetness wouldn’t eat for a few days after Carmel’s passing. I ate but not much and it’s I’m having a hard time still. She well always be in your heart

Elaine, welcome to Colorado. Animals are very special and important here (and everywhere), and your loving spirit will be embraced. When you get here, let me know, and I may be able to introduce you to a shelter or rescue near you. I’ll put my phone number below. What a proud and handsome fellow Riley was. What breed? How old? How long were you together? A memorial garden is a lovely and loving idea. I think you will find much comfort, and joy, from that. Please, be in touch and know we are here for you, Elaine.

Ann, I had noted that today is your one year anniversary in my calendar, and want to let you know how well I understand the meaning and impact an anniversary has. It brings up so many memories, thoughts, and most of all, feelings. Is Cassie also missing Kairi? I hope you girls lent each other strength today, as you always do, I suspect. And please know that I, and many others, are thinking of you with heartfelt, sincere sympathy, and hope for happy memories. As you know, my old girl is black and looks like Kairi, and I deeply share your pain. I hope this little HUG gives you and Cassie a tiny bit of comfort. Toni-

Ack…I am crying reading these because my old, black cat is failing and I anticipate her passing (maybe she can hang in) and I am so sorry for all of our goodbyes…But intellectually, aren’t we so enriched to have so much love in our lives? There are not many sources of total, committed, sweet, kind accepting love out there, and we are so fortunate to have had it in ours. And we gave the same to them – total love and care. We are walking through this together and I am grateful for our friends in this community. We are creating a separate Memorials area in our community and will be sharing more about that in the near future. I think it will be a special place and way to keep our beloved faithful friends with us. Hugs, Toni -

My Amber-
Amber looks a lot like our Cookie. She’s a husky/lab mix. I posted some pictures if you want to. I’m really sorry for Ambers Passing, I know how it hurts. In the last three years we lost three fur babies. 2 from cancer and one from seizures. I look at their pictures often and although it hurts I can’t help but smile thinking about their personalities and how much they loved us and trusted us to do the right thing for them. Please know that your Amber loved you. I could see it in her eyes in your picture, and I know you’ve heard this before but she is with you. She comes to visit you. You of course can’t see her but when you sometimes when your heart feels full of love, it’s probably Amber checking to make sure you’re ok. God bless you Deborah.

I was lucky enough that when I had to put Jack down, the vet gave me a ceramic image of his footprint. I’ll treasure it always.

I’m sorry to hear about your passing of your cat. I know it’s hard to lose a pet . I recently lost a cat named Carmel to cancer. It’s been almost a year she’s been gone . My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know it’s heart breaking losing a pet .-

Today is the 1 year anniversary that I had to say goodbye to my precious Kairi. The pain of losing her is still with me. She was my best friend and companion and I loved Herbert much. I miss her terribly.
Sometimes I will call Cassie, Kairi, because they are both black. There is an Egyptian saying that if you say my name I will be immortal. Kairi will be with me always in my heart. 😔💔-
