    Glenda, I am right there with you…They do seem to find us, and we, them. I like being a “Cat Lady”, and any kind of animal person :-)..
    The pain of loss is deep, and I know some people who won’t have another pet because they don’t want to suffer that pain again, yet many others of us welcome the chance to love, and be loved by, another (and another) furry friend. We created Faithful Friends to be a safe place to seek or lend support, and if you like, please extend your kind words to others in our community who need some support during such a tough time. I look forward to hearing more of your stories. Thank you for being a part of us. Toni

      I miss my baby soo much..he\’s been gone 3 was now .only 3 yrs old. He was my life
      • Elaine, May I ask what happened? What was his name? He is certainly a cutie and I am very sad for your loss. We are here for you. Hugs. Toni
          • I believe it was a coyote..I cant stop crying. My poor baby
              • Oh no. That is just awful. Keep crying, Elaine – it’s okay, and very understandable. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Is there something you can do to take your attention for a bit each day?
                  • I try but I loved him so much I cant stand the thought of him being hurt and wondering why I wasnt helping him. My heart is in a million pieces

              I once had 6 animals 2 dogs, Lucy and Sam and 4 cats within 6 weeks I only had 2 cats. First Sam had to be put down because she had taken a bad fall and she just wasn\’t herself. Then our big male cat we named shadow died along side our driveway he was an old man but I\’ll tell you when Lucy first came to me shadow sat at the top step like he was guarding his home, Lucy came through the door and shadow smacked her right in the nose. He wanted to show her who was the boss. Then we had to take our calico to a shelter to be put into a new place she just couldn\’t find the litter box and Lucy at the age of 17 was ran over in my driveway. So we had Oreo who didn\’t like anyone but me and Sox who loved everyone. Now 6 years later I have Oreo\’s grandson who only comes to me just like Oreo and Panther and Seven and Roxie, 4 cats.
              • Wow, Lisa, what a great story. You really express each of their personalities. I can just see Shadow swiping Lucy’s nose – cats definitely know how to explain the hierarchy of the house to a dog! You have certainly had your share of loss, but you keep your home and heart open to more loves. That is so kind of you. Do you now have 4 cats?

                Minnie was 24. She was a rescue. We got her when she was 5 and have had her 19 years. Not only are me and Tom my husband grieving so are our other babies. They are 14, 13, 7, and 5. They have had Minnie in their lives forever.
                  • Oh yes, Minnie’s fur friends must be missing her, too. It’s very kind of you to care for so many. Please let us know how you are coming along, and when you are ready to share their pictures and stories with us, we will enjoy celebrating them with you. HUGS

                          Julie, Any words of condolence may seem not enough, but I hope you feel the incredible sadness I share with you tonight. Your decision was undoubtedly made from a depth of love, and is the most unselfish, kind act we share with our beloved pets. When you are up to it, please tell us about Minnie, your lives together, and what we can do to help you heal. I will have you on my mind and in my heart….Hugs, Toni

                                      We seem to find each other, I have always loved all animals but cats tend to be my favorite, I have no children so they are my babies instead,

                                      I guess you can say we find each other. I have alwaysloved all animals but I tend to love cats more. I have no children so they are my babies instead. I have had my heart broken so many times with them passing away and I always say no more but then I always seem to come across one who needs me but the truth is I need them just as much as they need me. I am so thankful that I found this website, Thank you for your kind words.

                                            Update on Benny — Doctor called today and his lump was Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). She said it doesn’t return in most cases so fingers crossed we’re all good. Has anyone else had this?

                                              It’s still too soon I think because I just lost him back in October and I think people just need to take however long they need to get another pet
