Oh boy, Rosemary. This really touches me because she and my old girl (17 1/2) could be twins. I don’t think mine ever had kittens. Did Shirley’s babies look like her? How long has it been since you said goodbye ? We know intellectually that she enjoyed a long life of loving with you, but boy, it just hurts so much… I’m thinking of you and sending you hugs….-
Thank you so much for caring about my Shirley. Yes most of her kitten’s had alot of black on them. Sadly I just lost her on September 13th, 2021. I held her, talked to her and kissed when she passed on.I miss her so very much.-
There are no good ways to say goodbye but, dying in our sleep, or being held by a loved one, seem to be the kindest ways, to me. In that, you were both lucky. It hasn’t been very long for you, Rosemary, and I hope you allow yourself to grieve as you need. Please let us know how you are doing. We’re thinking of you.

Oh, what a sweet face, Ann. She must have been adorable in her shirts. I hope you share some pictures of her in them. I know what you mean about ‘everyday’ things – a toy, a blanket, the pet food aisle….they can all trigger grief that wells from deep within. Smiles are mixed in there, but it will be awhile before your memories bring smiles before your tears. We do understand and are here for you to share your feelings and stories about Daisy Mae with us. We want to know how you are doing, so please keep us posted (and share Daisy Mae in some shirts if you can). I am sending you my sympathy, along with others in our caring community. -

Gail, this is so sad, and I am so sorry. Peanut didn’t have any symptoms? That’s scary and just shocking for you. Cathy and I are discussing her loss of her four year old, Sheba – another sudden, unexpected death of a youngster. Any time we have to say goodbye is so very painful, but sudden loss, especially at such young ages, is truly devastating. When you are up to it, please tell about Peanut – what kind of pet; how you met – anything you’d like to share, including photos. I am thinking of you with sincere and deep sympathy. Toni-
Peanut was a boxer, my baby. My children are all grown now. We thought he was perfectly healthy until the Friday before he passed he came down in the morning limping. Vet said possible shoulder strain or sprain. By Tuesday afternoon took him to ER vet – he was in kidney and liver failure and had gone blind. No idea what caused this all of a sudden. I’m lost and heartbroken.. I miss him so much

Cathy, I’m glad you mention diet. My 17 1/2 yer old cat has kidney failure (somewhat) and we changed to a prescription dry food, and are getting ‘cat’upuncture to stimulate blood flow, and her kidney readings have been NORMAL! I think it’s the food and the acupuncture. It’s great when we share our helpful insights. Thank you. If you want to extend your own sympathies to others in our community, please do. -

Oh Cathy, I was thinking last evening how, while it’s hard to see our old pets failing, it’s even more shocking and tragic to lose them unexpectedly. I am just so very sorry for your loss. Sheba looks a little like my calico, Nikki, who was hit by a car at nine months. It was decades ago so I am fine, but the grief then was so intense and brutal. Please, Cathy, let us know how you are doing, and know we are here for you.-
Thank you Toni. I have lost 7 pets in the last 7 years. Changed the vet I take my new cat Milo to and also have him on a food free of corn, wheat and soy hoping it will prevent gi issues. I miss them all so much but take comfort in knowing they were loved and had a good home. Will see them all again oneday at the rainbow bridge.

Oh my goodness, Rosemary – she looks so much like my girl! What a beauty. I am so sorry she’s no longer with you. How long has it been? Please tell us about her. And thank you for sharing this sweet picture (we’d love to see more).-
I had my sweet Shirley for 15 years. She was 1 in a litter of 4.She had kitten’s of her own and was also a grandma.She was just so loving and I held her when she had to go.

Hi Chuck and Dixie. 🙂 What are you two up to now? -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 1 month ago
Hi Dianne. What’s the update on George? I think of you both daily.-
Well George’s diarrhea is better.It has become like soft serve ice cream.
I do not want to have her put down because I am actually thinking she may have worms.She is eating,and I am continuing the Pedialyte,not a lot,but every 2 hours.I love her to death,if I can prolong her life, I will.But if the vet says otherwise,then I will take it from there.I have never seen her scoot her rump on the floor,but I am thinking her issue may be controllable.-
I correct myself, I have seen her scoot her rump on the floor.

It’s funny how taking a picture was so different. We had to have them developed and actually wait for them to come back – imagine that! I know what you mean, wishing we had a photo or two, but we still remember them, no matter how much time passes. I have only smiles with her memories, it’s been so very long ago now…… -

Laurie, I too had a Nikki, and lost her many years ago. She was a calico kitten who died much too young, at nine months. I don’t have pictures of her to share, but will you share yours, and tell us about your Nikki? I think we will always miss our pets with whom we had/have special bonds.-
I’m so sorry for your loss losing a pet is like losing a part of the family. I’m sorry I don’t have a picture of my Nikki either it makes me so sad that I never was a real big picture taker back then cuz I sure would like to have some photos of her she was absolutely beautiful she was a Rottweiler so precious to me such a great personality loved the kids especially she was very protective of them very protective of the family it came very natural to her but she was also a very kind loving and caring companion companion I miss her very much
