    Tiny, I love that you named your cat Kitty. I call my cat “Cat”. I think we should adopt a dog and name it Kitty so when we call “Kitty”, a dog comes! And Chanel – what a classy name. Will you show us some pictures and tell us about them, please? How long have they been gone? How are you doing – okay?

      Christine, I had a Russian Blue – I named her Chivo. She literally walked in the front door. I picked her up and it felt like she was pregnant so I took her to a doctor and he said she was due within a week. I stayed home from work all week, waiting. And waiting….She didn’t get ant bigger, and no kittens came, so I took her to another vet and they said she HAD been pregnant. She was a mean cat – would attack me, was actually kind of scary, until we brought home a kitten in need. Well, Chivo took that little kitten to her, cradled and loved her, and became her mother. From that moment, Chivo was a sweet, loving cat. She just needed her babies. Sorry to ramble, but you brought up those memories and I think it’s good for all of us in our community to share our stories.
      How long have you and Dukie been parted? How did you meet?
        • Toni, thats a touching story im glad she ended up becoming nice. Its amazing what little kittens can do. Dukie passed away 9 months ago he had asthma. How did we met! Well..this might be long. I was working at a gas station and i came into work at 6 am and then around 8 am one of my co workers came to me and wanted me to come see something so he takes me outside and low and behold there is a little kitten about 2 months old sitting in the corner on a piece of ice mind you i live in ohio and it was winter and it was about 2 degrees outside when i saw him i could not let him stay there so my coworker got me a box i picked him up and he let me pick him up poor thing was probably so cold my boss let me take him home good thing i didn’t live far when i got home with him since i had 2 other cats at that time i told my boyfriend that i couldnt leave him in the cold and i would take him to the humane society the next day he stayed in the back room for two days probably thawing out…

            • Christine, this is so nice in so many ways: 1. He found you 2. You found him -good for your co-worker to show him to you 3. Good he didn’t get sick from the oil. Anti-freeze can be deadly, too (we have an article about poisons in our Library).4. Good for your boyfriend-Keep him, too! 5. Good for getting him on the right medications (Mine is on a number of things and we tried a liquid antibiotic and it was awful-she literally foamed at the mouth, so we went to what they call “tiny tabs” that are specially compounded and mailed to us). 6. Good for your other kitties to embrace him. Overall, Good for you all to be part of a loving family. The parting is hard, but the lives lived were not to be missed. We love stories and they can’t be too long. Keep sharing them. ๐Ÿ™‚

                What a face! I am so sorry. I don’t what’s worse – a sudden death or a lingering one.. I’ve been through both with pets (and humans) and really don’t know, but I do know they both are terribly hard and it can take a long time to heal. I am so very sorry, Bea. How may we support you?

                    Wow, Bill, nineteen is a good, long life. What a shame Merle left you during the holiday season, but there is never a good time to say goodbye. It sounds like you took very good care of him. It hasn’t been very long for you and I hope you are doing better each day. If you like, please share your own sympathy with others in our community, but know we are here for you. Toni

                                @jackilove Hello Jacki. Welcome to our caring pet community. Please tell us about your pets.

                                • Keisha was my Chow chow, I had her from 10 weeks to 14 years. She had a slight stroke and could not stand up without pain and falling over. She was a remarkable friend. I never had to leash her, when I walked she’d walk, if I ran she ran and so on. She never even cared about seeing other animals, I sometimes thought she was a person. My cat Jaime I had 16 years and she had lost most of her hearing and was an indoor outdoor cat. My brother accidentally hit her with his car. It was was awful. At one time I had 7 birds, 2 pet rats,, an Iguana and Keisha and Jaime. They could all be in the same room at the same time and all got along. It was beautiful. I miss them all.

                                      Yes, that’s what is so hard – so much love, sharing and time together you would never give up, but the parting is devastating. I hope Reno and Theo are bringing you comfort and joy. Stay in touch, let us know how you are coming along. Thinking of you.
