These are some of my babies.Bessie had cancer and was put to sleep 04/16/2020.Mama cat and Oscar and Princess.-
What nice pictures of each of them. So now do you have Oscar, Princess and Irish?-
Yes.Irish was my indoor cat who wanted to be an outdoor cat,but…something changed in him.Since mama cat died,he no longer wants to go outside.He is afraid of cars,motorcycles and the garbage men.

Hi Toni.I cherished George very much.It is hard to have senior pets and not knowing when there will be a time when they don’t wake up.Because George was fading,rapidly, I intended on having her put to sleep,but she went her way,on her terms.I do believe that kiss on my cheek,the Sunday before she had her accident,washer way of telling me goodbye,and she loved me.She has never kissed me on my face where I actually felt her tongue.I believe too,it was her way of thanking me for all of the years we had together,and I am forever honored to be George’s mom.-
This is so lovely, Dianne. Thank you for sharing your sincere, sweet sentiments.

Dianne, I think of you every day. I truly do, My old girl wasn’t eating today, and I thought of you and George because she went through times like that, too. But, my girl ate tonight :-)…. You and your stories about George, Oscar and the paths you are walking are very meaningful, in case you don’t already know that. That’s why we are here, and here for you, and everyone who loves, and has loved, and will love, our most cherished pets. Each day I anticipate the moment when I’ll find my beloved girl gone – it’s grueling. But, she wakes up and lets me love her, and I remind myself to cherish these times with her and not get ahead of things….. oops, sorry, didn’t mean to make it about ‘my pet’…Dianne, you are doing well, and you did well for her. Take comfort in that. As we’ve discussed – she had her design, as do we all, don’t you think?-

I am slowly accepting my mama cat being gone.
My heart breaks for Oscar because him and mama cat were a bonded pair.
He walks around lost,looking for her.Mama cat was his world.But I told my 10 year old granddaughter to give Oscar lots of love.
She was talking to Oscar and told him Mama George was not suffering anymore,and he was listening to her.
But everyday is getting better,because my mama cat isn’t suffering anymore.I miss her.-

Oh my Dawg …… she is too cute, Martha. Love the one in the dress, too. I’ve gifted my friends ornaments with their pets on them (sadly, one of my dear friends’ cat has lymphoma and the ornament is very meaningful to them). If it would be healing and helpful, perhaps you would like one of Missy. You can find them here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/good-dog-personalized-house-photo-ornament-3-75-matte-2-sided/
Again, holidays stir deep emotions, especially the first one without them. I know, and will be here for you through them. Sending you a {HUG}-
Thank you Toni. Most of today has been better but tonight the tears are flowing again.-
Oh…I am so sorry to have you be so sad, and I understand, Martha. I swear, the holidays bring many different feelings and memories, and make it tougher in some ways, but hopefully also remind us to be grateful and happy for the lives and loves we have shared. This is an emotional period for all of us, and it is comforting to have us be here for one another. I hope you know I, and we, are sharing your grief and supporting you in your joys. Here’s another {HUG} and feel welcome to share as often as you need and want. We’ve got you…
-
Thank you Toni. That means a lot.
-
Hey Martha…. how did your Thanksgiving go? Okay ( I hope)?

OH! would you share more pictures of Missy with us if you have some? -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 11 months ago
Yep. That is relatable, and understandable, Martha. I think it’s because the love we share is truly at a deep, soulful level – cellular in a way, and the tears really do come from a place that is different. You stay with us, we’re here for, and with you. -

Hi Toni.
I have accepted George’s accident,in baby steps.Every day is a new day that I have accepted as she is gone.I now believe,mama cat was looking for a way of going on her own terms,and maybe her getting struck by a vehicle was her way of going “home”.Does that make sense?I miss her.
As for Oscar,he is so lost without her.They had six kittens together many years ago.And even when she was not her best,he would groom her every day.He walks the house looking for her.He waits by my front door waiting for me to carry her in,and when I am not carrying her,he looks like he lost his best friend.
He now chortles,which I believe he calls for her,but she doesn’t answer.My heart breaks for him.But I give Oscar a lot of love,and the last thing I want is him passing away from a broken heart.But now he has his younger brother Irish to keep him from total loneliness.
I am doing better.I have to. -

Martha, are you doing a bit better?-
Thank you Toni. Some days I think I am doing better but then, I am right back to crying.

Well, since my cat only has one tooth, I’m not familiar, but know many dogs who love Greenies. Good for tooth cleaning. Is it just the Greenies, or are other things not sitting well? -

Yes, I get that, Martha. Did you know the chemicals in tears are different when they are from joy vs. grief? Tears can release ‘negative’ chemicals to help heal. Even though my old girl is doing okay now, sometimes I am overcome by tears from deep within – it’s not something we control, nor should we. I think we should each write down a happy memory every day and one day, you’ll be smiling (possibly through tears, but happy for the time you had together). It takes time, Martha. And these darned holidays just don’t help, do they? -

You should still be very emotional – it’s only been a week. You are wrestling with so many thoughts and feelings, and the only way to go is straight through, which you are doing . That’s why we’re here for and with you – to let you share and get it all out. Hang in there, Dianne. -
Dianne Kurtz posted a new activity comment 4 years, 12 months ago
I have two cats.The reason I believe Irish is staying inside is to comfort Oscar.He loved George too.
I am beginning to accept the fact that George wanted to go out,because she was ready to go on her terms.And maybe she did.I am trying my best to cope.-

@peanutandpixie Hello and welcome to our caring community, Margaret. “Peanut” – the name makes me smile. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you are okay – are you? What kind of pet was Peanut? May we hear some stories, and see some pictures? Please let us know how you are doing.

Dianne, of course you are still reeling. It’s only been a very short time since George is gone. And in such a shocking way. I still think it was her destiny – that she was compelled to go out. Guilt comes naturally after an experience like yours, but I think you are the only one seeing it that way. She was ailing and is now at peace. I shared the story of my dear little kitten, Nicki, who never went out and one night threw herself out the door and got hit and killed. I know how guilty I felt, but truly think they have a design of their own. It’s good to have you share your feelings with us. Please let us know, as often as you like, how you are doing. Share some more pictures, and tell us about Oscar, Princess and Irish. How many cats do you have? It’s wonderful of you to share with them and I hope they are bringing you some comfort. HUGS…Toni-

Martha, It’s good to hear from you and have you share with us. It’s only been three months since you and Missy parted, and I think the holidays bring up memories that trigger strong emotions – good, and sad. You are always welcome to share more pictures of Missy with us, and if you think a lasting Memorial for her will be healing and helpful, you can create and maintain one in our Memorial tab: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/.
It took me a long time to welcome a new love into my heart, but I am so filled with her love now that I am glad the time finally came for us. Maybe one day you will be ready, maybe not. Right now you are moving through your grief and missing her among friends who understand and care. We want to hear from you, and about you. I hope this {HUG} carries my sympathy. Stay in touch with us, Martha.-
Thank you Toni. The tears just will not stop. Even when I am not consciously thinking about her they come. I wake up with my pillow wet with them.
