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 -

She had mammary gland cancer and this July 4 th will be the hardest for me it will be a year since she’s gone. She was 11 years old.-
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.

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 .-
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

I have a cat named Sweetness and she was close to Carmel and Princess and Sweetness is is 5 years old and I thought I was going to lose her due to her being sick in December but now she’s healthy and playing with Tabby 7-8 months old kitten.
I know Carmel was loved very much and it was hard losing her and I kept blaming myself for her getting cancer but found out her mother had cancer. She followed me around the apt and knowing she had cancer really hit me .
I know it’s tough losing a pet she was my second o e I lost . Princess died in 2018 died of old age 17 years old-
I’m so sorry you lost Princess and Carmel. I’m sure you are a great cat mom and I’m sure they are very grateful to you for making their time on earth a happy one.

Carmel was 11 years old when she passed away. She was diagnosed with mammary gland cancer in may of 2020 and passed away on July 4th 2020 and she had a stroke. It’s been really hard on me it’s been 8 months since she passed and I cry myself to sleep at night sometimes. She was a great cat and well behaved and trained.
Princess was my first cat and she was 17 years old when she passed away . Carmel was a tortoise shell cat-
Karen, you are touching me on so many levels: My cat Squirt was a long-haired “torty” ( tortoise) and died when she was 19. My beautiful girl now had her 17th birthday yesterday – we’ve been together four glorious years and we are treating a myriad of ailments, but she’s doing well. Twice, I thought we were going to have to part, but we’ve been able to address her problems. Both times, I was not able to stop crying. It’s just so hard. Intellectually we know they have had a good, long life, but emotionally – well, it’s devastating. The smiles WILL come before your tears… I promise. If it makes you feel better, please share your own thoughts and sympathies with others in our caring community. Please, let us know how you are coming through everything.
