I have followed this group for some time–probably from back when I lost one of my loved ones. I am finally posting. I lost my girl Kysa (keesa) on Nov. 29th. She was 18 1/2 yrs old. This past Christmas was the first without her beautiful face under my tree. I keep thinking I’m getting “better”–but I miss her so much. I have a 2nd cat, younger- and I love her-but since Kysa is gone- I feel distant with her. I know it’s “normal ” because I’m grieving…. but…I don’t know…And I’m starting to think I want another cat. I’ve always had minimum of two. But an adult– because I am older, so no more kittens. I don’t know why I’m writing this right now-but here it is.. Thank you for listening 💖

  Diane, I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a cat live to be 18. There is nothing more painful than losing a friend that you thought would be with you forever. I had another kitty. She was 16 when she passed. I was lonely. In time I got a little kitty that was thrown from a car. He is almost a year old. It was difficult to go through the baby stage….no became the only word I knew. . Well Frankie is a Siamese and very bullheaded.. he is getting older and learning his manners..I’ve always had girls…but a boy is a new experience…I think I’ve lost some hair. (Pulling it out) I have a cat that has the last word. Don’t feel bad, it takes time. ill always listen to you…take care.

  When I said goodbye to mt Beauty Girl (Deanna was her shelter name). I had a brutal time even though she was 18 and had been unwell. 10 days later Boots needed a temporary home and he snapped me out of the depth of grief. I realized the cycle and circle of life goes on and that BG would be happy for us both. Now that I have Mac and Roni and see how very close they are, I think two (or more) is good for them, and for us. I had no intention of adopting kittens at my age, either, but when Mac’s siblings died, I really became his mother, and bringing Roni into our lives was the best thing for both of us. I usually foster and/or adopt older pets. Diane, look through your shelter websites for a kitty that seems to fit you, then go meet them in person. You’ll probably come home with a different one – one that “speaks” to you🤗And remember, your other kitty is mourning Kysa, too, and together you can heal. Keep us posted. You are always welcome to share.
  Join our group meeting January 16th at 7PM Eastern. The link is under Events. We would love to hear from you there, too. Toni

  Hi Brony, I’m so tickled by what you said about Frankie. Sounds like he is running the show at your house. Lol.
  I’m glad Frankie is settling down a bit now and I hope you had a nice holiday season with your boy.
  
  I hope you had a very happy holiday season
