No post today. My cat died last night. A friend found her on the doorstep one cold and rainy night some 14 years ago, an overgrown abandoned kitten, but Bo’s weird intensity was too much for my friend’s cats to handle, so I took her in. After a long and, I think, mostly happy life (she was a bit cranky, and more or less hated everyone but me), she developed a lung problem that really wasn’t treatable, and it was only a matter of time. Still, most of the time she seemed like her old un-sick self, and I somehow still hoped she’d magically revive and stick around a little while longer. Then over the last couple of days she really started to go downhill, and finally tonight she died. I will miss her enormously.
So sorry for you, David. I’m quite sure this won’t console you, but none of the cats I had in my life ever even reached the age of ten. Bobo had indeed a very long cat-life.
🙁 Sorry to hear. Poor grouchy cat; is this like Death Week or something?
Never commented before but had to today just to give you hugs. So sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. I lost my kitty boy last week and am still crying. I can’t say anything helpful but just let you know I sympathize. The hardest thing is all the places that were “his”. The only solace is that those places remind me of the joy and friendship he was kind enough to give this stupid human. Wishing you comfort and peace.
I’m so sorry. Losing a companion is so very hard. 🙁
*hugs* I’m sorry, David. I know how hard it is to lose a pet.
Rest in peace, kitty. <3
🙁 Sorry.
I’m so sorry David. Loosing pets is always very sad and you’ll probably keep seeing her for a while untill your used to not seeing her. I lost my cat a couple of years ago and we still see her occasionally sitting on the cairn we muilt her, especially if I burn intense for her.
Dave, I’m so sorry. No, it will never be quite the same. You know that, and you knew it was coming, but that’s cold comfort.
I know just how you feel, and for much the same reason.
I’m so sorry for your loss David:( Kitties are wonderful companions and it is always painful to lose a wonderful friend:(
Sorry to hear this, David. Bobo sounds a fine cat.
Very sorry to hear this, David. It’s so hard to lose the grouchy little purr machines. It sounds like you gave her a very good life.
I’m so sorry too. 🙁
I’m sorry too. Cats are such wonderful companions, and I’m sure Bobo was lucky to have you. Take as much time as you need to grieve.
I am very sorry for your loss, David. (((hugs))) if you would like them.
My condolences. I’m sure she had the best life possible in your care, and was a happy cat. Losing a pet is always hard. 🙁
🙁 poor kitty. My condolences.
