    I lost my baby on Tuesday

    I am so glad it’s getting easier for you. It’s the same here, day by day. We have good and bad but it makes us happy to imagine her running around with her best cat friend (we lost him in 2018 at only 8 years old). Harry is beautiful! My Lucy was also a shiny, beautiful black cat!

    Sent my sweet almost 17 year old girl over the Rainbow Bridge

    I purchased these on Etsy so I’d have my girl close to my heart. I got my husband a keychain! They’re such a sweet way to keep them close during such a crummy time. ❤️

    16 year old cat struggling after dental extractions...

    My girl ended up having cancer (a tumor either in her nasal cavity or behind her eye) and was put to sleep on 12/28. We didn’t do evasive tests due to her age and hatred of the vet so we don’t know the exact type but it was not related to the extractions. I wanted to be sure to say that so you...

    I lost my baby on Tuesday

    I am so very sorry and also feel your pain. My girl was put to sleep on 12/28 (due to cancer) and it is still so upsetting. She would have been 17 in March. She was also very affectionate and I loved to sit and hold her and just sniff her...just put my face on her little side and take deep...

    Had to put cat to sleep

    I also had 4x6 magnets printed to put on the fridge so we can see her sweet little face. Seeing her has also helped! It does bring tears at times but I love seeing her pretty green eyes.

    Had to put cat to sleep

    We had to have our our sweet Lucy of almost 17 years put to sleep on 12/28. It has been incredibly hard. We have kids and I had the idea to get a little stuffed animal black cat for them. They have it sitting on her blanket where she used to lay and I know this may sound crazy but it has been...

    We saw a lot of Lady Bugs around our house (mainly around the door we use to go in and out) and I told my husband I thought that was a sign from Lucy telling us she is safe and happy! We never see Lady Bugs....especially during this time of year!

    Thank you for this. We noticed a lot of Lady Bugs around our house on Friday. I told my husband I thought that was a "hello" from Lucy and her letting us know she is safe and happy. I just ordered some Holy Basil and I am excited to try it. Sleep has been hard since she left...I keep having...

    I am so very sorry. It’s so hard! There is a giant hole and we miss her so much. 😕

    Sent my sweet almost 17 year old girl over the Rainbow Bridge

    Hello everyone, Yesterday we had to put our sweet girl, Lucy, to rest. She battled an awful, fast growing tumor since September. It attacked the left side of her face and eye. Whatever the cancer was it was fast growing and aggressive. We opted not to biopsy and pursue treatment due to her...

    Oral Cancer / SCC after Dental Cleaning?

    My 16 year old cat, Lucy, was diagnosed with possible oral SCC in late September 2022. She had a painful growth in her mouth (which has since grown) but she is very old so we opted not to have her biopsied or put her through any tests/treatment. She had most of her teeth removed in March 2022...

    Tiki Pate Sardine and Mackerel Alternative (I am lost!)

    Hi Everyone, I have a very picky 16 year old cat named Lucy. She is FINALLY recovering from dental extractions she had back on March 16. I didn't think she would ever get better and pretty much had her funeral planned. It was awful stressful but she pulled through and is eating on her own with...

    16 year old cat struggling after dental extractions...

    I will check on getting an appointment with a dentist. It sure wouldn't hurt! We may have one local to us and we are also less than an hour away from 2 major cities so the chances are good I can find a few. I am also very flexible and can travel or go to a cancellation appointment with no...

    16 year old cat struggling after dental extractions...

    I spoke with him again today and he is concerned that the eye is causing her pain as she moves her head down towards the bad eye side when she eats...he also said that pain could discourage her from eating. I have also noticed her squinting the bac eye more the last 2 days. We are going to watch...
