    Ghost Of Kitten

    The spirits of our kitties who pass away definitely stay with us, or at least come to visit. It's been exactly 11 months since my Heisenberg died, and I still feel him around all the time. I hear his meow, feel him rubbing against me and sitting in my lap, and even have thoughts pop into my mind...

    Should I Microchip My Cat?

    Good call! If a pet without a microchip goes missing the chances of getting him/her back home safely are very low! You might get lucky like a good friend of mine did, but you probably won't so it's better to play it safe. :) Both of my kitties are chipped and registered, it's done by default at...

    Cat Lethargic After Vet Visit

    Yeah, my crazy old man passed away 11 months ago today. :frown: I miss him like mad, but since then another black cat has joined the family. :) His name is Sommerfeld, and he's definitely taken the "crazy black cat" torch from Heisenberg and run with it! I hope your kitty is doing better...

    Durable Toys For Crazy Adolescent Kitty

    Hi all! It's been several months since I've posted anything on here. Five months have passed since I had to let my Heisenberg go, and last month we took the plunge and adopted a new kitty. Sommerfeld is a beautiful black medium hair with the fluffiest tail I've ever seen! The vet who neutered...

    Heated Mat For Elderly Kitty: Plug-in Vs "self Warming."

    I went through a similar situation when my angel, Heisenberg, got old and bony. For a while the heat from an incandescent light bulb in a table lamp he could sit/lay under was enough, but when he started getting sicker we got a heating pad that only turns on when there's something on it. I don't...

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    I got Heisenberg's ashes today. It's good to have him back home safe and sound. Every time I see ashes I'm amazed that a body can be shrunk down that much! I was also going through some pictures for a photo album, and came across this gem. It's from sometime in 2010. My Heisenberg was such a...

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    Oh wow, I hadn't realized that there were so many options for memorials! It'll be a tough choice, but I definitely need something to help keep his memory close. It does make me feel better to know I'm not alone with that doubt. Even though I didn't make the decision to let him go (it was mom...

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    Thank you for all the support, everyone. It means the world to me. I tend to lose jewelry, that's the only thing that would get in the way cremation jewelry working for me. Anything small tends to vanish quickly around me. :sigh:

    Zoe And Buddy

    I'm so sorry. Losing one cat is painful enough, but two passing away in rapid succession is beyond devastating. Especially when they have been in your life for as long as Zoe and Buddy were with you. After a while you can hardly remember life without them, and having to learn what it's like...

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    I'm honestly questioning if we made the right choice to let him go now. He was still so full of life!

    I've already somewhat forgotten his meow. :sigh:

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    It's done... my beautiful old man is gone! :bawling::bawling::bawling: And he meowed while he was having the sedative injected. I'd wanted to hear it again so bad!

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    That's what I was meaning, yes. I can definitely understand the idea being rather creepy. I tend to have a bit of a macabre mindset, so yeah... :)

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    Has anybody considered or bought a custom stuffed animal of your kitty? I'm thinking about it, but they're expensive so I'd like suggestions on who to go to.

    Devastating Loss, Reflecting On The Situation...

    I'm so sorry to hear about Boxer! It sounds like she's an amazing cat who lived a great life with a family who loved and cherished her. When you love your furbaby that much you're always wanting to do good by them, and every little mistake, significant and not, sticks out like a sore thumb...

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    We're going to have Heisenberg cremated and get his ashes back, but I need some ideas on how to honor his memory. What have you all done?

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    Thank you everyone, that is exactly what I needed to hear! Today was Heisenberg's last day, and I had a migraine! :sniffle: I'm going to spend the night next to him, but I lost precious time with my baby that I can never get back! :bawling:

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    He's had a very good day so far today! Every time Heisenberg has bright eyes and energy to jump around I question mom's decision to help him over the bridge. He's still very much there and aware of his surroundings, and he's so stoic it's impossible to tell how he's really feeling except for his...

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    I've always struggled with faith in an afterlife. I want to believe that there is one, but this voice in the back of my mind always brings up the lack of evidence either way. It makes grieving very difficult. :sigh:

    Letting Go Of My Crazy Old Man

    I just wish I knew for a fact that I'll see him again someday. It's so much easier to say "see you later" than it is to say "goodbye". This cat means so much to me, I can't bear the thought of never holding him or hearing his meow again.
