I’m sorry for replying to all of you so late but it’s been difficult coming to term with my emotions and memories of this horrible tragedy. I want to thank everyone above who gave a little message for Toast and sharing your own story, they were very powerful. Difficult things to hear, but ones...

I wanted to get this story out, not just as personal guilt but as story that may inspire others to take action. This cat story has a sad beginning, a hopeful middle, and a tragic end. But the reality of it needs to be said. I’m a college student, I live with my parents and last year I started...

I can’t tell you how sorry I am. It’s especially hard when they are so young, too young. But your baby lived a life full of love and that’s the most important part. I hate that you are able to relate to this, but I am here for you like the people on this site have been here for me. Your baby...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to add another little post here again because yesterday marked one year since Snowball’s passing. It was a very surreal day. I had bought some white roses and laid them where he is buried and just stood there for a moment thinking about him and everything really. I...

@di and bob Thank you so much! Snowball would have appreciated extra love for kitties, and I’m sure your three do too! This time is very difficult. It brings back so many memories, good and bad. Lately I’ve been focusing on the good ones to beat out the bad ones and sometimes it brings a smile...

To whoever still reads this, Today is April 13th, Snowball would have been 7 years old today. While he’s not alive to celebrate it this is the first birthday his brother is spending without him. I bought him some fancy wet food for his special day and played with him and sang him happy birthday...

@di and bob I never really thought of how cats see things like you said, and I think you have to be right. I often believe cats are smarter than I am and living in the presence and making the most of their day and lives and I should be doing the same too. They value life so much and are too pure...

@di and bob I’m sorry that you know how I’m feeling, it hurts more to think other people are like me in this situation. Very hurt. It’s difficult having just memories now, but like you said it’ll have to be enough even though it doesn’t feel enough right now. I hope he really is at peace knowing...

@Maria Bayote It’s interesting to me that so many of us have such strong connections to our fur babies more than other people even and for me, like you said, I felt so connected to my baby. I really felt like his parent and that he was meant to be in my life. I think it’s intriguing how you see...

@di and bob That’s exactly how I feel right now! My life feels too long now, too long until I get to see him again and there doesn’t seem to be much joy in my life a lot like how you expressed you felt. It’s hard to believe that time will ease this but I know you’re right, after I lost my first...

@rubysmama thank you for the links! I love looking at other people’s cute pictures of their cats and it might even cheer me up for a little bit for the time being. Best of luck to you and Ruby! I hope you two win!

@laureen227 some days feels harder than others. I’ve been trying to keep myself busy because whenever I’m alone with my thoughts, I think about him and start tearing up no matter where I am. In a weird way I don’t want this to go away in the sense that I don’t want to ever forget. But then again...

@rubysmama thank you again! There’s so many helpful places to go around here. Ill need to really be careful if I care to keep my remaining cat living as long as possible. Ruby looks so cute! I love what you did with the Santa hat, now I have to follow this contest, are they doing another one...

Well, when Snowball was alive for the last few months he was on a wet food only diet and his brother would always try to steal his food because he absolutely goes crazy over wet food. But now since he’s a bit over weight and his brother isn’t around anymore, he’s eating significantly less wet...

@Jem I wanted to say how sorry I was for you and your husband to lose your beloved Chewy who holds such a special place in your heart. You and your Chewy were so strong and brave, I really admire you and your cat. You did so much for him and I think you should be proud of being an amazing parent...

An update on my cat: he is still constantly sleeping with me and is almost always active when all of us are home. But I’ve noticed that he has started to eat a lot these past few days. He had always liked to eat food, especially wet food but now I know he’s a bit overweight and I wanted to tone...

@rubysmama now that is what I would call fate! You and Ruby just were meant to be, I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all. I read your message there and thank you very much for it. The support from this community is overwhelmingly kind and I thank you for reading it even though it was hard. I...

I can’t thank everyone enough for their messages for me and Snowball. I cried reading every one of them, but I greatly appreciated each and every message said here. I’ve lost a cat before, but being older this time was very rough on me. Especially when I thought of Snowball as my child and even...

@inkysmom @rubysmama @Jem I also finally wrote up something for my cat in the Crossing The Bridge Section. I admit I cried a whole lot through the entire thing like I do reading your replies and even more picking out the pictures of him. There was a whole lot of tears but if you are willing, I...

@rubysmama It was hard to imagine life without him and this was so sudden that I know this is going to take me a long time to partially recover because I know life won’t quite be the same without him anymore. You sound like a wonderful person and I’m sure your Ruby is living the life with you...
