What a beautiul and at the same time heartrending thread! Basil was a beauty, for sure! I am still coping with the recent loss of a "soul cat" named Gizmo. Though he was older than Basil (3-5 years old), we only knew him for a couple of months. I cry with you in your loss. I will never...

That picture shows what a beautiful kitty Max was! I feel for your loss. I've recently lost a young kitty myself due to FIV (and posted here about it). I won't lie to you--if you had a relationship with Max, you WILL mourn your loss for some time. But look at that mourning as a value on the...

Yesterday was the anniversary of the loss of one of my soul cats, Nemo. Almost three weeks ago we had to say goodbye to another young kitty, Gizmo, who had become my next soul cat. Gizmo's passing so close to the anniversary of our loss of Nemo has opened up some emotional pathways for me. I...

I understand your pain. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of our saying goodbye to Nemo, my previous soul cat. Twenty days ago we said goodbye to Gizmo, who had become (or was becoming) my next soul cat. The pain does lessen over time, but how much time it takes for the memories to become...

Just wanted to share some pics we have of Gizmo when he was with us. He was a beautiful little cat. Still missing him a lot (those sweet "head buttzz" he would do!). He made a huge impact in such a short time (2 months)...

Lots of stuff going through my mind tonight just short of two weeks since saying goodbye to my cat, Gizmo... So it's been 12 days since we said goodbye to Gizmo, a stray "intact" male cat estimated to be 3-5 years old. I originally said we had him about a month and a-half, but my wife says it...

Today we said our final goodbyes to Gizmo, an intact male domestic shorthair kitty who had FIV. We figure he was somewhere between 3 and 5 years old. Gizmo came into our lives about a month and a-half ago. Apparently he saw our two cats (Puffin, a fluffy black cat with a white ruffle on his...

I already include mellow music in my household. Aine Minogue is one of my favorite artists for relaxation music and I currently have my "Aine Minogue" channel on Pandora playing on our tv in the living room, where Smokey and Klause (our other FLUFFY BOY) are currently sleeping on two separate...

So about four months ago we noticed that a new cat was hanging around our area. I live in a mobile home park and we have deliberately left an opening on two sides of our mobile home for our indoor/outdoor cats to shelter under while outside. We have a "doggy door" in our kitchen, so our...

So I've been doing fairly well for a while. The memories of Nemo have become those happy, positive memories that sometimes make it into my dreams, where he and I are spending time together doing different things. In the real world, the remaining two cats in our household (Klause and Puffin...

Thanks all. Yesterday was really tough for me. Weekends were when Nemo and I spent the most time together--especially on Saturdays. We would spend most of the day with each other when I was at home on the weekends. From my wife, I learned that when I was gone out of town on a weekend (for a...

The song that I remember Nemo by...

It's been 32 days today since I lost my "soul-cat" and best pal, Nemo. In my time zone, today is Saturday afternoon, August 10th, 2019. This day has been the most intense day of grief I have experienced thus far over the loss of Nemo. Many tears are being shed and my heartache is so intense I...

This is my fourth weekend since having to say goodbye to my little buddy, Nemo. Next Tuesday will be exactly four weeks to the day. This past week I managed to make it through the week without crying, though I am still feeling the loss. Our other two cats are being somewhat affectionate with...

[Fair warning: this post is long, and much of it is "stream of thought", so there may be some repetition, overlap, or "disjointedness"] Some of you know I first introduced myself to this forum last week, right after having to euthanize my cat, Nemo. This is my first full weekend without him...

The remaining two cats are Puffin and Klause, our FLUFFY BOYZ. Both are long-haired fluffy cats--although Puffin got a lion cut a few weeks back because he was getting fur mats. We affectionately call him our "poodle cat" now. Klause is a Maine Coon mix. He has some (but not all) of the size...

Thank you all for your supportive comments. I'm really struggling right now. Nemo had become such an integral part of my day-to-day life that, it seems everywhere I turn when I get home, I am painfully reminded of his absence. He greeted me when I pulled in the driveway--sometimes even...

Hi all, Today I had to send my cat buddy to the Rainbow Bridge. His name was Nemo, and I use that as my forum name in his honor. Back in late 2014, Nemo, a black and white shorthair cat with a misaligned jaw adopted us. He had been hanging around for a while before late 2014 and we had been...
