    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    Your story brought tears to my eyes and I haven't even gone to page 2, yet. You did everything right IMHO. WE often forget how limited we are with fixing things, including the health of a cat. I am still grieving Abby because it still doesn't seem real. I look out where I buried her and keep...

    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    Hi Jan. I am so sorry about what you went through. None of this is ever fair! Your story does sound similar to mine. I first noticed Abby wasn't feeling well on a Friday late after noon and by Monday, I was putting her down. I still can't talk about it without crying. I still blame myself...

    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    Your words mean so much to me. Thank you so much. She will be forever in my heart. I did manage to find a quote that I really like and others are free to use it too. "Grief is love with no place to go". That is exactly how I feel right now. I'm still a mess, but not as bad, I guess. It's...

    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I know I can't change what has happened, but I want to be diligent if it's something that I can control. I want to do better, if I need to. I do feel like I gave her a good life and she knew, she really knew just how much I loved her. She was the queen...

    Thank you so much Di & Bob. You and the people here were so good to me when I struggled with losing Meela. I still carry that guilt and have so much regret. I know it was the right thing for Abby, but you are right, I have so many questions on why and how it happened and where is my...

    Thank you SO MUCH for kind words. They meant so much to me and I truly appreciate them. I feel some guilt because I feel like I missed it somehow. She was my best friend. I know she's not suffering any more and I believe she is with the ones we have lost. This just really sucks right now...

    I'm struggling with a rapid death of a beloved cat

    Hi everyone. I haven't been back in a while. I lost my Meela 6 years ago and that pain and regret is still there. I don't think it really ever goes away. Abby was also Meela's mom. During Covid, I lost my Big Black Buddy cat and that was pretty traumatic. He was hit by a car, but I didn't...

    I have another devastating loss my beautiful Black Buddy cat is gone

    Thank you all for your kind words that I really appreciate. I have learned a few more things about Buddy now that I didn't know. He was speculated to be from another street down the road. There was a large group of black cats that ran the streets. Buddy was probably one of the most...

    I do imagine that...the hardest part is not seeing me with him. I am still struggling, but not as dire as I was. Thank you for your words.

    I have another devastating loss my beautiful Black Buddy cat is gone

    I'm not letting it happen again. The remaining cats will never go outside. I love them all way too much to let them put themselves in jeopardy. The catio is a great idea!

    Thank you Antonio. Your words were perfect. He was very happy. I cant wait to see them all again. I wish it didn't hurt so bad. He was loved by me and I know he loved me. He was my baby. I will forever miss him.

    I have another devastating loss my beautiful Black Buddy cat is gone

    Sadly, I know. but I learned to trust that he would come home, just like he learned to trust that I kept him inside for the right reasons too. All my other cats never go outside. I don't know that I will ever have another cat that will. Thank you for your words.

    I have another devastating loss my beautiful Black Buddy cat is gone

    Thank you so much Di & Bob. Your words have always been soothing to me. My biggest regret was letting him outside at all. But he loved going out and I couldn't take that away from him. What I learned today is that he frequently crossed that road and I never knew it. My goal was to get him...
