Thank you for being Blakie's friend, for loving them and for noticing and caring when they passed. The light from your friendship will them to their rightful sleep, and help to keep them warm always. RIP Blakie, we remember you.

I have come to strongly believe the human soul is like a puzzle, full of interlocking pieces. When we take a cat into our lives we give them a piece of our puzzle, and in return they give us one of theirs. They become a part of us forever, forever linked to our soul, and we become a part of them...

It hurts a lot still. Nights like tonight it hurts so deeply it feels like I'm dying. Like there's this great wound that runs all the way through me, and all I've been doing is papering over it, not really healing. I know it's been almost no time at all, not quite three months. I'm rambling. It...

I'm late here, but I just wanted to chime in and say I think it's 100% natural to doubt. I had to make the decision to help my Winter pass on in August and I still doubt today, wondering if I could have squeezed another few days, hours, or minutes. I think when it comes to our furry family, we...

We buried her today, and a little weight has been lifted. Knowing where she is, knowing I can go talk to her, these things have helped a little with the pain. I still hurt, but I feel much better than I did when her little body left with the vet. We planted a Rose Bush over her while the Crows...

Tomorrow I'll bury Winter in my parents back yard. They intend to die in their house so I can go sit and talk with her whenever I want. We're going to plant a rose bush over her, and eventually a tree nearby as well. Went to get a nice box today, and I'm pretty happy with it. My favorite old...

Thank you, that's a lovely quote.

My own sweet baby passed this last Tuesday. I am so sorry for your loss, it's a pain almost unbearable. Rest in Peace Miss Pepe. You're loved and missed.

This is my favorite picture of Winter, during Healthier times. She was always so fiesty, my wee beasticus. She'd purr and rub and bite my fingers, and she knew I couldn't resist to pat and stroke her when she lay like this.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm supposed to move forward when such a huge part of my life is gone forever. I've been very lucky in life, and only seldom lost a relative I cared for. Losing Winter was a pain I was totally unprepared for. Logically I knew I was going to hurt, but in the...

Today is self-recrimination day it seems. So many moments replayed over and over, telling myself if I'd acted earlier, if I'd spent more money (I'm disabled so on a fixed income), if I'd done better then maybe it might be different. Thank you everybody for the support and the kind words, they...

Winter. She was almost 16, a New Years baby. Thank you so much, that's so kind.

There were two more options for Thyroid treatment, and I badly wish I'd tried the first one: A flavoured liquid I'd have to shoot into her mouth once or twice daily. Not very nice for her, but way better than the pill option and lets her keep having treats and the wet foods she likes Option two...

Thank you guys, I really appreciate the kind words and advice. This forum has been a wonderful place for me while I learn about having an older cat.

I wish I could be certain. Winter is almost 16. She has diagnosed Hyperthyroid and has lost a lot of weight over the last year. She was on a topical that I would rub into her ears, and everything was okay. She would purr and I would give treats after. But she kept dropping weight. Took her to...

Hey guys, So a while back my mom's Sheltie (Sandy) passed away. Her one Siamese (Chai) withdrew a lot and seemed to be in mourning for her friend. After a few months my mom went out and bought another Siamese from a breeder, this one just a little kitten (Nami). After about a month they started...

Thanks very much for your help guys, I really appreciate it. She hates the bath, but I'm already seeing an improvement in her sensitivity and the luster of her fur there, so I think she'll have to bear with it for a little longer. Thanks so much.

Hey all, brand new poster :p For a while my older cat, Winter, has been very sensitive near the base of the her tail. If scratched there she licks the air or the nearest surface, so I try hard not to even touch her there unless I'm brushing her. In that specific area I've noticed little black...
