It is a great comfort to read notes from so many people. When one of us loses a loved cat and all we can think of is sadness it really helps to know there are other people who love their cats as much. It helps to be reminded I tried to help Sweetie and probably did make her life a little easier...
To all of you who wrote me about Sweetie.
Thank you for writing me about my cat Sweetie. Maybe it's hard for some people to understand how much I loved her since she was never really mine. But you know how bad i feel. It helps to know there are others who love cats the way I do. Thank you for...
Dear Di and Bob,
Thank you for writing me on a day that was awfully sad here. September means different things to different people ; for me it's always going to be the time i said goodbye to my Sweetie. That little cat lived through a rough New York winter outside. Once the weather began to...
A year ago today i let Dr.Starr euthanize Sweetie. She was a feral cat i fed for 9 months and trapped with the wonderful thought that she would be part of my family. The doctor had to tell me she had leukemia. All the details are vague now because the news was like getting punched. Doctor mapped...
Mia is so beautiful. All the pictures of her sleeping or rolling around with the pleasure of seeing you are just beautiful, but my favorite, I think, is the picture of her looking at you, sleepy and loving. She purred for you didn't she? She has such a lovely face, but you are right--I can never...
Dear MnM- Your remembrance for Minnie Grace is just so beautiful. She was such a beauty herself--those little paws are precious. I have loved 4 all black or tuxedo cats: Binky, Beano, Dylan and Sweetie. i love how they look. Each one had a special personality. i love them all. Your tribute to...
Dear MedeaM-
i have not been on the cat site for a few days, so just now i saw your photographs. Your ways of remembering Mia are very beautiful. It does feel good to have her ashes home. Both the urn you have for Mia and her beautiful paw print are wonderful reminders of the love you shared...
Hello Luvmykittys,
One of the wonderful writers on this site somehow "gave me purrrraise" for something I wrote. I'm the woman who had to let my stray cat Sweetie be euthanized by my vet. Probably the only thing that helps me through the low points that come every day is reading notes here...
Dear Medeamagic,
I am still here thinking of you, as are the other cat lovers who have written to you, and the others who read your post but couldn't write. We are all thinking of you. I know how lonely these days feel now that you don't have her in your home. It takes me a very long time to...
I am so sorry to read that your Mia is gone. It is so final. The decision has to be made quickly, even when you know your baby is sick and the end is coming. Still, you see something too awful like the choking or for me drops of blood falling from the mouth of my sweet Dylan, and you know you...
Dear Di & Bob- Thank you for such kind words. Yes, it has been two weeks since i said goodbye to my little girl and I still cry about it every day. I miss her so much. i wish i could have given her much more comfort than i did. Every day if i do a little something to remember her or share her...
Sweetie never let me touch her. She never came into my apartment or met my 4 cats. I had wonderful dreams of taking this little stray cat into my home, but they never came true. i fed her outside for 9 months and i trapped her and took her to the veterinarian. He had to tell me she had FeLK...
Sharon, Are you doing okay? I think Saturday you might have taken your cat to say goodbye, if you were able to find him. I have been praying for you today. I hope you can do what is best for the kitty, or if you don't find him, please know you did all you could, and that is so much more than...
Dear Feralvr,
Thank you, thank you for your kind words. I am so very sorry you suffered a death in your family. I hope all of you were able to comfort each other a little and share fond memories. I found that even time does not ease the pain but as days go on you find you must get back to the...
Yes, please spay your cat. She will settle down, not growl or make that throaty sound, she will want your attention and not become overexcited by your touch, and in general be your sweet baby! It is very dangerous for a declawed cat to be outside your home. A declawed cat can not fight if it is...
I trapped and tried to rescue a stray cat after feeding her for 9 months. My veterinarian told me she was FeLV positive. I have 4 adult cats at home, two are FiV positive. I had to make a decision that minute at the veterinarian office. I asked the vet to euthanize my this stray I love. Maybe i...
Dear Feralvr,
Please write me one more time. You helped so much with trapping and preparing for Sweetie to be part of my family. It would be so good to hear from you once more.
