Arrabella, the best cat ever (at least for me)

[lesliecat]

On February 22, 2013, I had to put my calico cat, Arrabella, to sleep.  Almost a year ago the vet removed two cancerous lumps (mammary gland cancer).  She told me that it was in the lymph glands and would probably go to the lungs.  Nine months later that is what happened.  She was only 12 years old.  I have had two cats live to be 29 so I'm used to having long lived cats.  Unfortunately Arrabella didn't get that chance.  I have put many cats to sleep over the 50 years I have had cats but this seems to be the hardest.  I am completely devastated.  I couldn't function for two days.  Hopefully in time it will get better.  I found a place that mixes the cats ashes and glass to create a beautiful piece of jewelry (Pysche Cremation Jewelry).   This may not be for everybody but I think I will find some comfort.

Thanks so much.  It is really nice to be around so many nice cat lovers.

I still hold his ashes and talk to him every day ... like he's still here ... heartbreaking ....

What a beautiful sentiment with the jewellery ... Arrabella will be with you always

Condolences on losing your precious girl! I lost my little Manx Joey when he was only 5 years, and it is so hard - the prime of life. That was in 2009, and many cats ago (I rescue homeless & feral cats), but Joey was my "sphinx cat", guardian of my dreams, cat of my soul. Joey & Arrabella are on the other side now, with all our loved ones and more

  I know exactly how every one is feeling.

 The grief is really a physical pain. It certainly gets harder as you become older.

 I lost my J.C. 3 weeks ago tomorrow.
 I have a farm, and am just working like a zombie at the moment. 

 My story of a very special cat which I will write here, It might help me.

 At the moment the keyboards would get soaked

 I had never heard the 'Rainbow Bridge' it is beautiful.
