Rest in peace my little buddy, I will never forget being 4 years old and putting your little kitten body in a left over easterbaskit, watching your little head pop up to bat at stuff that walked bye.
I will never forget the christmas morning when I was ten and woke up to already unwraped christmas gifts during the night because you felt the bow's on them where a threat to the safty of are home. and promptly tore them to shreds.
i won't ever forget the countless times when i was young, I would do somthing wrong and get in trouble by my mom and be crying in a corner and you would wake up from your cat nap, and come over and rub on me, to let me know that I still had your love no matter how much I ****ed up in life.
I won't ever forget when we had a tsunami warning in 1995 and I had to put u in a cage with my mom and drive inland and up hills, even tho a tsunami never hit.
I won't forget how you where on my bed, as I watched two planes crash into towers, and the world change forever that day.
I won't ever forget how I feel asleep one afternoon and woke up with your head laying cradled in my warm hand.
i know im over 1000 miles away when you passed, and that i never even got to say goodbye, and for that I am deeply sorry, I wish I could have been there cradling ur head as you fell asleep for the very last time, But I was so far away.
you had always been there for me in my time of need, and for your last, I wasn't. and I am so sorry for that.
so even tho your already gone, I just wanna say. goodbye.

RIP

Sorry to hear about your lil' buddy.

Kitty is my cat's name too. My heart aches for your loss. I'm going to have to give my Kitty a big hug when I get home today. The love from a pet is the best kind. It's unconditional and it's real.

Trevor, your post is a beautiful and sensitive tribute to a much loved friend. I suspect your “goodbye” message will strike a soft spot in all of us who’ve ever loved a pet (and been loved by a pet). Damn, I have tears running down my cheeks...

I’m very sorry to hear of Kitty passing away.

Yes, I am in tears too. That hurts so much, and not to be there when her time came.Trevor, we have ´chatted´many times, and I know you have a big heart...that makes for even more pain. I am so sorry you couldnt say goodbye. But..she knew you loved her, from all the times you WERE there. Take heart from that. Animals are very simplistic in their needs. Warmth, food, water and a loving owner. You gave it all, and more, I guess.
God bless.
Nick

I just put my cat Binx to sleep on 10/23/06 He was a dear friend to me too and I know how much it hurts... love to both you and kitty... and maybe kitty and Binx are somewhere playing together waiting for us so they can cross the rainbow bridge with us

Having almost just lost a beloved dog friend, and having lost cats and dogs in the past (as the Vulcans might say) I grieve with thee.

Be assured there IS a pet heaven! No matter what the Churches say I know my pets have souls.

Jesus said: "All flesh shall know the Kingdom of God."

Your cat is in a better place after a long good life and looking on you with love

One of my dogs is now 14. I am sure we will have to say goodbye in the next couple of years. But although she will be missed severely, she too has/had a good and long life.

Thank you all for your support.
Im taking this better then i expected. minimual crying so far, I am at work in the middle of a mall so its tough holding it all in, not hiding it good enough tho, as some people have asked me whats wrong.

thanks again everyone for the kind words.

Trevor, I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Back in '93 I had a black Manx that was my bud, he went everywhere with me, hung out in the garage ect. he was allways there. He died under bad circumstances and I wasn't there to help him, His loss realy tore me up, so I really feel for ya'

Hang in there. Joe

When you have a pet and love them as you obviously did they are no longer your pet.They are your brother,sister,son,daughter and the love you feel is just as real.The loss you feel is also as real.I have a Shepard that was 3 yesterday and I love her as much as you loved your cat.I know there will come a day when one of us will leave this life and it will be very hard on the one remaining.I should say that Ginger means as much to my wife as she does me,but I can only speak for myself.

I feel your pain. I always hate reading these posts. It reminds me of when Al the cat died ( https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20050410-6-027289.html ) that was such a heartbreaking time. Although, I have to say, there is a strange twist to that story.
Al was a yellow cat, I mean pure yellow. We'd had some feral cats running around the house. We encouraged them as they kept the mice down. One wa a completely yellow male. These cats were like your typical feral cats: very skittish and went to great lengths to avoid us. After Al died, in what seemed to be almost overnight, this yellow male cat became unbelievably friendly. He would come around and hang out with us, even walking with us around the yard, following us like a puppy. He absolutely LOVES to be picked up, and when you reach down for him, he literally leaps into your arms. Lori named him Pal and is convinced it is Al reincarnate.
You just never know.

Wow! Great eulogy.

The cat had a great run of almost 20 years.

RIP

All Cats go to Heaven.

Your not alone man. Its a slow process but they get to you everytime. Regardless of what they do its very hard to think they are not going to be there anymore when you open the door.
Had to post. Touched a nerve. I had posted this when one of mine passed. Lots of good advice and similar stories.

Didnt post when our other cat passed from kidney failure but I do have pictures of both of them in my locker at work.

Trevor,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have 2 siamese, which are now 14 years old. I have had them since they were 8 weeks old. They have always been there for me, loving me unconditionally. I know that I will have to face losing them in the future.

Hang in there,

Bill

Very sorry, Trevor.

So sorry to hear about Kitty. I am glad her passing was easy.. hang in there.. you'll probably feel her around you soon since you couldn't be there with her, she'll come find you!! Even though she's not with you physically, she can be with you all the time now.. she has no limitations as we do...

Again, condolences... and hugs to you and to everyone who's lost a pet... or at least those who have actually loved a pet enough to feel their loss...

Im sorry for your loss.
I have a 20 year old cat thats in perfect health for being so old but I fear that its getting close to that time.
shes not blind and she has no aches and pains she gets around like she did back in 89.
I know what its like to lose cats we just lost 2 of are 18 year olds. indoor cats live very long lives.

there is nothing i could say that has not already been mentioned.

sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's always hard to lose a pet, i still have a hard time thinking about my old dog that passed when i was in grade 6. Sounds like you had a really good cat, and some reall great memories.
