TT> was a @ 2 year old Tuxido short hair domestic male. The cyottes out in our back 40 got him a couple of weeks ago. He was an indoor/outdoor kitty and loved his hunting night time freedom! He was dumped on our paito one snowy , cold January day when he was @ 2 months old, starved and almost frozen to death. We rushed him to our vet. and then nursed him back to health. He was so sweet and followed me all around inside and outside only about a step behind me talking to me all the while. (a real wind bag) he had to have his freedom to roam his/our 40 acres in the pacific northwest on the Canidain border in North Idaho. He loved the seasons, summer heat and especally our harsh, deep winter snow. he used to burrow through the snowbanks that I left with the snowblower like a mole again talking all the while to me!. He would/did have it no other way, that was his life an indoor/outdoor kitty. My question is this; I want to know how that I get over loosing my little boy. (The Tennessee Tuxedo ) ????? Could someone who knows help me start to heal a broken heart. Thank you, and TT. I will see you in the 'Other Life' someday........ 'The Mafia Man'. My Kitty Kat.

He went out one evening, as he always did, never to come home. He was struck by a car and died. He was an unneutered male cat, so when he didn't return home at first, I thought he might be off chasing ladies. However, after a couple of days, I began to worry and went searching for him, and found him by the side of the road. I took him home and buried him. He was only 10 months old, and just getting a start in life. He was very friendly and cuddly, and would follow me around wherever I went, always about 6 feet behind me, trotting along. I am utterly heart-broken and guilt-ridden, thinking that I shouldn't have let him out that night. Of course he loved being outside, and it could have happened anytime. I can still picture him prowling around in the grass, ready to pounce on anything that would move. He was unlike any cat I've ever seen, and he would wag his tail incessantly like a dog. I miss him so much, and want to believe I will see him again in heaven. I will always love him and never forget him. Rest in peace, and God bless you, Nelson. My little cat Nelson died last week.

We took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with cancer. He had stopped eating and drinking and we knew he was aware of what was happening. We were advised to give him water ( by syringe ) to keep him hydrated. We tried this and he really wasn't interested in it. Rather than prolonging things we decided to put out food and water for him to be used at his will. I had a talk with him and assured him that all was okay and to let us know when he is ready to go. For a couple of days he sat and slept away from us, mainly looking out the window. Finally on Saturday evening he layed on his side and let out a final meow. I picked him up and held him as he passed. He let out a couple of sighs and I assured him all would be OK and go to sleep. he died in my arms and did not seem to be afraid. I don't think I ever would want to be put in this situation, but I would not trade it for anything as I told my kitty I would be there for him till the end. Some friends have said Poopie was almost human. My thoughts on this is he was more than that he was beautiful. He will be missed dearly. After 16 and a half years my cat had taken ill last week.

I had lost Sisi on November 16, 2010 around 9:00 AM. She died in my lap and we were on the way to the vet. She had cancer. She was 10 years and 3 months old and she was not fixed. She had 2 surgeries because of the cancer and I think that the second one made her feel worse. She passed away four months after the second one and she fought just because she loved us, for three years with cancer.It is my fault that I could not make her live longer and better. I did not want to fix her because it did not feel right. i could not give her a mate, because her mom died when she gave birth. I know I made many mistakes and I cannot bring time back and correct them. I will never forgive myself. She gave everything she could to please us ans I feel like I did not give her enough at all. I am not the same person since she is not here. I miss her, I love her, I cannot be without her. we all miss her a lot. Words cannot tell it all. My heart will always be in pieces. I prayed to God, or whoever is up there, to take 10 years of my life and give them to her, just to have her longer, but no... I guess he needed her more than me, which is IMPOSSIBLE. May be it was time for her to be something else, not a cat. but she was actually an ANGEL in a body of a cat. They all are ANGELS. I believe in life after death. I am just praying now and I will pray everyday, to be with her again one day. To have the luxury of having her next to me again. I just want her to have everything I could not give her, she deserves everything in the world, and I need her to know that I love her from the bottom of my heart, or whatever has left from it. And she will always have a very special place in every single cell of my soul. She is forever wit me. My family misses her a lot as well. They always will. And we will be waiting for her to come back in our lives again. We love you, Sisi. Words are not enough to express what we feel for you, my love. Hi, it is so hard to say anything.

I have experienced the spirits of a pet dog and a pet bird. If those animals survive after death I am certain cats do too.

I as well just lost my baby "Lucky" who was 15 1/2 years old from kidney failure to :'(. Like your baby my baby was one of a kind, we had such a close bond. I had my baby since he was 3 days old. He was always with me throughout the day and would sleep with his arm wrapped around my neck at night. Words can not descripe how much I love and miss him. I made the decision to have him put down because his quality of life was no more. I tried everything possible to save him. I took him to four different doctors, hopsilized him, gave him medication two times a day, cooked for him, and gave him an IV once a day. I spent thousands of dollars but nothing I did worked. Making the decision to put him down and actually doing it was one of the hardest decisions of my life, my heart literally ached. I know our babies love us just as much as we love them and understand we did all within our power. I believe they are just like us they get tired of fighting and accept they must move on. I know I would not want to live in pain everyday, have pills shoved down my throat 2x's daily, needless and liquid stabbed into me everyday ,and then have no energy to do the things I loved. This is not a quality of life for anyone or anything. As much as I miss my angle kitty I know he is now in a better place and is no longer suffering in pain. I will always love him and will never forget him!! I can understand how you feel guilty but don't your baby Lucky knows you loved him so much. To me it sounds like he held on as long as he could to prove to you how much he loved you. I find comfort to believe that one day when our times comes we will be reunited with them. As you said you believe they have spirits...... so course your baby will be with you in spirit. It is not because he is upset it is because he loves and misses you. They have been with us for so long it is just as hard for them as it is for us. I believe they as well have to feel at peace before they go do what ever it is they do in kitty heaven. I think they will always occasionally pop in and check in on us at times :). Just as we will think about them from time to time as the years pass. Carmine,

It was his time; and his life had become one of pain. Forgive yourself; as I'm sure he has. You don't need to be alone and sad anymore. You just need to give yourself permission not to be.

My beloved male Persian cat “Lucky” just died a few weeks ago...he was going to be 22 years old this January... He had kidney failure, and was developing many other health disorders....I tried hard to fight the battle of health with him....had to give him many treatments on my own and working with the Vet. It was an expensive process, and my beloved pet just hated the needles and medicine....In mist my treatment for him I over-looked some medication which caused his death....I feel so guilty of not being there for him when he passed-away...I had to work, and still remember that terrible day when I rushed home to find his lifeless body.... I feel that he is still around and don’t know if he is happy or mad that he is not with me.... I am trying to find peace in my mind and heart that he has forgiven me....I will never forget him, and sad that he is not with me...How can I get over his loss.... I am alone and sad most of the time.....Will I get over him, or do I need help! Yes, I agree that cats have spirits not souls….
