My Best Friend........

megshafer profile image
66 Replies

I haven't been here for awhile. My very best friend, he was a yellow and white guy with a bobtail puff....he was my cat.

He was with me from a kitten you could hold in your hand to a charming, attentive, 15 year old.

He was one of the best friends I ever had, and I miss him.

I hope everyone is doing well.

So sorry to hear this as it's horrible when you lose a beloved pet. My last cat was 17 when he passed and he was white with big faded ginger patches and a big fluffy striped tail. He was also agoraphobic. x

I was tearing up as I added my note and my babies have come and tapped me, (probably just wanting fed, as I woke up late.) I love the image of your baby in the palm of your hand and all the love you gave him

He was the most gentle soul...very inquisitive, but he always stayed close, to me, he was a indoor fellow. He rescued me from a little cat basket at the Cat area of Human Society. I am lucky he rescued me!! He was very much loved, I think he knew that.

Thank you for your kindness.

It’s a heartbreaker but he has sent another to look after you, look around there is another one waiting to help mend your broken heart. So many creatures need us as we need them so I hope you can find it in your heart to love another. All my empathy is with you I feel your pain

megshafer in reply to Sandyeggo

When we are ready.... For now, we are very sad. It will take time to heal from this....he was one of the extra special ones. And, you are right one day I will run into the one....I'll know. Thank you.

We have adopted three dogs and one cat from our local shelter, they are our babies, family; we have lost many dogs and cats in the past due to health reasons, it just tears you up. I hope you will in time adopt another animal from your local shelter, they all need love.

So sorry my friend, losing a pet is very hard. Just this week I had my little Kiwi dog pass and it breaks your heart. She was eleven years old and I miss her so much. I try to focus on the many good times I had with her and picture her pain free waiting for me in my mansion.

Sir George, It is the hardest, is it not? I am so sorry for your loss. I have pictures, too...treasures.

What sort of wee beastie was she? I've had large doggies most of my life and my Norrie is ten now and my last big one. They are such wonderful friends as you know.
