Today was sad, as my girl cat Jack passed on today. I'll miss her. She was a rescue kitty. Here she is with her "pawrtrait".

I’m so sorry it’s awful when the day comes. 😢 x

in reply toAgoodenough

I remind myself she had a good few years after I rescued her. I do miss her, the silly girl. Thanks for your kind words.

Our cat died suddenly in September. I felt so sad and aching inside. I was surprised how sad I felt. So I understand x

in reply toAgoodenough

I'm sorry for your loss, too. They can be pretty special.

in reply toAgoodenough

That's it with pets they become part of the family and you get attached no matter what creature it is.

in reply to

you are so right!

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Jack.

Her markings were similar to baby's mate Percys who is a brown and white tabby and very spoilt!

in reply to

They should be spoilt, don't you think? :) Thanks so much.

A friend at my previous job was signed off for 2 weeks on the sick after her dog died.

I’m so sorry to hear about Jack. She looked beautiful. If you want to talk, we’ll be willing to talk and listen anytime. I know how hard it is to loose a family member/pet. I had two other cats before my cat, Bunny was adopted.

in reply toActivity2004

You are so very kind. Give your kitty Bunny some extra pets for me. I sure appreciate the kind thoughts and the offer. :)

Its so sad when you lose a pet, As a big animal lover I feel for you. You obviously loved her so you will be left with very fond memories as you were the means of her having a happy, loving home. Take care and remember the good times young as together.

in reply toRoadRunner44

Will do!

Thank you. She was much loved. I made a $40 donation to the vet to be used by someone with less resources than I as a memorium for her.

Very sorry for your loss. It it devastating when we lose our babies.

in reply toJacksc06

It's always hard to take losing a pet no matter what creature it was!

How's your kitty getting on? Baby is fine and is still being spoilt getting fish today for her weekly treat.

Hi. Siren is fine. Eating like a pig at the moment. At present he is asleep on his human sized beanbag with his teddy under a blanket. Stay well.

in reply toJacksc06

He's a black and white version of baby!

in reply toJacksc06

It is tough, and I appreciate the kind words.

Hi Wallowa. I'm so sad for you. It's very hard to lose a beloved pet. You are right to remember what a good life she had with you and will have slipped away knowing she was well loved and cared for. You have her lovely 'pawtrait' to remember her by. 🙏🌈

in reply to

Thank you for your kind words, they matter. She was a loved cat.

What a magnificent cat that is.

Sorry for your loss. Worst thing about having a pet since we live longer than they do.

We acquired a parrot several years ago. He will probably outlive us. Good thing the kids like him.

What a kind way to honour your pretty Jack, You gave her love and now you have handed that love on to someone else who may need a helping hand.II know the pain of your loss is still raw but in time that will ease.

Memories will last forever.

All pets or should are special to there owners and I know the heartbreak of loosing one.

I have always had a Boxer dog over the last 40 years,4 in total but nothing for the last 5 years and it is hard.You have my sympathy ,until you loose a pet than you not a clue.

One of my Boxers lived with a cat and they just got on great,she used to pinch his food and sleep on his back!

in reply toHamishBoxer

I bet that was adorable - cat and boxer buddies! Thank you!

I’m so sorry, it’s the worst part of being an animal lover. But what a happy, loved life you gave to a rescue cat.

in reply to

Thank you so much. I think she was happy.

My heart goes out to you. I lost my companion in October; a rescue also, Tilly, a Little Jack Russell. I miss everything about her, her puppy paws, her little tail which expressed her mood, her expressive eyes and often fun, strong gentle energies, her spirit and intuitive beauty. And she let my beautiful moody Calico banana-split, Bianca groom her :) I videoed it once, on a Saturday night, "Bath Time" and posted in on the Facebook. It was "normal" to see love they had for each other - almost as if they were self-aware and yet enjoyed their differences, my two girls. Bianca still lives (now, age 12, with a friend who totally loves her. I cannot have any pets now anyway, regretfully, due to my immune system being shot with Myasthenia gravis, my M S, and of course the cancer, advancing Gleeson 9. ). I miss them both like crazy. You are in my prayers and good wishes. Smile, and know you helped her and changed her life, giving the goodness. Best, respectfully….r-

in reply tosurvivor75

And you are in my thoughts and prayers, with thanks for your kind words.

So sorry for your loss.

It's a big hole to fill...

These little folk, are simply put, as 'people with paws'.

I lost our own beautiful Poppy, also a rescue cat and it's very difficult, especially I can imagine moreso during these difficult times.

We found that for being a rescue cat she was even more special, more sensitive, even more Intuitive...

Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Much love

Poppy the 🐈

in reply toPoppy_the_cat

Thank you so very much. It sounds like you and Poppy were very bonded.

I’m very sorry to hear that news, it’s always a day we fear. She looks a lovely girl, I hope you had a good many years together, with lots of funny moments you shared and can look back on with love.

Our pets fill out the empty holes in our lives, they give us a reason to get up each day when sometimes it’s the last thing we want to do, We are very lucky when we experience that deep bond. Take care. Dee x

Beautiful cat. My daughter rescued cat almost identical and she has the nicest personality.

She looks content in the photo and she had a good life with you, which might help a little with loosing her. We do miss our pets when they go for sure, though.

We lost our dog and our cat within 4 months of each other, and it was really tough especially on our kids. This was years ago and I still miss their company.

I get it. I do think that if we have done our best by them, that's what counts. Thank you.

Frenchhouse3 in reply to

Ah, I will.

When my previous cat died, I was so upset, I vowed never to get another one, but then both my sons brought home cats that needed re-homing and I’m so glad now.

When you feel ready, maybe give a lovely home to another rescue?

Lots of love xxxxx

in reply toFrenchhouse3

I think I will. I love having cats, and all the ones I've had have deliberately been the older ones that might be less adoptable than kittens. Though I like them too!

So sorry to hear this😥 we just gave a kitten away to a young lady who wanted one for her mother who has medical issues, blessing because we didn't have to take it to the shelter! Hopefully one day you'll get another companion 🐈

I am so very sorry for your loss. We had a little black cat with brilliant green eyes 16 years old we had to have put to sleep because of her age, we still hurt. Just recently we had to have our beautiful yellow female lab put to sleep because of lung cancer, we morn her always.

She was the sweetest spirit. I had a good cry remembering all of them. I had all as kittens. My son as a little guy holding one. He loved kitties as much as I did. Hope u r ok.
