Its so sad to lose a cat. I lost one July 8, possibly to cancer, pts, it was unexpected and hard. He was called Baby, about 8 yrs. old and white. Every time I see a white cat I think of him. I feel your loss. donna

I too know the pain of loosing a pet. My cat T died about 7 monthes ago. I still miss her too. She was 9-10 years old when she died. T was a rescue project. She was abandonned and abused when I got her. If someone I used to be friends with had not a burger craving in the early am hours she probably would have died in his truk. Some ass left her in the back of a pick-up truck with a towel in the middle of winter to die. Fortunately the truck owner got hungry and she was rescued. This guy came close to getting evicted from his apartment to find the cat a home. I took her in when he called me about her. She was bony-thin and had a nasty infection in her leg that caused her to limp. I took her to the vet to get mediciation for her leg. She also would not eat at first and had to be spoon fed baby food to get her to gain weight. There are times when I still feel like breaking down in tears cause I miss her. My boys still miss her too. T was like a second mother to Claude and Tegato. Tegato went from being quiet to being very vocal after T's death. T was adorable she was an adult cat but was the size of a 6 month old kitten. It was like having a permenant kitten.

I still have a hard time not blaming myself for T's death. She quit going to the bathroom and eventually quit eating. My hubby noticed she was loosing weight when he went to pick her up. T would cuddle with me but did like it when I picked her up. It's impossible to notice who's using the litter boxes with three cats. T developed a blockage and was making progress when I saw her the night before. I can still remember getting the phone call the next day that she had passed away. I was not expecting it since the vet had said she was getting better the night before. It took my hubby months to get me to stop blaming myself.

My cat's litter boxes are in the basement. Now everytime the boys start meowing in the basement I go running downstairs to see why.


The loss will always hurt and all I can say is to try to remember the good times. If you decide to get another cat make sure you allow yourself enough time to grieve. I still have 2 adorable cats that I love but they are not a replacement for T.
