My cat Pixie died today (4th July)
She was 19 and I have known her all my life. She was the thing that kept me going.
R.I.P my little Fuzzy one

So sorry to hear that. My cat turned 1 last month and I couldn't imagine life without her now. Hope you're coping alright. :(

Those crazy animals really get a hold of you. I was just petting my cat just now and saying how I didn't realise how much I missed her 'til I came back (early this morning from vacation). The dog and cat missed us too, even though we had friends staying here.
After we lost our dog in December, my wife was going crazy being home alone. We got another dog around mid January. Don't be afraid to get another one, it really does help; IMHO.

I'm sorry to hear that too. Both our cats are only a few months old, and neither is technically mine, but I would still be sad if one died. I can't even begin to imagine the sorrow of losing a pet you know really well.

19? She must have had a good life then.
Sorry to hear that, Dragonshadow.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss, dear. I know how it feels. But I hope you can be consoled knowing that Pixie was well loved and cared for in her life and was happy and content with you and your family. Picture her now playing with her favorite toys and frolicking in fields of catnip with other beloved kitties like my Baby who passed away with cancer.

Keep your memories of her close to your heart and do eventually take the advice given here to get another furry friend. There will never be another Pixie, but it eases the hurt to give your affection to another kitty in need of a good home.

*hug*

OMG, I am so sorry Dragonshadow :( , believe me, I know words cannot express how you feel. They are like your children--ARE your children. He was 19!! Well, that truly shows you just how much you cared and loved him!

My pre-choc Siamese, Charly lived till 16 1/2, and when he died, It was like half of me died. I was devestated. Then came that fuzzy headed Choc...

Do not fear, you shall see her again one day. and she will be there purring for you, with a nudge to your leg. [img]smile.gif[/img]

My cat, Spookie, died in October of last year, he was 23 years old. October 27, 2004.

Sorry to hear about it mate. Pets aren't pets, they're eccentric family members, it's heartbreaking to lose one. My sincere sympathies.

I am sorry for your loss.
