HELP!

I am so sorry for your loss. My Milo passed on just 2 days ago so I completely understand what you're going through. It hurts so much but they are both in a peaceful place now.

 

Sorry I did not repond to all the posts last night. I was very tired and went to sleep shortly after notifying about her death. Yes I know she is in a much better place now but I can't help but feel misserable. When the health department came to get her this morning I went to straight to work and they sent me back home because all my boss said to me was "hello" and I started to cry so bad I fell down. When I found her last night I was carrying my cat in the crate my legs got really weak and I fell down crying with her in my arms. I went out with my mom to celebrate her b-day or atleast try and when I came home I caught myself calling out my cats name and that is when it hit me again that she is no longer with us and will never be with us again. I have another cat who is a bit older then her and I have noticed her looking around for the other cat. I am sure of one thing. She is going to be the next to go. I know some of you have mentioned getting another kitty but I do not think I can handle another cat dying in my house. After this cat goes away I am not getting another pet that I can fall inlove with.

 

it really is heartbreaking...and everyone has there own preference about whether they get another animal....but for me...the many many years of joy that i had, far outweighed the period of grief that i suffered. i loved my otis so deeply. i would sometimes wonder how i could love something that much. i dont feel that way about max yet, although i love him dearly...but max has only been with me for four months. otis...almost twenty years. he was the best companion that anyone could ask for. he used to take both of his paws when i was holding him, and put them on both sides of my face, then pull my face toward him so he could lick my face.

i will always love him. but there are so many animals that need our love. max is not a replacement for otis, he is just a kitty that needs the kind of love i have to give. and...i have no doubt he will come to be as special to me as otis was...just in a different way.
