Southern Sun Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Our beloved kitty cat suddenly and unexpectedly passed away two days after Christmas. It happened in front of our eyes. One minute she was fine and the next, she was gone. We don't know her exact age. She came to us by way of others. She was probably about 9. It was so shocking. It hurts so much. She was the best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fever of love Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Our beloved kitty cat suddenly and unexpectedly passed away two days after Christmas. It happened in front of our eyes. One minute she was fine and the next, she was gone. We don't know her exact age. She came to us by way of others. She was probably about 9. It was so shocking. It hurts so much. She was the best. My condolences for your loss Southern Sun. some people minimize these things, but anyone that's lived with a cat knows that their loss is like losing a family member. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm so sorry . That sounds very traumatic! I love my pets (well, one of them is a jerk) and would be so sad if this happened . Sometimes I start crying just imagining my 5 year old dog getting old and eventually having to say goodbye . Big furry hugs to you. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Southern Sun Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 We've had a dog before, but she was our first cat. We didn't realize what wonderful pets they were, and how bonded you could become with them, until she was part of our family. Seeing her pass like that was traumatic...but in some ways we are grateful. We know she didn't suffer. She didn't wander off or get injured. She wasn't alone. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

amaysngrace Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm sorry for your loss When my first cat died I was shocked how much i actually loved that little guy. I still talk about him sometimes because he was a pretty cool cat. Was your cat cool? What was her name? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lowrider93 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 So sad for your loss, it can be heartbreaking. I had to put down two of my beloved dogs these past two years. I usually find a framed picture of them and light a candle next it. Peace 4 Link to post Share on other sites
SixxChick Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I feel your pain. After an excruciatingly long New Years weekend, my sweet angel kitty (who had been ill) took a turn for the worse and was fading fast. I had made the decision to take her in first thing on Tuesday 1/2/18 to put her out of her misery. She didn't make it through the night and died about 24 hours ago (it was around 2:00 a.m. Pacific time). Just this past August, her sister became ill and I lost her on 8/28/17. That's the loss of two kitties in four months and 5 days. Needless to say, I am not doing well at all and I don't really have any advice on how to deal with the grief. Just know that you are not alone. I know this one of the hardest things to go through. Especially during the holidays. I wish you peace at this very difficult time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
heartbrokenlady Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I love my cats more than some of my friends and family so I understand how much pain you must be in. I'm so sorry for your loss. It won't help you with missing her, but you know, a fast end means she didn't have a long painful death, and you didn't have to face the thought of having her put down. Sending you a long distance hug. XxX 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Arieswoman Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Southern Sun, I am sorry to hear that your kitty left you to go over the Rainbow Bridge. Try to take comfort that she had a quiet passing surrounded by her family. Hugs x 1 Link to post Share on other sites
