I hurt
i am sorry soft
"John" wrote in message ... I hurt so bad. I'm a 72 year old man, and oh how I hurt. I have never been able to express my feeling to anyone, especially family and friend, but I hurt so bad, I have to tell someone. I lost my 12 year old cat Babygirl yesterday. I took her to the Vet yesterday because she hadn't been eating very well and not going to the litter box much. While they were examining her and drawing blood, she had a heart attack and died. The vet said their was something wrong with her kidneys, and she had a tumor in her chest. I can't tell you how much it hurt when the Vet came to me and said we lost her. The Vet ask me if I wanted her to take care of Babygirl or if I wanted to take her home. I said I will take her home and bury her beside Baby, my male cat that died a little over 12 years ago at the age of 14. Babygirl and I lived alone and for the last 12 years, she has pretty much been my sole company. She was the first, I would see in the morning and the last at night, and several times in between. She slept between my feet and used my ankle for a pillow every night. I called her my little foot warmer. I learned to sleep on my back with my feet uncovered, so she could sleep between my feet. In the morning, before I got out of bed, I would always rub her head and pet her and tell her how much I loved her. When I got her home, She was still soft and warm. I held her for a couple of hours and then laid her in her box in the window that she liked to lie in. She is lying on her side and just looks like she is asleep. I later laid her of the bed where she liked to lie and left her there all night. I was going to bury her today, but I may wait one more day. I have always told her that if she would live to 20 and I would live to 80, we could both go together. I have told her many times, not to die before me, because I didn't know if I could take it, and at the present time, I don't know if I can. I don't think I have ever felt this bad. |

I hurt
visits are a reality here, i figured i wouldn't get visits from the cats who
have left us in the new house, wrong, soft "Dan Mahoney" wrote in message ... One thing to consider - my brother Pat inherited our grandmother's house when she passed away. He also inherited her Siamese cat Samantha. Pat and Sam became very close, and Sam became quite fond of Pat's dog, too. Samantha passed away a couple of years later. A few months later Pat was surprised when he heard a Siamese-ish meow, then turned and watched a very Sam-like cat turn the corner into the hallway headed back towards the bedroom. He hurried back there and looked around, but no cat was there. From that day on it became a regular thing - a couple times or so every week Pat would a good, clear glimpse of Sam for a few seconds. Sometimes she would walk around a corner and disappear, some times she would be sitting or standing still and would just suddenly not be visible any more, but she became a regular visitor. These visits continued for a few years, until Pat was strong enough to get by without the visible reminder that she was watching over him. |
