I don't even know where to begin. My cat, Elmo, was over 15 years old. I've had him since he was 5 weeks, and I was 15. He came into my life at a very critical stage-I was a depressed teenager with suicidal thoughts, & then suddenly I had this tiny little kitten who was completely dependent on me. I know longer felt the urge to take my life-I had someone who needed me. Through the years Elmo has been my Guardian Angel-saving me over and over again in many ways. I put a lot of emotion into this little guy, and he never let me down. Don't get me wrong-he could be a pain in the rear
I'm a mess!!!! |

My heart goes out to you. OMG. What can I say? I promise I won't get corny. YES it hurts. Your cat was as much a part of your family as your child. And the fact that Elmo was there when you needed an anchor. Yes you should grieve for him. I'll grieve with you. I don't have anything to offer other than than this. My heart aches as I write this. Please take a good deep breath and hug your 2 year old. Please stay in touch.

I'm happy to report that my cat Elmo, returned home this morning. He looks like he lost some weight and hasn't stopped drinking and eating since he got in. I want thank this forum for giving me an outlet. I thought I had lost my friend and to be able to write it down helped me deal with what I was feeling. It was a huge relief to know that how I was feeling is normal, as I thought I was losing my mind!!!!! And thank you especially, luvemlots. I read what you wrote before going to work last night and it made me feel better. These animals really know how to get into our hearts.
I thank God my Elmo came home to me. He is not well and by the looks of it this little "adventure" of his aged him considerably. Back to the Veterinarian this week! To anyone who loses your pet, aka family member, my heart goes out to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am a new member but plan on being regular, so I'll keep you updated on Elmo's health issues! Thank you! Dara |

dear librakitty:
I'm glad your kitty came back. Your story was heartbreaking and very similar to mine. My Abby came into my life the same way your kitty did, I was a depressed teenager and she was this little soul that captured my heart, and she was there for me through so many things. I had to put her down a year ago, she was 10, and still haven't gotten over it. It was the right thing to do, but still the hardest thing I've had to do. I also lost Ranger in June, a kitty I inherited when my grandma died. Losing him wasn't just losing him, it was also losing my last living connection and promise to her. I got him when he was 13 and he died at 19 1/2. I am sorry that you are going through the same path I've already started on. It's not one I would wish on anyone. Luvemalot is right, they may not say anything, but they don't need to, actions say more than a thousand words. Hug your kitty close, enjoy him for as long as you're able. |
