Pelvis injury

My gosh, I am so sorry you lost her. The poor thing May she rest in peace

I am sorry to hear that! Hope all is well

I'm so sorry for your loss

I can come to terms with the fact that Jinx is no longer here. What I can not seem to forget is how much she must have suffered. I found her 26hrs after she went missing and the weather had been extremely cold. She had to be treated for hypothermia as her body temp was down to a critical level.

No matter what I do, my thoughts keep coming back to the thought that as well as being extremely cold she must have been in so much pain. The sound of her crying when I called her name is something I will never forget.

I am sorry to be such a misery but I feel so guilty and heart broken at the moment.

Please, no apology needed...
your feelings of guilt and grief are to be expected under such tragic circumstances.
You did everything you could for your precious Jinxy.
She would tell you that if she could.

Only time will soften your grief but thankfully, you will always carry the love you shared with Jinxy in your heart.

Until you are together again....
play in the sun at the Bridge Jinxy.

Oh Dave you will feel guilty its a normal reaction i feel guilty as Lucy was missing for about as long as Jinx and i keep thinking how she must have been suffering out there in the cold and in pain and me not being able to find her . you must be feeling worse as you lost your jinxy and im very very lucky that Lucy made it as the vet did want to have her put to sleep . i feel guilty about george who i lost 3 weeks ago he was in terrible pain and must have been for a few hours and i didnt know till i heard him crying and i keep thinking what if i had found him sooner .
you have lost someone you loved very much and you are in pain but it will get easier with time and you will remember all the good times with Jinx

I am sooo sorry for your loss.... Take comfort that she is playing happily and pain free over the bridge

Your not a misery Dave, you've lost a companion and it's only natural that your grieving Please don't feel guilty though, because you made sure Jinxy had the best care they could give. Imagine if you hadn't found her when you had. that would have made you worse, but although Jinxy was in hospital she was warm and painfree

Jinxy isn't suffering anymore because she's safe and sound at the bridge, and when the time is right she'll be the first one to meet you at the bridge

I am very sorry for you loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss

I know how it feels to carry around that kind of guilt, but please don't let it consume you. Jinxy knows how much she is loved and she wouldn't want you to feel that way.

She is at peace now

The last thing that Jinx would want is for you to feel guilty Dave. She knows how much you love her and always will and she will always love you too. I got all choked up reading your story. I know how devestated you are, but please, don't blame yourself. You may not want to hear this now, but when you are feeling better, there are soooo many cats that desperately need loving homes. Perhaps you will open your heart and home to some sweet kitty who deserves one and who needs you. Other cats don't replace the ones we have lost but they too find a special place in our lives and lessen the pain.

Much love to you Jinx

Thank you all so much for your messages over the last few days and especially for the private messages you took the time to send. It has been very much appreciated.

Having read through some of the other threads in the 'bridge' section, it is obvious that the overwhelming feeling of loss is not something which is peculiar to me but is something that effects everyone who has lost their loved pet.

I have another cat called Beau and although he is quite an independent fella and was more interested in what was in Jinxys bowl than Jinxy herself, he has shown signs of missing Jinx over the last day or so. His appetite is still fine (wild horses would not keep him from his bowl at feeding time!!) but he spends a lot of time smelling the areas where Jinxy has been and he also seems to search around looking for her. I am sure this will get easier for him in time but it is so hard not being able to speak 'cat' and explain what has happened.

In time I may consider getting another cat but I am not sure how Beau would respond. Beau is a cracking personality and I would not be without him but its nice to have an affectionate cat as well and Beau is not really a lap cat (unless there is munchies to be had )

I have not been able to look at my pics of Jinx recently but thought you would like to put a face to the name!

Oh Jinx...
what a sweet face.
You are missed sweetie pie.

My deepest condolences on your tragic loss of Jinxy. I know how difficult those last memories are for you, but Jinxy has forgotten them now and is playing happily over RB - imagine her giving headbutts and purrs to your father and someday you will all be reunited again, this time forever.
