This is the first time I have been able to get online but this past Tuesday Tavia died unexpectedly.
And I miss her so much. Our floors are really hard and she was on my bed and I was loving on her and then she went to get down suddenly and she hit wrong or something because I heard her hit the floor and it was really loud and I jumped up and she was laying in the floor and had twisted sideways and was crying out I picked her up and carried her into the livingroom and told my dad that something was wrong and he got up and I told him to take her collar off and he did and then he tried to blow some air in her nose, we were in the middle of an ice storm and were frozen in but she died with in minutes I was holding her and she started making this gurgling noise and then she died. I feel so guilty like maybe if I would have stopped her from getting off the bed she would still be here. I took her to the basement and sat and cried beside her and told her how much I loved her.
There will never be another cat like her. I just loved her so much and I feel like someone has cut my heart out.

It was not your fault. Please do not beat yourself up over this.

Play happily over the rainbow bridge Tavia!

OMG how very heartbreaking for you. Did you ever find out how she died, did she break her neck in the fall? Please don't blame yourself, it was no fault of yours. God wanted her back so he took her. Many tears coming for you, you have my deepest condolences.

I think that the fall collasped her lung or caused a heart attack I am really not sure.

OMG My heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry. It's not your fault. This could have happened if you weren't in the room.

RIP Tavia

It was almost like the last time I petted her she was saying goodbye, before it happened I was in the living room and I heard her meowing and so I went into the bedroom and I petted her and she loved all over me and then I got her a fresh bowl of food and I laid across the bed and she came to me and loved all over me and then she laid down for a minute and just starred at me and then she got up to jump off the bed and then it happened and when she hit she made this low growling type of meow and I could tell she was hurting. But I didn't realize how bad. And then I remembered dreaming that someone was trying to smother me the night before. And I had actually been at my aunts because I had gotten stuck there over night due to the weather. But when I got up I felt an irristible urge to get home. But I thought I was worried about Chloe because I was having trouble with the person who was keeping her. But I think maybe something was telling me I need to see about Tavia. I just can't believe she is gone.

OMG I am so truly sorry. Especially because of what you had to witness had to be so heart wrenching. I wish I had more words to console you right now.

I am so, so sorry! Please don't blame yourself. She may have had something wrong already which caused her to fall in the first place.

Rest in peace, sweet girl

I know she had been having a couple of accidents but I just thought that maybe since it was just a drop or two of poop that maybe some had stuck to her, I know it sounds gross, or that maybe some how she had ingested some of my hair and stuck to her till she got out of the litter pan. But it was all within a coule of days of each other. Maybe if I had done something she would still be here but I didn't really think anything was wrong.

Thank you all so much for the gifts and the condolances. they mean so much to me. More than words can say. When she died and I started crying my dad fussed at me he said there was no sense in crying because I was grown. But I couldn't help it. And I wanted to thank you all for letting me express my grief.

That is what we all are here for. Take as much time as you need and cry to your hearts content.
