John, I'm so sorry for your loss.
TommyBoy was so gorgeous and obviously a very special cat. Thinking of all of you.

What a shock! I'm so sorry about your TommyBoy. I think it must be hard especially when death comes quick and unexpected.

Thank you all for such kind words
It was so hard today. I kept looking over at Tommy's favorite sleeping spot, in his igloo with his warm soft blanket. It just looked so sad and empty. The igloo is there with his blanket, but no Tommy
I can't believe he is gone

I am sitting here at work with tears in my eyes. TommyBoy, God I miss you. I will sure cherish those pennies from heaven
that was beautiful... & i had tears running down my face as i watched it.
i'd never hear the penny story before.
one of my favorite stories about our lost ones is Choices. it's especially appropriate for you, since the kitten in the beginning died unexpectedly, like your TommyBoy.

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful kitty. I loss a young one in 11/07 at the same age. I always thought he would be around at least twice that long. It is so hard. Thank goodness we have other kitties in our life to love and focus on. I have 2 right now and we're getting a 3rd tomorrow after work. I never had 3 at once before. That is what this cat site has made me realize. The more the merrier. RIP Tommy boy.

Your story is eerily like mine. I lost my gigantic Russian Blue named Cooper on the 12th of this month and it was very sudden too. I don't know if you followed my threads, but I posted about him having gone blind and then a few short days later he was gone. He was almost exactly the same age as Tommy. He was born in February of 2001 and was also a big beautiful cat like Tommy was.

I fully understand looking at his favorite spots and feeling that lump in your chest because he's not there. It's been almost 2 weeks since Coo-Bear passed on, but I'm still awful sad about the whole thing. I feel robbed honestly. He too was a gentle giant and my best friend in the whole world; human or otherwise. I miss him terribly and find little comfort in the Rainbow Bridge and other forums because all the nice words in the world won't put him back in front of the fireplace where he belongs.

I hope you're getting through it alright, and offer my sincere condolences for your loss. It's a big deal when you lose a top notch pet because they're irreplaceable. It's a big empty feeling that threatens to crush your very soul. I guess the only thing that works is to remember the special times you shared and honor their memory. RIP big Tommy and Cooper; God must have needed you up there in his igloo and by his fireplace.

I just saw this, and I am so sorry for your loss!!! I'm at a loss for words right now, but know that I will be thinking of and praying for you and your wife! It's always amazing how big of a hole they leave in our hearts when they go.

R.I.P. Sweet TommyBoy, wait for your mom & dad over the bridge.

Boy, they sure do leave a huge hole in our hearts. I keep looking at that corner of the room, where Tommy's igloo is, with his favorite blanket. It just looks so sad to see it empty. That was his spot and for now, none of the other cats sleep there. I also miss feeling that bump against my leg and looking down to see Tommy on his back, with his feet sticking up and his paws kneading the air, wanting his belly rubs

We usually took our cats to this special place to have them buried. However, Tommy never did like to go outside, for some reason, he just hated it. So, we decided to have him cremated. Today, I picked up his ashes. I sat in the vets parking lot holding them and couldn't believe our big boy is now in this little tin urn. It's cute though, it has paw prints all over it.

I was thinking of putting up a little shelf, with Tommy's picture and his ashes, above the area where he loved to sleep. I know our other cats will eventually take up this area, but I will never forget that area as being Tommy's. RIP big boy
