Kev, I am so sorry you lost Vicki. She was very lucky that you found her. You gave her a good loving home, and she spent her time with you knowing what it was like to be cared about and wanted. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Just reading this...

My thoughts and prayers are with you...

I'm so, so sorry to hear about your loss, Kev. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know Vicki is watching over you from across the Bridge.

Kev,
I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. May Vicki look upon you smiling and thanking you for loving her so much.

My heart is with you, your wife and your furbabe. Many hugs to you my friend! (((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Oh no, oh no, I just saw this, I'd been hoping so hard she'd be ok. Kev, I'm so sorry for your loss, my heart is breaking for you too

She had a wonderful life with the best humans she could have found. Please take care of yourself, sending (((healing vibes))) for your thumb.

kev, i am so sorry to hear this terrible news, sending you (((hugs))) , just dont know what elese to say, i know how you feel

So sorry, Kev. You gave her your best, including looking after her needs before your own. She's happy now, and wants that for you too. Be kind to yourself. Hope your thumb is on the mend soon, too.

Just to let you know that I have been to see the vet today and settle the bill. It appears that she had had what looks to be a massive stroke and thats what turned her on sunday and left me with a sceptic finger. She was resting and very placid in the afternoon when she was checked again and even though she was not on any drugs at all, she let the vet examine her head to toe and she never even moved. In the past you touched her feet and you knew it.
She then had what looks to be a further stroke and the vet has confirmed that she would have died that day any way and we helped her through kindness - not cruelty.
We also heard from the surgeon re my step father as well this afternoon. He died of a massive heart attack following a huge blood clot.
Cant thank you enough for your words in respect of what I am going through. I have cried for vicki and for clive today and still am. No one ever wrote a book on greiving for a lost pet or how to deal with grief did they?
I keep thinking about another cat - but in some ways its way too early and I am mentally shot to hell. It would feel as though am trying to replace her and I have no intention of doing that.
If anyone can locate the photo I had of her placed on to TCS, please put it in the place for photos for me.
Thanks
Kevin

Kev, a website you may want to look into re: grieving for pets:

http://www.petloss.com/

Also if you go to Amazon.com, and do a book search for "pet loss", there are quite a few titles.

Thank goodness the world is starting to admit that losing a pet is like losing a family member or best friend. There is no such thing as "just a cat", as you well know.

Kev-
Your story sounds all too familiar to me. . . . vet bills, wondering what went wrong. . . if you did the right thing. . . the overwhelming grief. . . . feeling like you're the only person in the world who is so emotional about their cat. . . . and already aching to help another one.

I was already searching the Humane Society. . . . seeing all those cats in need just broke my heart and I found "Morrell" only a few weeks after I lost poor George.

Morrell could never take George's place. They are sooo different! I will always miss George. But somehow I find it very healing to put my energy into another needy kitty. . .

I'm glad you came back to talk to everyone. . .

Laurie

Kev, I found those pictures. I'll post them in that forum for you.

Once again, I'm so sorry for your loss. If you need to talk, you can always come here.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I just read Kev's post about his kitty Vicki. She has joined many of our beloved kitties at the Rainbow Bridge. Kev has requested that Vicki's pictures be posted in her rememberance.

Vicki you will be missed by many. May you rest in peace Sweet One!

Frolick well at the Bridge pretty girl! Daddy misses you and loves you.

I am so sorry that Vicki didn't make it. My heart goes out to Kev and family for their loss.

Kev we all miss you and hope life stops being topsey turvey soon. Our prayers are with you.

What a beautiful girl

Laurie

Kev I am truly sorry to hear that Vicki didn't make it. She will be smiling down from the Rainbow Bridge on her beloved family for all that you did for her. Bless you for giving her the love and attention that she deserved in her life.

Kev,

Maybe Vicki had to go to help your step dad cross over. At least neither are alone and they are both watching over you now as your guardian angels. I know it doesn't ease the feeling of loss...nothing will. Just know we are here for you when ever you need us.
