My Hendrix passed away last night.

I have not been to the board in a LOONG LOONG LOONG time. But when I did frequent this board everyone was very friendly.

No one understands my pain right now than you all friendly cat people.

I came home from work this morning at around 12:30a, I walk into my bedroom and find my 9 year old Maine coon mix Hendrix passed away on the floor.  I knew instantly she was gone based on how she was laying and of course she was not breathing. I was in a state of shock but I instantly bagged her up and plan on either burying her, or taking her to a vet to dispose of.

She had been acting a little strange the last week or two, stopped eating and only drinking water.  I based this behavior on our move we just did. She always acts a little strange when we move into a new place.  Her sister Marley is usually unfazed just a loud rag doll mix that meows a lot.  Hendrix was gentle but very lovable, and quiet. I had her since I was 17 years old, I adopted her from the vet clinic I worked at back then.

She was my best friend and knows all my secrets.  We had a bond like no other and I will miss her dearly.  
How do you all deal with this grief?  Every time I look at Marley(the white one) I get teary eyed and miss my Hendrix.

So sorry. (((hugs))). When I lost my kitty it took a while, but eventually when you think of her you will remember the happy memories more than the sad ones. I hope this day comes soon for you.

I'm sorry for your loss. It must have been a real shock to come home and find her like that. RIP, Hendrix.

Oh my goodness, l'm so sorry!. What an awful thing to come home to

Have fun at the Bridge,  Hendrix 

I'm so very sorry for your loss, time does help, but right now you need to grieve. It IS hard to look at the surviving furbabies, but they need our love more then ever now, I know its so hard to go on without the one we have loved for so long. Rainbow Bridge gained another beautiful soul with Hendrix. God bless, I'll keep you in my prayers.
 

Beautiful Hendrix

I am so sorry about your beautiful kitty.  I wish I could give you an answer as to how we go on, but I'm not the best person to answer that question.  I just lost my sweet Garfield two weeks ago today and it is very hard.  I just take things day by day and when that is too unbearable, minute by minute, and sometimes second by second.  I just tell myself to take one more breath and I pray and pray and pray for peace...  I will pray that you find peace too.  RIP, sweet kitty.  You are so missed...

Hugs,

Amy, Furball in Heaven, Garfield in Heaven, Eclipse, Spooky, & Cutie
