My Precious Baby Zen

Zen went to cross the Rainbow bridge yesterday. I already miss him more than I can even express. His big blue trusting eyes. his sweet face, his warm, wriggly, purring body, his short little tail, his soft fur, his cuddles and midnight snuggles. His "Hello Mommy" meow, his "I'm hungry! FEED ME NOW!" meow, his "It's time to go to bed Mommy" meows. Our long conversations, his endless comfort, his amazing personality, his shyness, his silliness, his sneaky ways. his love of treats...His long naps in the sun and on the many soft places he loved. His dislike of closed doors. How cute he was in the donut position he liked to sleep in, how he loved to chase his catnip balls, play with his feather toys, and attack his fake mice ...Oh I  could go on for days, weeks, months, years...oh my beautiful baby, whose Mommy will I be now? I miss and love you every second left of forever and I can hardly wait til I see you again someday in heaven where we will be together forever!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear Zen.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He was certainly a beautiful looking cat and it sounds like he had an amazing personality to go with his good looks.

RIP beautiful Zen. Run free at rainbow bridge. You are going to be very deeply missed but your memories will live on.

What a beautiful boy he was. I'm very sorry for your loss. RIP, Zen.

That was beautiful. Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. RIP Zen, you're a gorgeous boy.

I wish there were words to take away your sadness.   My heart breaks for you and all that you've been through lately. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, the hole it leaves in your heart is painful beyond belief. You wrote a beautiful tribute for a wonderful friend, Zen is waiting warm and safe at the Rainbow Bridge for your reunion. Take care of yourself and allow your happy memories to give you comfort. Don't dwell on how much you miss him, he'll be with you always in your heart, a love like that is forever. RIP beautiful Zen!

He was a beautiful cat and your words brought tears to my eyes.  Thank you for sharing pictures with us.  Maybe someday another cat will be fortunate enough to meet you.  I'm very sorry for you loss.  You will be in my prayers.

Oh, I'm so sorry.  What beautiful words for a beautiful boy.  My heart breaks for you.  

I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Thanks for sharing pictures of your handsome boy.

Beautiful Zen  

I'm so sorry for your loss. We love them so much. It helps to have this site and express that. I never knew this site even existed until a couple of months ago. I lost 2 last yr. One was 18 and the other 15 and no one understood my pain. The comment I got was you're acting like this is a child. I'm so glad that you have us furry baby lovers here. We know your heart is aching. Again I'm so sorry. He was a. Beautiful baby and he was loved and he felt your love.

Thank you all so very much for the condolences. Tomorrow is one week and I am still heartbroken beyond words. I miss him so much and am really struggling with the grief. I just lost my father recently and the wounds are so painful. My beautiful Daddy and my precious baby are both gone. I can barely function and find myself crying constantly. I honestly do not know where to turn. I am so glad I found this site, you are all so kind and wonderful. Blessings and kitty kisses to you all. Thanks so very much for the warm thoughts. I miss my precious baby... . Nearly 15 years together and now my bed is so cold and empty without him. Feeling terribly sad tonight...a week ago was our last night together...oh i can't survive without my baby...tears are flowing...

I can only imagine how overwhelmed you feel right now. How I wish there was some magic answer I could give you. Just hold on as tight as you can to the happy memories. It's hard to do right now, but remember the life, not the death, and one day there will be more smiles than tears.

KittyKatGurl777 ....i don't know if where you live there is a vet university....up here in ontario, there is one that has a phone and email contact that people who are in grief can call and talk with someone...i have not used one...but it might help to discuss your feelings and sadness with a grief counsellor
a website i read talked about the "stages of grief by Elisabeth Kubler Ross being Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance" it mentions that we all go through these stages...not necessarily in order....and even go back and back to one stage or another....in healing from grief....because you definetly have to give yourself time to heal.
and like you said being on this site helps.
i lost a young cat jan. 22, 2014 and being on this site also helps. i also have another older cat and younger dog so those animals help a great deal...cause they still need me and everyday is important.
i hope your pain fades....so that you can remember all those good times...and laugh about them. your cat Zen was a beautiful guy. take care.:heart4:
