What is the one thing you would miss?

Having gone through this in the past year, I can tell you the companionship is number one. The sweet little meows, greeting me at the door, the excitement from them first thing in the morning, the head butts.....

I would miss:
Oliver meowing at me to turn on his faucet for some water, or "faucee wa-wa" as we call it here. I would miss Emma waking me up at 7 every morning for snuggles.
And, of course, there are many, many other things I would miss.

I would miss Lola's cat-scarf routine and I would miss Leo's INSISTANCE on regualr belly rubs.

Among countless other things.

I would miss getting drive-by smacks by Gibby when minding my own business, getting attacked by a cat hiding in the door-mount cat tree when leaving the potty, and opening my drawers and finding a cat inside.

I would miss having bread made on me when I'm laying on the couch, having my seat stolen when I get up, Paige following me with a milk carton around the kitchen. Cats in the laundry. Getting nuzzle-tacked by purring kitties. Lemur-posing to get a head scritch.

Basically all those things I tell them they ought not do- I'll miss when they're not around to do them.


Aww.. I know what I'd really miss... Paige's underpants!

I'd miss waking up covered in cats. Not cat hair, but cats.

I'd miss Skittles hopping up in my lap and then wriggling onto his back so I can hold him like a baby.

I miss how Charley would run up the driveway to greet me when she'd hear the gate opening

Yes, we would also miss the poop dash!

I would really miss the way Dax waits for me to come to bed at night - She starts hanging close to me as it gets late and then follows along to the bathroom, sitting patiently on the washing basket beside the sink waiting for me to finish washing my face etc.. She then waits for me to get settled with my pillow and curls up with a paw on my left shoulder

I would miss how roxy sneaks up on me and scares the crap out of me. Or how he gets all mad when I poke his belly.

I would miss my precious Sierra snuggling up as she honors me with her affection, kneading on me before turning in a circle to lie down for us to drift off to sleep together.

I would miss Serenity's loving purrs and the way she demands constant physical contact, kneading and loving on me, and cuddling up.

I would miss the duet my girls sing for me when I arrive home from work and when it's time to eat, headbutts, constant true, pure love.

This is a rather difficult question because it's practically impossible for me to imagine life without my babies.

Chloe, rubbing on my leg then falling onto her back, begging for her tummy to be petted. All four feet straight up in the air, purring like crazy.

Sara, curled up next to my pillow at night, sleeping with her head against mine and her paw resting on my cheek.

I cant imagine being without them, what would I do

Kneading, purring and the way Mittens lays on his back and airs his big fat tummy while sleeping

I no longer have SiSi, and to this day I miss her running to greet me when I came home from work. She never missed.

I would also miss little Saba poking her nose up in the window, every day when I pull the car in the driveway after work - now. And Sasha licking my nose at 6 am for his breakfast.

I really, really, really miss that and her.

Aww that makes me sad I'm very sorry for your loss. Do you plan on getting another baby?

Same here

I would miss sakura sticking to me like velcro, following me around everywhere i go and talking to me all the time

I cannot even go there without tears coming to my eyes.
I am grateful for evey moment that I share with Dexter & Sadie.
They are my reason to get up in the morning.

I can tell you what I miss about my beloved Snoopy, since he went to the Rainbow Bridge in February. I miss the "Love" eyes he used to give me, and the way he would look right into my very soul, and allow me to look into his soul. I miss how he would always trill in love talk, whenever I'd say his name, or pet him. I miss how, when he was totally relaxed he would meow to me without making a sound. I miss him laying side by side with me in bed, and sometimes hogging the bed to the point that I'd be hanging off the edge while he'd be spralled out across the queen sized bed. I miss how he always wanted to have physical contact with me. He always had to be touching me. I miss how, when he wanted attention, and I was pre-occupied with something else, he'd reach over with his paw and touch my arm, to remind me that he was there and that he was A LOT more important than that stupid computer. I know that is more than one thing, but to be honest, I miss EVERYTHING about Snoopy.

I would definately miss everything about my little Harley terror! I would definately miss the way that he greats me at the door everytime I come home with his meows and kisses, I would miss the way that he sleeps right next to me and wakes me up every morning at 5AM with his kisses on my nose (and playing with my hair ) I don't know how I've survived without him, he's my baby!

With Ophelia it would be her patting at my cheek to see if I am awake yet, with Patrick it would simply be his habit in his old age of sitting patiently by my leg until I realize he's there, which means feed me, and/or pick me up and snuggle me.

With Bookie it was her "oh do I have to??" cry when she was on the counter & being given a hand signal to get down (she was so bright), or being talked to, a real "wah" of a cry, she was always very responsive to me.

How can we pick one thing? I know for me, my cats are woven into the fabric of my heart.
