So sorry to hear about the passing of your uncle, seems like when it rainsā¦it pours. May they both be at peace along with my girl, Muffin.
I'm so sorry,I'm sitting here crying like a little baby,my deepest sympathy to you and to everyone here who shares the grief and sadness of loosing our beloved companions in life..... trulyMy poor little baby passed away at home, on my lap on April 12. I had posts about her the past few weeks. She had lost her appetite and stopped eating on her own. Had taken her to the vet and they did blood work, told me it looked like she was near stage 3 kidney failure. I couldnāt get her to eat the Hills a/d foodā¦I had to feed her by hand. They had given her fluids under the skin which seemed to help her bounce back for a few days then she got worse. I didnāt want her to go, I had her since she was 6 weeks old but I didnāt have the courage to have her put to sleep. I kept her comfortable and was giving her some food and water by hand for a few days til the day came when it was her time to leave me. At least she was in My arms when she passed. I think of her everyday and thru out the day for a few seconds I think itās time to feed her and I see her empty spot where she would sleep in the kitchen. Sheās buried in our back yard along with my other pets who have passed. I miss her but I also feel relieved itās overā¦I was so stressed trying to feed her etc. I have 11 more heartaches to face with my other cats but they are younger
(4-13 years old). They become part of the family and itās so hard when we have to let go..
Rip Little Muffin- she was so beautiful,no doubt she's even more beautiful now and will be waiting when it's your turn to go HOME.19 wonderful years with a loving,kind and loyal friend- you both were sooooo Blessed for nearly 2 decades together. God Bless you today and everydayThank you..hereās a better picture of her before she got sick. She was my baby girl, after having her with me for 19 years it seems so empty without her now.
It's true,1 box per cat plus 1 more- Honestly,at the number of cats and boxes you have it's purrrfrct because you clean them diligently- really.As you know with multi-cat household there's always a couple of boxes they use mostly and some hardly get used so it's basically having the " options" are what is best for cats.... Same goes for feeding stations,more places,more options greatly reduces & can even eliminate territorial issues- sounds like you have it all in order,so nice to know there are terrific,loving & responsible carers out there,warns my heartIāve heard you should have a litter box for each cat plus one extra thereās no way I can have 12 boxes in my house. I have 7. I have 5 cats that sleep upstairs, the rest stay downstairs so it takes me well over an hour each morning to clean litter boxes, feed them and give fresh waterā¦i donāt even want to figure out how much I spend on food, I feed them both wet and dry.
They certainly keep me busy but maybe itās a good thingā¦if Iām busy I have less time to think about my losses.
Thank you for your kind words. Doesnāt seem possible my little Muffin has been gone 6 weeks now. I still think of her when I go in the kitchen where she would sleep, there are moments I still think āitās time to feed herā or whenever I use olive oil because I would give her a little and she would lick it up. Made chicken salad today and thought of her because i would give her some plain chicken when I cooked it. I had mentioned in one of my replies, that for all the pets Iāve had i my entire life she was the one I had the longest, had her since she was about 6 weeks old and fell in love at first site. Her sister had passed5 years ago and I had the cutest little Tiger cat that passed 2 years ago, he was only 11 months old.It's true,1 box per cat plus 1 more- Honestly,at the number of cats and boxes you have it's purrrfrct because you clean them diligently- really.As you know with multi-cat household there's always a couple of boxes they use mostly and some hardly get used so it's basically having the " options" are what is best for cats....

Yep,staying busy sure helps to think less.....
Oh my,I understand completely- Muffin was that very special one that you just click with immediately and forever.....they're all special but then a Muffin comes along,isn't that right,hard to go one day without all those reminders all over the place and with everything we do....Thank you for your kind words.

itās heart breaking..I wish I could hold her again but we all have to take it day by dayā¦my oldest cat now is 14 years old, the others range from 3 years to 6 years old..
im sorry to hear about your loss of Cheech . In the picture, it looks like you have another cat in the background.
