@leb397, thank you so much, Lousia! I know, I can’t believe that happened. It was so shocking and sudden, even though I knew that could happen at any time – that with congestive heart failure her condition could abruptly worsen – I felt hopeful that I’d have a little longer with her. She was my BFF, that’s so true. Best Feline Forever. She still is. Thank you, I think she was somewhere between the little wolf and the little raccoon. 😻😂 I loved her a lot and really miss her sweet cuddles and pets – that she loved so much, too. 😿 She would literally run if she thought I was going toward our “cuddle spots” and often wait there for me. But I’m also glad her pain is over now and that she didn’t get to the extreme she was when I got to the emergency vet when I was home alone with her. I’m still very much in the grieving stage, but soon I hope I can focus more on the sweet memories I got to have with her. Thank you again! 😻🧡
@grannieannie, thank you so much, Annie! I write this with tears in my eyes, still, because I so appreciate your kind words and the sweet memories I had with her for a short time. 🧡 But everyone who knew her and saw us together could tell she and I had a special connection. And I feel like all the pictures I have capture that. I will cherish that a lot. She also helped me grow as a person because I’m not good at dealing with medical things whatsoever and I went through some of the hardest things ever with her, and learned that I can do those things. Because I was there with her until the moment she died and even after she died, I held and pet her. And now she’s in heaven eating tortilla chips with my other kitty who is eating Cheetos and moths, flying around. 😻
@johanna2509, thank you so much, my friend! It is good to hear from you and that means so much. 🧡 I also still have tears in my eyes because the heartache is so real. Anyone who has had a special connection with an animal knows how devastating their loss is. And I won’t go into detail, but her passing was extremely difficult, but I know she couldn’t feel anything because of the meds. But I am so glad I got to hold her and say goodbye. And yes, still have all the wonderful memories, pictures, videos, her toys, and towels (because she loved to sleep on towels) and I got a little ceramic paw print in lieu of ashes or anything. I hope it’s okay that I share all that, but that’s the reality of it and why the grief and pain is so real. But I’m hoping I’ll soon be able to work through that and focus on the sweet memories I have gotten to have with her. That’s why I’m so glad I have a bunch of videos and pictures of her being adorable and sweet to help me remember that more. Thank you for the lovely comment, it really means a lot! I hope you’re doing well, Johanna. 😻
@janaq1, thank you so much, Jana! It means so much that you say that. I can’t remember if I said, but my family has said that if I had not taken her she might’ve been alone outside when all this happened (because she was an outdoor kitty before I took her). So, I am grateful that I could be there with her and give her as much love as I could in the short time I had her. Thank you, your words mean a lot to me right now. 😻
I thought I would share this. I took this video only a couple of days before she went to heaven. I took it on my phone, please excuse the poor video quality.
Thank you all again for your very kind, encouraging comments, they help so much and mean so much. 😻🧡
