MyPrecious Is Gone

[Atrocities]

Thank you all for the kind words of support. It is very kind of you all and I do appreciate it. Believe it or not, but sharing this news and reading your Posts has helped me cope with her parting.

It really is uncanny how such a small animal can become so important to ones emotions. I honestly believe you never know how important something or someone is until it or they are gone.

You also have my condolences. It is amazing how quickly we can grow attached to our pets. My wife got me a dog for our anniversary, and I never really realized how much I love him until we came home and found the front door wide open and our dog gone. Of course, knowing his personality, I was assuming we had been robbed and he had tagged along with the thieves. The only damage he'd do if someone broke in is causing them to trip when they turned around.

I honestly believe you never know how important something or someone is until it or they are gone.

Unfortunately, this is usually true. It is worthwhile to occasionally stop and spend some time thinking through what is important to us.

As a LONG-TIME cat lover (and a guy bad at Clinton imitations), "I feel your paiin".

(an attempt at levity...sorry)

Don't know if I've told my story, or how many times, but I had to do the same with my Siamese cat, "Rat". Siamese cats have a tendancy to become a one-person cat and I belonged to him. I was crying so badly when I took him for his "final" visit to the vet that they told me to go around back (because of the people in the waiting room). He looked at me as they put the needle in his paw and his eyes "drifted away". I'll NEVER forget it. And it took me about 5 years before I'd get another cat because I never wanted to go through that again.

My mother always told me that guys who loved cats are special. And, if that's true, it stands to reason a guy would shed a tear (or just out-and-out cry) at the loss of one. I'll predict this, though (based on my own experience), this won't be the Last time you cry over "momma". You'll most likely be surprised some day and remember her and get all "blurry" again.

You have my sympathies .

Not where I live. Maybe just your small part of California.

When was the Last time you tried. We were surprised at how well the "spay your pet" mandate has worked. Check your paper now and see. Even the ungliest horrible mixed mutt is pulling $150 and up now. And services like SPCA and the Pound are also.

You realize that you live over 400 miles away from me, right? What happens in your area is not at all akin to what happens in mine...

Hey guys, a horrible thing happend to me Last night, I my cat, momma, of eleven years, became very ill, and today I had to have her put to sleep. Needless to say I am rather sad at the moment and just a bit put out with God.

I know things happen and everything dies sooner or later, but this just really bits. I have been expecting it for sometime, but I honest to God didn't expect it so soon.

I just had to post something to help get this hurt off of my chest. Somehowe talking about it does help, a bit.

Thanks for reading, now you should go love on your pets, you never know when it will be the Last time.

I had her for so long and I never gave her a name. I am really trying not to cry right now, but I am loosing the battle steadly. God I miss her.

Sorry, buddy.

Thank you all again. I am still having a hard time believing that she is really gone. It caught up to me today while I was at my mothers. She originally was my Step Fathers cat, but she adopted me about a year after they got her when I stayed on their property while they lived in CA. She was knocked up at the time, and it was mid winter. She was hanging out with me in my Room, as it was the only room in the house that had heat at that time, long story, and I could tell she was about to pop. So I emptied and old box out and put a pear of old Levi’s in it for her. I then picked her up, was promptly hissed at, and set her in the box. She then looked up at me and I could tell that she was truly thankful. That was the beginning of a very long friendship. I had three new kittens in the morning.

I have added a new wish to my somewhat small list of things that I would wish for if I had the power to see them come to pass. Sorry, to details have to be kept confidential, so say the myth, but I think you all know what it might entail.

My heart felt condolences go out to any of you who have lost a pet. Thank you for posting and for saying such nice things.

Well, in the spirit (no pun intended) of levity, before you invoke any spells (smile), watch "Pet Cemetary" again .

[Atrocities]

LOL, you cheered me up. That was a good one. Thank you for making me laugh Slynky. Intimidator did as well in one of his IM's.

My nephews just broke my old Kenner A-Wing fighter from their old 80's Star Wars toys line. I am hurt again.
