Thank you, its nice to know I have support xx
We all cope with loss in different ways, No one is to say what is the right or wrong way to grieve. I would say go get a cat, you will still grieve for Piggie, I am still grieving for my cat Enzo (it's nearly 4 weeks since he fell asleep in my arms), I still cry but I have a new cat now, I couldnt face comming home to an empty house. I got him from Battersea a week after Enzo passed away. He's called "Jean-Clawed" and he's is lovely, he will NEVER replace Enzo but like Enzo, Jean-Clawed is unique in his own way.

We lost our cat Dylan this morning
He'd had a heart condition diagnosed when he was about 18 months old, but had been stable since then. Last week he went off his food, and the vets did an ultrasound scan to find that his heart had seriously deteriorated Last night, after he'd spent a day mooching around the garden, visiting the neighbours, and sleeping in the sun, I noticed he was limping and his foot was cold (the sign of a blood clot) The vets put him on heparin and gave him painkillers, but sadly he slipped away peacefully in his sleep this morning RIP Dylan cat - already you're desperately missed http://www.flickr.com/photos/56971275@N07/7014521637/ |

i just found out today that my lovely little cat marigold was killed by a car, she had been missing for around 6 days, we put up posters, talked to neighbours and looked everywhere, then today i got the phone call from the person who found the cat. i am devastated, i don't know what to do with myself, she is totally irreplacable, she was so intelligent and had such a wonderfully unique personality, i have never had a cat like her before.

Oh how sad, Banana Rama - what a gorgeous cat
I think (hope) knowing what happened is better than worrying about her missing, but it's still very sad, all the same |

My rescue staffy got put to sleep, earlier today. I had him for 9 years. He'd lost weight the last few weeks, but then seemed to be healthy. The vets did tests (blood/urine), couldn't find anything, and said how healthy he was a dog his age, despite the fact he was down to half his weight.
It was thought perhaps he'd swallowed a foreign object. When he went in for surgery today, the surgeons found masses of tumours (undetected in their tests) They could have cut out most of his intestines, and then it would have been a case of touch and go, and being in a lot of pain, and drugs. The poor animal must have had them a long time. He's gone, and its hard. I'm never getting another animal. I miss him so much. He was such a sweet little thing. Thanks to whoever started this thread. A good way to remember our loved ones. RIP Harry xxxxx |

One year ago today since my darling Tabitha was put to sleep.
I still think of her every single day and she'll always be the most special cat to me. I really miss her. I agree that it's good to have somewhere to mark deaths and anniversaries. |

I lost my cat 2.5 years ago. I got her from a rescue place and she was with me for 19 years. She was the most wonderful amazing cat. Thank god she was taken from me quickly (blood infection) and was spared the pain of a lengthy illness.
I thought I would never get another cat after she died but after a couple of weeks feeling so unhappy, I knew my house needed another cat and I was ready for it. I went to a rescue place and came back with two! 2.5 years later they are part of the family and I wouldn't be without them.Sometimes getting another pet to focus on can help the grieving process, it worked for me. |

When does it stop hurting. My Billy died nearly 4 months ago & I'm still crying most days. |

Sorry to hear of your losses. I think of my little dog every day. Have shed a lot of tears for him. Things got better when I had a very vivid dream (not the first of him since he was pts).
In this dream, both dogs (I've ever owned) were with me at their prime, and happy. They ran together whilst we were walking down a country lane familiar to both of them, until they disappeared from view, playing happily. I know they are at peace now, so is easier, although miss them dreadfully still. Keep looking for Harry. |

Do you know, it does get easier, but I'm usually the first one home. That's when it really hits me that the boys aren't there anymore...miss them so much.

We said our final goodbye to Logan this morning, a lovely Golden Retriever who managed to reach the age of 16 last week, before a combination of failing eyesight and chronic mobility problems meant that we had to let him go. We had given him our full love and attention every hour of every day, helping him to get around, making sure that he had a bowl of water brought to him, and making our life revolve around his needs. But we knew that he was slipping away after the last couple of days.
He will be missed, as he joins Bramble, Willow and Moss at Rainbow Bridge. Goodbye Logan, you were a lovely, laid-back character. We will never forget you. |

A year ago today our Minou dropped dead in front of us..she was a bad tempered moggie but we loved her.
Losing our two cats a few days apart was a terrible thing for us. And they are both missed every day. |

but I have a new cat now, I couldnt face comming home to an empty house. I got him from Battersea a week after Enzo passed away. He's called "Jean-Clawed" and he's is lovely, he will NEVER replace Enzo but like Enzo, Jean-Clawed is unique in his own way.


2.5 years later they are part of the family and I wouldn't be without them.
