Seeing my baby C.C. on CatoftheDay.com brought back so many memories. I am so proud to see my baby honored by being chosen as cat of the day and now I miss her even more.

I miss all of them that have left … both animal and human. I miss my mom, I miss my dad, I miss my grandmother, I miss my uncles who passed away earlier this year… and I miss my kitty brats and puppy brats — I miss C.C., I miss Tinker, I miss Rusty, I miss Pepper, I miss my “sweet kitty with the messed up year”, I miss Simon and his brother Ruso, I miss Muffet, and all my other babies who are gone.

One day there will be a huge reunion up in Heaven but this world feels so empty right now…

Sorry you are feeling sad, Owlwatcher. Do you have friends or family near you that you can get together with for some support? You have lots of support here but sometimes it’s good to receive support from someone who is physically present. Jump on over to the nightshift thread–lots of good folks on tonight. {{{hugs}}}

Hugs to you Owlwatcher. It is sad to think of all of those who are no longer around, and even though you know you will be reunited one day you still miss them now. I’ve been there. I don’t think I will ever recover from the loss of my Scarlett who was my kitty soul mate for 19 years. I can’t even think of her at the Rainbow Bridge because she would hate it there with the other cats and just want to be with me. I don’t know what it is like to lose parents, mine are alive but we are not close. All I can offer is my support and shoulder to lean on.

So sorry owlwatcher,

You made tears come to my eyes. I have an unending list, too. Not only do I miss my folks, and babies who have gone from my life, I feel guilty about the ones I have placed in homes, and don’t know what happened to them. I always think I shoudda/couldda kept them, but at the time I was breeding and showing and just couldn’t keep them all.

I really understand your sadness.

Hugs and purrs.

I’m sitting here in tears right now, too, Owlwatcher. Your CC reminds me of my Kirby, a beautiful calico, whom I lost 3 years ago. She was my constant companion for 17 years. And like you, Catwoman, I know she is very, very unhappy to be around anybody but me. She was a one woman cat. My two babies now are wonderful company, but Kirby and I had a long, long history. My heart goes out to you–and to anyone who has lost a dear, dear friend, human or animal.

Thank-you all so much for the support. I am feeling much better now. I guess I just had to get these feelings out of my system.

Sometimes when I realize that most of my family — at least the people in my family that I was closest to — has either passed away or just gone their own way, it really hits me hard. C.C. was the last of my mom’s two fur-babies that I inherited so it is kind of a double whammy to me – especially considering that she passed away so close to mother’s day.

Anyway, I’ll be okay now that I have gotten this out of my system. Thanks again to all of you for the caring words and support.

Well, I don’t know if anyone wants me back to post but it’s me,Marsha. I’ll keep most everything to myself since I inadvertently hurt others with my postings. But a friend betrayed me and my family,and my cats were put down. Weekends are very hard. I miss my cats. They were all rescues and as such I had a special relationship with them. They all looked to me,they were like my children. I could only take 2……….! I’m weeping now.

I’ll understand if you all want me to leave. I’ll go away.

Marsha,

I remember you. Please don’t go away. There have been posts here and there wondering how you are doing. Do you have a permanent place now? I know you are still sad over the loss of your babies, but you have 2, and you can only go up from here.

Thanks Bobbi, I am renting a house now,my parents are in an ALS closeby. My dad fell and broke his hip recently and he’s in rehab. He’s confused at times and when I take my mom to see him he’s practically crying “why can’t I come home yet? Did you guys leave me here?” I hate seeing him like that. I’m very close to my parents,it tears me up. I’m applying for jobs and people are calling me back,they seem interested but money is getting tight and I wish a job would come through.

I know I’ll be OK once I start working and my dad is doing better,it’s just really hard right now but it seems a lot of people are struggling.

I’m sorry you’re sad Owlwatcher,I,too am waiting for that great reunion. In the meantime I’m taking it day by day. We’ll see them all again.

Welcome back, Marsha. Your friends at TDK have been worried about you and wondering what’s been happening. Welcome back, and hopefully you’ll stay awhile and let everyone know what’s going on.

Thanks so much also FondaHonda,you guys have no idea how much this means to me. I’ve been lurking and occasionally posting as “Shakira” but I felt like I was outside looking in at the family that I’ve come to treasure. I tried to stop coming here but I kept coming back to find out how my friends are doing.

Thanks again.

Welcome back home Marsha…I’m sorry about your dad & hope he fully recovers from his fall. If you’ve been lurking,you can see that it’s okay to feel sad from time to time. We’ve all been there & needed that extra shoulder to cry on or ear to listen to us. Your more than welcomed back by me. 🙂

Owlwatcher – I’m glad you were able to get some comfort here. I’m so sorry about your dad – sometimes we have to make such tough decisions. I hope he recovers and is back with you mom soon! {{HUGS}}
