Lucia&Bitty Thank you. You're two boys are handsome. I'm sorry for your loss as well. Yes, I'm sure Bitty is up there hanging out with Bitty under a tree of cheese, by a river flowing with milk. Bitty and Booty, sounds pretty good together. I know it's okay to cry, I have done quite a bit of it. I just hope to see her again someday.

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. Booty was a beautiful kitty. Losing your best friend is so very hard and devastating. Feeling her with you must be a real comfort though, I know the feeling well. I still feel my little guy here with me.
Try and stay positive and think about all the wonderful times you two shared. I've been making a book up on Bitty with lots of photos and stories all about him-it really helps.
Don't forget though crying isn't a bad thing-let it out it helps to heal you. and don't let anyone tell you otherwise you just lost your best friend your allowed to mourn.
My thoughts are with you and Booty-may she be at peace and be eating lots of fat mice now. I'm sure she has met up with Bitty.

vettechgirl Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I do miss her very much and it's hard, but it still feels like she's around. She was the best cat in the world. I pray that she never suffered and I ask that you keep her in y our prayers as well. Thank you. And yes, Booty was gorgeous. She knew it well too.

CatDad I appreciate your kind words and thank you for the compliment of her markings. She was definitely one of a kind.

kate elizabeth Thank you. I know the words weren't true, but they still hurt. I hate how some people will do those things, just because they have nothing better in their lives to be doing. I thank you for putting me in your thoughts. Please don't forget to put Booty there too.

Downtown Kitty I appreciate the compliments. If she were here, she would be purring from those nice words.

hvv Thank you very much. You are a wonderful person for being so kind.

Thank you everyone, and I'm sure Booty thanks you from up above as well. I don't know what I would do if it weren't for all your beautiful words of encouragement and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi poorpisces, your Booty looks like she was a sweet and loving girl. I'm so sorry she's gone now, I hope the good memories you have of her will comfort you when you're sad. You gave her 15 years of love, she was a very lucky kitty.

Your kitty was a beauty, we are sad for your loss.

There was not a word of truth in that comment - I genuinely think that your booty was beautiful!! She looks so soft and loving! I felt so sad to see her and know that she is not in your loving care anymore Please just ignore it!! It was cruel and childish and something to attract attention!

You will miss her forever but the pain will ease! There is an empty space inside you that will eventually be filled in the future but until then its just one of the ways that you will remember her forever.

You are in my thoughts x

Booty was a beauty! I like her calico markings on her head - very unique!

I know times are tough when you loose a member of your family - it will get better when the time is right like VetTechGirl said....don't fight it - you will know when it's time

Hang in there, PoorPices! This has to be so hard for you. But it will get better, I promise. Your heart feels empty right now. That's normal. A piece of you has been taken away. But not forever. I'm sure Booty will come back and visit you occasionally as you sleep; one day you'll feel a kitty rub against your leg and no one is there, or hear purring in your ear when there's no kitties around.

In time the pain will ease. It may never completely go away. But how can it? You've lost a best friend. Booty was more than just a pet, she was your friend, a family member- a pride sister. But one day you will find yourself whistling at work, or laughing with your friends again. You'll stop and think, "Oh no! I should be mourning her death!" Don't worry. She would want you to move on and be happy. You can go on with life but never forget her. She'll always be with you. One day, she will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge. Booty will run into your arms and rub into your neck. You'll feel the warmth of her body meld with yours and you will be one and whole again.

But until that day, she will live on always in you. And by the way, I think Booty is a very beautiful lady. Very dignified.

Also, thank you TommyGirl for your lovely words. I also forgot to post that some animal tried to dig up her body the other day and I saw the blanket that I had wrapped her in. It devastated me. I had to add another 50 pound rock and place it deeper. I'm just glad I didn't have to see her body, and that they didn't get to her.

Cats_Dolls Thank you so much for your understanding. I appreciate your kindness and sympathy. You are a genuine and caring person. Thank you, thank you.

Staffordsmom I do not care for your harshness. You are entitled to your opinion, but not against free will. However, maybe if your cat had died the same way and someone had wrote what you had, you'd think differently. I live in the utmost rural community and sometimes there's the redneck trash that drink and drive, or choose to not pay attention. No one else around my house would speed and they all know each and every one of my cats. You wouldn't know anything unless you were there.

kate elizabeth — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:23:41 GMT

poorpisces im soo soo so sorry for your loss! I really am! Its so hard to lose such a great personality around the house! You were able to give her a great life and she would be thankful for that! We all are. Thankyou for giving another kitty the best life you could.

Its terrible that you couldnt be there to see her one last time but she would never forget you just as you wont forget her.

Staffordmom i think that is a bit over the top. Considering the personality of the kitty there is no way you can stop them from doing what THEY want... after all thats what cats do!

you also have your new baby to look out for now and to enjoy.

Love and thoughts x

I'm really sorry for your loss.

And your died living the way it wanted to live, outside where it was comfortable and happy.

poorpisces — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:21:11 GMT

Thank you all. She was buried with love and respect, right among the flowers in our garden. I look around for her every now and then, but I know she's gone. I miss her so much.

RE: 15 years ended

cats_dolls — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:10:39 GMT

StaffordMom - I think you're being maybe just a little harsh here. PoorPisces needs our compassion and understanding right now - how absolutely painful to come home to the tragic death of a beloved cat!

We've participated in several threads debating the pros and cons of allowing cats outside unsupervised and haven't really resolved the issue - probably because there's no one-size-fits-all solution. In some areas, traffic isn't as much of a problem, and a cat who's been accustomed to the outdoors isn't always happy as an indoor-only kitty. Sometimes one has to consider the cat's happiness as well, and I believe PoorPisces has tried her best to keep her cats happy and healthy.

PoorPisces, I'm so sorry that this happened. I know you're hurting terribly and I pray for God's peace for you as you deal with this.

staffordmom — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:34:33 GMT

I'm sorry to hear of the tragic ending of this sweet cat....but what did you expect? You said she ALWAYS laid in the road and she was too old & overweight to get up and move fast enough to get out of the way of cars. I'm sorry, but if you loved her you would not have let this happen to her.

Please ignore the emoticon in my previous post.

Beautiful kitty, thanks for posting the pictures.

and please remember that

they are gone from our sight... but never our memory,

gone from our hearing... but never our hearts,

gone from our touch... but their presence is felt,

and the love that they gave us never departs.

RE: 15 years ended

poorpisces — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:15:13 GMT

Thank you all for your kind words. It is very hard and tomorrow when I head back home, I know that I will experience more grief all over again and will most likely go to greet her too. It makes me cry just trying to write this and I'm such a sensitive person that it makes it 5 times harder to cope. I wish I could have seen her one last time. I truly hope that she endured no suffering and that the passing was instant. She didn't deserve it. She was the ultimate, most unique, and loving cat I've ever known.

RE: 15 years ended

cats_dolls — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:33:46 GMT

Reno, I'm sorry to hear about Lady Cat too. I know how much you care for all your kitties, so no, I'm not surprised that you missed the quietest cat.

Her last year with you was as good a life as a cat can have. Now she's part of StarClan, watching over you.

RE: 15 years ended

renosteinke — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:51:21 GMT

Oddly enough, I also lost a 15 yr. old cat the other day. I had to put "Lady Cat" down due to kidney failure.

Mind you, I had only been caring for "Cat" since last summer. She tended to stay at the head of my bed, rarely venturing into the rest of the house.

Yet, even today .... whan I got home from work, I greeted the other cats - then went into the bedroom to greet her. Oops.

My little tomcat was the first to noticer her missing; he's still a bit confused.

I live in a VERY small place. With four cats, plus the odd feral staying in, you wouldn't think I'd miss the quietest one. Yet, the house seems so empty ....

That's what 'grief' is all about.

I'm really sorry. Just think that she had a great life living with you and most people are careless. We're here for you.

MiniBeast — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:33:10 GMT

I am so sorry. Booty had a great life while in your hands no doubt about that. It is really sad that you are away right now and lots of people are jerks you can't change that. Just remember that you gave Booty the best live she could have.

RE: 15 years ended

cats_dolls — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:25:46 GMT

I am so terribly awfully sorry! I know you loved her and I'm so sorry you didn't get back from Kentucky before this happened.

She had a great life - she had you! Try to take comfort in knowing that you took good care of her and she knew she was loved.

I'm sorry.

My 15 year old cat, Booty, died on Monday. She was ran over right in front of our driveway. We let her out at 8am and she was ran over by 10am, when we found her. It was so horrible, because she ALWAYS laid out in the road. There were times when vehicles would stop and we'd have to pick her up out of the road. She was very heavily overweight and on top of being old, she had trouble getting up fast enough. But the most horrible thing about it was that the person that ran her over NEVER stopped to let us know. What a**holes. It makes me cry everytime I look at her photos. I was hoping to see her when I got back from my trip to Kentucky, but now I never will. She had superior intelligence, loved only the freshest water, was the matriarch of all the cats, and was so lovable it was amazing. :'( Rest in peace Booty, we love you so much.
