I feel so sad and empty. The sweetest kitty I've ever had the pleasure to know passed today. She gave me 15 wonderful years of pure pleasure and I am so grateful for that, but nonetheless I am so empty at her passing. Every night when I went to bed she would put her head on my arm, by my head, and spoon me until she sensed I was falling asleep and then lay by my feet until I woke. She ran and greeted me when I came home and meowed at the end of every sentence, replying to the stories about how my day had been. If I was leaving a room, where she thought I should stay, she would wrap her little arms around my leg, always mercifully withholding her very sharp claws from my flesh.(of course never declawed ,with multiple claw sharpening post and pads) Every movie I watched she would sit in my lap and purr as I brushed her.Occasionally she would display her ample affection by licking my leg, or forehead. My favorite was the little head bump on my leg or arm followed by a look of "HEY, I'm cute, get to loving me". She loved having a sheet put over her and a game of peek or boo.
My regular vet, and nobody else would return any calls, as it was a three day weekend. And the idea of taking my so very shy cat to the emergency vet, and her feelings of overwhelming fear the last hour of her existence, was more than I could take. I got lucky and found a vet here in North Dallas that took time out of her holiday and made one of the most horrible days of my life a lot easier by coming to my home and helping my baby go easy.
I can't believe my baby is gone.

I am so sorry for your loss. She was a gorgeous kitty. I'm sure she too is so happy to have had a human that loved her so much. I'll bet she was one of the luckiest cats around! I can just picture her now frollicing through green meadows, chasing butterflies and resting in giant cat condo trees in Heaven's Meadow, waiting patiently to greet you at the Rainbow Bridge when it's your time to cross. You will see her again, I promise!

It sounds like you also were blessed by a very special little one. I can so relate to you. My precious little one crossed over in my arms at the Animal Medical Center in N.Y.C. on 11/12/08 , after battling liver disease, which led to heart disease, and ultimately kidney disease, and I received her ashes for my birthday on 11/21/08. She was pure love and pure joy. She would play with anything-even air> She was our Energizer Bunny. The sadness and emptiness doesn't seem to get better. I'm here with her sister (littermates) ,knowing the loss she continues to feel-they truly loved one another> I have pictures of the 2 of them where their bodies form a heart. However, Shani, our Warrior Princess was with me from the minute I was up until I went to sleep, sleeping on me . She was my caretaker, doing many of the things that your Furball did. Now, Sunday, 9/13/09, it is 17 years that we adopted Shani and Rivke, from North Shore Animal League (Rivke will have her party) , but I have to be away from her a bit because it is also the unveiling of my father's monument, who also died last year. I do for Rivke because I adore her also, but I also do for her because of how Shani and Rivke loved one another, though all too often it doesn't sdeem possible to go on without Mommy's little girl- my precious one- my Shani.

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she was very grateful of the 15 years she spent with you, she probably couldn't have asked for a better owner.

Thank you all for all your kind words. I am grateful for having a place like this where I can vent with people who know what I am going through.
A short time after I wrote my post last night I spilled a full glass of red wine. (FYI-the stain does not come off white walls) My baby use to delight in spilling my drinks when I wasn't looking. She would of been terribly amused at the spill, thinking I was wanting to finally play the game she invented and would of course of ran to investigate, and subsequently track little red wine prints across the light carpet.

| Furball, Oh I am so deeply saddened by your loss. She sounded like the perfect cat in every way. I know just how you feel. It is gonna take time for you to heal. I am praying for you, also. I also believe there is a place for kitties in heaven where we meet again. In fact, I don't believe it would be a perfect heaven without them! At least she got to live a full lifespan with what sounds like the perfect kitty mommie. What a lucky one she was. I know she knows that, also. She lived a wonderful life with you, I am sure. You'll get understanding, here at the catboard. They are wonderful!

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. It is the most painful thing to go through. Your little girl had the best home a kitty could ask for, she had all the love and affection and fun by the sound of it any kitty could have! And you were truly blessed to have such a sweet, loving, affectionate little kitty who you have shared so many wonderful things together.
You have so many memories that one day you'll be able to look back and laugh and be happy, at the moment they will be hard to think of.
I'm glad you were able to get a vet to come to you so she could pass in her own loving environment that she knew.
My thoughts are with you through this tough time, I hope you are doing ok.
