This is Buddy, my first Cat. He was seventeen. I lost him ten years ago.

Because we tend to adopt them into our hearts as if our own children and they forgive and accept us as is so readily. That takes up pretty serious space in the emotion centers. So sorry for your lose.

We grieve deeper for those we love deepest ...we Atheists have no solace in alleged heavens ....Cenizo will always come to mind when you see whiskers or hear a meow or see 6 thumbs prancing your way ....you are a caring nurturing mammal like Cenizo....don't hold back your tears.... 14 years was a good run ....fight cancer with organic food pure water and clean air....keep his toys and special places ready for another furball of love when you ate ready to rescue a feline who needs a future

I am so sorry for your lost!

My one baby was killed by stray dogs, Two years ago last month, she was a true companion and friend!!

He was a most handsome boy!

Your memories and photographs are so beautiful!

My sincere condolences!

They love us unconditionally, Yeah that kind of love is really hard to find anywhere else. Hugs

When you buy a cat or dog you know their life expectancy is less than ours. You're going into the relationship knowing that. No it still hurts, I've been there a few times, but you knew it was going to happen.

An alternative is to buy a turtle.

So sorry for your loss. It so hard to lose our little fur babies who have been there with love for us everyday.

They are the pure souls, the wonderful animals that deign to suffer our flawed existence.

Very hard to deal with

So sorry for your loss. I miss my cat Bootsie who I had to leave because someone made her an outside cat against my pleas. I couldn't move her to an apartment after that. Hopefully I will be living elsewhere someday where I can have cats, dogs and horses. Maybe not all 3.

They are more loyal and devoted to you than most any human. For a meal and some scratching behind the ear they will never leave you and provide you with hours of quality lap time and laughter.
Sorry for your loss. If you don’t have others, I recommend finding a new kitty to love and be loved by. You can never replace the one you lost, but you can provide a chance for a great life to a kitten who needs your love!

I'm so sorry. It seems that the only place we truly get unconditional love is from our pets and that's such a big thing to lose. I've shared that grief. ..lots of hugs..

Because pets are AMAZING. They’re the best of friends and love us unconditionally. I’m so sad for you. I know how hard it is to lose an animal we love so much.
