I am so glad I found this site. I have cried and cried over the loss of my best friend---Sissy Cat.
I had her for 2 years and 5 days. Her mother was a stray and she had a litter of 3 kittens all girls. Well I had to keep all 4 of them. All were fixed. So have had her family a while. But this one became my really good friend. How long does it take for the pain to go away. Right now it doesn't seem like it ever will. It has only been a few days. (June 5, 2008)
It doesn't help that I partially blame myself for her death. I usually let all the cats outside for a bit at 6 a.m. and let them back in before going to work. This perticular morning my husband herd a cat meowing and thought I had left one outside. I got up to look and it was a stray at my window. It was 4 a.m. and of course they thought it was time to go outside. I let them out early and they were outside for a longer time. I went out to find my precious Sissy had been hit by a car. She had made it back to my driveway and one of the other cats was setting by her side. I was devastated. All kinds of what ifs and whys and could haves and should haves still run through my head.
I miss her terribly!!!!!! She had slept in my bed everynight for almost two years. She would meow at the food bowl even if there was food in it. All she wanted was a few fresh peices droped on top and she would eat. She would only drink out of a cup on the bathroom sink. She would lick my hand when we went to bed at night to let me know she cared. She would be in my lap when it stormed because she was scared.
Maybe I get too attached to my pets. Sissy especially. I loved her so Much!!!!!! I have made pictures of her to put on my computer desk and home and at my work.
I catch myself talking to her at her grave side and sometimes when I look at her pictures. Am I crazy? Does anyone else do these things. I even went and brushed up her fur off the end of my bed and put it in a baggy. I planted purple mums on her grave today and placed a little cross with her name on it there.
I still have 4 cats, but we are not close like me and Sissy were. I am heart broken how do I heal. Will my crying ever stop? I just don't know how i will ever be right again. I can't eat very much cause my stomache stays in knots and I am not sleeping very well. Thank You for listening to my story of Sissy Cat..
SISSY I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious one. There's no substitute for the warmth of that little one, who loves you absolutely, next to you in bed.

I think most of us, no matter the cause of our babies death, tend to ask ourselves if could have or should have done something else, or something different. We
can't carry them around on a pillow 24/7, or watch them every minute. All we can so is take reasonable precautions for their safety, and pray that will be sufficient...I know that comes as very cold comfort.

Again, I'm so sorry. I've found a lot of solace in this forum. I hope we can be of some help to you.
Love to you and your remaining kitties,
Dayna

I am so sorry about the tragic loss of your dear Sissy Cat, your story brought tears to my eyes. My Ginger left me on the same day 6/5... only I had to put her to sleep because she was sick with kidney failure and continued to rapidly deteriorate. I know it will take a long time to heal, but writing about your pain and reading other people's stories definitely brings some comfort. I find great comfort in knowing that other people out there care about their furbabies like I do, and they miss the departed ones as much as I miss my Ginger. There's definitely nothing wrong with talking to her, I do it as well, and I'm sure other people in this site do it too. I can't bring myself to wash my sheets, she used to sleep on my bed every night and her fur is all over. I wear her collar as a bracelet... I see her in everything around the house... It's completely natural to miss someone who has brought you so much joy and who has given you so much love, especially when you have lost them in such an unexpected, tragic way. My heart goes out to you.

It is also natural to blame yourself, guilt is part of the grieving process. Don't let anyone rush you, you will heal in due time. We are all here for you and we all share your pain. Read my post "Rainbow Bridge." I hope it will bring you some comfort. XOXO.

I am so sorry for your loss, I just lost my dog of 10 years a few days ago, so I am right there with you - and you are not crazy! I got in my car today, and there was some of my dogs hair on the seat next to me, from her last trip to the vet, I started crying and touching the hairs, like she was there, at least in spirit anyway. ((hugs))

I am so sorry about Pumpkin and Oliver. I couldn't believe how much the face of your kitty looks like my Sissy Cat. The same color and the marking is almost identacle. I will get her picture up when my daughter has time to do it for me. Thank You for you comforting words.

Posted by: sissycat Jun 11 2008, 11:34 PM

In the morning will be one week since my Sissy Cat has gone to a better place. The empytiness and lonelyness and pain are still here. I look at her picture and now sometimes i can smile instead of crying everytime. The last 2 years with her were great. She was so spoiled. My husband said I gave her better treatment than him.
I keep finding little things she did that I remember. Today I remembered about us playing hide and seek and chase. I would hide behind the couch and she would run around or over the top to find me. I would jump up and she would run wanting me to chase her. Gosh I miss her so much. It is SO hard to know that all these things we can never do together again. I want this ache in my heart to go away. Will it ever. I know she is waiting for me. Thanks to misskittymc and her post about the RAINBOW BRIDGE. Everyone should read this post!!!


SISSY CAT I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO SO SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: LoveThem Jun 12 2008, 11:48 AM

It is a good thing for you to post happy stories about your baby. That is how we heal to the point the pain is not overwhelming anymore.
So keep telling stories here of anything you remember that makes you smile and then reread your stories when you come here so you can smile some more.

I am so very sorry for your loss but I am glad you still have your other babies. Little Guy was my last of 3 siblings and an empty home was too much to bear so I adopted a shelter cat from my SPCA in December. He is the distraction I needed to start living more normally each day.

The pain and sadness and missing them will always be a part of us. It is how we handle that ...that leads to healing. It has helped me to know that I feel I cannot change what happened to my special ones..when it is their time to leave...no one can stop that. But I remember one mom here saying: The pain of losing her will never ever be greater than the joy of knowing her. I totally agree and that is why I understand how important it is to healing...to make the effort to push out the sad thoughts and replace them each time with a good memory until over time, it is not an effort anymore...it becomes more automatic and easier to do.

Your loss is too recent not to feel as you do..this is when the pain is at its worst because everything is so fresh. Your other girls can help you if you let them...hold them and hug them and talk about Sissy with them. They love you so very much and know there has been a big change in the home but do not understand what has happened. They are waiting there with their unconditional love for you.

I know what you mean about Sissy being special...of my 3 I lost...Little Guy was my last and he was special to me...I think because as a kitten he got pneumonia and almost died and the vet and antibiotics and I watched over him and he lived the longest but I think feeling that I was part of saving him as a baby...made him more special to me because I nearly lost him at about 6 or 8 weeks old.
He had a twin brother, Keeper, who I lost at age 10...which was very devastating also. I am so thankful one of my 2 twins stayed with me 6 more years.

So, yes, the special ones do hurt terribly. I don't know if I could say they hurt more because I still remember the terrible pain and agony I went through losing his brother in 2002.

It is true you are not alone here being in pain. It is a pain that is never forgotten completely and continues to be shared by all here.
That is why so many understand exactly what you are going through...your thoughts and feelings...they are all so very familiar to the rest of us. We try to share what we find helps us heal and try to take away some of your pain by doing that.

It does all take time but you know you are not alone in grieving. Your stories and happy memories of Sissy remind us again of the good memories that can't be taken away from us ever. So while sharing will help you heal...your sharing keeps helping us heal too.

Hugs to you and Sissy's sisters

Dear Sissycat, I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. It is a tough thing to deal with, but you are where you need to be because everyone here cares and understands. We can't take away your pain but we can and will bear it with you. Everything you are feeling is normal. You care deeply about your 4 leggeds and because they are family, not simply pets you grieve their loss. In time you will heal. Because you have loved and still do love an animal (in your case 4) your soul is fully awake and that is a special gift.. I know your Sissycat would want you to continue you loving your 4 kitties. She will always be with you, in your heart, in your dreams and in your soul. You will see her in the eyes of every kitty you look at, she will be in the purr of every kitty you pet, and late at night, when you are fast asleep, her spirit will snuggle up close to you and you will both be at peace.


All My Best,

mark

What a beautiful picture of your baby. Look into her eyes and see the love that is so very evident there.

I love it when these babies do look directly into the camera.as Sissy did here.. because she is looking at you taking her picture.

Yes, the picture did work and posted very nicely so if you run across any more pictures of Sissy...we will love to look at them and never get tired of looking at pictures of these oh so very very special sweethearts.

Wonder what she was thinking here? Something that would make us smile, I am sure.

Thanks for posting this....it really helps others too...to see such pictures as they make us smile...and we can't have too many smiles happening.

Hugs and wishes for peace and healing for you....but it really all does take time to ease the sadness so eventually we are in control of it because when it is recent....it is in control of us and it truly is heartbreaking. That's why when we feel the sadness, it is important to remember a good moment with our baby...that's what they want us to remember...a memory that will make us smile even if it is only for a moment...and then more good memories create more smiling moments and these are the baby steps toward healing.

So keep posting thoughts, pictures, feelings...whatever feels good to do...is good for you to do.

Posted by: oliver's mama Jun 14 2008, 02:18 PM

She DOES look like my Oliver, not only her markings but the structure and shape of her face too. That picture is beautiful, she looks very thoughtful.

Posted by: sissycat Jun 14 2008, 11:05 PM

I am having a bad time right this moment. I am looking at her picture right now and it has hit me again. She is really gone. My tears are really big drops. Why do some days go by easy and others have to be so hard. This pain and emptiness hurts so bad right now. Why why why? Why my Sissy? I am missing you so much right now. I Love You so Much my Sissy.

Posted by: william69 Jun 15 2008, 04:08 AM

I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand what you are going through right now. It has been a month since I lost William who I had to have put to sleep on 12/05. One thing that is not helping me move on from this is that his brother Harry is really missing him and that is what I am trying to deal with as well as my own empty feelings of loss.

Your Sissy Cat was beautiful.... I love those pictures that your babys give you of them spread out like that. I have a few of William doing that and they are a reminder of one of his affectionate trates he had...... as well as lying on his back and using his front paws to rub his face into whenever we used to rub and tickle his tummy........ it was as if he was in bliss whenever we did that, and the deep loud purrs he'd do as well........ I don't think I will ever forget that about him. Coming here and reading the replies from all the other fur parents has been very comforting to my sister and I so keep coming back as it helps you feel that you are not alone. This is one of the things that I have found has helped me because I have had little support and understanding from anyone else other than the ppl here and my sister.

Your Sissy is very very lovely. I really do feel your raw feelings of sadness......... It is so unfair when one is taken so young.... sometimes I feel that God takes the best ones first and robs us of having them longer, but then I know that isn't true either. They make up for the short space of time they are with us because they give us as much love during that time to make up for the fact they will be going soon. They leave a huge paw print on our lives however long they are with us and the love they give you is so rewarding.... They never moan at you, they never give you a hard time they just love you and they take some of that love you have given them with them when they go, and I think that is why it's so hard when they do leave.

talking about your pain here helps. It has helped me. Williams ashes sit on the window where he used to love to sit in the sun. I talk to him every morning and kiss him goodnight every night.... I don't think you are going mad at all...... It's all part of the healing process which I cannot tell you how long it will take..... When one is as special as Sissy it can take a while.

Love to you all

Williams Mummy ***

The pictures got to me too...I couldn't even post Mack's until months after his death. And looking at your lovely girl's image...I smile, because she was so cute and so charming, but I shed a tear too for the loss of that babe so untimely.


Peace and comfort,

I am so sorry you lost your gorgeous sissy, and i completely understand all the feelings you are going through, all the Ifs and Buts. I have found myself suddenly thinking "oh god shes gone" and my stomach would lurch and i get this complete feeling of dread coming over me. I sit and talk to her at her grave, I apologize to her every day for what happened. I miss her so much, I have a toy cat that was about her size which I hold just when I am watching tv or something because I am so lonely without her-I know that must sound so stupid. But my husband is away and my other 2 cats aren't so cuddly. It is good to know that we aren't alone in this and others are feeling the same.

I am so sorry to hear about your pain and lost. I lost my Pepper about 7 years ago in a similar fashion. I left Candy and Pepper in the back yard because I didn't want them to get friendly on my newly washed carpets (oh how I regret that to this day), while I went to a company function at Knotts Berry Farm.

I had a very large yard with a sizeable sun desk and a huge Dog House we built for them. I thought it was paradize. But Pepper, being the ever adventure seeker always, always, always had sneak out of the yard somehow. You see, at that time, I didn't walk my dogs regularly due to the dangerous neighborhood I lived at the time, but also I didn't understand how important the walk is. So now I understand her wanderlust.

Well, that afternoon, I was set to come home from Knotts when some friends wanted to grab some dinner. I was worried about the dogs being out all day, but I still said sure. And we had dinner. We got home by nearly 9pm and I could only hear Candy Barking. Pepper, being the ever escape artist I'm sure was wondering the neighborhood. So I called for her. She never came. My heart started to beat heavy and instinctively checked my voicemail and sure enough, someone left a message that Pepper got hit by a car and was taken to a Vet.

I quickly called the vet and the voice said that Pepper already just expired.

I collapsed. I howled with grief.

I went to the Vet and brought her body home. It was still warm. "If I only I went home right away instead of going out, she still may be alive today", I thought. The guild was overwhelming.

The next day, we went to the home depot and built a coffin for her, put her blanky and her favorite toys with her, then buried her in the yard. I let Candy sniff her dead sister and watch the process. I wasn't sure what Candy was going through her mind, but she kept her distance for nearly two weeks. But I thought it was important to let her be involved in the process. I didn't want Candy to wander the house trying to look for her.

So here it is, a good 7 years later and I have yet to go back to Knotts Berry Farm. I still miss her very much, but find that the pain has subsided a little. So yes, it will get better, but at least for me, it took a very, long time.

All my best thoughts and prayers to you. I'm very sorry for your lost.

It's funny how grief works. I have been doing what I thought was pretty good the last several days. You just never know when it is gonna hit you. I was out by her grave tending to the rabbit and I looked over to the grass where she always lay hiding from me and thought oh my gosh she is never gonna run across the lawn to me again. She will never run to me again. I just stood there watching as if maybe she'd come running. I remembered how she looked running with her tail waving in the wind behind her. Sissy you were so very much loved!!!! Just thought I'd write cause you were on my mind.
Love You Sissy


You may not physically be there but in my mind I see you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm off most of this week and being home makes me think of you so much more. I keep looking at the adoption centers, but just seem to make a connection. Maybe somehow you can send someone to me that needs a great home with lots of love. Not to replace you of course. Just feel like something is missing.

Love you so much Sissy.

Posted by: sissycat Jul 31 2008, 11:51 PM

Thank You for asking. I am doing pretty good i think. Miss her terribly still. Today is the 8 week mark and I just can't believe I have made it this long without her. I still can't get over how much their faces look alike. Maybe they have found each other at the Rainbow Bridge.
Again Thanks.

Just saying hello to my precious Sissycat this evening. Day after tomorrow will be 2 months.
I hope you are watching after Lilly. She joined you guys Thursday night. I know you didn't much like dogs but she is just a pup.
Sissy I just miss you so much. Yesterday I looked at the spot where you used to lay. The fur still there. I imagined what is was like with you laying there and stroking your soft fur. Love you my Sissycat!!!!

Lilly is my sons pup. He had her about 3 weeks. Thursday night he took her out to the bathroom she ran barely into the road and a dually pickups back wheel just clipped her and spun her. Too much damage she couldn't be saved. He has taken it very well. He is lonely now I bet. He lives alone about a mile from me.

I am hurt. Today is the 2 month mark and my oldest daughter came over and I was on here posting to someone. She told me I am a crazy nut for getting on here and talking to people about our dead animals. That really hurt me alot. I set here in tears right now. My own daughter how can they be so cruel. Growing up around me she knows my love for animals and they are people to me. Sorry I think I was just needed someone to vent to. Thanks to anyone who is listening.

Sissy another day is almost gone. One day closer to our reuion!!!!!!!!

Oh, Sissy Cat:

You know you are safe here....you will not hear words like that here. We believe your love for Sissy and your words to her are just beautiful and we never tire of seeing your messages to her..simply saying...I love you I miss you.

We feel the same way about our special sweethearts who were taken from us. You know we share the same pain as you and the longing...the missing...it is all just as intense.

I just feel sorry for people who don't understand what has happened in our lives. They must have never felt the unconditional love of one of these babies. But because they feel so differently..I would avoid the subject when they are around...so as not to add to the hurt that is already so much a part of us.

Hugs to you and Sissy....you will always be together for she is part of you forever. I'm sorry you had such a painful moment today...in the midst of your "anniversary" pain.

We already know we are not in the majority in this world for if we were, there would be no homeless pets anymore ever. But we do know there are many of us and sometimes forums like this are the only way we can "touch" one another and say we understand because we feel just like you do...we are a family here, Sissy Cat, and you are a very important member to us.

Keep posting...you know we are always here listening....
(That's 2 hugs..one for you and one for Sissy (Angels do hug, don't they?))

Posted by: sissycat Aug 6 2008, 11:59 PM

Thanks LoveThem.

I don't think she meant to hurt me by saying that. You are right some people just don't understand and share the SAME kind of love for animals. She is 19 and we have had cats all her life. She now lives on her own and has 2 cats and 1 dog. She likes pets don't get me wrong. Just not in the same way I don't think.
I also do the candle ceremony every monday night that I am able and she thinks I am silly to do that. My 8 year old daughter likes to do the ceremony also.

Anyway thanks for your kind words. You can always make a person feel better.

We always need a hug. I know I do anyway.

Again Thanks and many hugs back to you!!!!!

Hello to my dear Sissycat. Remembering you today. (as I do everyday)
Both your sisters are here. Boogie asleep in my pile of clean laundry to fold. lol And Yu is asleep in her popsicle box. I just can't throw it away she loves to sleep there. Your spot is still at the end of my bed. Just not ready to move the things yet. Pesky rabbits ate one of your mums off your grave yesterday. Hopefully it will come back out. If not will plant something new in the spring.
Miss and love you Sissycat!!!

They hurt so much because we love them so much and we miss them so much...it all goes together.

This kind of anniversary represents a day that changed our lives forever in a devastating sad way. A day that has time in it ..without them. How can that NOT hurt so very much?

I can't count weeks when I have a loss..after the first couple of weeks...it is easier for me to dislike the month and until that month comes again...for me there is no other anniversary to make me grieve more. Missing my boy is part of my everyday life but to really remember that last day....I cannot avoid the month but I try to see the other months..as other months and have just the sadness that he was with me those months for over 16 years.

This hurt is when I remember that saying I find a lot of meaning in:

The pain of losing them will never ever be greater than the joy of knowing them. I would rather think of the joy then remember the pain that I cannot do anything about. At least the joy is of good happy healthy memories and I am so glad and grateful my boy was born in my backyard to a feral mom so many years ago. He was the last of 3 to lose and there is something about a home that is completely empty..................

I think it is beautiful you talk to your Sissy cat. She is an Angel and I am sure that these Angels are always listening.

Hugs
Judy

Hi Sissycat - I just lost my Roman, and time seems to be crawling by. I feel your pain, there seems to be no end to it, and that's the hardest thing about losing a fur baby, we have to go on. We don't want to, but we do.....

Posted by: sissycat Aug 27 2008, 09:32 AM

Morning Sissycat,

Here it is another week has passed. I can't believe it. Tomorrow is 12 weeks. I never thought I could make it this long with out you. It has been hard, but we are managing. One day at a time.
You would have had so much fun this summer with your sisters. The squirells come down and tease them then run back up the tree. It is funny to watch lol. Sure wish your were physically here with them to play. I do know you are here in spirit.

I love You Sissycat. Oh by the way there are lots of newbies coming to the Rainbow Bridge just as you did. Help show them the way.

Miss You and Love Ya Sissy

Hi there. Sissycat wanted to come by and shower you with Oodles and Boodles of Love! She also picked out a song and the video she wanted you to see. She loves it so much because of all the kitties and other animals in it even though they're cartoons but she loves cartoons! Still, this particular song is her message to you. Awww! What a sweet fur baby!!! Here she is showing you love and please be sure to turn up your volume to hear the video she wants you to have.

Here, I'll write this part and you sign it. Okay, Sissycat? ... "To My Loving Mommy"

I just had to write this morning. Sissycat's sister Boogie came to me while I was in the recliner last night and climbed up and laid with me on my chest. It was so wonderful. Boogie has never been a lap cat and she didn't like to be held but for a few minutes. (Sissycat was always the lap cat) I missed Sissy doing that so much, it felt really good again. This is probably silly to some people but it made me happy.

Thanks Sissycat I bet you sent her to me!!!

Love and Miss You Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: LoveThem Sep 7 2008, 04:04 PM

You said:

Thanks Sissycat I bet you sent her to me!!!


I'll bet Sissycat did just that! Her spirit is a part of you. That's why she can never leave you. Boogie's act was Sissycat's way of letting you know she is watching over you. And, she is listening to every word you say or write to her.

Hugs
Judy

Posted by: sissycat Sep 9 2008, 11:49 PM

Just wanted to say Boogie came to me again the next night and climbed in my lap. Nothing since then. Sissy I hope you are sending her. Please continue if you are. I miss you in my lap so much and Boogie is such a comfort.

Love ya Sissycat!!

Been 14 weeks today. Out of the blue yesterday I came home from work and started to call for her. (Like I used to do) Felt silly cause I knew she isn't here. Maybe I had been thinking of her. Maybe she was thinking of me. It was just kinda wierd.

Hugs to my Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: AngelCareOne Sep 11 2008, 11:37 PM

Sweetie, I know just what you're talking about. In four days it will have been a year since my baby Alex did not come home. To this day, I keep calling my Buddy dog and my Styx kitty either "Alex" or even "Cocoa." And Cocoa crossed over to The Rainbow Bridge over 12 years ago. So odd indeed. Even though no human is around to hear me call my doggie and kitty the wrong name at times, I feel really silly, too.

I still talk out loud to Alex when I'm at home with my fur kids. I know he's right here with me, can hear me. Yeppers it sure is, Hon. And that's a very lovely, loving, wonderful thing as well as comforting to both myself and Alex.
Many Blessings and Angels Wing to You and Your Fur Baby SissyCat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dottie xoxoxox

You just always know how to make a person feel better. At least I know I'm not the only person that feels silly for calling out the wrong name or talking to them.

Hugs to You and Alex, Cocoa, Buddy, and Styx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: LoveThem Sep 12 2008, 06:11 PM

I do the same thing, Sissycat.

I have called my new boy, Lucky.....Little Guy more than one time. He looks like him and it seems natural at times but then I do correct myself (don't want to confuse the new boy).

After I lost Little Guy last September...I tried being in one room and calling his name like I used to do and he would always come find me. Then it got too sad because one part of my mind was telling me he was gone and would not answer.

So now I just talk to his pictures sometimes...that way I can look into his eyes and they are looking back at me. He doesn't have to answer. I'm sure he hears me just fine..just like
Sissycat hears you.

They never truly leave us for they do live in our hearts...a place they are very much alive,
healthy, and can never be taken away.

sissycat is a beauty! Isn't it amazing how unique each cat is, how each one is one-of-a-kind. ahhhh, I miss my cat(s). I just recovered from a pretty ugly crying jig. Must pull myself together and go out in search of food.

i really appreciate that you are so attuned to other people. I think perhaps that is the purpose of our grief. maybe? It makes us more sensitve and kind to others. Wish I could scoop everyone up in this site and hold them all.....

HI, Sissy Cat

I read about you getting a new kitten. Absolutely wonderful news. A little baby who needs a home and love and you need to hug another furbaby.....it really helps. They are their own personality but they all are furbabies and there is something uniquely special about hugging them. Your new one will need a name and I am looking forward also to pictures and stories all about the new one.
I will be checking New Beginnings for your..new beginning. I'll bet Sissy Cat had something to do with this happening.

Hugs

I didn't get him last weekend. Maybe this weekend. I need to be home to help all the other cats adjust to him. I still have 4 females. Yes, he does have a name Tucker--- but I call him Tooooker...lol
I am worried about bringing him in. How they will react to him scares me. Can cats pout? Can they get mad at us? Guess we will see. I go to my daughters house almost everyday and play with him. Don't know for sure how old he is. Guessing 4 to 6 months. Sissycat if you had anything to do with this Thanks!!!!!

Love you Sissycat and Miss you very much still!!!!!!!

Posted by: LoveThem Sep 30 2008, 01:09 PM

sissycat

Just watch them all, I guess. I have not introduced new ones in but I am sure many here have. Ken Albin has been around shelter cats and also knows about introductions..you might ask him in a PM or in his topic in New Beginnings. He always gives good advice.

I think being a boy introduced to girls might be easier than boys to boys (macho ego, maybe).

You know your girls. They might decide to mother him.

Keep us updated, please. Give Tucker a hug from us.

Judy

Posted by: sissycat Sep 30 2008, 03:48 PM

Yes, I will accept advice from anyone.

I have 4 fixed females ages 6, 4, 2 years old. I am wanting to bring into our family a male (not fixed yet, but soon will be) around 4 or 5 months old. I work during the week and my kids have lots of afterschool activities so my main time is late evening and weekends. I would like to bring him on Saturday morning so I have all weekend to work with them. Think I am just nervous as to how they will respond to him.

Thanks

Posted by: LoveThem Oct 4 2008, 12:20 PM

Sissy Cat

I am worried your kitten question hasn't been seen. Why don't you post your question in
Cybershoulder or New Beginnings (as anticipating a new kitten). I am sure you will get some
good advice if others realize you are asking a question that needs advice. I think sometimes people check there for new questions more than in this Section.

Ken has his new kittens in New Beginnings although he helped me in Cybershoulder with advice about adopting from a shelter. Please try your questions in one or both of those places as you should be getting that kitty soon.

Posted by: sissycat Oct 9 2008, 05:44 PM

Another week I have made it through. Today makes 4 1/2 months.

Love you so very much Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!

Also I didn't get the kitten I had spoken of. My daughter backed out on buying the house so now they are keeping him. Thats is ok tho. I still go play with him some. Guess It just isn't meant to be yet.

The first Halloween without her is almost here.

Posted by: LoveThem Oct 30 2008, 05:43 PM

Sissycat: Thanks for stopping by my Little Guy's topic. I was rereading above where you and also Mikki talked about calling our babies even though we know they will not stroll into the room like they used to.

Mikki asked if I thought they hear us. Yes, I believe they do and I also believe they understand if we also stop calling after a while....because the emptiness we feel when there is no answer...sometimes we just can't go on...calling.

But we can talk to them as often as we like. There is no response expected there. But if someday we happen to catch a flash of "something" out of the corner of our eye...just maybe...that was a way our special one was communicating back. I'd like to think so.

That's why I think it is so beautiful, Sissycat, how you show your baby so much love by keeping in touch often. We just know they are near and are listening.....cause they are special Angels now..and Angels are always nearby...watching and listening.....

Hugs, Sissycat

I hope you had a happy birthday. I know it's hard without your special friend Sissycat. And the up coming holidays too. They certainly are tough. I never thought about it much, but since you post, I'm thinking how hard it will be in the spring when Dave and I have our B-days and there won't be any funny cat cards to exchange, mostly from Arthur..Take care.. Ann. P.S. I hope Sissycat sends you an unexpected gift from heaven..a shooting star, maybe..

Posted by: sissycat Nov 18 2008, 06:15 PM

Ann,
I just wanted to say maybe Sissycat did send me something last night. I was standing in the kitchen and felt this breeze go right past my legs. Looked down and there was nothing there. I believe it was Sissycat just letting me know she is still with me. That makes the 2nd incident. (both happened in the kitchen also)

Hopefully there are many more to come!!!

Sissycat....

I'm here on our shared anniversary day. Only 7 weeks for me while you have been missing your Sissy Cat for 28 now.

Next Thursday will be a tough day for both of us. Thinking of you & Sassy Cat today........................

Ginger

Posted by: sissycat Dec 19 2008, 01:06 AM

Thank You Ginger!!

It is funny you said Sassy cat. That was her original name. Last night at my work's Christmas party someone gave me a keychain with a cat that said Sassy Kat. Maybe the keychain thing was some sort of sign? My daughter had gotten me one exactly like it after she was killed. It broke a couple moths ago and I carried it around in the console of my car. The co-worker that gave it to me last night had no knowledge of any of this. Coinsidence? A sign??


Love you Sissycat!!!

Posted by: Flossie's Mom Dec 19 2008, 09:02 AM

WOW! I never noticed my "Sassy" Cat typo so it has to be a sign as well as the keychain.............

Two things on the same day cannot be a coincidence. Must be a sign. Like the Christmas ornament that Flossie surely led me to the other day.

I'm sure next Thursday will be sad for both of us but fortunately we have other fur babies to help a little. My daughter lost her favorite cat 3 days before Flossie. She has a cat & dog left but Lady was one of those like Sissy Cat & Flossie that held a special place in her heart. Her vet said she had more personality than any cat he'd seen. She was the most trouble free cat but at the same time you knew it when she walked into the room. She just walked into the middle of people or animals like she owned the room but still was not a pushy cat.

Many sad houses on Christmas but I am going to try to remember all the good things about our special ones instead of feel sorry for myself. A friend just lost her husband and I am amazed how she is handling it. They both had tried to remain upbeat these last 10 months. I'll be thinking of her also on Thursday.

Hugs to you and Sassy Cat............

Posted by: sissycat Dec 20 2008, 12:33 AM

True there will be many of us here celebrating the first holiday without our special furbaby.

Good thing we can be here for each other.


I remember reading of your ornament. Yep they were signs for us!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Sissycat. I got dressed up all pretty and came over to visit you today but you weren't home. So, I lit up a cigar and waited on your door step for a while in case you had just gone to the store or something. See?




















































Oh well. I'll drop in on you for a visit again some other time. Take care. Okay?

Tons of Hugs and Lotsa Love to You and Your Fur Kid Sissycat!!!

Hugs to Sissycat and the one who keeps the beat, I remember reaching the ninth month of mourning my soulmate and it is still quite an emotional time, 9 months feels like so long ago yet your heart still feels like it's day one; not easy but trust that Sissycat is there for you, never left you, only in body but all the important stuff is still there for you .

I know what you mean.
I get on here several times a day, but sometimes I have no words either. I know I should post more. I should be helping other people here. Just sometimes I don't know what to say and other times I can write and write,

No Sissycat I did not forget you last Thursday. I remember it was 46 weeks. Had a big storm and have had internet problems for 4 days.
Wow less than 30 days and it will be your B-day!!!!

Miss you so much Sissycat everyday!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Flossie's Mom May 3 2009, 05:30 PM

I didn't forget either. Was upset as I wrote to Flossie since it was 6 months on our joint "angelversary" and intended to come back to post to you. Sorry that I never got back to do that.

I've been trying to "wean" myself and think positive thoughts as well as busy with life I guess. A friend recently lost her son at 37 of a massive heart attack so have been mentoring her via email with much support and kind words like I have received here. The support was so important to me and I am now trying to pay it forward. He was an animal lover, supporter & adopter. They had his dog's ashes buried with him and requested donations be given to the adoption center he worked with.

Thanks for remembering Flossie and me every Thursday. It is nice to know others remember and I appreciate it very much.

Hugs to Sissycat and you even though a few days late

Thinking of you tonight Sissycat. Wonder what you would be doing if you were here. So much would be different.

Esme wouldn't be in our lives either. Had to cut alot of Yu's fur off her belly last night cause she somehow got into orange paint. It was matted and I was afraid the paint could have been toxic. She is all good now and your other sister is still the same.
Ok Sissycat goodnight and we love and miss you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of you and Sissycat today.

Thanks for the hello on our thread........................

I seem to have a difficult time coming to the forum like I used to. Trying hard not to blubber too much and I seem to relapse a lot when I come here too often. So many loved pets and so many lonely people seem to bring it all back to the surface. I don't want to forget Flossie but I want to remember her in a happy way rather than such a sad way.

Hope you are doing well and I do think of you each Thursday.

Hugs..................... Ginger, Flossie and my two fur kids Jingles & WeeBee

Posted by: ann Aug 14 2009, 01:06 AM

Our angelversaries are only a few days apart. Sometimes I'd lose track of how long it's been since I last seen Arthur and all I had to do was to check your forum every Thurs for how many weeks have passed and think "gosh, has it been that long?" It never feels like so much time has passed since they are always in our minds.
I can relate to what Ginger had posted. I feel the same way. Sometimes I'll read all these sad stories and it takes me back too. Our hearts go out to everyone here.
Sissycat had a world of love on this earth, I'm so glad for you of the wonderful bond you shared.
Hugs...Ann

Dear Kim and Sissycat and your fur babies

I just read your thread about your darling Sissycat. What a beautiful baby she is, that adorable , sweet face. I love her and can see how you miss her so much.

Thankyou for posting on my thread about my dear darling Angel dogs Tasha and Noushka. I'm happy that you read our story and loved the photos and pictures. As you say the holiday times are so hard to bear when we can't share them with our Angel fur babies. I'm sure they are here with us though, they give us those special signs to let us know that they are never far way and watching over us.

Thinking of you.

Hugs
Jan and my Angels x

Posted by: madi Jan 3 2010, 09:30 PM

I share your pain sissycat, we lost our darling babies in the same way at about the same time. I lost the love of my life on the 21st May and you lost yours on the 10th June. My Ulriich made it to three, poor sissycat only two, both too young to die. Ulriich was hit at 5am and died instantly. When my husband first saw him he was saying over and over again, please be alive, please be alive, but he was gone. Like sissycat he was not usually out at that time and that is what is so hard to deal with, one mistake and it's a fatal one. So damned unfair. Zelda, our other cat just like yours was laying next to him after he was brought back into our yard. I am so glad I have Zelda, I love her to bits, but I would give just about anything to have Ulriich back, I adored him. Well, I just hope this new year brings more joy than heartache for all of us here, we need a good year don't you think? Hugs to you xx

Posted by: sissycat Jan 3 2010, 10:25 PM

Thank you Madi!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when you think you are doing something safer you not. I had thought letting her out for just a bit at that time of morning there should be pretty much no traffic on or street. All it takes is just that one.

Sorry of your loss too!!!

Wow...sissycat and Madi...so much similiarities in your tragedies...I'm so sorry to you both...it's just not fair, such young kitties.

Hugs to you both and your fur kittens...who I'm sure are playing together right now.

Love and miss you Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How's things? still think about you and sissycat, so sorry for how you lost her. My Ulriich didn't like the cold either, could never keep him in when the weather was fine, but when it was raining or bitterly cold, he loved to curl up on his favourite chair or by the fire. xx

Hello to my Sissycat. Has been some time since i have been here. My time has been very busy here. Have taken care of my neighbors kittens when they were very ill and could not nurse. That was full time job. All made it but 1 and i'm sure you are watching over him. I never forget about you tho!!!


Love and miss you Sissycat!!!!!

Sissycat it has been a really long time since I have posted to you. Doesn't mean i love you any less. The 3 year mark is coming up soon. (in June) How has the time gone so fast. Still have you 2 sisters and momma-plus a few others.

Love you Sissycat!!!!

And hello to all my friends here!!

Hi, sissycat, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing and for sharing with us your heartfelt letter to your beloved sissycat. The "angel-versaries" can be a challenge sometimes because they commemorate the time when our beloved companions join the angels. Adjusting our lives without their precious physical presence with us is difficult, but also is a testimony in our honoring the joy they bring to our lives, and to the eternal bond of love we are blessed to share with them.

It also is a tribute to them - - it doesn't matter if it's been one year or fifty years - - for they are forever in our hearts and memories - - always a heartbeat close to us.

Sissycat, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how you're doing whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam
