Our baby, our 7 month old kitten, disappeared just over 4 weeks ago. I have gone through every stage -- deep grief, anger, feeling better and then crying for days etc. I know it's practically impossible now that he is alive. The thought of his sweet soft little body lying somewhere kills me. did he suffer? Did he wonder why his mom didn't protect him as she promised to do?
Yet I still cannot give up hope that he is out there somewhere. My husband says he realized a few days ago that he was still looking for him, and had a good cry and accepted that he's gone. I can say "he's gone" or "he's dead" but I cannot stop hoping to see him every time I look through the window or open the door -- I even have a moment of anticipation when I arrive home from work, hoping he'll be there. I know if we had a ceremony of some sort, perhaps burying something of his, it might bring closure, but I can't bring myself to do it. I think if there's a slim chance of him being out there, my thinking of him will bring him home. Yet if his little spirit has passed on, is my longing for him keeping him from peace? Jane |

Jane,
You are by no means a horrible person. It's totally understandable that you would want your kitty back in your arms where he belongs. I pray that he will come home to you safely. My in-law's cat was gone for over 6 weeks and he came home alive. I don't know when to tell you would be the right time to give up and let him go. It is different for every situation. I pray that you find the peace that you need, and also that your kitty is not suffering and is safe. I'm so sorry -I feel at a loss for words right now. But I am thinking of you and your family during this very hard time. With love, Jenny -------------------- Alice Mae Bennett ("Allie") was born around May of 2003. She came home to us in July. On March 10, 2005, she became ill with a condition called mesenteric torsion or volvulus. It is a twisting of the small intestine which is nearly impossible to diagnose. Once symptoms begin it is usually too late to save the intestine by surgical means. There are no known ways to prevent it and its causes are also unknown. It is extremely rare, especially in medium-size females like Allie. It is more common in males of large breeds, like German Shepherds.
Allie was a sweet, happy and loving soul. I will miss her every day. Thanks for giving us these last two years, little girl. We'll always treasure them. |
