I Loved My Sissy Cat Options

[myhrtisbrkn]

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,
Dayna

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grieving is like riding a roller coaster. The ups and downs become less hilly toward the end of the ride. One day your roller coaster will become a smoother ride.

Have faith that one day Sissy WILL run through the grass again to you as she greets you at Heaven's Gate. Her tail will wave in the wind as you and she reunite and hold each other for eternity. Though her body has perished from this earth, her love lives on forever in your heart.

Much love with warm hugs,
Beth

Miss and Love you SSSSSoooooooooooooooo much Sissy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont think that sounds stupid. i think just feeling like they are still with us helps. i still sometimes call my recently passed acorn to come to bed. it hurts because i dont hear his bell jingling and see him running to go to bed with me anymore but i feel like he is coming in spirit. im sure your kitty angel is still sleeping at your side when you are lonely. i wish you the best.

im so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful doggie. that is tragic. i think it was nice of you to incude your dog candy in the funeral too. it must have been hard for her also. i just lost another sweet kitty and this has been the hardest one because he was only 1 year old and passed suddenly from f.i.p. I think it will take me a long time to feel better too. i wish you the best. with love corina and her angels

[sissycat]

Was just wondering if many people dream of their pet that has passed? I know some talk of it. Been little over 6 weeks and still I am wishing to dream of Sissy.

Thinking about you tonight Sissy.

Love and Miss YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sissycat]

Been 7 weeks and you are always on my mind Sissycat.

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

Your sisters Boogie and Yu and your momma Winks miss you too!!!

[sissycat]

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.

I admire your love for Sissy Cat. What a wonderful life Sissy must have had.

God bless you.

just wondering how you are doing, while we all know someone is missing, ours happens to be a pair of black and white cats with asymmetrical faces on the same sides. i picked him up the same way 9 times out of 10 and what i wouldn't do to be able to do it and kiss that white eye again.

[sissycat]

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.

[LoveThem]

Thinking of you and Sissy......

Just wanted to give you a HUG today!

[sissycat]

LoveThem,

Thank You! It means soooooo much to me just to know that someone out there cares!!!!!!!!!

Thank You!!!

Many HUgs back to you and yes I needed a hug today!!!!!!!

[sissycat]

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 so sorry to hear about Lilly. I'm sure Sissycat is showing her all the fun places over the Rainbow Bridge. Today is my 2 mo mark too of the loss of Arthur. I still can't believe I'm here and all this has happened. I gave back 3 weeks of my summer vacation, cuz most of it was just to spend time with him. It is still a struggle to go to my boyfriend's where he lived. I see him in every space of that house. I read you 1st forum. I went overboard in his death as I did in his life. I drove 1 1/2 hrs one way to pick up his ashes, cuz I didn't want him "shipped" in any way. Fex ex, ups, usps. NO..Trust me I work at a Post Office and if something is marked "fragile" no one cares. We have most of his ashes in a memory box with some of his toys. A phot album next to it. The rainbow bridge poem on top of it. We also put a fence around his catnip I grew along with a cross, a solar light, and a heart shaped sltate with his name, date and photo of him eating his catnip on it. A little of his ashes were buried there in a crystal glass box, a photo, some fur, some toys, and some catnip. So as I see it you can never do too much. I also have a little of his ashes with photos at my house. And I was thinking about getting a piece of urn jewlery to wear with a little of his ashes in it. He loved being outside and with us and I needed to cover every aspect of that. And when I saw that cat the day after I asked for a sign, well I knew he heard me and all my efforts did not go unnoticed. That was a gift from him I will treasure a liifetime. As for dreams. They will come. Be patient. I've only had 1 that I can remember. I know how much you miss your Sissycat. She was very much loved..She is still with you.. Good luck in your search for another companion.. You'll know when you find the right one. Sissycat will let you know.. Hugs and thoughts are with you.. Ann

Hello, Dear One. Please turn up your volume, put on your reading glasses if you need them and click on the link below. If Sissy Cat could speak with you since that point in time when your grief first began, your deep sorrow and tears, I truly feel she would tell you this. She may even be trying so hard to say this to you now. Please look at what I feel she wants to show you and listen to her. You may very well agree that it's what Sissy Cat wants you to know and the same goes for Lilly pup ...

Many Blessings and I Wish You and Sissy Cat Peace! And, of course Lilly pup, too!

Always,
