I just found out my cat, friend, of ten years passed away. The worst part is that I am away at college and wasn't even able to be there with her during her last days. Her name was Frisky, and we all loved her so much. This is really the saddest that I have felt in such a long time. I am going to miss playing with her in the yard in the summers, and her jumping up on my lap while watching tv. She was so innocent, i just hope she is up in heaven waiting for me.

Jeff, I'm sure Frisky is out playing now in his glory.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, and it makes it that much tougher when you weren't able to be there for them.

It's almost consoling to know that Frisky passed on his own. Be thankful for that. He knew the time had come. Many hold on for whatever reason, maybe because they feel just as guilty leaving, and knowing that it will break our hearts, until we unfortanately have to make the final decision. I would have loved if my Abby would have passed in peace at home, instead of knowing what I had to put her through.

You are not alone, and this group of people is great. I have only been here a little over a week myself. Take the time to read what others have shared.

I truly am sorry for the loss of Frisky.

Hi Jeff, It must be pretty painful to have lost your sweet Frisky and not have been able to be with her. I am sure she knows why you could not be with her and she knows you loved her so much. I am sure all of our babies are waiting to be with us once again when it is time for us to leave this world. I am so sorry for your loss and pain.

Jeff,

I lost a pet when I was at college ~ it was my childhood dog named Pepper ~ It was the hardest thing for me because I had her since I was 4 1/2 years old ~ she was my best friend ~ there for me ~ with a paw and a bark of joy ~ Years later I had to face the death of my favorite Maine Coone named Nicholas a gentle giant saved from the beatings of a mean person and having many years of peace and love with us ~ He was hit by a car and I was not living at home anymore either ~ these events are so hard ~ but today when I close my eyes and let my spirit come to the fore front I can feel them with me again ~ the spirit that remains after physical death is not bound by time and space ~ I hope this may help you ~ try to remember the warm and happy times and think of your Frisky with a cat grin and dancing by your side ~ Although my college days are decades behind me ~ these things have helped me learn ways to heal through difficult times like this ~ and stll today the loss of my Amber is so strange and the grief still so new ~ I will be thinking of you in the days ahead ~ Sincerely, Kathryn

Jeff,

Dear Jeff,

I'm so sorry for your loss of Frisky and even sorrier that you weren't able to say goodbye to her. Find comfort in knowing that she never doubted your love for her and that you'll see her again someday.

You're in my thoughts.
Kathleen
