Thank you for sharing the pictures. Your Little Guy is so very beautiful and his brother Keeper as well. How awful that you have lost them both, and their sister too. He certainly liked to be the center of attention whenever you got the camera out!
Maybe he is somewhere with my Alley now, and the other fluffy black kitties who have passed, waiting until we are together with them again someday.

Hi Love Them, when I look at the pics I remember how mischievous our kitty friends can be. I used to love walking inot the bedroom and seeing Fuzzy sleeping like a little prince with his head on the pillow and his body under the sheet. I miss the simple little things like that. Your furbaby is beautiful.

This is just like a story book, a beautiful story, about two angels, one(Love Them) who does wonderful work here and the other, Little Guy looks over

"that's my mom showing you my pictures to you guys down here". Beautiful! Take care, it does get better but many tears have to fall, it's a way for that love to be transfered into eternity.
It will get better for sure though I know that Little Guy will always be in your heart and believe it, there will be a rich life that you will want to live and because of your love, there will be a happy fairy tale ending. Hugs to you and courage, it will be better as time goes by.

Hi LoveThem, All your pics are beautiful. I love how you described Little Guy he was quite a character. I like how he would mess the rug up, sometimes it's those little corks that are missed the most. Thanks for sharing K9pal

Judy! What absolute beauties! I love your pictures and it really does help to post them and have a place to come and see them and get hugs from everyone here who has felt the same. It is a healing place here and I am finding more peace as time goes by and I come here everyday to post or put up a picture of my baby too. I know it has only been a short time for you, but tears will keep cleansing your spirit, we must cry them out to get to the peace of the soul where we know we are still loved by our furry friends and kids. We know we will see them again. We mourn the loss of their physical being here on earth and yet their spirit is with us always.
Hugs to you,

Thank you, Love Them. What beautiful kitties they are. It's so sad to know that some day we all have to say good bye to them...but not forever. I take hope in the thought that it is not forever.
I cry when I read what you wrote because It reminds me of my Sadie girl. They are so different in personalities, yet so alike in their kitty cat traits

. What a blessing it is to have them. Some of us are blessed to have them for 15, 20 or more years, and some for much shorter. Either way we are blessed to have shared the same space.

Lovethem,
thank you for sharing your pics. i find it so therapeutic to post pics. how did you ever tell them apart.? they look so much alike. just like the cat i grew up with in my youth. we just put together a shutterfly album of eddie and created a slideshow of photo memories and sent the link out to friends and family. just a couple of more ideas for you to keep your wonderful little guy's memories present and picture perfect.
[We know we will see them again. We mourn the loss of their physical being here on earth and yet their spirit is with us always. ]
I totally beleive this, well said kittymomma.
i am thinking of you and totally feel where you are at this point during your grieving process.
take care,

LOL, I guess when the light hits them they're green. In low light they just look black.
I just love your pics, LittleGuy seemed like he loved his pic taken too.

Hi LoveThem,
Today is the 3 month marker for me and it occurred to me that yesterday was yours. I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I was thinking about you and Little Guy.
Take care and many hugs!

Wow, LoveThem! So much to say-I, too, took all of the calendars down for the month of September 2007. I thought that it was my little quirk. I have so many calendars-in my office at home, my office at work, and even in our kitchen. One was a Border Collie calendar and that came down and has never gone back up. The others were just left on August until October 1st.
I could just imagine Little Guy hiding in that tablecloth with his tail hanging out, giving him away. That is such an adorable story. Our "anniversaries" seem to make us reflect back to what happened and it is still so hard. I find myself avoiding doing so many things this holiday season because they are such painful reminders of what I had only a year ago. I know that Little Guy intended to be with you this year but please remember that he is still here, albeit, in another form.
I know what you mean-how no one else seems to ask about how you are doing. If you had suffered the loss of any human family member, people would still be checking in with you to see how you are for the holidays. It just goes to show how far away our society is to respecting and appreciating animals. It is coming along ever so slowly but I wonder if we will see more of a socially collective respect for animals in our lifetime. But Little Guy and Duffy did exist and made a huge impact in ours and others lives. I like to believe that our little community here on this forum now knows that Duffy existed and lived and touched people's lives. I have now been able to share Duffy with you all and I like to think that is his tribute. You have done the same for Little Guy. His pictures have helped me to heal.
I absolutely love your pet photo calendar idea and if there is anything I could do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. If you would like, I can look around the web to see if there is anything of interest. I'm thinking that kodakgallery and snapfish websites might offer that. I will look.
In any case, I am sorry for such a long post. I will get back to you about the websites. I do miss playing tug of war with my little Duff. He was so cute and he would make a little growly sound because I would put my nose on his and pull his tug toy with my hands. God I miss him.
Take care and I will speak to you soon.

Hi Love Them, Real beauties they are. Do you find yourself giving those photos a hug and kiss? I do with mine. Eddies mom said it best, "their spirit is with us always". As for me, still getting those signs. I'm not crazy, but today I heard a meow, his meow. There were no other cats or kids around. In that spilt second I turned around and said 'what poops?". It was so real. In that split second, it was like he never left us. Hope your new kitty has a long and happy life. Ann

Here is picture #4. This was Little Guy's Rug which is close to my computer desk.
If I straightened it out, he always bunched it up like this and then HE was happy with it. It was a "free" rug when we bought our car and since I felt the salesman ripped us off of $1,000 he took from the factory offer instead of the customer getting it, I always called this our $1,000 Rug. But Little Guy pounced on it as soon as it was down. It is still right by me in the same area but now it is empty. Is it no wonder why I can't stop crying for my boy? All these pictures are of my boy as 100% healthy.
they are all so beautiful, they were truely twins. just know that they are happy and healthy again now. your baby is still keeping guard over his rug i bet:) he has his syblings and they are all together again. im sure his syblings welcomed him into heaven and are keeping him company until you all meet again. when i attach more than one pic i go to edit pic and make them smaller 1st. its nice how you attached a summary of each pic. i feel like i've known them. my heart is with you. as you go down memory lane you arent alone. your kitties are rejoices and comforting you the whole time.

Hi, Little Guy:
You remember I told you above about the new shelter kitty, Lucky, who lives with us now.
Well, this morning I was talking gently to him and I called him Little Guy. So you see, I know you are in my heart but this shows you are very much a part of my thought process all the time.
I look at your pictures and want to reach in and hug you. Lucky could learn some lessons from a big brother like you. He had no one to teach him things but he tries to be good so it will take time.
We had you and your twin, Keeper, and your Sister, Little Girl and the 3 of you were no trouble ever. You just didn't get into things. Lucky is more like having a dozen kitties...he is into everything. He stands up and looks into the garbage can in the kitchen, he looks in a toilet bowl, he is curious about everything. But one thing you all have in common is chasing a string around the room. If he was more like you 3, we would be able to open our home to more babies but right now at least, he keeps us going constantly.
We do miss your manners, your gentleness, and your affection. Perfect kitties are hard to find but you were a perfect kitty for us. But then we did get to raise you from birth. I think that is an advantage vs kitties who are left on their own to learn from the streets and if they are really lucky they will wind up in a shelter where at least they are safe but the real treasure for them is finding a home...and sometimes it takes ones like you who have to leave but who leave the door open...for another one to find a home like you had.
It is sad to see your pictures and feel that is all that is left to see but I am also glad I took them because it means so much to see you looking back at me as you always looked right into the camera when you were paying attention...I don't have to rely on my memory to remember that...I can see it in so many pictures.
I will never stop missing you and I will never stop telling you that.
Love
"Mom"
those are beautiful words. i am teary. if little man could speak he would let you know that he is watching over all of this and always will until you meet again. im sure he would let you know that he is close to you in your heart and never far away. i hope you can find peace in knowing you gave him and his syblings a great life and are continuing to give a good life to other kitties.

Yes, Bue 's eyes look green in so many pictures...just an absolutely beautiful color.
Looking at your pictures and your remark about Little Guy liking his picture taken.....
you know what this all is really is these babies cannot take their eyes off of us..they always look directly into our eyes and if there happens to be a camera in between, they still will keep looking cause they know the camera will go away and then they can look into our eyes again. They are still cause they are looking to see what we are going to do. If we walk away...they will follow, etc etc.
The love they give out just follows us all everywhere, doesn't it?
Thanks for the visit...I remember what you said.............

i agree. they have a way of staring into our souls and taking a hold of our hearts forever. i'll never forget the depth ive seen in all my angels eyes.
