My best friend in the whole world died today. He was my cat, Abe, who was 14&had a build up of fluid in his peritoneal cavity.(That's where all of your organs reside.) He hadn't eaten more than a spoonful of food in a week&yesterday he stopped drinking&started to hide which the vet said was a sign that Abe was asking me to help him get out of his pain. He's been there for me through a bad marriage, a worse divorce, and lots of mental health problems that included being hospitalized twice. When I first met him I really liked him. I was petting him through the bars at the shelter&stopped to look at a cat that was younger than him(He was 6 months old.), that my ex-husband was interested in, when I felt him reach out his little paw&start to tap me as if saying, "Pick me!" So began our friendship-he's always been there for me &was understanding when I was too sick to be there for him. I will love him forever&hope that he is now at peace&re-united with his mate of 11 years, Ms. Edie. I'll see you some time in the future my friend&I will never stop loving you!

I express my deepest sympathy on the loss of your feline loved one. I lost my own feline best friend about 4 months ago.
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played, I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade. I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity. I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide! And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be! My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do. I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night. 'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold. For although we may not be together in the way we used to be, We are still connected by a cord no eye can see. So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

I know there isn't anything worse than loosing our best friends & I know for myself....my kitty (Buffy) I had from the time I was 5 until I was 21.....was very special in my life.....The 2 kitty's I had when I was married Sammy & Abby were also special & got me through many rough times.....then when I got my first american eskimo doggie (Excell), I really knew even more the special bond that was between us. I have added more eskies to my family.....Excell being the daddy of most of them & when he died last May.....It was like I had lost my best friend ever.....all the fun & games we had together.....all my depression he saw me through......the worst part was that 2 of my other eskies were there when he died & seeing them grieve along with me was more than I could take at the time....The unconditional love that binds us with our critter babies shows us what true love is all about & I know that I have learned more about love from my 4 legged babies than all the humans in the world.
I know the pain you are feeling.......these words were something I read when I was feeling my deepest pain: You don't get over it, you just get through it. You don't get by it, because you can't get around it. It doesn't "get better"; it just gets different. Everyday grief puts on a new face..... Time does heal the pain, but it's important to hold onto the wonderful memories we have with our babies........they are our family & hold the same important position in our hearts....never to let go. May you feel peace as time passes, Debbie
