I only found this site 1 day ago and I feel as if ...somehow My cat TJ led me to it. So many people are in such despair about the losses they have suffered. It's impossible to write to everyone right now...so I just wanted to say how sorry I am for everyone. Last night was rough for me. I kept thinking about how it was TJ's first night buried. Horrible. TJ wasn't there sleeping with me as usual. For the past year I learned to sleep on my back all night...just so TJ could sleep on my chest. He liked to cuddle as close to my face as possible. I wish he would send a sign that he is ok. When my other pets passed, I usually got some type of sign...but so far nothing. This morning I tried to sleep as long as possible so I wouldn't have to think of what happened. Sometimes I wonder if life is really Hell on earth. Think of all the terrible things that happen to people while we are alive. Serious illness, death of loved ones, loss of a jobs and so many other things. I've been through my share of grief in this lifetime.

Dear Lisa,

I am sorry for the loss of your dear kitty cat TJ. I don't visit this site much anymore as I have tried to move on but... I always come back here to maybe comfort somebody as I have been comforted. I know how horrible you feel. It has been almost 8 mos. since I lost my kitty Ayla and I thought I had finally, maybe come to terms (somewhat) but I know now that maybe I never will. I guess this is what life is all about. We have to live with our grief and go on somehow and we do. but... It is so hard to explain. I had never gone through euthanasia before with an animal and it still haunts me and yes like you, I have asked for a sign. Please give me a sign that my girl is o.k. I think of a song that I hear alot that I dedicated to my girl and I have made that my sign from her and when I hear it I feel that she is o.k.

Dear Lisa, You are a wonderful person. Don't give up...someday you will open your heart to another furbaby in honor of TJ and you will not regret it. I have 3 other furkids and I have just the other day visited a shelter where somebody just dumped their 12 yr. old litter mate cats with a $20 bill. Well, these cats quit eating because they are so heartbroken. How could somebody do this to their big heathy babies?Well, we were going to take them in but they are so sick now and we have to wait till they are better before bringing them in with our furkids.


My heart goes out to you!

Hugs, Kimi

Thank you for the very kind words. It is very hard to deal with. I haven't mentioned this before on this board...but my dog Sadie passed away January 31st after a sudden illness. I felt I was just beginning to cope and now I lost TJ. The past coupleof days I have been on edge with everyone...I feel no one understands my pain.
I'm glad for you in your decision to adopt those kitties. You are very, very special.

HUGS,
