MY BEAUTIFUL BOY BO DIED IN MY ARMS SEPT. 5, 2005. OH HOW HE WAS LOVED. MY BO WAS BRAVE TILL THE END. HE LIVED TILL 20 ONE MONTH SHY OF HIS 21RST BIRTHDAY. MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF WERE DRIVING HIM TO THE HOSPITAL I WAS HOLDING HIM AND HE DIED IN MY ARMS. OH HOW I WISH I COULD HAVE HIM BACK. HOW HE WOULD WAIT FOR ME TO COME HOME, AND IN HIS LATER YEARS, HE WOULD JUST LET ME FEED HIM. I KNEW HOW TO DO IT JUST RIGHT. HE LOVED GOING OUTSIDE WITH US, HE NEVER WENT OUT ALONE. WHEN I WAS RUSHING HIM TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A MOMENT HE LOOKED AT THE TREES, THE SUN. AND HE WAS CALM AND THEN 5 MINUTES LATER HE HAD A SEIZURE AND DIED. I LOVE MY BOY AND WANT HIM BACK. WE HAVE 2 OTHER CATS AND 1 ISN'T EATING NOW. SHE MISSES HIM TERRIBLY. THE HOUSE IS SO STILL.

BO IS SLEEPING WITH THE ANGELS HE IS A ANGEL.

LOVE,
MOM

Im so sorry for your loss. It must be tough, losing him after all those years. Just console yourself with how lucky you were to have him for all that time. I know it makes it tougher to let go but you will get there. I lost my wee cat to a road accident 5 days ago and thought my world had ended. Ive cried constantly and felt guilty and had a whole load of diffrent emotions. But your big guy is at peace now and is happy. You must look for the Rainbow Bridge poem and read it. Its lovely - your tears will blind you but just imagine your cat when reading it and it will help, maybe not rite now, but eventually - i promise.

Take care of yourself, and your other cats. The one fretting just now will be okay again soon, so dont worry too much, just keep lovin them

I am so terribly sorry for your loss! When my 17-yr old furkitty died 15-mo ago I was a mess! My baby died in my arms to. He was in first stages of renal failure plus had other health issues that he was on meds for. It isn't easy losing our babies because they are our fur children.
Please keep coming here often and write as much as you want to.

Once again, I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry about your loss. It's so tough. My cat died 3 weeks ago; the first week was excrutiatingly painful. The second week I started to feel a little better, a little hopeful that I would feel better.
But I must this week I have had a setback and been pretty miserable.
I think it might be all the animals that have been left behind from hurricane katrina; this upsets me as it is. And then seeing people so happy when they are reunited with their pets REALLY upsets me because I just want my cat back so bad! As so many have said here, there are setbacks, but things will get better.

Even though I have to other cats too my house feels still too - that's a good way to describe it.
My cat that has been bothered by this has only in the past few days been acting more back to normal. I've probably been prolonging their misery by being so upset all the time.

And Catherine is right about the poem. It makes me cry my eyes out everytime I read it, but I read it everyday and I know my cat feels good and she is very happy right now, and that is what is most important. And that she is playing with a litte child that is up there too. Sure, we are still miserable and sad that we've been separated from our cats, and this is because we love them so much. And because we love them so much, we don't want them to be unhappy or experiencing pain. And they're not, which is good.
They say that we will be reunited with our pets someday, and I must admit this just tears me up inside because that means I have to wait many more years before I can see her again. I am also so scared that I will start to forget what her meow sounded like.

Someday we will be able to look back and remember the cute things they did, and we will be thankful they were in our lives and gave us so much. As I have read in other posts, it takes alot time to get to that point. But we will get there!

Take care and keep posting.

I lost my little boy Bo also back in March of this year. He died one day while I was at work. He was 11 years old. When I saw your post and it said "Bo" I just had to reply something. I'm truly sorry about your loss and I feel for you, I am lost without my Bo, he was my best friend and lifeline. He's been gone several months now but the pain is still so real. Please be thankful you were with him when he passed away I'm sure that was comforting to him. My poor Bo was all alone and I am still feeling terrible about it.

In sympathy and friendship.
