Well, its been 23 days now and not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of you and cried. I miss all the little thing you use to do greet us at the door when we would come home because you got to know the beep of the car alarm, and help me clean the bath room, mostly getting in the way. but that's O. K because I miss you getting in the way so much! How this doesn't seem real, I wish I would wake up and have it just of been a bad dream. but i know that won't happen, i know this is not a dream! how could i love a cat so darn much that its like my whole world has changed? nothing is the same around here, none of the other cats get along you were the glue that held them together, and bevis has no one to cuddle to now. i love you sly and wish i could have one more day with you just to let you know how much i love you. this happened so fast. i hope you are at peace and that you are having fun with all my other animals that went before you. there will never be another cat like you. you were one of a kind.

I LOVE YOU SLY!

LOVE, MOMMY SLY 3/5/1998- 3/22/04

2nd try for the pic.

What a great picture and beautiful baby!!!
It has only been 6 days since my faithful companion of 16 years was taken from me. I feel the same way you do. I also think she was the greatest cat ever! Her personality, her love for me, devotion and just everything about her. I miss her so much and long to have her back. I know I can't but that's what hurts so much, I just want to hold her and feel her next to me. It's pathetic, but I sleep with her cremains next to me and mostly walk around the house with them b/c that's where she would be...next to me. I have got to get out of this house b/f I go crazy today.

When does this gaping, black chasm in my soul start feeling better????!!!!!

sorry to here of your loss mayabella, its been over a month now
and i think this pain will never go away.
i think of him and start crying.
we have a chair in our room where sly use to sleep once in a while
and when i first woke up this morn i thought i saw him there,
i had to do double take.but it was just the chair.
i guess it was because i was still half asleep.
i can't beleave how much i miss him.
i got him when he was just 2 or 3 weeks old,
him mom got hit by a car and died.
so took over, bottle feeding and the whole 9 yards.
he was like my own child.
i stayed with him when they put him down
and that still runs through my mind seeing him going to sleep
and knowing i would never see him again.
i didn't have the money to keep his ashes.
and that hurts also, i wanted to bring back home.
i am glad that you could, that must bring you great comfort.
well now i am crying again so i wiil stop writing for now .
sorry again for you loss mayabella and hope your doing o.k.
and thanks for your reply.
slys mommy.

it was lovely what you wrote for your sly--I never thought I could sit and read so many sad things but after losing my cat it helps to find out how much love there is for other departed furry buddies. I don't feel so alone when I read how much other animals have touched other people. It is heartening. What a great pal you had. what a great pal sly had.

just wanted say i still can't beleave your not with me any more
and i miss you so very much! i love you sly! love mommie
thank you gingerspal! and sorry for your loss. yes this helps me alot also.

i still cry when i think of him.
i wish this pain would go away.
i don't think it ever will.
he was such a neat cat.
and my baby!

sorry i ment to add your cat was very pretty. and i know this a hard time for you also. slys mommie

Hi Sly's Mommy:

What a beautiful picture, and his eyes -- very curious...

The pain does lessen, given time & patience.... It's a process (and, it's a process that I wish we all didn't have to go through..)...
But, having this site to come to, has made my journey "more bearable"..

Reading everyone's stories ----- Crying with each & everyone; and then, sometimes, laughing at the funny things..
It's like a HUGE FAMILY, and we are all in this together -- I feel that way.

Please, just know that your beautiful boy Sly, lives WITHIN YOU..... He is in your heart, your soul, and in your thoughts..
He'll always be with you!

How is Bevis doing?? Let us know, when you have a chance..

And, please keep coming here & talking when you feel like it, okay??

God Bless You.

Love, Denise

Sly is SO HANDSOME. I know you loved (and love) him very very much.

I really like what Patti wrote:


My thoughts are with you. Please keep in touch. This group really will help. It's been 80 days today since my Little Girl passed on. I've been coming here almost every day since then. I don't know what I would have done without everyone here!

well still hurting and missing you sly!
you were such a good boy and we miss you so much!
and to all my new friends here,
bevis and miss taylor and cali are doing great.
loving the nice weather we are having and playing in the back yard,
and sun bathing. here is some pic's of our other cat's.
and thank you to all of you,
you have all made this a little easier. slys mommie!

cali again!

and this is miss taylor.

still missing you very much, won't this pain ever go away! we still cry when we think of you! you were the best cat. love mommie

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I am sure Sly is looking down at you with much love and waiting for you. I feel the same about my furbaby. I come here often and it helps me soooo much. I do want to say what a beautiful furfamily you have. The hole will be with you for a while but hopefully soon it will be filled with the love that you and Sly shared. I know it is hard but right now for me it is the only thing that keeps me from breaking down each day. I have pictures out of my boy now. I hope that it does get better for you and thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures of Sly and your other furbabies. You are in my thoughts.
