Where ever you are, Chelsy sweetie cat... Happy New Year.

I miss you so much tonight and every night. There's not been a day passed that I haven't thought about you and missed you and longed to have you back.

Soon I will have to replace the scratchers that I got just for you... I found that the very idea was a heartfelt stab... Like I would be losing what little bit of you I had left.

The 2 new cats have worn them out though...

Strange that I should now have 2 entirely different cats where I never wanted another pet than you. I didn't really want either of these. Somehow I just wound up with them through a concatenation of cir%%stances.

In a way I'm glad, because the house would have been unbearably empty without you. But, neither of them evoke even a ghost of the feeling or relationship I had with you.

Nobody can ever come close to you, and I miss you terribly.

I know we all go eventually, but I know that neither of us wanted to part and it was so hard when the end came.

Love you & am thinking of you always!

What a beautiful note to your baby. I am glad you do not have an empty home. What you have expressed I can feel for my Little Guy, who I lost in September.

It has been a week today that I brought home a new one from a shelter and he is doing just fine. His name is Lucky and he really helps fill th emptiness that made me so unhappy.

Yes, I can really relate to a lot of what you just wrote to your baby and I can repeat it from me to mine as well. Each one of these babies gave us such a special love and special memories that we will never forget.

You are not alone in the pain, the missing, the love, the remembering especially good memories...that's all a part of our lives when we have experienced the special unconditional love we get from these extra special babies.

Take Care and I am glad you came here and shared with us such a wonderful note.

I lost my dog two days ago and the thought of going even as long as one year without him is unbearable. You are very very strong.

I love your post to your baby. Our babies are so special to us. Even though we get others, they will never be replaced. They are special in their own way and some are just more special. They just are. Bonny's that way with me. I will never have another one like her. Losing her is like losing a part of me. I lost her on Christmas Eve. I have one other and may be getting another one tomorrow. I went to the shelter this weekend and there is one pulling on my heart. I didn't adopt her right away because I thought I was being impulsive. But I can't stop thinking about her. I'm going to go tomorrow morning to see if she's still there.

Take care and thanks for sharing.

Oh that was so beautiful and sums up exactly how I feel. I have 2 dogs, and neither of them even begin to fill the void left when Bono died. Take care. I know what you're going through. ***
