Hello to my dear Sissycat. Remembering you today. (as I do everyday)
Both your sisters are here. Boogie asleep in my pile of clean laundry to fold. lol And Yu is asleep in her popsicle box. I just can't throw it away she loves to sleep there. Your spot is still at the end of my bed. Just not ready to move the things yet. Pesky rabbits ate one of your mums off your grave yesterday. Hopefully it will come back out. If not will plant something new in the spring.
Miss and love you Sissycat!!!

Tomorrow will be 11 weeks since I lost Sissycat. I still miss her so much. Sometimes I stop and think--she is REALLY gone.

I also wanna say thanks to everyone you reads my posts. Your replys mean so much!!!!!!!!!

Miss ya Sissycat and Love You so Much!!!!!!

Oh! I just love the way you write about your sweet Sissycat it's just right and makes us feel closer to them don't they? About your daughter? I am sure what she said to you it was not in a bad way it is just that even if she dosen't tell you she dosen't like to see you sad nor suffering, but, please keep writing about sweet Sissycat as much as you like becouse you know we are here also to listen too and we love it, we really do, always here for you Jorge

Thanks Jorge!!!!!!

Today is the 11 week anniversary. Why do the anniversaries have to hurt so much?

Love ya Sissycat

Hi Sissycat, Unfortunetly anniversairies are going to hurt as much as we let them. I know the feeling. For me, everday feels like one of "those anniversaries". Today I clean out his grave area. Trimmed the cat nip, cleaned the cross and put more sylicone spray on his plaque. Then I cried uncontrolable on my Dave's shoulder. It was the first time since "that day" that I have done that. I was afraid of his reaction, so I've been crying alone (or here)where no one can see me. I didn't get much from him but a hug and a "oh Ann". He probably thought I have "gotten over it" by now. Little does he know. I think it got him all teary eyed. I wish I could build a path to heaven with all the broken hearts here and get everyones precious babies back. I wouldn't run short of pieces if I could..I too find it hard to believe my boy is gone. I think it's because he's in my vision all the time.. Hugs to you Sissycat..Ann

They hurt so much because we love them so much and we miss them so much...it all goes together.

This kind of anniversary represents a day that changed our lives forever in a devastating sad way. A day that has time in it ..without them. How can that NOT hurt so very much?

I can't count weeks when I have a loss..after the first couple of weeks...it is easier for me to dislike the month and until that month comes again...for me there is no other anniversary to make me grieve more. Missing my boy is part of my everyday life but to really remember that last day....I cannot avoid the month but I try to see the other months..as other months and have just the sadness that he was with me those months for over 16 years.

This hurt is when I remember that saying I find a lot of meaning in:

The pain of losing them will never ever be greater than the joy of knowing them. I would rather think of the joy then remember the pain that I cannot do anything about. At least the joy is of good happy healthy memories and I am so glad and grateful my boy was born in my backyard to a feral mom so many years ago. He was the last of 3 to lose and there is something about a home that is completely empty..................

I think it is beautiful you talk to your Sissy cat. She is an Angel and I am sure that these Angels are always listening.

Hugs
Judy

Hi Sissycat - I just lost my Roman, and time seems to be crawling by. I feel your pain, there seems to be no end to it, and that's the hardest thing about losing a fur baby, we have to go on. We don't want to, but we do.....

Morning Sissycat,

Here it is another week has passed. I can't believe it. Tomorrow is 12 weeks. I never thought I could make it this long with out you. It has been hard, but we are managing. One day at a time.
You would have had so much fun this summer with your sisters. The squirells come down and tease them then run back up the tree. It is funny to watch lol. Sure wish your were physically here with them to play. I do know you are here in spirit.

I love You Sissycat. Oh by the way there are lots of newbies coming to the Rainbow Bridge just as you did. Help show them the way.

Miss You and Love Ya Sissy

Very sweet Sissycat. I wish these weeks were easier. I'm like you, I have nobody to really share my grief with other then here. They think I'm 'healed' I think...little do they know. I still cry a tear daily...some are more then others. It's nice to see I'm not alone.

Take care.
Marcie

Sissycat just a quick post to say I love and miss you everyday!!!!!

Love Yu!!!!!!!!

I was reading your sweet post and felt the need to tell you this, it was like Sissycat wanted to use me to say to you, "Thank you I love you and miss you too"

Hi there. Sissycat wanted to come by and shower you with Oodles and Boodles of Love! She also picked out a song and the video she wanted you to see. She loves it so much because of all the kitties and other animals in it even though they're cartoons but she loves cartoons! Still, this particular song is her message to you. Awww! What a sweet fur baby!!! Here she is showing you love and please be sure to turn up your volume to hear the video she wants you to have.










Here, I'll write this part and you sign it. Okay, Sissycat? ... "To My Loving Mommy"

Thank You Havana and Angelcareone!!!

It means alot to me.


"kim"

{{{{{Kim}}}}} You're most welcome, Dear One! Sissycat has brought some flowers from The Rainbow Bridge which she picked herself especially for you! She says their fragrance is just as lovely and beautiful as the bouquet itself. Oooooo, flowers with all the colors of the Rainbow. Sissycat must love you Sooooo Much!!!





Oh, they those are Awesome indeed! See ya later, Sissycat.

Lotsa Love and Comforting Hugs to You and Your Fur Baby Sissycat!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Hey Sissycat,

Been 13 weeks today. Everyweek that passes I just can't believe it has been that long.
Miss and love you Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had to write this morning. Sissycat's sister Boogie came to me while I was in the recliner last night and climbed up and laid with me on my chest. It was so wonderful. Boogie has never been a lap cat and she didn't like to be held but for a few minutes. (Sissycat was always the lap cat) I missed Sissy doing that so much, it felt really good again. This is probably silly to some people but it made me happy.

Thanks Sissycat I bet you sent her to me!!!

Love and Miss You Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You said:

Thanks Sissycat I bet you sent her to me!!!


I'll bet Sissycat did just that! Her spirit is a part of you. That's why she can never leave you. Boogie's act was Sissycat's way of letting you know she is watching over you. And, she is listening to every word you say or write to her.

Hugs
Judy

Just wanted to say Boogie came to me again the next night and climbed in my lap. Nothing since then. Sissy I hope you are sending her. Please continue if you are. I miss you in my lap so much and Boogie is such a comfort.

Love ya Sissycat!!

Hi Sissycat------I can't think of any thing to say that hasn't been said .I truley believe that you and me and EVERYONE else on this forum have an incredible gift waiting for us at the end of this short blip of a life on earth.THAT'S RIGHT! our beautiful babies will be with us forever!----Just hang on buddy,Let's all hang on and cry together along the way.It's probably closer than any of us think........Let's face it the babies are everything to us and we WILL get there and hold them forever--------I hope these words help-----your furbabie pal--------Bubba

Thanks Bubba!!!

Like someone else said--Everytime someone replys it means someone cares.
Yes we will all get through it together. We have to. And yes it is probably closer than we all realize.

Again Thanks for caring Bubba!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!

Been 14 weeks today. Out of the blue yesterday I came home from work and started to call for her. (Like I used to do) Felt silly cause I knew she isn't here. Maybe I had been thinking of her. Maybe she was thinking of me. It was just kinda wierd.

Hugs to my Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweetie, I know just what you're talking about. In four days it will have been a year since my baby Alex did not come home. To this day, I keep calling my Buddy dog and my Styx kitty either "Alex" or even "Cocoa." And Cocoa crossed over to The Rainbow Bridge over 12 years ago. So odd indeed. Even though no human is around to hear me call my doggie and kitty the wrong name at times, I feel really silly, too.

I still talk out loud to Alex when I'm at home with my fur kids. I know he's right here with me, can hear me. Yeppers it sure is, Hon. And that's a very lovely, loving, wonderful thing as well as comforting to both myself and Alex.
Many Blessings and Angels Wing to You and Your Fur Baby SissyCat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your Pal,
Dottie xoxoxox

Thanks Dottie

You just always know how to make a person feel better. At least I know I'm not the only person that feels silly for calling out the wrong name or talking to them.

Hugs to You and Alex, Cocoa, Buddy, and Styx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do the same thing, Sissycat.

I have called my new boy, Lucky.....Little Guy more than one time. He looks like him and it seems natural at times but then I do correct myself (don't want to confuse the new boy).

After I lost Little Guy last September...I tried being in one room and calling his name like I used to do and he would always come find me. Then it got too sad because one part of my mind was telling me he was gone and would not answer.

So now I just talk to his pictures sometimes...that way I can look into his eyes and they are looking back at me. He doesn't have to answer. I'm sure he hears me just fine..just like
Sissycat hears you.

They never truly leave us for they do live in our hearts...a place they are very much alive,
healthy, and can never be taken away.

Judy

A quick Hello to my Sissycat to let her know I Miss her!!!!


LOve Ya Sissycat

sissycat is a beauty! Isn't it amazing how unique each cat is, how each one is one-of-a-kind. ahhhh, I miss my cat(s). I just recovered from a pretty ugly crying jig. Must pull myself together and go out in search of food.

i really appreciate that you are so attuned to other people. I think perhaps that is the purpose of our grief. maybe? It makes us more sensitve and kind to others. Wish I could scoop everyone up in this site and hold them all.....

Mikki

Today is the 15 week anniverssary of Sissycat moving on to her new and better life. Don't get me wrong--she had a great life here but I have to believe she is having a wonderful time now. Sissycat, we love and miss you !!!!!!!

Ditto Sissy Cat..Ann

{{{{{{{Sissycat}}}}}}} I had to come by, say hello and let you know you're in my thoughts ... And so much more ... And so much more ...

Big Comforting Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your Pal Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Thanks Dottie!!!!!!!!!!
Always nice to know someone cares!!!




Love You Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of you Sissycat!!!


Love and Hugs Sissycat I miss you!!!

Dottie, and Sissycat----I love you people! I've been thinking of you both. So grateful for your words of encouragement, wisdom and support, so value what you bring to this site.
Warmly,
Mikki

Can't believe it another week has gone by. This makes week 16 without her.

Love you so very much and miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww, thanks so much {{{{{{{Mikki}}}}}}} Hugs!!!!!


{{{{{{{Sissy}}}}}}} I know just how you feel missing your Sissycat. I was just over at Jorge's thread and saw where you said this ...



Oh My Gosh!!! I feel so Happy for you!!!!!
I do expect to see a bunch of photos in the New Beginnings forum. Okay? Okay!!!!!

Tons of Hugs and Lotsa Love!!!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

HI, Sissy Cat

I read about you getting a new kitten. Absolutely wonderful news. A little baby who needs a home and love and you need to hug another furbaby.....it really helps. They are their own personality but they all are furbabies and there is something uniquely special about hugging them. Your new one will need a name and I am looking forward also to pictures and stories all about the new one.
I will be checking New Beginnings for your..new beginning. I'll bet Sissy Cat had something to do with this happening.

Hugs

After I lost Little Guy last September...I tried being in one room and calling his name like I used to do and he would always come find me. Then it got too sad because one part of my mind was telling me he was gone and would not answer.
JUDY! I was so amazed when I read this---i have done the same thing! My husband thinks I have lost my mind. Sometimes at night when I crawl into bed I will yell: Jet-boy, Jetty-jet, come-come......that was the call. Or I'll just be doing something and yell out "EEELLLIOOTTT" , half expecting to see him. I thought I was crazy.....I did finally stop doing that....but part of me wanted them to know that I still thought about them. Do you think they hear us when we do that?? I like to think so. Anyway, I was tickled when I read that

I didn't get him last weekend. Maybe this weekend. I need to be home to help all the other cats adjust to him. I still have 4 females. Yes, he does have a name Tucker--- but I call him Tooooker...lol
I am worried about bringing him in. How they will react to him scares me. Can cats pout? Can they get mad at us? Guess we will see. I go to my daughters house almost everyday and play with him. Don't know for sure how old he is. Guessing 4 to 6 months. Sissycat if you had anything to do with this Thanks!!!!!

Love you Sissycat and Miss you very much still!!!!!!!

sissycat

Just watch them all, I guess. I have not introduced new ones in but I am sure many here have. Ken Albin has been around shelter cats and also knows about introductions..you might ask him in a PM or in his topic in New Beginnings. He always gives good advice.

I think being a boy introduced to girls might be easier than boys to boys (macho ego, maybe).

You know your girls. They might decide to mother him.

Keep us updated, please. Give Tucker a hug from us.

Judy

Yes, I will accept advice from anyone.

I have 4 fixed females ages 6, 4, 2 years old. I am wanting to bring into our family a male (not fixed yet, but soon will be) around 4 or 5 months old. I work during the week and my kids have lots of afterschool activities so my main time is late evening and weekends. I would like to bring him on Saturday morning so I have all weekend to work with them. Think I am just nervous as to how they will respond to him.

Thanks

Kim

Sissycat it is week 17.

The leaves are starting to fall. You loved to chase them in the wind. I will miss that this fall.

Love you Sissycat!!!!!!!!

Sissy Cat

I am worried your kitten question hasn't been seen. Why don't you post your question in
Cybershoulder or New Beginnings (as anticipating a new kitten). I am sure you will get some
good advice if others realize you are asking a question that needs advice. I think sometimes people check there for new questions more than in this Section.

Ken has his new kittens in New Beginnings although he helped me in Cybershoulder with advice about adopting from a shelter. Please try your questions in one or both of those places as you should be getting that kitty soon.

Another week I have made it through. Today makes 4 1/2 months.

Love you so very much Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!

Also I didn't get the kitten I had spoken of. My daughter backed out on buying the house so now they are keeping him. Thats is ok tho. I still go play with him some. Guess It just isn't meant to be yet.



Sissy I'm giving you a big ole belly and chin scratching!!!!!!!!!

We think how can we ever go on after a special furpet is gone? It is so hard!!! I am here to say to anyone reading it does get better. I still miss Sissycat very very much and I love her so very very much.
Today is 19 weeks. I never thought i'd make it this far. We just make it one day at a time.

Hugs to All.

Love and Miss you Sissycat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss Sissycat so much tonight!!! Reading a post from someone else just brought back memories. Good memories that is. Still the tears fell.
The first Halloween without her is almost here.

Sissycat: Thanks for stopping by my Little Guy's topic. I was rereading above where you and also Mikki talked about calling our babies even though we know they will not stroll into the room like they used to.

Mikki asked if I thought they hear us. Yes, I believe they do and I also believe they understand if we also stop calling after a while....because the emptiness we feel when there is no answer...sometimes we just can't go on...calling.

But we can talk to them as often as we like. There is no response expected there. But if someday we happen to catch a flash of "something" out of the corner of our eye...just maybe...that was a way our special one was communicating back. I'd like to think so.

That's why I think it is so beautiful, Sissycat, how you show your baby so much love by keeping in touch often. We just know they are near and are listening.....cause they are special Angels now..and Angels are always nearby...watching and listening.....

Hugs, Sissycat

Judy

Thanks LoveThem

Sometimes I do feel silly when I post to Sissycat everyweek. I don't care tho. I do it anyway and will continue to do so.

Today is the day I say Hello to my Sissycat. 21 weeks without you today.

Love you and miss you!!!!!!!!!

Pssttt ... Sissy kitty. Your Mommy's hopefully in bed and dreaming of marvelous, wonderful things. I came by to speak with you and give you a message for your Mommy and it's for you, too. From all that your Mommy has said about you, do you know how you make me feel? Here, I'll show you ...

Guess what, Sissy kitty? You and your Mommy make a whole lot of other people and fur kids feel that way, too! That's a fact, Jack. Well, I wanted to stop by, say howdy to you and leave a message for your Mom. Please give her all my Love and Tons of Hugs. Okay? Awww ... Sure, Sissy kitty. That goes without saying. Tons of Hugs and Lots and Lots of Love to you, too!!!

Big Tight Comforting Hugs, Lotsa Love and Many Thanks!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

All I can say is Thank You AngelCareOne!!!!! You always make me smile with tears too of course.

I always love your posts!!!!!!
