    I am so very sorry. Deepest sympathy to you and all who love him, on the loss of your darling Koko. May your precious memories help to bring you comfort and peace. What a wonderful long life you and he have shared!

    He is a beautiful Angel now, strong and healthy again at the Rainbow Bridge, where he will welcome you Home.. One Fine Day. Love never dies, and you and he are together always.

    Dear Barb,

    It is with a heavy heart that I read this about your dear Koko. I know he was your kitty and how much he was loved. All I can say is cry your eyes out until you can't cry anymore, then think of the good life you gave him and how many kitties will never know what it is to be loved the way Koko was loved. It took courage to do what was right for Koko and know he is pain free. Give Nugget an extra hug and know you are in my thoughts.

    My Grace recently had rabies and feline distemper shots and something is terribly amiss. A week after the shots she is now blind, can barely walk and having great difficulty standing. I think it is because of this she is barely eating and drinking. She is also having accidents on the floor and doesn't seem to be able to make it to her litter box. I am holding onto hope but the reality is I think she is in the dying process and it is heart wrenching to watch.

    If you have an extra prayer, Grace could sure use one.

    So sorry for the loss of your little friend!

    It's devastating. And it hurts so much sometimes. I'm so sorry for your loss! What helped me was that I realized just because my little buddy was gone it didn't mean I had to stop loving him. It's been almost a year and a half and I still love him, always will. I can't hold him physically anymore but I always hold him in my heart. Koko will always be in your heart.

    I am crying with you. While you may never get over the pain of losing your kitty, it does get easier. I promise.
    When I lost my Taz I cried my eyes out almost every night for a good month. I thought about him ALL the time (and still do, actually).
    Nothing we can say can take away your pain. Just know we are right here with you and know exactly what you are going through.

    Hugs to you!

    RIP Koko
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I am so sorry about your Koko. RIP, sweetie, you were so loved.

    I know well your pain. We put our 18 year old Jamara down - good Lord, it's been 12 years ago - and I never thought we'd get over it. You cry and cry; everything reminds you for a while. Then you find something else - another toy, an old dish, you cry some more. It hurts. It will lessen; you will find peace with it, give it time. We're all here for you and know what you're going through.

    He sure was loved; in fact, the vet said the reason he lasted this long was the incredible love he got for 18 yrs, but really, I don't know what to do BUT love a pet; who would do otherwise?

    You are right, he will certainly always be in my heart, but I am still selfish enough to also want him in my arms too. So very sad....

    I am saying a prayer for Gracie, I know how much you love her and you really don't need to lose her so soon after losing Buddy cat. After what I just went through, you know that I know what you are feeling right now. So so sorry to hear this.

    Thank you for your kind words, it hurts so much to think I will never be able to hold him and comfort him again, at least not in this lifetime.
