The last few months her health was going down hill, but I was the one who took care of her. Her special feeding, gave her all her meds - she became part of my family. It is very hard to be in my own house with out her. I look over at her place on the couch, she's not there. I check my bed in hopes to find her sleeping, again she is not there. My other 3 cats must know, they have also been "looking" for something. My one cat Jojo who has never been a lap cat, has turned into one overnight. He has been by my side ever since Saturday morning. I feel so sad and empty inside, like a piece of me is missing. I know she is in a better place and they she no longer is in pain, but it still doesn't help with the hurt. Here are some pics from her last few months:








God bless my sweet lil girl, my lil mama, my lil budbud. Know you were loved very much and missed even more!
From my heart to yours - I love you

Buddy was a very beautiful kitty. Your aunt and you were lucky to have Buddy to brighten up your lives for 18 years. I can feel your loss and sadness because four years ago on the 23 of August I lost my companion, confidante, and part of my heart Thai, a beautiful bluepoint siamese due to old age after 22 wonderful years together and it's still sad to think of her at the bridge, Buddy is there at the Rainbow Bridge now romping with Thai. RIP, sweet Buddy!
