Blackey

[Catty1]

Prayers and condolences to you, Thomas. I still remember a black cat I had; he was put down when I was 13, and I am 53 now. He was MY cat, and I grieved horribly.

Now, he is a special memory...and I pray a guardian angel for me.

Blackey, send purrs to Thomas in his sleep and let him know you are healthy and free again.

I'm sorry to hear about Blackey. He sounds like he was a wonderful loving cat. I don't know if you've heard of Rainbow Bridge or not but here's a link about it and at the bottom they also have a link for pet loss grief support:http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/rainbowb.htm. I had a black cat named Pepper and he became very ill and I had to put him down when he was almost 6 years old so I feel your pain. Usually indoor only cats live to at least 10 years old or much longer. I'm sure that Blackey knows how much you loved him and he'll live in your heart forever. RIP sweet boy.

My blackie Boo is sitting on my lap right now as I type. He's 18. I know how lucky I am to still have him. I rescued him and his sister Peeka together and she died at the age of 14. Age 6 is way too young to lose them but you did everything right and all you could to give Blackey a good, loving home and the time that he had w/you was quality time for sure. It's never easy to lose one of our furkids no matter their age, I know. Boo lost his girlfriend and best bud Pidgie just last week. I had to have her put to sleep and she was 21 1/2 years old and Boo hasn't been the same since and neither have I. You're right, the house just isn't the same. I feel so bad for you; I know how you're hurting and the only thing that will help to heal the hurt is time. Just know that you did the last act of kindness for Blackey and he loves you even more for it b/c you didn't allow him to suffer. RIP, sweet Blackey and peace to your humans.

You are not putting a damper on our New Year Thomas , this is a site where we know that as many good times we have with Our Cats , there is a time when we have to say goodbye.
Your Blackey had a very good life with you and your family , and was so beloved and he certainly was a Lucky Cat to have a place where he was warm and fed as there are so many Lost Pets who will never know that life.
Blackey reminds me of Tubby 2 named after famed Tubby Angel , the Black Stray who was a Found Cat for about a year before I found him very weak and hardly moving.
He passed on as I was calling My Vet and he was taken to My Vets Clinic where his ashes were interred by the Wishing Well of Prayer where blessings are invoked for the Pets who are interred there.
Tubby 2 , Ebony Beau and Ebonite will be waiting at the Pristine Cove tonight and will be the first to greet Blackey as he arrives for the picnic and then the All Night Party in his honor at the Tensing Pen Hotel where Blackey will receive the first room service platter of his choice.
And Blackey will search and search untii he finds that very special place where you will be reunited in love.
One Fine Day

Thomas, I know your pain very well. It always hurts terribly to lose them! Time helps the pain, but you never forget them. That is because the love you shared never dies. I believe you will meet again and on that day, the joy will exceed the pain of your parting. Hang in there, Blackey is healthy and happy now and will fill you in on all of his adventures when he sees you again!

I am so very sorry for you and your family, Thomas. What a sad way to meet the new year.

Rest in peace, Blackey. You are greatly loved and grieved.

Thomas I am sending my thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. 6 is not old at all but Tigger was only 5 when he died so I know the feeling. You did the right thing in coming here. When Tigger died it hurt real bad. But my faith,family and this board helped me and my mother through the difficult period. I still miss Tigger and wishes that he was still here. But Tigger is in a better place and I hope that Tigger is showing Blackey around. This site also helped http://www.rainbowbridge.com/Poem.htm

I'm sorry about Blacky. We have a black cat named Sophie. We've only had her for about 3 years. I agree though, 6 years is way too short for a cat. It's hard losing them. My brother has a cat named Jasmine and he's had her about 4 years. She came up missing about 3-4 months ago and still hasn't come back home. We don't know what happened to her. So, it's really hard losing something you love... Nothing anyone can say is gonna help the void you feel from losing Blacky. The only thing that will help some is time. I'm really sorry
