My Phoebe had passed away...

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Now she's pain free and playing up at the Bridge with many other animals. You'll meet again some day. I know you're not ready yet but hopefully some time in the future you'll be able to adopt another cat. I know that when I've lost my furkids, it's always helped me to adopt another one. You can never replace them but I've found that it helps with the grieving process. RIP sweet Phoebe. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Rhonda, I definitely can understand how you feel about Phoebe's last moments b/c I experienced the same thing w/my cat Boo. He was 18 1/2 when I had him PTS just before Thanksgiving. He was such a luvvie, laid back, cool cat but he hated being fussed with. He loved to cuddle and snuggle but getting groomed, giving meds, etc., no way if he could help it. When my vet administered the shot to help Boo relax, Boo cried out very loudly b/c the shot stung and Boo was so bony b/c he had bladder cancer; he was barely 7 lbs. and at one time he was a big, strapping alpha male black cat. I, too, think of his eyes and the sound he made and wish that I could have spared him that pain and I'm so sorry that I caused it but he would've gone through more pain for a long time if I hadn't had him PTS. So I look at what I did as an act of kindness and I know that my Boo forgives me. It's getting easier as the days go by, too. Please know that we all here feel for you. RIP, sweet Phoebe and peace to your mom.

Btw, when you're ready, you'll have love to give to another kitty some day and you'll see Phoebe's love for you in that kitty's eyes. No one can ever replace Phoebe but her love lives on.

Most, if not all, of us feel your pain and sorrow. Phoebe was much loved. RIP, sweet girl. Send a message to your mommie that you are now pain free, awaiting your reunion.

I'm so sorry to hear about Phoebe. She was cherished. Just keep your memories of her and you. They'll make you smile.

I lost my MooShoo 1 year ago on Sunday, my 57th birthday. It still hurts.

We are so sorry to hear about Your Dear Friend Phoebe.
She sadly was not all that old a Cat, but the sad fact is that many of us have lost Cats much sooner than we ever expected to.
Phoebe had a very good life with you, she had the best of both worlds a garden to play in, and a home where she was so loved.
Phoebe will be Cat Angel of honor at Captain Bobs in Hawaii tonight, and we bet that she will invite many City Angels to be her Garden so they can fly and play and run about. Phoebe is such a Treasure
And Phoebe will look for that special place where you will be reunited in love.
One Fine Day

I am so sorry your beloved Phoebe passed away. I understand your pain and sadness at her loss. I am sorry her end was not a calm one but try to remember that she is no longer in pain. I am sure you have many great wonderful memories of good times with her. She doesnt blame you for anything I am sure. Maybe one day you will open your heart to another cat, not to replace Phoebe, but to have a cat to love. I know Phoebe will always be in your heart. I nearly forgot; I went to COTD and read about Phoebe and I recall reading about her when she was COTD. She was very pretty. Take care, Kay in NC USA

Thank you for your lovely words of kindness and I really wish with all my heart that she doesn't blame me. I will eventually hope to adopt or have them adopt me but maybe a little later. Yes we did have happy times and she certainly could be a handful with such a spirited disposition but that's what I loved about her, and thank you we thought she was a pretty girl too. All the best to you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and I know you do really know how I'm feeling at the moment. That's the one thing I can't stop thinking about is that Phoebe won't forgive for what I did.
It is so heart-warming to know so many people care about what happened to both Phoebe and me. Thank you again Medusa.
