I'm sitting here in front of my computer with tears in my eyes after reading how your sweet, and very special, Thai had passed, and how Saturn is mourning him. I find it hard to add much more, after reading the kind and loving comments, and suggestions, of our friends here, Nothing will ever take the place of Thai in your hearts, or Saturn's, but you can fill that terrible, empty void he left with his passing. I, too, urge you to try to fill that void as quickly as possible with a neutered male Siamese kitty. Thai passed way too early. I, too, know what loss is, far too much but my pain isn't important here but rather yours. I'm so sorry for your loss of Thai. I have never seen such a dark Sealpoint before. His appearance was not only striking with those beautiful blue eyes but also handsome. You could tell he was a boy kitty and a very intelligent one, too. How blessed you were, and still are for, although you lost Thai, you didn't lose his wonderful memories. I don't know how you are but I have problems thinking very much or dwelling on my lost kitty or puppy dog. I want the precious memories but I just can't think on them very much at first. If I do, I sit and cry like a child at times. Loss devastates me and I'm still mourning over the loss of a much-beloved kitty, a preciously sweet female named "Dixie Lynn" and of my best high school buddy who did for himself, the reasons of which I won't get into here. I just can't think much of either right now and it's been nearly two years. I'm so slow to heal, which is why I urged you to fill the void quickly. Maybe it's because I'm disabled and can't get out and work to pass the time, thereby having more time on my hands to think. I have prayed a LOT for my Lord to help heal the wounds and He does. It just takes time. I gently urge you to be patient...
One other thing I would urge here- please do not create any "shrines" for your kitty. Some folks, whether with a pet or a loved one, will not move things that were touched by the one who has passed or will keep the toys out from the kitty or puppy dog. To me, it just keeps the wound raw and open. Whatever you do, though,is up to you. I just wanted to suggest that.
I pray the Lord heals the wounds in your hearts, all of you involved, including your beloved Saturn, who is also a very handsome kitty. I pray that somehow, some way, you are led to someone who has just the right kitty for you. He will help fill the void and also give you something different to think of. I think it would especially help Saturn, once he got over the little hissy things most kitties go through when a newcomer first shows up.
Again, dear friends, I'm sorry for your loss. May you feel better soon and may all your heart dreams, whatever they may be, come true for you. That is my wish for you. Please know that all my words for you were given in love, even if they fall short or don't match up with your own desires. I just pray you all, including dear Saturn, feel better soon...
My love to you all in my Lord,
