I am so sorry for your loss. I completely understand how much you miss your cat. Please take it easy, and give yourself plenty of quiet time. Grieving is very stressful, and it's important to take good care of yourself.
Keeping you in my heart, thoughts & prayers.
God Bless.

Know there are people here who understand and will help support you.
It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.
There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us
It's the bridge that we call love.

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Take care of yourself, drink lots of relaxing teas, and light some candles and incense. I too lost my first dog a couple of years ago while I was in a flare, and it made things 10x worse - so I can relate a lot to your words.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

Sorry about your pain.

We got him for my dd's tenth birthday and when she moved out she couldn't bear to take him away from her little brother and me.
Our other two fur-babies miss him to.
I am so very sorry for your LOSS.
When I was still living at home we had to do that as our beloved ginger was very ill and my mom and dad were very upset and didn't want him to suffer anymore. (inoperable tumour)
My little sister was devastated.
My heart goes out to you and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
We understand.

Last Christmas my husband took me to the APA shelter and let me pick out a new kitty. I prayed that we would get one as loving as Ben.
Sammy is a 4 yr. old Siamese/Persian mix. She is precious.
Warm gentle hugs to you!
