well, its been a hard month....my Rusty cat was diagosed with lung cancer 2/25 and died 3/26. so numb i haven't logged into calguns for days. it is amazing how much love we give and receive from our fur babies and how much it hurts when they die....but if it didn't hurt, then there really wasn't much love. and i can tell you this hurts like a ----er ----er. i've been through it before but its something i never get used to...... ashes to ashes, dust to dust, but forever alive and loved in my heart: RIP Rusty.

We lost our boy at 18 1/2 years...the last 2 with CRF, requiring sub-Q fluids daily.
It is almost a year and my wife still feels the pain.
If Rusty is your avatar, he will live on...

Yeah, I love my cats more than I love most humans (they are smarter than most humans too).
They are never forgotten. You have my thoughts.WTB: multiautomatic ghost gun with a .30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. Must include shoulder thing that goes up.

Awww...so sorry to hear.
It's heartbreaking when it happens and you are out of sorts for quite some time. It sounds like the kitty had a great life with you and will be well rememberedComment

avatar is Brita.......and she is alive and well....athough obese.
Rusty was a stray that came down the hillside in 2001...he was about 9 months old, beat up, and unneutered. i scooped him up in my arms on 3/20 and brought him in. he had a lot of dog type traits....come to the door to greet us, got between me and the other cats if there was a snit fit going on, etc. he was a really really good cat.....almost died a year ago with surgery complications and i believe we got an extra year with him which helps tremendously right now.
thank you for your understanding and thoughts.....i had him cremated and his urn sits with 5 others. i miss each and every one of them.
used to have 9 cats....now only 3. very very strange.
and Spikey cat was devastated by the loss of Rusty...actually tried to get under him to get him to get up."The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."-- as seen on a t-shirt

Yeah sorry to hear that. My golden retriever is well into old age, and I feel he could be going any day now. Grieving is normal, just take it as it comes and he'll always live on. Sadly I agree with kaligaran, I'm almost more sympathetic with pets than most people.My Arsenal:

Mossberg 500 Tactical Persuader 12 gauge pump.

Glock 17

Sorry to hear about your loss. Sometimes when my lil kitty pissed me off I want to give her away (she has a habit of urinating on my bed) then again she cuddles with me when I'm asleep and melts my heart. Now I think about it how sad ill be when she leaves me for good. But I'm sure your kitty left you to s of good memories to smile about.Comment

So sorry to hear about your loss. As others mentioned, I love our furry friends more than most people, and I know how hard it can be.Comment

Rusty sounded a lot like my red tabby Tommy -- loving, loyal, fiercely protective, sweet. Can hardly believe Tommy's been gone almost 5 years.
Rusty and you had a tough past year. And his death too soon. Still I bet if he could have meowed in English, he would have said sharing his 11 years of life with you was the best present you gave him.
Take good care of yourself in your time of sorrow and loss. Hugs to you too, kiddo!x

I'm so sorry to hear of you loss.
I wouldn't trade the joy of having them even knowing that there would be pain one day of parting. There are special ones over the years that remain so very special, although we love them all so much, and they become more than a pet, but very much a family member in our household. Yet some of our four-legged family members were and are indeed very special indeed, and the tie that binds remains.
Again, I'm sorry to hear of your current pain, I wish you furry love from the rest of your household.Comment

Brita's Momma, so sorry for the loss of your Rusty Kitty! People that love animals are generally amazing people...our animals love us so UNCONDITIONALLY and we are blessed to have them in our lives. My big black fur ball is laying here on my desk in front of me snoring...Gotta love em!

One thing I've done with the dogs and cats I've lost is framed a picture of them with their collar underneath.
Gives me something to look back and smile on everyday before I leave my place.The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.Comment
