I just wanted to check on you and see how you are feeling. I know you heart is still broken over your precious Lily, but I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you. The healing process takes time.

@Georgiagrama, Thank you so much for thinking of me. I am definitely doing better. Much less crying, but still feeling sad.

We both miss her so much. You know, the routines and such.

I get up quite early, and Lily would have breakfast and cuddle with me. DH came for breakfast later, same thing with him. You know the drill. I am trying just to feel so grateful for her.

All the pet things are put away, except for the big cat tree in the FR.

I am very close to my dear brother. One day he told me that people who have had near death experiences and have come back have seen both beloved people and their pets on the other side. I know that Lily is safe, free from pain, and feeling loved.

It is just so sweet and touching that you remembered me. Again, thank you and bless you for being so caring.

Your friend,

Pam

@PamfromCT

I am keeping you in my heart and prayers. You know my story of how and why we acquired our sweet shelter kitty, Smokey. We call her Baby and love her dearly, but I can tell you, we both still cry when we look at our beloved lab Buddy's bed and toys. It's been 9 months since we lost him. Losing our precious pets is a grief all it's own.

Prayers for your hurting heart my sweet, fellow pet lover.

Ah, Pam ~ so comforting to see you and for me hearing that you are doing a little better when I read this.
I do know how emotionally upset when KittieCream was no longer on my shoulder,even though we had her for those short seven months.
What was worse than crying was touching her new sprinkling water system that she could not ,,,,,,,, ..BUT TRIED to drink from one Entire day standing, just trying. I though I could never make it through the day until we finally got her to the veterinarian clinic.
That had to have been extreme torture for me to endure beyond most situations I have faced.
Touching her few toys ( she never knew how how to play) was extremely painful, especially her high 8 foot kitty tree house right in front of the large wide dining room window.
She never once wanted to sit or lie in it because of her former home of 10 years, she must have stayed with her owner (we are assuming) in bed every minute of her life until someone in the family surrendered her on her 10th birthday.
We suspect the owner must have been bedridden, a nursing home, or had died.
".... Thus, believing the family just got rid of her after --that__"?
She was well taken care of but knew absolutely nothing other than a large bed or being held, clinging every single minute. She never knew what outside meant or looked. @dooBdoo helped me so much with sprays that calms cats down to sleep that I became so upset and was struggling, I even snapped back at Doobs.
To this day, I still believe it was the patient's family's knowledge that she was becoming ill and left her at the shelter- probably due to her advancing mouth symptoms | cancer| which developed into squamous cell carcinoma, within 3 months. The veterinarian told us after the biopsy, the cancer cells metastasized quickly.

On a brighter note,'was' when Sashay just left her owner the day after KittieCream was released from pain, Sashay came over and never left..... after being with her owner at age eight.
She took to the 'her' kitty tree and loves it.

STRANGEST 'THING' I have ever witnessed having one fur babe leaving, and out of no where come this beautiful little life into ours and never wanted to go back.
And! We tried ever solution! With all options that we could. She never came here that often when living happily with her owner before.

so very happy to see you.
I have not been here since the 22nd. I will touch base this week to you, or you to me.

  Lovingly, my dear friend, to Pam from NAES

@PamfromCT

Love to @dooBdoo , always~

Hello my dear friend @NAES1, I am so happy you are here. Yes, how I remember how your tender heart was broken with all you went through with KittieCream. It really tore my heart out hearing about it.

Yes, there are some pretty mean people out there. Years ago I adopted Snowball from a shelter. She was found outside near a dumpster in our NE weather. She was old, thin, no teeth, but I wanted her. She only lived a few years, but oh how she loved being loved.

I am so thrilled for you that you have Sashay in your lives. What a lucky little kitty she is! It does not erase what you went through before, but I know that baby has filled your heart with joy.

Thank you so much for thinking of me and for your kind words. DH told me last night, “We should get another kitty.”

He is suffering, too. I said no, way too soon.

But who knows what the future will bring.

Love and hugs,

Pam
