Hi Lisa,
I been mulling over on what to say since yesterday. Words fail me sometimes as she was truely a special cat. From the photos, you could see her love for your husband and contentment as part of your family. Loss is never easy even when she went peacefully in her sleep. She managed to live a happy wonderful life in the short time she was here.
Best to honor her life is to remember everything that was special about her. A tribute ride was a wonderful gift.
Still I am so sorry to hear of her passing.
from my cat family to yours, sincerely,
Smilingcat

There was a rainbow here yesterday after a huge thunderstorm- very symbolic and hopeful.
My sincere thanks to everyone who wrote sweet encouragement on this thread.
I happen to have a little 1950's vintage Steiff stuffed grey tabby kitten, and I put it on the top of the couch in Lydia's favorite spot to watch over all of us to make sure we be Good.
It looks kind of silly but it makes us smile when we walk by, instead of seeing the empty space.
Thanks smilingcat, I always smile at your avatar picture. It's a kitty world...we just live in it.

So true, so true.Wow, Lisa - I finally got to check this thread for an update and I'm sad to read your news. It sounds like her passing was as all cats should have it; at home, in bed and surrounded by the humans they loved the most.
So very sorry to learn of your loss. Lydia sounded like a very special cat who had very special people who loved her.

Hi Lisa,
Adding my sincere condolences to you on Lydia's passing...what a wonderful life she had in being part of your loving, caring family! I can only imagine how painful her physical absence is now; you're wise to focus on her spirit living on...so true. Best wishes for a comforting transition for you and your husband...and a well-deserved rest for that oh so very good kitty, Lydia!
Mary
