Goodbye, dear friend

**itself** · 07-26-2010, 07:56 AM

A big hug to you for your loss....everytime I lose one of my kitties I swear it is like someone tore my heart right out of my chest. I too do not have a loving family, and our four cats provide so much companionship.

Take care, and remember, if you ask her to let you know if she is ok, she will give you a sign. All my passed cats have always given me a sign when I ask...

I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sad... it's so hard to let our furry ones go. Sophie had a loving family. You can't ask for more than that. Treasure your memories of her. Feisty... I like that word.

I'm so glad she had you.

**NbyNW** · 07-26-2010, 08:08 AM

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like Sophie was an amazing companion.

I am sorry for your loss, our fur-babies do worm their way into our hearts, that is for sure. I do not have a loving family either so I know just how she fit into your heart and home. Thankfully she had 14 good years with you, and what is it about the feisty ones!

I'm glad she had you by her side. I'm certain she would know you were there for her no matter how sick she was.

Oh, how I hope she gives me a sign....

I do feel like God was looking out for us, and my TE family played a part in it. Catrin and I had plans to ride some hills on Friday afternoon that we cancelled late in the week because of the heat. I decided to take the day off anyway, so I was home when it became clear that Sophie was in distress. I'm so thankful to have been here for her. The irony of Catrin's name is not lost on me either.

Thanks for all the kind words, ladies. I appreciate them so very much.

You did the right thing, I have no doubt. A gentle hug to you.

**bambu101** · 07-26-2010, 09:45 AM

I am so sorry. I know she will always have a special place in your heart.

So sorry Indysteel! It is soooo hard to lose our little furry friends. Your kitty had a very loving home

So sorry for your loss. Know that Sophie will be greeted at the Rainbow bridge by other TE kitties. And that these little fur babies leave paw prints on our hearts.

**badger** · 07-26-2010, 10:43 AM

it's so hard to say goodbye to a loyal friend. You did so much for her, much more than most people would!

I'm really sorry for your loss.

I like the idea of Sophie hanging out with her own set of TE friends. And I agree, they do leave little paw prints on our hearts. They're pretty darn amazing.

I'm so sorry. I went through a similar thing with my kitty a couple years ago. We had the radioactive treatment done in the spring for his thyroid. It worked great on that, but his kidneys had already started to fail. In the fall, we lost him to kidney disease. He had been the only constant thing in my life for 12 years. It was awful. I'm really sorry.
