My Cat is Gone

I'm so very sorry. (((HUGS)))

((((((Velocivixen))))) Am so sorry, there is a hole where our fur-babies used to be.

Aww, he looks like such a cuddly baby. I'll give both of mine a hug and a treat in his honor. It's so tough to lose them but he had a great mama.

Thank you all so much for sharing and support.
I finally decided to go for a slow, leisurely ride this warm evening just to get out of the house. I must say that my legs felt like lead like my bike just wouldn't go. I even stopped and checked to make sure I didn't have a flat tire. Now I'm back, I am aching and sore all over my body, especially my legs.
When my mom died suddenly 18 years ago I was so shocked that I really couldn't cry for about one year! During that time I experience 24 hour, non-stop pain all over my body from my neck down. It was only when I was able to start having "real" cries that the pain slowly went away, until one day I was pain free! It seems that I somehow hold in my grief, and it manifests as physical pain.
I guess I better have a good cry. I haven't even been married 17 years. Theodore is the one being who has been with me the longest (other than parents).

Velocivixen,

Do have a good cry. There is nothing wrong to cry when your pet, well more than JUST a pet, he was your family member, passed away of ripe old age. He had a wonderful long life. 18 years is a very old age. His old age is a testament to how you loved and cared for Theodore.

Remember the good times and cherish the memories.

Peace be with you. and have many good cries.

Yes cry! I bawl when I loose a furry friend so does my big tough hubby. If they on;y lived as long as we do! (((((hug))))) adopting is good but give yourself time to heal.
