    ....but I am in a world of hurt.

    I know this will pass. I know Ted had a wonderful, long life. He was king of the neighbourhood and still a mama's boy. He had every advantage we could give him. He was old enoug to drive.

    All of that does not make it easier to say goodbye to him. We'll miss him terribly.

    Hugs and butterflies to all of you, especially those who have recently lost dear ones.

    The butterflies are within you.

    Oohhh Lbtc!!

    I'm feeling for you, yes I am! I still come home and immediately look for abby.
    I imagine it will be the same with Ted...
    Many hugs and a SWARM of flutterbys for you!!
    Hopefully abby was right there to introduce Ted to some new friends.
    Sigh...

    I'm sooooooo sorry. Old enough to drive. That's old for a kitty but it doesn't make it any easier.

    Take care.

    I'm so sorry for you. Nothing will make it better but time. We lost our little guy about 9 months ago, and while I can sympathize, there is nothing that I can say that will make it hurt less. Big hugs to you. And in time, you'll remember more of the good times, and less of the hurt. It will happen. But my heart goes out to you. *hugs.

    Thank you for being a good human to your kitty As I said today, he'll tell all the kitties at the rainbow bridge about the cool lady & guy he had as human friends. All the other kitties are going to be jealous!

    Take care & yukon sends a doggie kiss!

    Branwen the dog will be there to great Ted the Cat. Branwen's nice and polite and knows how to be around kitties - no chasing unless the kitty starts it.

    My sister sent me a butterfly yard sculpture on a stick (prettier than I'm able to describe) that marks Branwen's grave.

    Lots of hugs and butterflies to you!

    I am so sorry. I know what it's like and there is nothing really that can be said. I still see my two cats sometimes and I still cry if I talk about it though it's been a year.

    You will be in my thoughts.

    oh... I hurt for you too. I bet Ted was a wonderful companion and a bundle of entertainment and joy. It's never easy to say goodbye to those we love... hugs. Winston and Gabi are at the bridge playing with Ted too...
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
