I'm sorry about your kitty. I had to put mine to sleep last Monday and man the first 3 days were rough. I miss him so much now but I'm getting better every day. You will too. It never goes away but it gets easier. The point of it all is to give your kitties the best possible life and never stop loving them. Here is my old man Stanley.

I'm sorry. Mom died that day and I cried more over my cat that died last spring. Had several cats these past decades, never felt so much as for her. (LOL, the cat, not mom.)

I’m on day 2 right now. I’ve never had the day after be worse than the day of, but yesterday was the hardest, darkest day I’ve ever experienced, even when weighed against losing a parent when I was 12. I thought I’d braced myself and prepared, but nothing could have prepared me.

The first few days were really hard for me to. It really hurts getting through everything for the first time without them. It sucks. Think about something cute your kitty did. Maybe share your favorite picture with us.

Out of the thousands I have, this has always been my favorite picture of her.

I captures her personality perfectly. She was a wonderful girl. The best.
