Our cat passed away this morning

[Diddy]

Last cat I had we knew she was dying. I remember staying up all night keeping her company tell she died early in the morning. I just remember not wanting her to go alone.

Thanks for posting your cats' picture on your report of the passing. Always tough to be one short of your family. We had a brown tabby that looked just like yours for 17 years during the 60's and 70's. Only difference was she had white paws- hence her name- Mittens. Our daughter had a tabby that looked exactly like your cat. Name was Zeke- short for Ezekiel, the book in the Bible.

The only suggestion that I can give is just to be very grateful for all the love that was expressed between you all over the years you were together. That never passes away. There is one Life, that Life is eternal Life, and that Life is our Life. And, that includes Mau Mau.

Thanks. Today has been hell. We've tried distracting ourselves with movies and TV but everything reminds us of her. I'm ashamed to admit that I've lost count of the amount of times today I've just broken down and sobbed.

Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of JC. Hubby has done it everytime we have lost one of our little fur buddies. It's always hard. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks all. The wife and I took off work today, which was a good decision. It was tough this morning, as Mau pokes us... would poke us, around 6am for food and belly rubs. I called the rescue place where we got her to let them know that she had a good life and was a blessing to us, though she went young. We've had all the closets open yesterday and today since Mau loved to burrow into closets and blankets and make caves.

Enjoy the time you have with family, friends, pets, etc. They can be gone in an instant. I know that sounds corny but its very true.
