...Goodbye to my fuzzy buddy....

[GNTLGNT]

...again, you have all brought a tear to my eye-but in a good way...the searing pain has lessened, and the tears don't burn as badly...to some, it may seem maudlin that we are so affected by a cat...but in his short two years, he purred his way into our hearts...simple soul, but pure love...

I know from sad experience how hard it is to lose a four legged family member. So my thought are with all of you. When our cat Furry died the three of us moped around the house for days. Eventually we went to the local shelter and filled the kitty shaped hole in our family. We never for get Furry, but Callie is a wonderful addition and I hope eventually you get a wonderful new edition, too.

I am not ashamed that I cry when I have to say goodbye to one of my furry family members. I am not ashamed or embarrassed when I see others shed tears for their own furry friends. It is an honor that tears are shed for them as they are a piece of our heart. Cry away, Scott. Be proud of those tears.

 

[TrueGeneration]

Oh, no
I'm so sorry for your loss, GNTLGNT
My thoughts to you and your family--it's hard losing a pet.

You see now, anyone thinking that would really piss me off. When you live with an animal, interact every day, make them part of everyone's life and fully involve them in family activities, they are a full member of the family and leave a family member sized hole when they are gone.

We all hold on to our furbabies, but they go before us oftentimes..... short temporal lives, long eternal existences.....

 

[Demeter]

I am so very sad to hear this. Sending you many, many hugs.

 

[Out of Order]

Each and every pet is dear. Sorry to hear about this, Giant. I can tell from your heartfelt words that Calvin had a very happy home and was well loved. You're a good man.

I wish I could give you and Tracy and Harrison hugs in person. Its so hard when you lose a furry member of your family - pets are supposed to live for forever. Calvin thanks you for giving him a happy life

 

[Becks19]

Scott and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Many hugs, thoughts and prayers being sent to your family. Rest in peace sweet kitty.

 

[Sarah25]

I'm very sorry for the loss of your family pet.

I'm so sorry (((Scott))). I'm wiping away tears myself as I know the pain losing a pet brings but hold the memories of the times you shared with him, however short, knowing he was loved and returned that love in kind.

 

[mal]

Sorry for your loss.

 

[GNTLGNT]

...words are but a poor substitute for how I truly feel, reading all the care and concern...we all thank you...the circle will be completed again, but not for a bit...we leave it open, much as the Armed Forces do with their "missing Man" formations....there will be a kitty duo again, but right now-our other kitty. Ms. Pink, is soaking up the extra attention and basking in it....

 

[Jojo87]

I am so sorry to hear this Scott! Prayers being said.

 

[king family fan]

Scott Iam so sorry. Losing a fury family member is very hard.

Now that is one non stressed cat in that picture, good parenting=happy pet and that cat is happy. He's somewhere now eating cat nip and endless tuna and regaling the other cats with stories about his Dad the Giant who took great care of him and played with him and loved him. They may think it's a tall tale(see what I did there?)but the stories are wonderful because he had such a good life. At least that's what I like think they do.
I'm very sorry for your loss Scott and for your family too. He was probably one of the luckiest cats that ever lived

...bless you all...yeah, he was loved...he would climb up on my lap, as you see in the picture and just assume crash position-then we he woke up-there was the obligatory tickle, wrassle and claw match...best part was, when I went to bed...he would crawl up on my chest, wrap his paws around my hand and go to sleep...
