Dear LeStat's Mommy;
Last June I had to do the same thing to my beloved cat "Kai" - she was 18 years old. I thought I would never stop crying. Like yours, she was fine one minute and then went downhill very fast. I still see her in my peripheral vision lying in her favorite spots. She knew when I was upset and would come and lie on my chest and purr.Through the years I have lost both my father and my mother yet, did not grieve them like I did with Kai. She used to clean one of my Yorkie's face every day. She would hold Emily down with one paw and groom her. I called her "second Mommy".
What helped me was to enlarge a picture to an 8"by10" and frame it. I have her here with me in the living room and she is on my screen saver. She was an awesome cat and I know exactly how you feel.
I wish you the best. |
