This thread is hard for me to start but I want to memorialize The Best Cat There Ever Was. For 1 month shy of 11 years she was truly the center of my life. My household that entire time has been just me, and her. She was basically like my daughter.
And she truly was, The Best Cat There Ever Was. I cannot fathom a cat better than her. She was well behaved, very smart, knew and respected all my wants and needs, knew what was expected of her, and everything else you could want in a cat. If my future cats are 80% what she was, that would be spectacular.
And of course, she was beautiful and adorable.
Words cannot describe how empty my house (and soul) are right now. I walk around my house and there is cat furniture everywhere, newspapers on the floor just for her, boxes for her to sleep in, and a million other accommodations I made in this house, all just for her. There is probably almost as much stuff in my house I have for her, as there is stuff for me. But she, herself, is gone.
Below is the very first picture I took of her, on September ‎06, ‎2009.
When I first got her, I named her Marina, which is a name I thought of when I was taking her home, and I came up with the name because I was working in a building that held the offices for a marina, and she was hanging out around the building that day. But as I goof I nick-named her "Stupid" because I'd thought it would be funny to be able to say, "Hey, stupid," which was a goofy thing I'd thought of years earlier. But after a couple months or so it became clear she was most definitely NOT stupid and I started feeling guilty for calling her that. So eventually I stopped it and just started calling her "Kitty" or "Kitty the Cat."
And then the very last pic I took of her, yesterday at 3:03pm, an hour before her final appointment at the vet. I took about 6 final photos of her yesterday, so glad I did.
Run free at the Rainbow Bridge, Kitty the Cat. Words cannot describe how much I miss you.
Thank you for sharing her with us. I can't imagine the pain of your loss. I know you two had a great bond and you may have other cats and you will love them, but there will only ever be one Kitty the Cat. I'm so sorry she's gone.
You have my sympathies. Losing a loved pet is very hard, I have been there myself. You know you gave her the best home and she loved you back. I hope you adopt another in her honor because, unfortunately, there are so many more who are in need. Thank you for sharing her with us.
I'm so sorry for you having to say goodbye to Kitty the Cat. They bring so much joy into our lives, but it is so touch when the time comes and they are gone. It has been two years and I still miss Hobbes, my big ginger guy, my buddy. But then we opened our home to Cindy Lou, our ginger girl and she makes us laugh every day with her antics. Their memory remains forever, but time will make it better.
Very sorry for your loss. Cats are the best. I've been in your position. We lost a cat in 2007 and it still stings, frankly, no other can compare.
I hope you feel better!! Sorry again, that's very tough.
