[...] trust you all remember my sweet cat Athena, who I lost back in December. She had an undetected heart murmur and despite the vet’s best [...]

I couldn’t stop crying as I read your post. Reading this brought back so many memories of my own kitties that have passed on and I remember how painful and heart wrenching it was for me. Our pets are family, and are missed and mourned like any close (human) family member when they pass on. My heart goes out to you. Do take some comfort in knowing that while Athena had an unfairly short life, her life was wonderful. Every cat should be so lucky as to be loved so dearly.

Thank you so much for sharing a glimpse of her with all of us. Just by looking at the pictures of her I can tell that she was very happy and much loved. Rest in peace Athena.

Jerry is right Athena is playing with my Batgirl across the Rainbow Bridge. I’m sorry, and I know how you’ll miss her.

Sorry to hear about your baby, darling! I know how painful it is to lose a pet/child, mine are much the same way and I can only imagine what you’re going through. *hugs and kisses*

There are no words that actually help. I’ve had multiple pets die in childhood… but I have yet to have any of my *own* cats go. We have a cat with seizures, he went to the ER vet a few months ago, worried me sick! He’s finally gone over a month with no seizures (he’s on phenobarbital and just 2 and a half years old.) It sucks. It sucks so much. I don’t know what I’ll do when one our cats dies, I won’t handle it well and my husband probably won’t handle it at all!

I’m so sorry for your loss.

This made me cry, because my cat Lucy is my baby girl too and I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to her. :(

We had to have a few family pets put to sleep in the past few years. My mum took it really hard when we had to have our Chow put down, she was my mums fur baby. So I definitely know how hard it is to lose a pet that is so important to you.

*hug*

I am so saddened to read of your loss. It’s amazing how these little ones embed themselves in our hearts and become so much more than mere pets. Athena knew how much you loved her, try to let go of any guilt you may feel and just hold onto the sweetness of her memory.
