Rest in peace

They are never with us long enough.

We're not supposed to have 'favorite' children, but our second cat was clearly the one who became dearest to me. She only lived about 10 years, and we're not sure what she died from (vet. medicine was a long way from what it is today). I still miss her, and sometimes feel like I'm "cheating" with other cats.

She was a gray tabby, too.

The way to fix it, if it could be fixed, would've cost thousands.

I hear it's the same with kids

They die too early

And that's only if any medical treatment worked.

What a beautiful kitty. I'm so sorry for your loss.

We just lost our sweet Zekey boy.

I've been there myself three times over.

I lost a kitty 3 years ago and haven’t been able to get another one. And a few days after she passed I swear I saw her dashing about our home in the corner of my eye.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Scoutie. Such a beautiful baby.

We're never ready to send these little rascals across the rainbow bridge.

So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry.......R.I.P., Scoutie

May your memories keep you.

My "Baby Girl" was with me for 17 years. She passed in 2024.
Found as an abandon kitten in my driveway. She was joy in my life. Took me a year to get over her passing. But she is always with me even though I adopted two 5 year olds last year.

Peace be with you and know Scoutie will always be with you.

bring you joy in the years ahead.

Sorry for your loss.

It's a hard one. Peace to you. RIP Scoutie!

I know well how painful the loss is.

so very hard, I know.

RIP, Scoutie, and condolences to you.

They are so precious in our lives. I wish our lifespans were better matched. May your heart find healing and comfort in the memories of the journey you and Scoutie shared.

They're family.

Hugs!

I'm sure you miss him already. Sorry he had to go.🌈

Scoutie was a beautiful cat.

my kitties are such a comfort and source of joy.
The loss of your sweet baby is something I understand so well …

It is so hard to lose a family member.

God,

May you welcome Scoutie into your loving arms and grant him eternal peace. May you send him all our love until we meet again.

Amen

I’m sure you gave Scoutie a good life. His leaving will make your home feel empty and there will be a hole left in your heart where he resided, until when the time is right the cat distribution system will send you another fur kid to fill it up again.

I am so, so sorry, sakabatou. We just lost my soul cat, Bellatrix, in March at age 18. I know she'll be there to meet your baby. Sending love, light, understanding and hugs.

Especially that you had to make the decision. Do remember there is no informed consent with Veterinary care so it is often wise to spare possibly unproductive trauma.

They take a piece of our heart with them when they leave, don't they?

Thank you for giving Scoutie a home and safety. (From a cat rescuer).

I extend to you my condolences. I know you're heartbroken. My heart breaks for you. Scoutie was a beautiful cat who I'm sure brought you much joy and happiness over the years. I hope your memories of Scoutie will eventually bring you comfort and peace.

Lean on your DU family if you need to. We are always here for you.

With sympathy,

RIP, dear Scoutie. You were much loved.

I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is the worst. Several years ago, I lost my cat, Miss Wampus, to a sudden illness. I still miss her.

What a sweet baby

I will be thinking of you all.

I know how hard it is to lose a fur-baby!
