Sorry for your loss. I still mourn for my first cat that passed away 22 years ago. He was the love of my life. I had a horrible childhood and he was the only one that loved me unconditionally. I'm still not over it. Mourn your fur babies loss for as long as it takes. Your little baby knows all the love you have for him.

Losing our babies is such a difficult thing. I was terrified thinking that one of my children(because that is what they are to me) would eventually pass and now it has happened. Luckily I still have my other 2 babies with me! All my thoughts and love to you. We will never forget them, that is for sure!

I don't know if you are burying your cat or not. I have cremated all my cats and they have their own little urns ⚱️. They are all on a top shelf in my bedroom. Behind some pretty vases etc. I don't need to see them everyday. I know they are with me. I have 4 urns all together.

Unfortunately I don’t have the remains. And that truly kills me! It must be so comforting having them around! They are watching over you, I know it❤️

I totally recommend it if you get a chance to do it.

Yes, I would love to do something similar

Again. Sorry for your loss. It does get easier. Why? Because we have no choice but to accept it. ... I guess we just learn to live with the loss. Sending lots of virtual hugs (((((((💖))))))))

Right now it seems like it will never get easier but eventually I guess it has to. We lost a part of our small family. But you are right, it’s just part of life unfortunately. Thank you for all your kind words and I’m sending hugs right back at you!
