Morris, my cat of about 9 years, died yesterday. He was an outdoor farm cat.  I think the cold weather was finally too much for him and he got sick.

He's been a lot of company to me over the years and I'm going to miss him like a friend.  It's strange how he could sense when I was down and come rub up against my leg.  It's like he thought I needed some tender loving care. He had a great personality. I love him with all my heart.

It won't be the same without him.

Goodbye, Morris.

    I am so sorry about your beautiful cat, Morris.  I lost my siamese last year do to a urinary tract infection, and not a day goes by that I don't think about "my little bit".

    (((hugs)))

    Infernal,

    Dee,
    Thank you.  Pets become a part of the family.

    I'm really sorry about your cat :-( Losing a pet is like losing a part of the family. I sympathize with you. He was definitely a pretty cat....

    {hugs} CW. It hurts to lose them.

    I am so sorry.  He was very handsome and obviously cared a great deal for you and you for him.  I lost a very special 8-year-old cat about 5 years ago now, and some days I still feel a little twinge in my heart for him.  Sometimes at night I get the feeling he hasn't forgotten me.  I don't know if you believe in kitty heaven, but I do, and I bet Morris will be there waiting for you. :)

    good bye Morris ~ he is in kitty heaven warm and safe.  It is something the way a cat can sense our feelings isn't it?  {{hugs}}

    Aw, CW, I'm so sorry... I know just how you feel.  I lost my three cats in the span of two years, and there's been a cat-shaped hole in my life ever since.  All I can do is offer you a {{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} and hope you'll get to where you're soon remembering the joy that he brought into your life more than the pain of losing him.  Love doesn't die.

    Alyss,
    Thank you.  Yes it does.

    nytquill,
    Thank you.  I'm sure he'll be waiting for me.

    quietone,
    Thanks.  Yes it is.  He definitely had an attitude, but he loved me most.

    kru,
    Thank you. You are right.  Love doesn't die.

    What a beautiful cat. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. But like kru said, "love doesn't die", and the memory of Morris will live on in you forever. Best wishes this holiday season! *hugs*

    I am sorry to hear about your beloved pet, also.  I know how you feel.  I could never get really attatched to another pet after I lost my "Zeus."  He was a dobi that I still miss after nearly 20 years!  He took care of me when I lived alone in the boonies--the best gaurd dog in the world, even though he was a big chicken at heart.   When a pet becomes like a member of the household, or a part of your every day life, it is hard to see them go.
  • PsychoDramaQueen said on Dec 22, 2007....
    so sorry for your loss. ((((HUGS)))) pdq

    Morris was very regal looking, CW.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Our cat "Boon", a Maine Coon, died at 18 years old.  My kids grew up with her...she was the only other girl in the house besides me.

    Her nickname was " Bathroom Rug", because she would plop down and stretch out, looking for all the world like a black and white shag rug.
  • rupert7 said on Dec 22, 2007....
    It is a sad day for sure,when a pet dies.We used to have a cat that looked just like Morris.Ours was a girl and her name was Mitzie. She was only 4 when she was run over and killed. Oh boy! .....the kids little faces when they found out!

    The cat we have now is an 11 year old girl,she is all black and her name is Ruby. Here in the study there is a cupboard under the window,and on top of the cupboard there is a bed for the cat! The bed is about 4 feet from the floor and is next to the window. Ruby spends hours lying there looking out the window. As a cat lover I know your loss.  Goodbye Morris.......

    destiny,
    Thank you.

    wombat,
    Thank you.  It is hard to see them go.

    PDQ,
    Thank you.

    Twyla,
    Thank you.  Your cat sounds like she was pretty.

    rupert,
    Thanks. I have had two puppies that got run over at different times in my life.  I know it's hard to lose them too.  Ruby sounds like a nice kitty.

    i'm so sorry to hear that CreativeWoman, our pets can be our best friends sometimes. And they can know us better than we know ourselves.  Your cat looks so knowing and beautiful. A real loving friend.

    Thank you.  He was a friend.  He was standoffish to other people, but I was his favorite thing in the world.

    Thank you.

    Go enjoy the other side for a while, Morris. But you'll be missed.

    How are you doing today?  I am thinking about you with Christmas so close.  I hope there will be some highlights in it for you.  Mine is already over.  My girls have gone to their inlaws, and JR went to KC to his daughters.  I'm here on the PC, a lot of SoulCast must be already involved in family things.

    It was so good to get to talk to you over the PC while we were holed up at our relatives, 

  • CreativeWoman said on Dec 23, 2007....
    Dee,
    I'm fine, thanks.  It was nice chatting with you too.  I hope we don't have to go through a storm like that again anytime soon. :-)  

    I had Christmas at my parents today.  I'm going to do a little post about it now.

    CW,  I'm sorry for your loss, the passing of a pet can be hard!  I still think about my buddy, Phred, my Basset hound.  Hope you aren't feeling too down, Call me?
  • CreativeWoman said on Dec 24, 2007....
    Grace,
    I missed your comment.  Forgive me.   Thank you for you kind words.

    Dee,
    A snowball fight sounds like fun.  I'll take a look.

    Racerboy,
    You know me.  I cried like a baby for a couple of days.  I really love that cat. I'm starting to feel better, but I'll always miss him.
