  What an adorable face.  I'm so sorry for your loss MiMi, but I know she's in a happier place, doing what she most loves ... or being skittish to her heart's content.  I'm sure you gave her the best life she could've had, you let her be herself and do her own thing. (((((((((((HUG)))))))))

  It's so difficult Mimi. I know. And so I send huge hugs and my sympathy. woman

• pusscat said on Aug 12, 2009....

  I know it hurts darling and it will for a while cos she was a special lady just like her owner.  I use the word 'owner' lightly as we never really own them do we, they own us the little beggers.  Boy, don't they get under our skin and into our hearts so easily.  That's the way I like it.  I know she got there ok hun as Harry told me.  Cry as many tears as there are darling.

  Hugs lady, many many hugs and back rubs and tissues.

  Oh....I'm so sorry!  That must have been such a hard decision to make, but obviously the right one when she was in such pain. 

• MissMimi said on Aug 12, 2009....

  Thank you for your comments and support.  It was a hard decision to make, with lots of tears shed.  Bottom line is, though, that I couldn't allow her to suffer and die by inches.  This was far kinder in my mind. 

  My daughter and I spent some time reminiscing about some of the wonderfully cute and bratty things she used to do.  Trying to jump up on the window sill and missing -- sliding down the wall -- at nine weeks old.  Stealing the rubber non-slip decals out of the bathtub and hiding them under MimiJr's bed.  Sitting on the back of the couch behind my son's head and licking his head.  Okay, that grossed us out, but we laughed anyway.

  We'll miss her.

  giggling, I'm only just starting to do that myself... feels much nicer than being sad.

• sweetsoul said on Aug 12, 2009....

  Sometimes the only way we can love something(one) is to let them go. You showed great compassion Mimi...which doesn't surprise me one bit.
   
  I'm truly sorry for your loss.
   
   
   
  oh and thanks for the giggles from sharing your memories.

  =[  I'm very sorry.  This is always something that is very hard, and I am not prepared to do so as all my pets have had to been given away.  I almost got a little teary eyed reading about you holding her... eek I must stop.
  
  
  I am sorry to hear this, {Huggles}

• uniquely-ironic said on Aug 12, 2009....

  Meemers, my heart is breaking for you and your loss.  I can't imagine the pain and wish I could give you a huge Uni hug and let my eyes leak on you a little.  She's in a better place, but she has left and empty space in your heart and it will take time to heal.  My mailbox is always open, my phone is always on.

  Man...  This has been a bad year for SC cats...  We've had more than a few fall by the wayside... 
   
  My condolences mimsykins.  I'm sure all our kitties (mine, yours, Alyss and Z's...  That's all I can remember for now...  I'm sorry if I left out someone's furry buddy) are sitting together lapping up milk from the great bowl in the sky. 

• CayenneMan said on Aug 13, 2009....

    I know the feeling all to well, I've been through it many times myself. I've yet to harden my heart by failing to shed a thousand tears. To me it always seems like the first time. I'm sorry you had to go through this but it's important to little Stimpy that you realize she truly did love you but it was time to move on. You did the right thing MissMimi. Know in you're heart you're little Stimpy appreciated the life you shared with her even though it wasn't always easy for her to show it. She'll be waiting for you in that promised place where pain and suffering doesn't exist only an infinate supply of love and hapiness can be found there. I promise I'll make a donation at my local animal shelter today in memory of you're little Stimpy. Hang in there MissMimi life ain't all that bad, it only gets better.

• pusscat said on Aug 13, 2009....

  I just had to say CayenneMan, that although there are some beautiful tributes above and loving words, your words really moved me.  That was beautfiul and moving what you just wrote and it was obviously straight from the heart.

• Me-Myself&I said on Aug 13, 2009....

  my heart goes out to you MissMimi! sigh........ my fur friends are my children so i understand the love and the sorrow of one passing away.
  i hope this pain will pass quickly for you. (hug)

• MissMimi said on Aug 13, 2009....

  Thank you all again.  I appreciate the support more than you know.  I was reading the comments late last night, and really wanted her back.  I wanted to have to be careful rolling through the house in the dark so I didn't accidentally squish her.  I wouldn't have even minded having her hiss at me and take a swipe at me -- it was her traditional greeting every morning.  <sigh>  Ah well.  Life goes on I guess.

  Anyway, thank you.

• pusscat said on Aug 13, 2009....

  I remember the times, oh so many of them, that I would step back and jump thinking I'd trodden on Harry's tail but of course I hadn't, it was a sock or something.
  
  I would turn and smile as Harry caught my eye.  It wasn't him, it was the ceiling to floor patio door curtains just flicking in the wind.
  
  At first there were hot, raw tears.  Then there were sad tears.  Then there were the sad memories.  Then, and this is the bit I like, came the laughter as I remembered every crazy thing he ever did.  2 years on and I still bring him up in daily conversation.  Just today in a conversation with my sister would you believe? :-)
  
  Crabby Kitty will eventually be those happy memories all the time mims, I promise you.

  Thank you for caring for this creature in her old age.  Thank you for giving her the "final act of love."   For anyone who thinks they actually need a good cry (not me, man. . . ) , read a bit of prose called "The Rainbow Bridge."
    The world is a better place for the life you shared w/her. . . Thank You!

• hotaka said on Aug 18, 2009....

  The most touchng part of this post was the part where you finally took her in your arms and kissed her, which you could never do when she was alive. Losing pets is so sad. I will never forget losing the dog I shared my life with from the age of 9 to 17. She will always be in my heart.
