Last night was a horrible one. About 11:30pm, I got up to use the restroom and saw Miss Kitty laying on the floor. She didn’t move when I walked up to her and she was just “not there”. She had been eating just minutes before but was now lethargic.
I knew right away that she was passing. I held her in my lap and petted her, talked to her, and just cried. I sat with her for 2 hours until she passed, hoping she knew how much I loved her. She has been with me for over 14 years… longer than I have been with my husband. She lived with me at my parents’ house even. This was a passing that has hit me hard.
I have done what I always do when a pet dies, I told the kids that she went to play with Jesus. I hope this eases their pain the way it does mine.
Goodbye Miss Kitty. You were a great cat and I am going to miss you so much.

So sorry to hear about your kitty passing. I had this happen to me on Feb. 3rd 2011. I had a black cat by the name of Dobbs that I loved very much. I found him one morning dead in the basement by his litter box. I was very sad for many day’s after it happened. They are like part of the family. Again I’m sorry for your loss.

Thanks June. I am missing her so much. She was such a sweet baby.

I’m so sorry 🙁 She was a pretty kitty, and I’m sure she was even sweeter than she looked.
Stefany says
Thanks Alena. I miss her so much. She was a love bug kitty.

I am so sorry for your loss. It’s so sad to lose a pet because they are such a big part of the family.
Stefany says
They really are. She was my baby long before I had babies of my own. I see all my pets as my babies so losing one is so hard.
Barbara Montag says
Oh gosh I’m so sorry to hear about Miss Kitty.
She was fortunate to have your love in her life.
Stefany says
Thanks Barbara. She was very special to me.
Christina says
Hugs! A year ago I lost my kitty too, my first baby.. he was 18 and I got him when I was 16 when I got him – he actually passed 18 years to the day that he came into my life, I still miss him. He had cancer (sarcoma caused by vaccinations and stomach cancer, he was also in renal failure) … just a few months prior we lost our dog to nasal cancer and very unexpectedly in the middle of those two my dad passed away.
Stefany says
Death is hard enough but that is a lot at once. I am sorry you went through that Christina. I know my pup Sammi isn’t going to live much longer but I don’t even want to think about her going.
Courtney says
So sorry for your loss:( Four years ago the exact same thing happened to me with my Bashful (she was 12). I know she knew how loved she was and your Miss Kitty knew too!
Stefany says
Thanks Courtney. I hope you are right. It was horrible sitting with her for hours while she passed away but I didn’t want her to die alone. 🙁
