My heart hurts
When I read about Jenny's Bubba the other day, my eyes welled up with tears as I thought about losing one of my cats, especially our older one. Little did I know that I'd be facing such a loss so soon.
Gah. I have to keep this short because I cannot stop sobbing.
Yesterday we had to put down our beautiful, loving cat Casi after a sudden acute illness. She was 16 years old.
She had a happy, wonderful life with us and her "sister" Chika. We already miss her like crazy. (I really need to teach myself how to go to sleep without the thud of her jumping up on the bed to lay next to me.)
Rest in peace, my sweet girl.
Oh, Nancy! I am so sorry. Big hugs to you all.

Oh, I hate this for you. As much as I want to believe I am not in love with my animals, I totally am.
I hope you are able to rest today.

My heart goes out to you. I'm very sorry to hear about Casi.

Oh, I'm SO sad for you. I am glad Casi didn't have to suffer, but those sudden illnesses don't give you any time to process beforehand. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Oh NO! :( My heart goes out to you! May you find comfort in the memories. I've lost two cats in this lifetime, and it never, ever gets any damn easier. ((hugs))
