I am so sorry for your loss.

V was gone far far too soon. I miss her so much. I basically laid in bed all day missing her. The way she used to lay on my chest and suck on her tail. She had the most expressive eyes, and the little bit of white on her brow made her look constantly concerned. Like her namesake she burned bright and is a legend. Burying two cats in less than 6 months has left me feeling hallow. Now I have two ghosts glimpsed in the corner of my eye as I walk into a room, and two little crosses behind a house I'm leaving soon.

When I die

Give what’s left of me away

To children

And old men that wait to die.

And if you need to cry,

Cry for your brother

Walking the street beside you.

And when you need me,

Put your arms

Around anyone

And give them

What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,

Something better

Than words

Or sounds.

Look for me

In the people I’ve known

Or loved,

And if you cannot give me away,

At least let me live on in your eyes

And not your mind.

You can love me most

By letting

Hands touch hands,

By letting bodies touch bodies,

And by letting go

Of children

That need to be free.

Love doesn’t die,

People do.

So, when all that’s left of me

Is love,

Give me away.

Aww, poor V. I'm so sorry. 😢

I’m so sorry 😢

Your Kitty loves you

I'm very, very sorry for your loss. I hope you can take some time to breathe and grieve...

Sorry about your Kitty.

I don't know you but I know what you're feeling right now. I lost my Orange Boy just a few weeks ago and even this weekend I still felt it. I wish I could share more comfort with you, fellow person. I can share this quote by Kate Braestrup that comforts me in times of loss:

Grief is just love squaring up to its oldest mortal enemy. After all these mortal human years, love is up to the challenge..

As bad as that feeling is right now, it means V mattered and was loved.

Sorry to hear that I am sure she had a wonderful life with you

For those who wish to know.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

she will always be alive in your heart and memory, don't forget that.

and remember that there are many cats that need help and a home, maybe some day in the future, you can help one.

Grieve. Feel it. That’s love. It hurts and it’s heavy, but that’s just the cost of them moving from a physical reality to one of memory and emotion. Don’t shut it out - mitigate it if you have to, bit by bit. But grief, to me, has never been about those you love leaving, that’s just them knocking at your heart’s door, asking to be let in.

I'm so sorry for you.

Give yourself a while to grieve, and maybe think about getting another cat to care for - that is the only thing that was able to make me think less about the loss of a beloved companion and keep me in the present where there is someone who needs your attention and affection.

I’m so sorry, that’s heartbreaking. Cats are experts at getting into and doing things they shouldn’t, even when you take steps to keep them safe. Remember that she spent her time with you loved.

Apparently there’s words for a flock of cats. But personally, I call my current and future cat family, my continuity of cats.

This is the way.

I'm very sorry. Shit like this happens and there's often nothing you can do.

Oh, I am so sorry. Sending hugs

oh, she looked beautiful. I'm sorry. I can feel your pain

I'm so sorry. That's awful.

Her ears are so big! 🖤🤍

If you're crying for her, you won't be alone in that tonight

Sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry. :(

I’m so sorry!
