Several people have posted on losing their loved ones here. Unfortunately, it is my turn. My baby Coral passed away this weekend due to complications with surgery. We do not believe he was in pain. His body was tired. This was almost exactly 7 months after our other cat, Turbo died. Turbo was 18 and Coral was 13. This has been very hard. Turbo was old and it was hard, then we thought Coral was going to make it and then he passed away. I got the call and just started sobbing. I really loved my guys. We got Turbo when I was almost 3 and I don't remember nothaving him. He was very vocal and would talk to you. He liked snuggling and taking naps. He loved my mom best. He was an absolute baby. Coral liked me best. He would sleep with me every night and miss me and go in my room if I were gone somewhere overnight. He meowed when you sneezed or said "shhh!" and he loved to help me with my homework. I miss them both a lot. They are buried next to each other. We had funerals for both of them and our family misses them a lot. They were a big part of our family... Pamela
Aww, I'm gonna be so depressed when it's time to let my little friends go. Sorry you had to say goodbye to yours. (((((((((hugs)))))))))
im sorry. i can see how much you love your furbabies. perhaps take this opportunity to adopt another needy baby? best wishes.
These cats lived at my mom and dad's house. I moved out about a year and a half ago but still visited. I grew up with these cats. My parents did get another cat, also. I believe that adopting again is the best way to heal from something like this. It also provides a distraction from the sadness. Adopting again doesn't mean you are trying to replace your lost loved one (because that will never happen). Turbo and Coral's passing provided a gift for 3 homeless cats. I feel they would have wanted us to adopt again. Thank you for your kind words
