Sorry to hear about your loss Capt. She was lucky to find you two and I am sure she appreciated the love and care over the years.

Jim, I’m really sorry to hear about your cat. I understand that the grief is very real.
As you know I’ve got one now, Molly, that I was supposed to be just boarding temporarily, (3 years ago) and have grown to love, I would be very sad if anything happened to her. There’s a couple of mine that are long gone that I still miss from time to time. |

That’s a tough loss, Jim. I understand how you’re feeling. Will you get another pet companion?

Quote:
Before Molly, we had a cat who lived to almost 22. When we had to put her down, we both said, "Never again - too much hurt." Molly showed us that she could fill that hole in our hearts. Our time with her was much too short, only 4 years (she was 6 when we adopted her). Izzy needed to be rescued - she had health issues and was frail. I told Joan, "We need to find an older cat who needs a forever home; one that is already mellow." Instead, she and Izzy picked each other... Iz was estimated to be around 6 months and had been found after a hurricane as a kitten. Sadly, due to a respiratory problem, she spent several months in "medical confinement" in the shelter. She had never been outside of a 3x3' cage. With proper care, love, and nutrition, she blossomed and thrived. She definitely taught me that I could love hard again. Great spirit, right to the end. All that said, in time I hope the opportunity to be pet parents will again present itself. My heart has a big ol' hole in it, but it is open. Thanks, all, for the kind words. Jim & Joan |

Capt Jim,
So sorry to hear about Isabella. It is very hard to lose a pet. They are a part of our families. Barb |

So sorry for the loss, Jim. We were hoping to meet Izzy (plus you and The Blonde too) in Arizona next month. We've been through that "never again, it's just too hard" phase too -- multiple times. Eventually the hole in your heart will heal some, and need to be filled by another furry friend who needs a loving home.
As I've said many times before, I admit to shedding many more tears over the pets we have lost than many of the people that have passed from our lives. There is just something so special and pure about the loving bond between a pet and a person, and it's a shame we don't get more time with them. We are not looking forward to the day when Buddy the Lawn Puma (age 12 and slowing down visibly) has to finally make that trip....... Condolences is such an inadequate word. |

This morning, as we cleaned and packed up Izzy's things (and there were many things), each item brought a wave of emotions. And tears. Jim |

Sorry about your loss Capt. Jim. I'm an unabashed cat lover. Maybe a new guitar named after her? 😀

I've found the loss of some of my dogs much more painful than the loss of some of my relatives. Lo siento.

I feel it...I had a cat that made it to 18...I had her for 15...she was my buddy...even people that didn't like cats thought she was cool.

Condolences Captain, they are part of our lives. We have lost in the past and have two getting up in age. It is a very sad experience. -- Darwin
