Members Weeclaire1984 Posted August 1, 2017 Members Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 On the 24th July 2017 we said goodbye to our cat Chitty due to cancer still feels so unreal , got a phone call this morning to say his ashes are ready to collect which will be nice to bring him home but still can't believe he's gone never going to hear his meow again or have him cuddle up under the covers I think our other cat is starting to feel it too as she has started sleeping on the bed he lay in while he was unwell even though she's interested in her dinner I don't think she's eating as much as usual , she is 17 and don't know it I am being paranoid because of what happened to chitty and don't want to stress her taking to the vets if we don't need to . even a few days before we had to say goodbye to chitty they still lay in bed cuddled up feel so helpless for Lucky does anyone have any tips for my other cat Lucky. we have been keeping her in usual feeding routine , brushing her , making time for play giving her a little bit extra attention but not overdoing it as don't want her to get anxious when we need to go out the house. thanks pics of our fur babies below (chitty was our black cat and lucky is our white and brown cat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators KayC Posted August 1, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Both of your pictures are beautiful...I've had a cat that looked like Chitty, and one that looked like MarvaMac's cat. It's very hard seeing them and knowing the wait until you can be rejoined. Prayers for strength and comfort for your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators KayC Posted August 2, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 They grieve just like we do. When my husband died, our dog Lucky started acting up, something she never ever did. I was so steeped in grief, it took my daughter to point out to me that Lucky was grieving, it was important for me to give her extra attention. Over the years I put pictures up, took them down, until finally they were up to stay. It's important to do what brings you the most comfort at the time, and that can change as you go through your grief journey. The pain feels unbearable but the intensity does ease up in time.

Members Weeclaire1984 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Members Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Aww KayC that could not have been a nice time for you or your family so sorry I feel more at peace today because we have chittys ashes in our bedroom where he spent most his time with us cuddled up morning and night for lucky I have been focusing on extra time with her especially at bedtime I give her supper then sit and brush her on our bed to make her nice and relaxed it seems to be helping her she's not hiding away on her own as much which is nice to see but think she's still hurting but guess like us it will take time thanks again for your kind words big hugs this forum is really helping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
