Skip passed away last night. I just got the news about a half hour before I posted this. Now I have the task of burying him. A cat that meant so much to me that I can't even put it into words. Only to say my life without him is going to feel very empty and meaningless.
Skip I'll see you when it's my time to go pal. March 1996- October 6, 2009

The best advice I can give you is try not to dwell on the inevitable.
That was my mistake, the older he got the more I thought of him leaving me.
And now that he's gone all those fears of losing him came right to the surface.
I probably mentioned it here I don't remember but the last time I cried like I did for him I was a small child and I'm 32 now.
Other advice that I can give you is be the best owner you can to her. Learn her personality inside and out. And most of all don't ever make room for regrets later on down the road.
I'm learning quickly that losing a cat as close as Skip and I were, is never going to be easy in any way. But I knew I gave him the best life I could, and that has been a great comfort to me that he was at least a very happy kitty.
If you ever want to talk about your cat I'm sure I'll be open for it eventually. Questions, or whatever.
Thanks for leaving a comment. Your's was a help to me even if it wasn't intended.

He didn't have that problem because he actually fell out of a car as a kitten, and that's how I found him. That made him scared of cars and never went where they did.
Complications from diabetes finally took him, in fact in two days it will have been 6 months. I still miss him baddly even now.

My dog's getting older- he's a terrier, must be bordering on 14 now. I can't... Can't imagine him not being there... The thing is, I'm at boarding school, and my worst fear is that... he goes, and I'm not going to be there with him... I know he has to go, and I know it'll probably be soon because he's getting some health complications, but....
I want to be there to hold him when he does.
Oh look, I've gone all teary now. *hugs* I know it's been a few months, but you never stop missing them, do you? *cuddles*

The pain subsides, but yeah every once in a while the silly or cute things he used to do... I've thought if Skip was here, he be rolling around in his dirt pile trying to get my attention. Or swat me on the heel as I walk by. Lay his head on my arm as I went to sleep.
I wish I could tell you that it won't hurt as bad as you think. But I'd only be sugar coating things. That's life, the pain of loss and the happiness of the memories.
Thanks for the comment, and I hope your terrier will be okay for a while still. *cuddles back*

I think I share your pain, I've lost two cats in the past few years. Unfortunately, both were having issues; one was already old and it was amazing she lasted as long as she did. The other HAD to sneek out the door and get damage his spine. He was still able to walk, but lost bladder control and lost control of his tail and partial control of a hind leg. I kept him outside after that for year, but it was irreparable and I had to have him put down. I know his death was painless, but it was still painful to lose an orange tabby that as perfect as him. He was in perfect health and had the best cleaning habits before he went and tried to climb a tree or something the night he got out the door. What's amazing was I only knew he had snuck out when he was waiting on the doorstep the next morning. I still have one cat I suppose, but she seems to know the others are gone and begs for more attention than ever.
Sigh...to cats, the most adorable little heart stealers.
