Funny you talk about fur - Fin was shortish hair but his fur was so soft I always thought it felt like he’d been bathing in hair conditioner!!!! I brushed him regularly and in the Spring always out it our in a spare nut feeder for the birds to use for nesting. So often in the autumn cleaning out the...

Thank you - you area true star.

Thank you for asking - I’m getting there slowly. I went out for a long walk between 1.00 and 3.00pm so that I wasn’t indoors at the 24 hour mark. Being out in nature in the sun with the birds singing made the 2.10pm moment less painful. I keep seeing bits of fur here and there and am reluctant to va...

Thank you so much. It’s hard even trying to distract myself. Working in the greenhouse just now and of course who would have been there with me??? Ended up watering the plants in floods of tears again. EVERYTHING I do reminds me he’s not with me either laying nearby in the sun or on my lap for morni...

Thank you - took ages to fall asleep and then kept waking up listening and missing the feel of that furry lump against me!! You are right it’s a beautiful sunny morning - a summer morning when he would be out early for his morning exploration. Thank you for thinking of me and for caring. I can’t tel...

Thank you I’m now in tears dear god this is hard - I miss my friend so much

Hi Claire I hope you are coping. I looked at the date and see you are recently bereaved just as I am. God it’s hard but what a life. Discovered in your dustbin and 16years of joy. I always feel with things like that fate was bringing this gift to you so that you could pour the love into that special...

Thank you and bless you. Reading the stories on here one thing you realise is our pain is not unique.

Thank you Mollycat. Your words come at just the right time. Fin and I had a bedtime ritual. At 10 I would say bedtime for puss and he would go out to his bowl, have a bit of supper then pre sleep belly rubs and fuss. It was our end of day ritual and I’m thinking how am I going to sleep? Tomorrow whe...

Thank you I’m full of guilt at the moment

I just read your message and having just lost my best friend today I understand how you feel. My baby was my third cat but my second adopted me as a stray fella. He turned up and decided he was going to be with me. I always felt the fact that he chose me was such a privilege. He was a character inde...

Today one of the worst of my life. My darling rescue puss Findlay crossed the rainbow bridge to pussy heaven. I know it’s only been hours but I’m in pieces. My baby boy was my life and everywhere I look at home there a reminders. Findlay had been abandoned in an empty flat at about age 5. He survive...
