I think as time passes I remember them for the wonderful beings they were, their quirks and love of life and the integral part of my lifes thread that they are forever entwined in

We have lost an awful lot in the past 5 years all the Clans founders both cat and dog are now reunited at the bridge the legacy they leave behind is a very big act to follow, the Clan founders helped 150 cats and kittens in to new parent ownership, taught ferals past and present that us humans aren't really that bad, Jazz trained her 2 boys Sky and Sunny to be cat loving dogs

They are necver far from my thoughts and sometimes when one of the others does something out of character I am sure my Bridge kids are popping in to say hello


That's such a lovely thought.  :)

I think of the cats I have lost often and with great sadness and I do cry when I think about them. I  Miss the really special bond with Jemilla and I think of her, Tiffy and Maddy often.

Jemilla and Tiffy helped me get through the death of my mum.

I hope so much that I can be reunited with them some day.

Every single day I think of Sylvester, Bunty and Sofa, I still cry at times and sometimes I feel my heart breaking all over again.

I don't think there's a day goes by that I don't think of all the cats we've had (we've had quite a few as we adopt oldies).

Our first 2 cats we had from kittens Penny and Squeaky.   When they went I decided to only adopt old cats and we had Smokey and Timmy and then Schui and then Byron.  I have all their photos on the side and look at them most days and talk about them.  They were all so different but all loved as much (and sadly we only had Timmy for 3 months) and miss more than words can say  :Luv:

ok I can say more know Ive stopped sniffing

Thank you so much for all your thoughts. I was in bits as I printed off one of the last photos of Mogs and realised (now) just how old and thin she looked. Id worked myself into a panic that Id failed her and somehow let her down.

By thinking about what happened and seeing all your experiences I realise that although I didnt see how old she was looking I did she that she was playing with cat nip the week before she died. She was coming for loves and enjoying fish up to when she died, and that although I miss her like crazy it was the best and kindest thing I could do.

I will never forget her and never stop talking about her because she was such a huge part of my life but I will remember her with love and joy not regret
Thank you
love

I had avoided this thread cos Kocka was the cat that walked into my life and taught me how to be a cat.!

She arrived after I had had clinical depression and was the best thing that ever happened, I will never ever forget her and it will be 6 years this Jul  :( :(

I never stop thinking about my mangobear :'( Even now little things that Kiki does remind me of her. I cant believe it's been over a year now. She was just the most laid back and amazing cat ever.

I will take her ashes with me wherever I go and I have so many photos of her. :'(

Dingle passed away on 20 Oct 1997 aged almost 21.  Simply cannot believe how long ago that was.  I remember her well not least because of her enormous character for such a little girl.  Had her portrait done when she was 15 which hangs on the wall in bedroom.  I still remember how her fur felt. Was naturally distraught at the time but very happy memories now.

You never forget; which is as it should be  :)

I still think about my Maxy boy all the time  :Luv:

I don't think that will ever change, he had such a huge place in my heart, and my life revolved around him for so long, I was always there for him, and he was always there for me  :Luv:

I have Pooty now and I love him to pieces, but it will never replace what I shared with my first baby boy, and I wouldn't want it to  :Luv2:

No, Everyday I think about my Boys and I still miss them not being here  :'(

We have Olivia now and as lovely as she is, she is no replacement for my two boy's ( I don't think you can ever replace them )
plus the fact she is more of a Mummy’s girl, as it was a lady who cared for her the first 5 years of her life

I think I still miss My two Boys ( and always will ) mainly because of the part of my life they were with me

I moved out of my Parents house and into my flat when I was 21, accompanied with Misty and very soon after that
Hamish joined us ( a stray I adopted, whom I learned had been abandoned by the family when they moved to Australia )
This was not long after breaking a nightmare of a relationship with my partner of 4 years, a relationship that destroyed
All my trust and respect that I had for women  :censored: deceitful Trollop  >:( there was only 2 months till the wedding,
I HAD to get out!!!
My grand mother passed, then my Grandfather, in the meantime I was getting myself deeper and deeper into debt
I remember being sad a lot and had virtually no self esteem, but I did not know why?, My work was being affected and there were times when suicidal thoughts would spring into My mind, But then Hamish or Misty would jump on me and give me their love, and I would realise, " I couldn't, I had the responsibility to look after them " I did try and tell my Parent's what was happening, but I got no support there, all they would say was " what have you got to be depressed about, and that I was too young to have depression ",, My sister helped, but I soon realised the only person that could really help was myself. it was 2 years after the initial break-up that I was diagnosed with Chronic depression, they gave me pill's which I didn't like cause they made me feel ill ( seroxat was one i remember ) and I always stopped taking them soon after. No..... for me, I would just keep going, Misty and Hamish at my side, THEY gave me strength and encouraged me to keep going...............
To keep climbing above it all !!
It took me over 7 years before it felt as tho I was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel
By the time I was 29-30 I felt fine, life was getting better, and I had my two Babies with me, I met Carol when I was 31
and from there, things just got better all the time.. Life was Great!!

Then, mid way through august 2007, Hamish was taken to the vet’s and diagnosed with a urine infection, He was given med’s and Seemed to improve, then He just went downhill from there, It was around that time I joined this wonderful forum, on the 5th September 2007 Hamish was pts, It broke my heart
For the simple reason of feeling I had let Him down greatly, I was overcome with guilt because “ I forgot they Grow Old “
8 months previously he had been going off his food, I just put it down to “ Hamish Being Fussy “ and because for 10 years
of leaving the cold water tap in the bathroom running, I never noticed Him drinking More, I forgot they grow old, I didn’t think
He wouldn’t be here forever
To this day, I still feel the guilt, I will never forget or forgive myself either
And when Misty’s turn to leave came, My heart was broken again, but this time there were no Guilty feeling’s, I felt I had done
Everything I could have for Him

But because of the things that happened in my life when they were here for Me, and because they were part of my life for so long " MY Rock" I will still think of them Everyday and I will still miss
them so much, I always will..........

and remembering??

Ive never actually lost a pet before Mogs and find there are so many things that remind me of her.

When I first got Mogs I had no idea of how cats 'worked' I grew up with dogs so Mogs had litter tray, food, furniture and was shut out of the bedroom. That was fine until I got ill and stopped getting up when she expected. Mogs started howling and scratching at doors. I gave in and left all the doors open and found she was fine if she could see me and didnt wake me up at all. It made me wonder about her history as a rescue cat. Was she in a home with a dead owner? I have no idea all I know is that to me to let her dictate how things went was the way forward.
As time went by I realised that if Mogs could see me and I wasnt frightened she wasnt frightened either. We had a couple of hiccups where she slipped out of the door and got stuck on the landing without me knowing but most cases was fine. When the flat was done up she let me know she was unhappy by either thumping me or peeing up the wardrobe but she also seemed to understand I couldnt change things and as I had to cope so did she
It made me realise just how much I owe Mogs as a purrfect (hehehe) trainer and a wonderful friend

love
