My beautiful Lady Kat almost made it to 19 put she passed away in my arms yesterday. I am one hurting buckaroo.

Here's another photo of her.

A beloved pet passing is heartbreaking.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Cats are amazing creatures.

Sorry about the loss of your pet. When you’ve had one that long, it can be like losing a part of the family.

RIP. My condolences to you.

Sorry to hear about your cat. You must’ve taken very good care of her and given her a good home for her to have lived nearly 19 years.

Sorry to see this.
My sympathies on your loss.

It is losing part of the family. So sorry for your loss...

Losing a pet is certainly painful. My condolence ?

She looks like she was quite a character, kcghost.

We buried our queen of the house a few months ago.

I'm still expecting to see her in her "usual" spots. My wife forbids me to wash my work jacket covered in her fur and the row of her nose prints on the window at the head of the bed still linger.

Fortunately for your kitty, she had a long and happy life with a caring servant owner. That's all any of us can hope for.

Sorry for your loss. No better place to pass away than in your arms.

Grief for the dead is lessened by remembering the times you spent together. I'm sorry!

So sorry to hear this. Pets are family, and losing one can hurt just as much as losing a human family member. I know that the two dogs I've lost still feel like profound losses in my life, even years later.

Lady Kat lived a good, long life though, and I hope that is some small comfort. I grew up with a cat also named Kat. I found him under a car as a kitten, abandoned, when I was a middle schooler, and he lived to be 21 before passing away a few years ago.

I am constantly amazed by the gifts that animals give us. A person once asked me, while she was struggling with her sick dog: "why does it hurt so much?" My response (in one of my wisest moments EVER) was: "Pets embody the best qualities of all of the people who are most dear to us, but without any of the worst qualities."

Sorry for your loss. We have a 15 year old Shitsu. It will be very painful when she leaves us. You're fortunate to have enjoyed her for so long.

I'm so sorry about your beloved companion. Cats are amazing animals. 19 years is a long time to be together! Did you get her as a kitten?

A beloved pet passing is heartbreaking.

I always try to think about how long they lived compared to their feral friends. And what a long and precious life they got to live and how much they gave. It still hurts when I do that but not quite as bad.

Oh man am I sorry to hear that, my dog and cats are like my other children. If I wasn't greeted with their little barks, chirps, and meows, my day wouldn't be complete.

 

[hawky454]

Ah man, I may not be a cat person myself but I understand, I’m sorry for your loss. Our pets are our family too, just a damn shame they live such short lives compared to us. Sounds like she was right where she needed to be when she passed.

My condolence.

I hear ya, my old Cleo gave me her last nuzzle as she was going under (14 years). Lost Tasha (21) and Marty (13) shortly after. It hurts to lose a friend and I'm still hurting from those. Lady Kat had a great pal in you and had her best times with you. They seem to come and visit us sometimes after they leave us.
