    JaBoo, Condolences to you and your family. It is so difficult to lose such a close family member. I'm glad you and your family could grieve together. Daffodils in the spring will bring back his wonderful memory. Be kind to yourselves.

    JaBoo, I’m sorry, I posted before reading your post. I’m so sorry for your loss, the pets are so loved and hold a deep place in our hearts 💜

    JaBoo, my sincerest condolences. Pets ARE family members. They just don’t look like us.

    JaBoo so sorry about your loss. They are definitely not pets, they are family. I lost my Lucy right after my diagnosis as well and it was terribly difficult. Hugs to you.

    Good morning all

    Very sorry you had to join us Missouri but glad you found this group.

    Jaboo, most of us unfortunately understand how your heart aches and how empty a home feels when we lose a pet. Thinking of you

    Snickermom, yes, maybe someone can help you. Would love to see a pic of princess.

    Just to chime in on cats sensing things. I had my mammo and biopsy on a friday. Pretty much knew all weekend bad news was coming and expected to hear confirmation Monday. My cat lily is rarely a lap cat and when she is she faces away from me. That Monday I was laying on the couch. Up she comes not on my lap but all the way up to my chest. Facing me and staring into my eyes. A few minutes later the phone rings " I'm so sorry to tell you you have breast cancer" I hung up and cried. She stayed for awhile. I just think she knew. She never faces me and looks at me like that

    I love all the pics here. I often go back several times because they are ALL so cute. Puzzlewoman lily has a few faint orange spots but not her face. Thanks to all of you who foster and rescue

    Loving all the cat photos. Brings a smile. Miss my two terribly, but Hubs is adamant about not wanting a new furbaby.

    oh ladies, thank you all feline lovers for your understanding, I know you here understand both our loss and my being emotional about it in the midst of chemo... thank you so much.

    I love the kitty pictures here!

    I don't know whether I will be able to bring a new kitty in our house... perhaps a kitty has to find us by some chance

    In the shelter we say they have tortitude. It seems to go with the coloring.

    Well, yes, she is the Queen but she doesn't like to flaunt it around.

    well, she obviously decides who is allowed to leave her presence 🙂 so, she is the queen

    Love all the cat pictures!

    JaBoo – Sorry to hear about your fur baby. They are part of our family and 15 years is a long time. It is only right to grieve when they leave us.

    Rah – your kitty looks like she's posing for Animal Crackers LOL

    Feeling Feline – Arthur looks content and Elliot is giving that come-hither look. Also love the cartoon. Those are great scary costumes for a cat!

    Lovepugs – thank you for rescuing those kittens. I am sure they appreciate it!

    Lisa – Sorry about your DX. This thread will be a good distraction while you hear about test results

    DebAl – Cats keen sense when there is something wrong. They know when crawl up and purr to give comfort and calm you down.

    Celia - how have you been? I’ve just been allowed to wear regular shoes again after 6 weeks of healing from a stress fracture. Love to see you again!

    Here is Oakley using my boob as a pillow. This was the cancer side. No bra, so just hanging out!

    I took foster Colby to the vet this afternoon. Good grief he's a loud cat. He screamed the whole time she cut his toe nails and when he had to lay on his back in a soft, supportive trough for an x-ray. Getting 2 shots, not a peep out of him. They put a muzzle on him while drawing blood. It covered his eyes and kept him from biting. The vet told him it was a party hat.

    Tomorrow it's Squeakers turn. He never complains at all. His vet loves him.
