I'm so sorry Hypermom. It's nice though that she had so much time with you and made your lives more special for it. She is with Jake.

Hypermom, I too am so sorry for the loss of Samantha. Old Max the tabby also went to the Rainbow Bridge today, so your little girl got to meet a new friend right away. Max was the beloved sweet boy of Mildred an 87 year old lady.

OG, I'm sorry about Max: Mildred must be devastated.

Hypermom, I have a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Your sweet Samantha is the spitting image of my Critter, who is 17 now.

Oh, Hypermom! You had an inkling this was coming, didn't you? Samantha lived a long life full of love, you know that. And now she is reunited with Jake, I am sure of it. When you close your eyes tonight, just picture them both cuddled and sleeping peacefully, together once again.

OG, so sorry to learn of Mildred's loss of her tabbycat, Old Max. She will be waiting there for Mildred when she is ready to join her.

Thank you all so very much!

Sea, yep, Sam and Critter do look alike. Angelina and my Holly look alike too.

HP, yes, I knew she wasn't feeling well when we were in Vegas. She wasn't eating well. I could feel a mass on her stomach. I had talked to the vet there when Holly was sick, and he told me to just keep Sam comfortable, let her eat whatever tempted her. I did that. Because of her age, there really wasn't anything that could be done. He said I'd know when it was time to do something for Sam. Sunday night, she didn't come upstairs with me when I went to bed, so I knew she was starting to hurt. Yesterday, she stopped eating. Holly was acting strange last night. She always sits on my DH's lap. Last night she kept starring at the ceiling. My DH said, "Sam's looking at her." lol When my son died, Sam would go in his room and bat at what we thought was Jake playing with string with her. So, I figured, Jake and Sam were playing with Holly last night. We buried her in Jake's garden under the Rosebud tree where she likes to play.

OG, I'm so sorry about Max. :-( It has to be very hard for Mildred to lose her companion.

So Sorry Too Hypermom!

Sam looks so much like my beloved Jezabel. Your whole story has me in tears.

When Jezabel took her walk across the Rainbow Bridge 12 years ago, the Vet said: "I can tell by all your tears that Jezabel has done her job well!"

It sounds like Sam has done her job well too. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss!

Hugs to Mildred also, that must be heartbreaking for her to lose her loving Max!

Thank you, Calamity, Vee, and Biscottii.

I miss Samantha a lot. Holly has been in a funk too. They didn't get a long all the time, but they were together for 16 years. Holly always sits on my DH's lap when we watch tv at night. Tonight, she came and sat on mine. That shocked me. My DH said she knows that I miss Samantha and wants to comfort me. I told him it is hard to let go of her, because not only was she my little girl, she was another tie to my son.

Bis, I can understand that. My vet was crying with us when she was checking Sam's heartbeat after the injection. We all shared a box of Kleenex.

I am so, so sorry Hypermom! I just lost my Baby on May 20th and I know how painful it is!

When I think about Baby, I still just burst out crying. I read that the sad thoughts will be replaced with happy thoughts of our little friends. I am still waiting for that to happen, though! I hope it does soon cause my heart still breaks for her.

I will keep you, Hypermom, your family and little Samantha in my thoughts and prayers! It will get easier but I know it will take time!

wish i had better words to make bring a smile, but the only thing to do that now is memories of things she di that will make you smile and laugh, maybe over time the cat antics you see on tv are on the web will make you remember specail quirks, things that will ley you know she was spo special to you,, ( warm hugs)

awww, Taterhead, that's great news! I know it's a pain in the butt to use newspapers in a litterbox, but that's always an option. When kitties are first declawed, I know that the vets around here have people shread newspapers so the kittens don't get litter stuck in the glue or stitches.

Remember, too, to ask your local churches, Salvation Army, etc. for help to get you through this month. Please don't go hungry because you spent so much on your kitties. I understand, and applaud your love for them...just don't neglect yourself, o.k.?

Hugs and concern for all who have recently lost their animal friends. I know how difficult it is.

Awww Tater! I'm so glad to hear you're kind of okay. I've been worrying too! The night after reading your post, my youngest sis, in a wheelchair after a work accident a few years ago suddenly got notice this week too. No SSI check, get a job. Like HOW, for someone who can't walk more than a few feet, can't drive, can't afford a taxi to go job seeking? Maybe there's some type of scurge going on in those govt offices, like an epidemic of heartlessness.

I'm so glad to hear from you and that at least you've still got your kitties! Can you call your electric company and plead hardship? Our company here in Seattle has a fund for low income people that get into that type situation. Take Care, still thinking of you Tater! ....Bisc

((((((((Hypermom))))))) I'm so sorry for your loss. It just cuts to my heart when I hear you talk about her connection to Jake and to you. I'm sure they're together. I know Holly feels the loss. When I came home from having our Jade put to sleep, our dog just layed on the floor and whimpered. She knew. I've cried before and she never whimpered like that so I'm sure it was because Jade was gone. She didn't seem to know what to do - poor doggie!

Baby, I was beside myself with grief and feeling empty when Jade died. I even went as far as taking a stuffed kitten to bed w/me, but it sure didn't do the trick. I was about 2 mo. before I brought Misha home and now 3 1/2 yrs later, I sometimes still slip and call her Jade. They're such different cats though. Sometimes Misha does something or sleeps where Jade used to sleep, but they are definitely different and while Misha comforted me, it made my memories of Jade less painful. I'll never forget her, though. Never. And I just can't imagine life without Misha either! People who love animals, just seem to have lots of love to give, so don't worry.

Tater - I'm so happy you've checked in. I was posting to you in the "Cat thread." I had contacted a friend in MS to see if we could find you some help. I'll let him know that your check came through and like Hukd says, don't neglect yourself! :-)

Baby, thank you very much. I hope all your good memories of Baby replace your sadness.

Tater, thank you too! I'm so glad that you got your check and get to keep your babies! But, more importantly, that you are okay.

Watching, thank you! Holly seems to be back to her normal self now. I'm not going to get another kitty. I think it would be too hard on Holly to have a kitten running around here. Also, since we bounce back and forth between IL and NV, it will be easier with just her.

Thank you all for your wonderful notes. I do appreciate them.

I finally got a working scanner so I can now post a picture of my departed Jade who was the best cat ever for 16 yrs. She grew up with little kids hauling her around, pulling her tail, you name it and the only time I ever heard her growl or hiss was in the vet's office. I was devestated when I lost her, but her memory lives on.
