I can't stop crying?

You know..I was once in the EXACT same situation as you were...my cat Chucky had the Feline Aids..(I had adopted him after someone tossed him in the dumpster as a kitten) I had him for about 2 yrs...he was fine until I noticed he was having trouble breathing..when I took him to the vet..that when we found out all sorts of things wrong with him...Aids..Lukemina..Heart Failure....I had to say goodbye. I was absolutely DEVASTATED he was the first cat I lost. And to make it worse...I had 3 other cats as well as one that could of been infected and who was pregnant with HIS kittens when he died.

I cried the WHOLE day and night he died..I couldnt eat..I couldnt sleep..I tortured myself over and over with his final moments and worrying about my other cats..especially Nathaniel my blk and wht cat ,,scared to death he may be sick. I've had since I was 10yrs (im 23 now).

All I can say is time will heal your wounds...even though his life was short...it was wonderful..full of love and cuddles. Your kitty didnt have to worry about going hungry...he didnt have to worry about a warm dry place to sleep..he always had love.....

I hope my words bring some comfort to you..because I truly do feel your pain....it was like I lost a child....I love my kitties more then most ppl I know...I understand the bond. Well take care..writing about this brought tears to my eyes...

Angels, I'm going through the same thing as we speak. unfortunately my cat of 17 years old past away this Friday after thanks giving. We've been together since she was six and we've had a great and wonderful 11 years full of memmories. She was like my child, and like any mother would feel, you are not suppose to outlive your children. She had cancer back in 2005 and had 2 surgery's. We enjoyed her for almost two whole year after that but unfortunately the cancer has taken over and I lost her. I couldn't stop crying either. I have her picture sitting in her bed and every morning b/c I don't start the day with out her I always say good morning and kiss her picture. I've managed to clean up all her meds, plates and other belongings and by far was the hardest thing I have to do but It help to clean everything of hers except for her bed and her picture w/c I still can't let go yet but I think it actually brings me comfort to have it there and I can still say good morning and still give her a kiss. Sick as it may sound but I also have a stuff toy that looks just like her and when I'm in need of a hug, I have that. I hope you will feel better soon. Like they said, time will heal all wounds and I'm counting on that as well.

Aww...i feel so bad for you. I know how you feel when something happens to your animal.I have had several cats in my life, and this is why their all indoor cats, because i am afraid they will get hurt.All i can say is that Simba loves you so much, and his soul will come back sometime soon in another cat. You will get over it, and like i said, you will see him soon.You will know when it is him, too. My cat, Tiger, died a few years ago, and now he is back.I know it. He is in the form of my cat, Kissy.This miricle happened to me and it is sure to happen to you. Just believe that little Simba will come back and he will. Also, little Simba knows that you did all that you could to help him.Sweetie, you will be okay. Dont worry, Simba will always be there in your heart.Message from Simba:

Dear loving owner:

I miss you so much. You will be okay. I hope that you find me out here, disguised. I know that you will. I love you so much.

I am sorry to hear about your lost, I know what your are going threw. I never thought of myself of a cat person until my sister brought home this tiny skinny Siamese cat, and it was her cat I had nothing to do with this cat, but then my sister went away to college and had to leave her behind, thats when Mozart strated hiding in my room over the next 4 years i took care of this cat everyday even after my sister was done school, Mozart still stayed we me, after having her for 7 years we found out she had cancer, her teeth fell out she lost a lot of weight, I hand fed her every day. One night she was laying in my bed next to as I was watching tv. I was petting her and she did something she had not done in months she was purring, like she was at peace, Mozart went to sleep and never woke up, I cried for a month, there were even times i though I felt her jump on the bed, So what i am trying to say is...it is rough but you will get threw this, you cat knows you did everything in your power, and that you love them you took time to hand feed them. I wish you all the best, just give it time.

i can't imagine what u must feel like. i have 2 cats that i also feel like they are my kids. right now, 1 of them is having dental problems and i'm worried about what will happen when i take her 2 the vet on fri.( she's not exactly a friendly cat) I've seen my aunt lose 2 cats that she had for about 12 yrs and even now she tears up talking about them. ( she lost 1 last fall, the other ths fall) i hate when ppl say, "it's no big deal, it's just a cat." to me, they are truly part of the family. i'm really sorry for ur loss and i'm sure u did ur best. hopefully, as time passes, u'll feel better. (btw, get the others checked asap just in case)

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing an animal or a loved one is the hardest thing to deal with. I'm sure Simba was loved very much and in a very happy family.

You said you have two other cats...I know that FIV is contagious, but make sure you take them into the vet to get them tested and get a preventative for them.

Once again I am so sorry!

First thing: Have you gotten the other cats checked up on? That should be a quick priority, as their lives are obviously important to you.

As for your cat, I really give you all my condolences, it obviously seems like your Simba meant the world to you. I recently lost my cat of 15 years, named Paws. He was diagnosed with cancer in January, passed away in May. We tried everything to ease his pain, and nothing has been the same since.

You have a heart of gold for going through the process of trying to cure him, as many people would have put him down on the first signs of sickness. Spread the love you had for him to your other cats, they should help you grieve.

In addition, if you happen to have the remains of Simba, you should consider giving him a proper burial in your backyard. Even if you don't, having a little ritual of rememberance should help you greatly, as it did with me.

Best wishes to you dear, I truly hope your cats turn out healthy.

Oh you poor thing, im so sorry for your loss, I had a beautiful cat her name was Lilla she was 2 1/2 years old and she was like our child, we were going on holiday and the day b4 we found her dead on the side of the road out the front of our place, we have her buried in the garden where she loved to play. That night I couldnt sleep we had to get up at 3 in the morning and travel 750km for our holiday, we were so stressed, so upset and still in shock to belive our beautiful baby had passed away.

The next night I was worrying so much I couldnt sleep again, I was sick that night, vomiting cause of what happened still in shock not wanting to belive it, I played this song over and over again to remember her by it's called

"Shayne ward No Promises"

I cryed every time.

Some people might tell you it was just a cat, some people will not understand how you can get so emotional about it some people will think your mad but I understand how you feel.

Its happened to me and it's just like you said, its like loosing a child, that proves that if you loved your kitty like you did you will be a great mum to your own children, your a great person your baby knew that, he died knowing that you loved him thats what he wanted, he wanted you to be there.

And you were.

Sorry about your baby, you bought tears to my eyes tonight.

i feel your pain i had a handicaped dog he had no lower jaw bone so i had 2 feed him with baby spoons he had the best of everything he started to seizure it stoped for a while but he had another which let to his death i was totally withdrawn i kept his ashes and it still brought tears to my eyes but i got another handicaped dog she was named after my first one she lasted 2 years and had a major heartattack in my arms going to the hospital so what i did was dwell on the good times we had together and remember how much love i gave them always remember that later we got another puppy and i continued the name but i will never ever forget my first weenie that was his name take some time and think about it
