Oh Elsiemay, I'm so sorry to hear that, it must have been such a shock. At least she was at home, with her family. She was such a pretty kitty. We are cat people ourselves, we have two shelter cats at the moment, but when you lose one it leaves such a gap in your life, just know I'm thinking of you.

This is such a sad time for you, Elsiemay. So unexpected and happy to the last was to be Millie's leaving. I know you will be feeling upset and teary just now and your other cats you mention will be missing her too. Thinking of you...very hard to lose a much-loved kitty.

Elsiemay I can only echo what libet has said. I am glad for you that she died at home with you. My friends cat just disappeared and she spent frantic days looking for him until she found where he had chosen to go and hole up. Other friends have had similar experiences.We were lucky that our Tabby chose to curl up in her bed and sleep away like Mollie. I know it is good to know what happened to your beloved pet. Look at the lovely photos you have of her and remember the good times. She is irreplacable but so are your happy memories of her.

I am so sorry to hear about Millie - at least she died in her sleep and hopefully without pain. It is so hard to lose a pet because they always become part of the family don't they.

We have had and lost several cats over the years and it doesn't matter how many times it happens you always miss them, as do any other cats you have. When one of my cats got hurt so much in a road accident that we had to have her put down, my other cat that was left at home was absolutely lost without her and wouldn't eat or anything. In the end we had to get another one as company for the one left behind. At least your other cats have each other.

Cats all have their own personality and so it is very hard to see them go because you miss their tiny quirks and the funny things that they do. At least you have some pictures of Millie.

My sincerest condolences to you - at least Millie will be in cat heaven.

What a dreadful thing to happen, Elsie! I loved seeing your pics of Millie, I remember one where she's sitting by an urn in your garden, a beautiful cat. What age was she? Your other cats must also be wondering what has happened. My thoughts are with you.

So sorry Elsie, thinking of you.

So very sorry Elsiemay, take comfort in the fact that your beloved Millie went peacefully and that your lasting memories are of a happy pet playing with her friends.....

18 Mar, 2011

 

What a terrible shock for you Elsiemay, it must be so hard to come to terms with losing your beautiful Millie so suddenly. You have the small comfort that she didn't suffer any long illness and was safe in her own home when she died. It's so sad when this happens, thinking of you......

18 Mar, 2011

 

thankyou all again for your kind comments,they really mean a lot xx

18 Mar, 2011

 

I'm thinking of you too - that's very sad news. I know you'll miss her, but as others have said - she was in her own home and that must be a small comfort to you. x

I am so sorry to hear about Millie, it must have been a shock. She was a beautiful girl, but at least she was at home with the people and cats who loved her. I have lost many pets over the years and it always hurts for a long, long time.
Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of my Bridget's death - the vet gave her too much anaesthesia and killed her.

so sorry about millie,at least she was happy to die at home where she felt safe and loved,chris

Oh I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Last Saturday I had to have my darling Sprog put to sleep - advanced bladder cancer. My Husband died last year and losing Sprog seemed the final straw. My family quickly organised a new puss for company for me and I am sat here waiting for a beautiful Ragdoll cat to arrive - a 4 year old and her name is Gucci. I am so sorry for your loss - I can honestly say I know how you feel. What a blessing your little girl went in her sleep. I prayed for that with my Sprog all night long last Friday night. It was the first time I have every felt relieved when poor Sprog was out of pain. I wish you all the best. Thinking of you with much love.

Lynda ... sorry to learn about lovely Sprog ...
you've had a couple of difficult years ...
I've sent you a p. message ... xxx

So sorry to hear of your sad news about Millie, i lost my Smokey 9 1/2mths ago and still i miss him so much even though i got my 2 cats Tilly and Jack a few weeks after, they really have helped, but still i would give anything to have him back. My thoughts are with you at this very sad time.

19 Mar, 2011

 

once again thankyou all so much for your lovely kind comments,they do really help...ihave just ordered a rose bush named Millie which has beautiful pink flowers & i will plant it beside her grave.

19 Mar, 2011

 

Your rose bush in memory of Millie sounds a lovely idea, Elsie...you must post a picture when you have it in place.
