Hi Norma,

     Cuddles came through strongly and I am going to write what she said:

 

"Fine, Fine, just fine, doing as well as can be expected, I am old, but I enjoy life and I am comfortable. Love my family, love attention. Yes, I sleep a lot, but I've earned that. Not to worry, doing fine, love to family."

I'm sadden to say that i had to put my cuddles down to sleep.

 

She stopped eating from friday till monday she stopped drinking i had to force her to drink, she couldn't walk and started to bleed from her backend pretty bad.

 

She i think she knew it was time, she didn't fight and spent every moment with us up till she fell a sleep, She pured to us as much as she could. it was heart breaking to us and i miss her a great deal already. The vet couldn't fix her, she was in shut down and had cancer. But vet did tell me that mostly cat at age 14-15 go in her shape that he had not seen a cat 17 years in a very long time. The vet saw our bond and was amazed, The vet so sooo nice and allowed us to spend time with her after wards. We decided to cremate her, Cuddles hated to be outside so i didn't have the heart to burry her since she didn't like to be out there. So she is gone for cremation and will be brought home to me in a mother of pearl urn that we picked out for her.

The vet gave me a handwritten card expressing  how amazing to see genuine love and compation we shared. coming from a vet i thought was really nice. I love cuddles she was my best friend, i will miss her hugs to me and her settles pur and her coming to kiss me when i got home from work, she comforted me when i was sad. Its been tough, alot of crying and alot of talking to her and i hope she hears me. I pray she understand what i did and how hard it was to do. .

 

Rest in peace my sweet cuddles

 

Norma

I sent peaceful, loving thoughts your way.  You will probably remember how precious she is and always will be.  I never forgotten my Mr. Jones, my lil' pup, and Shadow.  Hard to forget when they were closed to your heart. 

   Cuddles is doing fine now. I asked her why she did not tell me that she was getting close to her time and she told me that she did not want to worry anyone. But she also says she was not in pain, not uncomfortable till the last.

      "I chose not to worry my family. I chose to let teh time come and not worry anyone. Sometimes it is best not to know ahead of time. I'm still with you and you might see me sometime or hear me."

      She is leaving me now, walking away and back to you. I see her watchign some one as they work.

Thanks.

I miss her a great deal. I still cry at night. I hope she understands why i put her down i didn't want her to feel pain.

But she didn't like to be outside at all so i chose to cremate her and got her a gorgeous mother of pearl Urn so she can stay beside me all the time.

 

I talk to her a few times a day and when i'm alone i talk to her, i hope she hears me. I ask her to come to me. So i know she is ok, a few times i thought i heard her pur, i'm not sure if it was my minde wanting to hear so i heard it. or if it was really her. I hope it was her.

 

Thanks again.

Norma

Norma,

      Cuddles knows you did what needed to be done. She will always be with you. If you think you are hearing her purr then you probably are. If you talk to her because you think she is with you then she is and she will hear you.

      One of the most consistent things I get from animals is that they look at death differently than humans. To them it is just another phase of life, it is not frightening or to be feared. They just continue on.

Thank you paul.

 

I do miss her a great deal. I can't wait to have her remains back home in the urn we picked out.

 

I don't ever want another cat. There is no cat that can come close to the bond we had. I have 2 others but i don't have that bond with them there more bonded with the kids then me.

 

So i miss her being with me and hugging me kissing me and greeting me when i came home.

 

I will continue to talk to her. and when i hear the purr i stop and concentrate hard to keep hearing  her.

 

Thanks again for putting up with me asking about her so much.

 

Norma

Thought i would show a picture of my sweet cuddles i miss so much.
