I have some horrible news to report. If you don’t already know (I announced this on youtube and my facebook page) my beloved and super-amazing cat, Kiki, died a little over a week ago. :( Of course, I was devastated, and still am. He was a wonderful companion and friend. I couldn’t have wished for a better cat. A couple of months ago I rushed Kiki to the hospital, because he was very ill. He almost died then, but managed to survive somehow. We thought maybe he had swallowed some medicine or something, but then the other day he had the same symptoms. We now kind of doubt the medicine theory and believe that he may have had a stroke or some kind of neurological problem. I only wish that I had been there with him, so he didn’t have to die alone at the vet. I also never got to say goodbye or hold him one last time. We got him cremated and I now have a small box with his ashes inside. Not the way I wanted him to come home, but at least he is home now. If only you could have known Kiki, you would have loved him too. I will always miss him.
Hi Kristin,
What horrible news…it is awful to lose a loved one and my heart goes out to you. If it is any comfort to you, know that you made a difference in kiki’s life and he made a difference in yours. I know he is in a better place and he knows that he was loved in his last place. May you get comfort in your time of sadness.

Thanks Veronica! Some days are easier than others. It is weird, because it seems like he has been go so long even though it has only been a couple of weeks and at the same time I keep expecting to see him or hear him! I really appreciate your condolences. Thank you! :)
I lost cat he was called Mowie.
Congestive heart failure I was told by my nurse that I may actually see even though he’s gone, I had dreams but luckily no hallucination.
I eventually got over it.
I now have another cat Flip.
Good luck Kristin
