We lost our girl and I am devastated.

[GoodbyeToCare]

Last week we lost our girl to what the vet thinks was kidney disease and possibly a stroke. She was 15 and she was my soul cat, her name was Holly.

I am utterly devastated and the pain of grief is horrendous. I know it will pass and it will become easier but for now I feel overwhelming grief and sadness.

I've attached a picture of her hogging my sons computer chair. How can it be that this time last week she was still with us and now she's gone?

I’m so sorry. What an absolute beauty.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl.
RIP, lovely Holly . 💐 xx

I’m so sorry for your loss
I know how much it hurts. There is a memorial thread if you want to add more photos of Holly, how did she come by her name, was she a Christmas kitten? She was beautiful.

So very sorry

"Soul Cat" 💓
What an absolutely stunning lady! Sorry for your loss, OP. Think of all the happy and funny times she gave you. All the love and affectionate headbutts.

I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you are feeling.

What a beautiful cat. Think of her with a smile on your face, then the memories will follow. Talk about her to anyone who will listen. keep the memories alive. It sounds callous and really - it's not meant to be but get a small kitten as soon as you feel able. You'll have a little fur ball to love and look after to ease the pain. I know - I've been there. Don't be impatient with yourself, it will take some time.

She’s beautiful and I’m so very sorry OP . You’ve lost a very much loved family member and that takes time to come to terms with. She’s still your soul cat ,you are still her soul human and that will always be so xx

I'm so very sorry, she was beautiful. I lost my boy in similar circumstances on Sunday, kidney issues, possible stroke or other neurological problem. It's devastating. If you need an ear, I'm here

She is so gorgeous. It's devastating to lose a cat and to lose your soul cat must be far worse. Sending love OP ❤️

Thank you so much everyone. @pantherrose you made cry - but in a good way.

I miss her head nudges, her incredibly loud purr and her miaow for attention when I came home from work.

She had a beautiful soul, was so loving and loyal.

She's buried in our garden so is still close by and I go out and speak to her every day.

I think a new rescue kitten will be in my future but not yet. I'll know when it's time 🙂

How sad for you. It's heartbreaking when they leave us
