She's died

Just that really. I came downstairs in the morning after hearing a little cry, and she'd died in her bed. She was 13 and I'd had her for 9 years and she was my little furry buddy, especially since I also lost my husband.
I just can't get rid of the shock of finding her.
Health wise she was fine so I assume it must have been a sudden event like her heart or a stroke.
I now feel TOTALLY alone in the house.

She is beautiful, OP. And I love a chatty cat.

Ah she is lovely, I can tell you are going to miss her getting you organised and running the house to suit her!

MrsHaroldWilson · 01/03/2026 21:00

What a gorgeous girlie, and so much character in her little face.

Puppylucky · 01/03/2026 21:02

Oh I think I recognise Luna! Have you posted about her before - beautiful markings. I am so sorry for your loss. It must be such a shock and very sad on top of all your losses. I can only echo others sentiments to be kind to yourself and take everything as gently as you can . Wishing you all the best

Breadcat24 · 01/03/2026 21:12

so sorry you have lost Luna it hurts so much but a least you gave her a happy life

AlwaysRightISwear · 01/03/2026 21:13

Sorry you've lost your lovely Luna.

FknOmniShambles · 01/03/2026 21:16

What a beautiful baby. I'm so sorry you're feeling this awful pain, it's just awful.
Please try and find solace in the fact you gave her a happy safe life, and allowed her to feel loved and cherished.
It still hurts like fuck though.

Lilactimes · 01/03/2026 21:26

I'm so sorry .. she's beautiful ❤️😢 I hope you can call a friend xx

I’m so sorry about your gorgeous Luna. Although this doesn’t help with the shock and grief, try to take some comfort knowing that she died without any prolonged suffering in a warm, familiar and comfortable place.

auntyjo81 · 01/03/2026 21:36

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Luna. It’s so painful I know. I lost my 17 year old kitty back in November and I’m still beyond heartbroken. Sending you lots of strength and love.

RuudGullitOnAShed · 01/03/2026 21:37

What a beautiful girl.
I am so sorry for the loss of Luna. I love a chatty cat.

She was my Luna.
So loved.
I miss her.

I'm so sorry.

Was the she Luna cat mentioned in another thread, who would enjoy a lullaby about the moon as it had her name in it? That made me smile. What a horrible shock 😢

Easterbunnygettingawrapping · 01/03/2026 22:06

Tortie dcats are special! My very first dcat was one! I still remember aged 7 taking her tiny self home on the bus in my coat.
I'm 54 now! How the special moments stick with us.
So sorry for your loss op..

ShawnsLeftEyebrow · 01/03/2026 22:08

Oh, a talkie tortie! There's something special about a tortoiseshell cat. She looks such a character.

Feetfingers · 01/03/2026 22:11

I am so sorry. To have lost her so suddenly must be so hard.

A different Luna, but she also sounds lovely.

I think it's the shock of having had no warning signs.

Oh that face, you can see she was special! 😍 I'm so so sorry, I know how awful it is - lost my girl suddenly two months ago - the same way, a cry and then gone. I was glad she was at home though, and hope you can find comfort in that in due course...

But right now, your heart is sore, and it hurts so much because we love them. Sending sympathy from one cat lover to another... 🤗💐

Well I've come down with a massive cold, so I don't want to spread it around! Probably why I'm feeling so rubbish!
I'll be okay. Just feeling sorry for myself I suppose 😕

Oh no. You lost your darling cat. Am so sorry for you.

Tcateh · 01/03/2026 22:24

A Tortie!

So special 💕. I'm so sorry op, she's had such a lovely life with you I can tell how much you love her.

I understand the loss, especially when you've had other losses.

Beautiful Luna. Xx

HEC2746 · 01/03/2026 22:29

I’m so sorry OP, she was gorgeous.

We lost our young boy on the road a few days ago. I’ve got so much else going on that I don’t really think I’ve processed it in any way, it feels like just another shit thing that’s happened recently. It won’t be the right decision for anyone but we’re going to get new rescues almost straight away as we just need something happy and fun in the house (the road our boy got to was bloody miles away so we’re not replacing cats in a dangerous area). Maybe one day it will feel right, or you will see a cat that feels right.

Be kind to yourself, losing a pet is such a big loss x

thebear1 · 01/03/2026 22:30

Beautiful girl, sorry for your loss.

Olderbutt · 01/03/2026 22:30

So very sorry, it breaks your heart ❤️. Be kind to yourself and take comfort that she had a good life with you x
