CatOfHate is dead

If I could have taken your cancer, I would.
I would have inhaled it from your lungs into mine,
stored it inside my ribcage,
nestled it next to my fracturing heart.

But cancer is deaf to love's pleading.
Cancer makes no deals.

The vet's needle gave the coup de grâce.
Your heart stopped as I held you.
My heart crumbled into dust.

I am SO sorry. CatOfHate was clearly very much loved 💔

We had fourteen years together, that was most of his life. He was my best friend. I didn't want him to go, but I even more didn't want him to suffer. The house is so empty now.

I wish I could stroke him again.

Your poem is very touching. I have had 2 very special cats in my life and a little bit of my spirit died with each of them. Weirdly both my marriages died around the same time that they did.

So sorry they leave a massive hole in our lives, pawprints on your heart forever.

I still miss our soul cat and it’s been over 5 years and we have 4 more cats who I adore.

So sorry for your loss. They give so much more than they realise.

I am sobbing, so sorry for your loss. My 17 year old soul cat is snoozing in the garden and I dread the time we come to this, a piece of me will die with him.

I'd love to, but he had really distinctive markings and it would be rather outing.

I will tell you a bit about who he was.

  • He would follow me around the house like a little shadow.
  • He sat on my desk next to me when I was working from home.
  • When I came home, he came to greet me.
  • He would sleep on my bed nearly every night and stay with me when I had a migraine.
  • He was really curious about the printer and would come running from wherever he was in the house if he heard it start up, and I had several printouts with claw scratches on because he tried to catch the pages as they emerged.
  • He liked sitting on me and would sit on me and purr to tell me he was hungry, but then get offended if I moved him off me so I could feed him.
  • He liked catnip and laser pointers.
  • He had the softest fur I ever felt and a loud purr.
  • He would come running when he heard the toaster pop because he knew he'd get a little butter.
