We lost our 9 yr old Lucy just 2 days ago, had the exact same condition as your lovely cat, woke up at 5am to her cries to find her panting for breath unable to stand in the kitchen. Managed to get her to vet inside the hour, where he confirmed it was a pullmanary annuerism, said she had a 30% chance of recovery and he could put her to sleep right away or as she was a fighter (trying to escape the vets table!) she had a chance, we said of course. He took her away and said they would work on her and call us at midday, they subsequently called at 12pm and 5pm, she was making slow progress, her breathing was back to normal but she still hadn’t recovered the use of her legs, he would call back at midday the following day to discuss what to do next. We then got a call at 8am, my father answered it in a sleepy state I heard him say “oh no” followed by sobbing. She had died during the night. Was absolutely heartbreaking, I thought I had prepared for it but it still hit me so very hard. We brought her little body back at 10am, stiff and cold, it was simply awful gave her a kiss goodnight wrapped her in her favourite blanket and buried her in our top garden. Two days on we are all still so sad. A little light has gone out. And we miss her so very much.

I’m so sorry you lost your boy. The description of what you went through was so very real as to what I felt when I lost my Shih Tzu last year. It is so hard to deal with the loss of an animal. I know it’s been a few months since your loss but I wanted to let you know how much your story touched me.

This post made me start bawling. I think you wrote so well about how emotional it is to lose a pet. It sounds like your little boy was lucky to have the time with you that he did!

Cara – Thank you for leaving me a note here… Hearing from other people who have been through this kind of loss helps a lot. I’m so sorry to hear that you lost your Maine Coon (and the other kitty too, of course). They’re such special cats.

Thank you for sharing this, I lost my 21 year best friend (also a Maine coon) last February and then my young tom cat ran away a week after that. I know how much it hurts and I really can’t make that pain go away. The night I buried her was special. We had bon-fires near her grave every day and after my boy ran away, the night after we had the largest bon-fire and two shooting stars flew right over head. I think he was guiding her to her new home. It doesn’t get easier but I know that she wouldn’t want me to cry all the time (she would always purr to pick me up) and I am sure that your boy wouldn’t want you to cry all the time to. I now have a ridiculously large memorial in my front yard where she is buried and it grows on a monthly basis Hope you can find some solace in this.

I wish there was something, anything, I could do for you. I’m so sorry.

oh my God, it doesn’t sound like enough to say I’m sorry. But I am so very heartbroken for you. What a beautiful tribute to Morning.

If you need anything, I’m here- I’m thinking about you- wish I was there to hug you.

I’m so sorry. They kinda sneak in and make their own place in your heart and life and you don’t realize how big a place they’ve made until they are gone. Hugs to you. Please remember to be gentle on yourself as you grieve.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just went through this with my cat last summer and I was not prepared for the wallop of grief…I cried for two weeks.

The love is real, the loss is profound.
