The winter of pet loss. Tommie and Fred were of the same litter, brother and sister. They both suffered from hyperthyroid condition and despite medication couldn’t quite make it to what would have been their 18th birthdays on March 7th. Tommie would rub up against you and your hand and pet herself if you stopped petting her. She was feisty and funny. We will miss her.
I’m so sorry Ruth….it’s so hard losing our friends…
Our pets take up a great big place in our hearts. That’s truly unconditional love. So sad to say good-bye.
It has been a sad winter
Sorry about your kitty. You’ll be missing both of them.
What a beautiful kitty…..he looks like one we had some years back. It always is so sad when a beloved pet dies…..I’ve never had a kitty live almost 18 years…..Im sorry he is gone.
I’m so sorry, Ruth.
Sorry to hear the sad news Ruthie 🙁
I hope you and Steve are doing okay.
Love, James
So sorry about Tommy. It has been so sad lately!

I lost 2 cats in two years and know how very hard that was. Sugar, a mean old Siamese, was 17-1/2 and Honey, a big orange tabby, was only 7. I still miss them and have their ashes on my mantel in the livingroom. As I see my other two cats running through the house, I wonder if they are chasing the ghosts of Sugar and Honey!
I’ve been there several times and can sympathize with your feeling of loss. So sorry.
A great picture to remember Tommy with. Until I read the clarification I thought it was a rendering on canvas print paper. RIP Tommy.

She was my favorite too!
I know how hard it is to lose a pet. It breaks your heart. Sorry Rutie.

A sweet striped girl. She looks like she is waiting for you to put the camera down and stroke her.

I liked the post to show support for the post not to delight in the loss… This is a beautiful tribute to a special pet. I’m a cat lover too and we have one… so I can imagine the pain of loss. RIP Tommie!
