Little kitty Gracie went to heaven today. She passed away peacefully,

cradled in the loving arms of her daddy, with her mom and her sister

Tamsen close by.



She was a good kitty for all of her 15 1/2 years. A real pistol of a cat.



Some of you might like to see the story of Gracie and The Penny,

you will find it here:

And here pics of Gracie, taken just a couple of days ago:

May she rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss Val! 15-1/2 years, wow, that's amazing! That only makes it that much harder for you with her being a part of your family for so long! :(

thank you all for your kind words. i'm in unimaginable pain right now, but keeping myself distracted as best i can by doing little bits of cleanup on the 'penny story' etc.. - i changed things around a bit, so the direct link to the photos of her from yesterday and before is here, not that there will be great demand for them.

i'm sure i'll be back to my hectoring, nasty, obnoxiously opinionated self here on FG in time, but right now, there's a hole in my heart that needs time to heal.

Say Goodnight, Gracie

The pictures are beautiful, Anastrophe.

I know there aren't any magic words to take away your pain, but know that everybody who's ever loved and lost their companion knows how you feel. We share that with you. Take your time and be easy on yourself. We're here.

Thank you, everybody, for caring. It does help to know that

you understand how hard this is for us.



We just got back from taking a bunch of food and other kitty items

over to our animal

shelter, they in turn give it to our local Forgotten Felines group, and

that is somewhat comforting.

Say Goodnight, Gracie

Valerie, I just read this thread, and I'm so sorry. I had a 20 year old cat that was a gentle sweet lover, and I feel for you. Your pain will ease.

I feel for you and share your pain,I lost my Cat Tissamin yesterday.My old buddy was with me for 12 years and we went through alot together and i will miss him dearly,I can't replace him and I never will.

I am happy your Gracie passed in a warm loving embrace.I wanted that for my T-man but it was not too be.He lost his life in the street,cold and lifeless i found him.At least I was able too bring him home and bury him with the dignity he deserved.

There is a whole in my heart,My cats where the keepers of my soul.

Val, Anastrophe, Schweet--I'm very sincerely sorry for your losses!

I lost one of my "sitting" clients this week....Miss Grendel (beloved of many, despite her rather ominous namesake!) was 19.

Interesting how something that small can leave such a big space as they pass, isn't it?

I'd like to think that Gracie, Tissamin and Grennie have already been met by my Annie, Oliver, Mao, Igor and Chloe, who can immediately show them where the heavenly Cheetos factory gives free samples to new arrivals!



Huge hugs to you....

Say Goodnight, Gracie

My deepest sympathies (spelling??) go out to you all. Losing a pet is very devastating. (typing with tears in eyes).

It just caps off a bad/stressfull week as it was.

But here I have too take my own advice and suck it up and move on.
