Oh Lina - I do feel your pain!! Just this Saturday I had to have my little Mabel put to sleep. She had heart disease which was diagnosed about 1 year ago. I came on this message board to find others who are going through the same thing I am.

What struck me about your story of Pat is how similiar it is to my story of Mabel. I got Mabel (boots cat) when she was just a couple of months old. She had been abused and was very difficult. I worked very hard w/her and w/in a couple of years she had turned into a loving, cuddly cat with me. However, she still suffered from the early trauma and, therefore, she could be snippy and got stressed very easily. She rarely was snippy with me, but she did not do well with other people. I also feel that Mabel and I loved each other - warts and all. Like you and Pat, Mabel loved me with all my faults and I loved her with all her faults.

Also like you and Pat, I too miss her running up to greet me when I get home at night - 'talking' to me and giving me kisses when I came through the door. And I miss her greeting me in the morning and giving me a cuddle before I started my day. The hardest thing was coming home from the vet's office Sunday morning and opening my door knowing that I would never again see her standing there waiting to greet me. I also have another cat and she greets me when I come home, but it's not filled with the love, joy, kisses and cuddles that Mabel had for me when I came through the door.

Waking up in the morning and not having that little cuddle with her is so difficult to bear!!

I just wanted to let you know that I really do know how you feel and it sounds like I am going to miss the same exact things about Mabel that you are going to miss about Pat.

Take care and know that Pat and you will one day be together again. And once the hardest part of the grief passes we will both realize that we are so lucky that we now have 2 very special guardian angels in Heaven watching over us.
