Very sadly last week I had to say goodbye to my beloved Prue. After her ill health earlier this year she rallied for a while, but for the last fortnight she'd been eating very little and on Wednesday I could
see her breathing was laboured. At the vet's she was pronounced a 'very poorly cat' and so there was only one possible thing I could do. She came home for the final time and is now in her resting place at the bottom of the garden. She was almost sixteen years old and therefore had had a good life but nevertheless I still felt wretched. The house feels so lonely without her, especially at bedtime, when she bounded onto my bed before settling down. And first thing in the morning there is now no one to accompany me to the loo or race me down the stairs.
Oh gosh, I am sorry to hear about Prudy. I know how bloody horrible it is when you lose a furry companion. Sending virtual hugs and much love your way.
ReplyDeleteOh Fiona, I'm so very, very sorry to hear about Prudy.
ReplyDeleteFrom all I've read she obviously had a lovely, long and full life, and the best of company. Hugs xxx
That's such sad news ... but take some comfort in the fact that she had a wonderful life with you. I'll be thinking of you.

It is hard to say good bye to a much loved pet. I would say she had a pretty good life with you and knew she was loved. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you. I'm sure you will gradually get used to life without her and just be able to enjoy the happy memories.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of Prudy's passing Fiona it leaves such a void. Will you get another, there are so many looking to be rehomed?

Oh Fiona, I am so sorry.
ReplyDeletePrudy was such a pretty girl and you couldn't have loved her or done more for her but having to say that final goodbye is just awful.
When you feel sad just look at that gorgeous picture of her luxuriating on top of the chair and remember that she had 16 years of being queen of the house.
Loads of love. xxxxx
I'm sorry to hear of Prudy's passing. She was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read this. My condolences to you. I still remember vividly losing my Tabitha after 19 years. She may not be here now but she is always in my heart. Just hold your precious Prudy in yours.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx
Oh, no, Fiona. I'm so sorry. I well know the pain of losing a beloved pet.

Oh Fiona, I am really, really sorry to hear that. As a fellow cat lover, I know exactly how it feels to lose a beloved feline friend, the house just isn't the same without a cat in it. I sobbed bitterly when my old cats died.
ReplyDeleteBut what a lovely life Prudy had with you, and what a gorgeous photo with which to remember her.
It's too early just yet, I'm sure, but I can't help thinking you will want another cat in your life at some stage. xxx
Oh Fiona I'm so sorry to hear your news, they really do wrap themselves right around your heart don't they?

So sorry. She was a great cat I am sure and was much loved by you too. xx
ReplyDeleteOh no, that's really devastating. Bless her beautiful little paws. Yes, they mean so much to us. Every day they make us laugh and give us the best welcome when we come home. She sounds like a fabulous companion. I know exactly how you are feeling. Sending lots of love xxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Fiona. They really are family members and I can only imagine your sense of loss. My thoughts are with you. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, Fiona, I'm so sorry to read this. It's always so very sad to lose a pet, particularly a long-standing one. Trite it might sound, but time really is a great healer. Thinking of you x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your loss. Its always hard when a beloved pet passes away. Thinking of you x
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so so sorry ... I understand your pain so well... she'll miss you that's for sure and for a while ... I'm with you ... Amitiés... bises

ReplyDeleteWe have had several telephone conversations I was so sad to hear this news having met Prue she was such a loving lovely little cat who loved lying by the fire, in the sunshine and being close to her Mum and no words I can say will take the pain away that you are feeling at the moment but you know you and Prue are in my thoughts. She is close by in her resting place in the garden, and being looked after now by your dear Mum.
Lots love hugs suexxx
I know exactly how you feel the sense of something missing is massive. Its taken me a year and I'm still not over him being gone. I send hugs x
ReplyDeleteSo so sorry to hear this, you must be heart broken, but I know that she would have had the best of times with you and obviously loved you as much as you loved her...sending love d x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of the loss of Prudy. You will have your good memories of her and hopefully this will be a comfort to you. xxxx
