My beautiful and precious kitty, Celine, passed away two weeks ago at the boarding facility while I went to visit family for Thanksgiving. She was 18 years old and she had had kidney disease for the past two years. I am devastated as she was always there for me and I feel I have let her down as I wasn't there for her in her last hours. During the day before I dropped her off she went outside into the back garden - a favorite place of hers - three or four times just to walk around her territory and to pee in the rocks (we live in the southwest). I brushed her and gave her her medication and she curled up in her favorite box with her furry blankets and slept as usual. At the boarding facility I took her out of her carrier and placed her in her "condo" but she didn't want to stay and tried to get out. I didn't think too much about it at the time as she had stayed there regularly and was treated well by the staff. The day after we arrived at our daughter's house we got the phone call to tell us Celine had passed away sometime during the night. She was my travelling companion, my confidante - always willing to listen to me no matter what I talked to her about - and she filled my heart to overflowing. We had to make arrangements for her so quickly as we were many miles from home and I feel her death did not really register. It hit me full force when I returned home three days ago, especially when I had to pick up her little urn from the pet crematorium. The house is so full of memories of her and every room I go into, or when I go out into the garden I see her but she is no longer following me. I miss her so much. I am trying to think about all the good times I had with her, all the different countries she traveled to with me, how she filled my heart when the children all left home and at that time she became my "child", how she made me smile with her antics. She was truly loved and truly loved back. Although it is hard for me now I know it will get better with time. My heart goes out to all others who have lost their furry friends. Love and hugs to all.View Thread
