Goodbye to my precious Lucy-loo

[YourFriendDeb]

I haven't been on in a while but I knew I could come here for a sympathetic ear from my Boxerworld Family.

My precious kitty Lucy has passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. I'm am feeling so lost missing her, and folks who aren't "cat people" just don't understand how much a part of your family even a cat can be.

We got Lucy as a tiny kitten in 1997. She was so small she couldn't even reach the litterbox! We had to use a shoebox lid as a litterbox for her until she grew a little. She was such a sweetie. We don't know what happened to her, she was in perfect health, just went to the vet in March for her annual vaccinations and she was fine.

I came home from work Friday and found her lying dead on our bedroom floor. I lost it, sobbing like a little baby holding her lifeless body. I don't understand it. She was only 8 years old...its so unfair.

Its only been a few days but her absence has left a huge void in our lives. I still expect to see her at the top of the steps when I come home, I still expect her to race me into the bathroom at shower time and I still expect to see her curled up on our bed. I miss her waiting for me at the bedroom door at night when I was brushing my teeth - she knew it was bedtime and she'd always wait for me, then we'd climb in bed together. I miss her high-pitched "meow" and the way she would announce herself when she walked into a room.

She's being cremated so I can always keep her close to me.

Goodbye my precious Lucy girl. You will live on forever in our hearts.

My heart goes out to you. I am very sorry for your loss. I also have to cats with total oppisite personalities. My girl is very vocal and most of the time very sassy. My boy is a love bug but very skittish. We have had your babies for 5 1/2 years now and I could not imagine life with out either one of them.

Lots of hugs your way from Moosie, Tanner, Darby and myself
Goodspeed Lucy

I am truly sorry for your loss of Lucy. I've always had cats and generally they are healthy and live long lives. I've had two cats, Lewis and Jerri, and both suffered hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, enlarged heart. I had a warning with Lewis and he was treated and lived nearly 6 years with this disease. Jerri's only symptom was sudden death. She was sleeping by my side and fell from the bed with a thud. I awoke and saw her struggling to breathe. I tried CPR as best I could and got no response. She was gone. I did have an autopsy and Jerri had an enlarged heart, same as Lewis who was being treated at the time. Jerri had always been perfectly healthy, good blood work and she had more energy than any cat I've ever known. She was only 6 the night she left for the Bridge. It was so hard because I would recount the earlier days and could think of no strange behavior or symptoms. I would always miss her so much just before bedtime. She would beg to go out on the screen porch for a few minutes just before locking up for the night. After 10 or so minutes she would press her pretty tortie face on the French doors and beg to come in. I missed seeing that face and those bright green eyes for a long time. Still do.

Godspeed Lucy.
