My Cat Ramona Died

[corarose]

The poor calico girl suffered as she was dying and my Sister would not take her to the vet and get her put down.

I just got home from class and she is gone. Her little mouth and eyes are open and its so sad.

I delivered this Cat when she was born and I am going to miss her so bad.

My Little Girl is in Heaven tonight with her Doggie Sister Lulu, her bird Tilly and her little Kitty Family and my Mom.

God Rest your soul you little baby girl. I loved you Ramona aka Samantha.

1. Sorry to hear that....

Sorry you are sad corarose.
Tomorows a new day ..... Cheer up.

2. I am so sorry

I know what it is to lose dearly loved cats and dogs. It is never easy and even harder when you must make the decision to hasten their death. They are the most precious gifts we have, they are unconditionally loving and giving to us. If I can't meet my dear pets on the other side, I want to go where they are, or nowhere at all. I am so sad for you today.

3. I am so sorry.

I have a 17-year old cat that has been with me all my adult life and I can tell she is getting old and tired and cherish every moment I can spend with her. I'll miss her terribly when she is gone.

My deepest sympathy on your loss.

[slackmaster]

4. Please accept my condolences

Losing a cat is one of the hardest times for a cat person. Every one I've ever had was like a person to me, a true friend who loves you unconditionally.

[Syrinx]

5. man, you are really having a rough patch lately

I'm really sorry to hear. My condolences go out to you. Here's hoping you have some good luck in the near future!

[david_vincent]

6. I understand your pain

It's so difficult to lose a pet. Give yourself as much time as it takes to grieve. I'm so very sorry for you.

[XanaDUer]

7. So sorry!

:(

[Wcross]

8. Im sorry for your loss

At least you gave her a good life while she was here, thats all she asked for and she paid you back with her love and affection. Mourn your loss and don't be ashamed to cry.

[CanuckAmok]

9. So sorry, corarose.

At least you gave her a good, loving home. She was one of the lucky ones.

Cheer up soon.

[Lady Freedom]

10. I'm so sorry to hear it!

Wish I had something to say that could help the way your felling.

[corarose]

11. Thanks guys I have to go have a Drink at a bar right now

I don't drink and I have to get out I am breaking down. That was my little Girl.

[GaYellaDawgDem]

12. My thoughts are with you corarose

I know it's a very tough situation to deal with (and still sometimes is 5 years later for me). But overall, I hope you get to a point soon where you think more of all the fond memories of your Ramona. If you're interested, there's a site at http://petloss.com that I found very helpful to me when my Alexis passed away. My sincerest best wishes for everything you're facing Corarose!

13. I'm so sorry

that is so hard, and it just never gets any easier. May she live forever in your memories.

Her suffering is over now, thankfully. May you meet again beyond the Bridge.

14. My condolences.

:hug:

[UrbScotty]

15. Rest in peace, Ramona.

My deepest sympathies to you, corarose!

[Dookus]

16. I'm sorry for your loss, Corarose...

but I'm even sorrier that Ramona suffered so badly. You posted here on October 29th saying how sick she was and how she was in pain. Many encouraged you to get to a vet ASAP and end her suffering.

Sadly, she continued to suffer and died a horrible death. I'm sorry I can't be more sympathetic, but I think letting a very sick cat suffer for weeks is unconscionable.

[Sequoia]

17. I'm sorry.

I know it's hard to go through. I put my cat down 3 weeks ago because of the suffering. I was sad and hated to do it but I didn't want her to suffer. I'm sorry your little cat is gone and here's a cosmic hug!

[corarose]

18. Thanks again everyone

It's so odd not having her come up to me anymore for food.

[Fenris]

19. Ramona, come closer

Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Will pass as your senses will rise
The flowers of the city
Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes
And there's no use in tryin'
To deal with the dyin'
Though I cannot explain that in lines.
Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As to be by the strength of you skin
Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I'm in
But it grieves my heart, love
To see you tryin' to be a part of
A world that just don't exist.
It's all just a dream, babe
A vacuum, a scheme, babe
That sucks you into feelin' like this.
I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
With worthless foam from the mouth
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin' and returnin'
Back to the South
You've been fooled into thinking
That the finishin' end is at hand
Yet there's no one to beat you
No one to defeat you
'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
I've heard you say many times
That you're better than no one
And no one is better than you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you gotta be just like them.
I'd forever talk to you
But soon my words
They would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring
Everything passes
Everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday, maybe
Who knows, baby
I'll come and be cryin' to you.



So, so sorry corarose. Lots of :hug:.

20. I'm sorry for your pain, corarose.

May she rest in peace.

[solinvictus]

21. I'm sorry

We love our little friends.

[oxymoron]

22. I'm so sorry.

Pets are such good friends.

[grasswire]

23. finally...

...that poor animal is out of its misery. It's been months since you wrote that its eyes were "spinning in its head" and it had trouble walking. A "dirty" cat, you called it.

I'm sorry to be hard on you, too, but I hope you'll not get another animal until you're in a position to care for it.

Poor Ramona, RIP over the rainbow bridge.

[corarose]

25. I have two Boys that are well taken care of

Ramona Sam the cat was well taken care of and she had constant Vet Care.

Yes, she had one of the worse habits that a Cat could ever have. She marked her territory and yes it was annoying. When you see Cat Urine coming down the side of your wall it makes you sick and when you have tons of things ruined it makes you even sicker.

But, I didn't get rid of her and I loved her just the same.

What's a bit ODD is I only mentioned it to one person that she was having trouble walking and it wasn't you or maybe it was.

[Don_G]

42. You Did

There was a popular series of cat pee threads for several days if you recall. It's not often you get Matcom to spray on Will Pitt's sister for any reason.

What's your secret?

[Myra]

24. corarose I'm so sorry

You and Ramona had so much time together,
and that's wonderful. But then it leaves
such a huge hole now that she's gone.

My deepest condolences.
Please PM if you need to...

[Rhiannon12866]

26. I am so very sorry, corarose

I don't know the particulars, like her diagnosis or your relationship with your vet, but I can identify and cry with you. Despite all I did and the help of a remarkable vet, I lost my perfect Rhiannon as I slept. She was on the pillow next to me. My friend said that she couldn't leave me while I was awake because she wanted to remain there for my sake. Perhaps this was also true for your Ramona. I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling.;(

[corarose]

28. Thanks so much

I had a class earlier today and when I left to class she was alive and our class let out early. As I was coming up to my building I got a feeling that she has passed and sure enough when I walked into the door she was gone and my Sister had her in her arms and she was dead.

I am sorry to hear about your little one. Sometimes they go in the night when you are asleep and I think that it the best way.

We both have lost our beautiful kids/cats and we both miss them terribly.

[Rhiannon12866]

31. I still do miss her terribly, so I know what you have been through

and what you're facing, yet again. I try to think of all I tried to do for them and how lucky I was to have them in my life, but the pain never entirely recedes and resurfaces at the most unexpected times. My thoughts are with you, corarose. I've been there, all too recently.:hug:

[Mikimouse]

27. The fur children and I send our condolences and good thoughts

Lots of hugs, too!:grouphug:

[specimenfred1984]

29. I can relate, lost mine of 17 years last week

It leaves a hole in your soul. I had to put mine down as he was suffering. It was the hardest and yet greatest thing I could have done for him.

Pets are sometimes more than just children, as they spend their entire lives with us we see them as children, adults and then wise elderly beings as well as friends. They give so much to us flawed humans; teach us, guide us and love us. What an honor that we are accepted by them.

My deepest sympathies for your loss. Always remember that your cat knew you loved her too.

[corarose]

30. Sorry about your loss

In a way you feel sorrow but in another way you are happy that they are no longer suffering.

Thanks so much.

Pets/Kids are true friends that we end up loving like our own.

[Piperay]

32. Very sad...

I LOVE animals and I know how much it hurts to lose them, they are members of the family in everyway. BIG hug :hug:

[corarose]

33. Thanks

I loved that beautiful little Calico Persian Cross Girl.

34. Losing a Friend Is Always Hard

Even when death means an end to suffering, it is still so hard to lose a friend. Death is not the end to love, though; and hers will always be with you.

I'm sorry for your loss. My little calico, also named Ramona, died last year. I know how you must feel, and I wish I knew something that would make the pain go faster.

[nuxvomica]

35. I am so sorry, Corarose

I have been loath to reply because I've followed this story and because the name "Samantha" reminds me of someone I lost who was very dear to me and I can't think of anything to soothe the pain I know you must feel. So I'll stop trying. Hugs, milady.

[Catfish]

36. It never gets easier to lose a pet. Rest in peace and love, Ramona. n/t

[Catshrink]

37. So sorry Corarose...

Ramona was very special and I know you'll miss her.

[ronnykmarshall]

38. Bless little Ramona

I'm so sorry corarose. It's only been two weeks since my boy died, I know what you're going through.

:loveya:

[JI7]

39. that sucks

i lost my dog about 5 years ago and i felt soooooo sad missed him so much. you can never stop missing them, but the horrible feeling you have right when you lose them will get better over time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. I am so sorry corarose.

How awful to come home and find that. I am sure you gave her a wonderful life.

Hugs,Laura

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. I'm sorry Corarose.........

It's heartbreaking to watch them suffer. I'm sorry you had to bear that agony. ~hugggggggggs~

[RandomUser]

43. I'm sorry to hear that

:hug: for Corarose

[Arugula Latte]

44. The best way to make yourself feel better...

is to rescue another sweet kitty from the pound when you're ready. I'm so sorry for your loss. One of my sweet kitties died in May and getting a sick little kitten from a shelter (who is now a super friendly crazy cat!) really helped me.

[corarose]

45. We have a pet limit of two cats per apt in my bldg.

I would love to have a kitten right now because it would take my mind off of the dark road that I am about to travel down at the moment.
I have me Little Al and Rudy and that's my limit.

[Rhiannon12866]

46. Corarose, concentrate on the pets you have. That's what I am

trying to do. They mourn, as well, for the pets you have lost. I have adopted two dogs, over the past several years, because I sensed my remaining dog missed his/her companion. I now have two dogs and a cat, so I understand what you're going through. I wouldn't trade any of them for anything. Please try to hang in there. I know that you have been having a really tough time, lately. As a member of your DU family, I truly care.:grouphug:
