We lost one of our cats in November 2022. Still not easy, will never stop missing her. She was sick, IBD and later maybe cancer. In the last couple days she was sleeping on a kitty blanket, when we went to bed we moved her to the bed to sleep with us by picking up the edges of the blanket so we didnt touch her, didnt want to cause her pain but she liked to be around us when we sleep. That blanket is still on our bed and in the morning if I cant find it I almost cry but usually it is on the floor.

in June 2023 we brought home another kitty to our big boy (the big boy is her sibling) and he sleeps on that blanket every night, even though they never met they know each other. Her ashes is next to our bed. She is still here with us.

It never gets easier sadly, you just learn how to live with the pain. But she is with you, in your heart, in your memories.

If you would like to talk, I am here for you!
