((((Kathie)))) I was shocked to read this, I am so sorry! I feel so terrible for you and cannot imagine what you are going through. Unfortunately, I kind of dealt with the same thing with Scrabble. His bloodwork was done in Oct and came back pretty normal, and we had to let him go in February of kidney failure.
I am crying writing this just thinking of how you must feel losing two furbabies so close together. Please know I am here for you as we all are. Prayers for comfort for your heart. Big hugs!
 
Kathie, I am so so very sorry. There simply are not words to say what I feel in my heart. You did everything possible for both your kitties, there is no doubt. It is so difficult to loose them both so close together. I have had a kitty pass as quickly as Smokey did. Fine one week, severe renal failure the next. I have had two siblings pass within two weeks of each other. It is so hard to deal with when they go so quickly. I know all of LL grieves with you tonight. You are not alone. Smokey and Zeus are together once again, whole healthy happy. There can be some comfort there. I hope in so knowing that there will be some relief from the huge whole in your heart. What Sienne wrote is very poignant, and remember - they will always be near, close by, tucked away in a corner of your heart.
Smokey must have loved Zeus so much that it was inconceivable to be without him.

I am so very sorry, Hugs abound. Fly free Smokey, you will be missed, never to be forgotten.
 
:cry: unthinkable.... I was so hoping that Smokey would be OK.
I lost my two boys within 6 months of each other. When the 2nd got sick, I told myself he *had* to be OK. There was no way I could lose them both.

Lighting Butthead's candle for Zeus and Smokey at the Bridge...

Oh my goodness .. Life IS unfair!! You did not do ANYTHING wrong .. Your babies went to the bridge only knowing what love was and that came from you .. ((hugs)) Keeping you in my prayers ...
 
Oh Kathy,
I'm SO SO SO sorry Smokey needed to join Zeus...what a love you all share. I wish there was a way to take some of your pain away. Dang, no it's NOT fair. BIG HUGE LOOOOONG HUG, sharing tears...
 
I have tried over and over to write something here that can possibly give you comfort and I just can't come up with a single thing to say other than I am so, so sorry to read this. Like the others have said, you did nothing wrong. Please don't blame yourself or think for one minute that this is your fault. You KNOW you did everything you could have done. When God calls them home, there is nothing any of us can do. Unfortunately, that is the deal we make when we take them into our hearts and love them unconditionally. We know a day will come when we have to say goodbye. Just know there are so many of us out here that wish we could take on some of your burden and alleviate your sorrow but only time will do that. In the meantime, I will pray that peace (Zeus) and comfort (Smokey) find you and soothe your soul.

I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you're feeling either. I, like MJ lost my two boys within 6 months of each other, one last month, and I am still raw. But one week, that is just so harsh. I have no idea what happened to my Alex either. It is painful and horrible and I am still waiting for the day that it starts to get better.

I hope that it gets easier for you faster than it has for me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and my deepest sympathies go out to you.
Many hugs and much love~

Fly Free Sweet Smokey. Land Softly and be with Zeus and all of the many friends that will be waiting to play with you.

((((Kathie & DH)))) This is such sad, sad news. Smokey & Zeus had two awesome guardians, caregivers, parents and friends. I cannot imagine that you did anything wrong. How can unconditional love be wrong? You love both of your furbabies with all your heart and they will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. I am so sorry that must grieve for both of your sweet kitties in the same week. It's not fair and I will go as far as to say...this sucks. Bless you and your husband.

Fly free, sweet Smokey. You are well loved. wings_cat
 
Kathie, What shock you must be in. Take comfort in knowing you gave your babies a great life and did everything for them. They are together now. Fly Free Smokey.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's really not fair - you've done so much for both of them. They would both have felt your love and passed knowing how much you cared for them. I'm sending, along with the rest of LL, love and hugs through the internet and crying along with you.

Look after yourself - you did everything you could.

Kathie, I'm so sorry to hear about your beloved Smokey. My heart is breaking for you. Two losses in one week is a lot to bear. Know that your family here in LantusLand is sharing your grief. We are here for you.

Fly free sweet Smokey.
 
Kathie, I am so sorry to hear of this news. I know your heart is breaking and there is nothing I can write to make you feel better. You have done all you can and that is all we can do. I send you lots of hugs and healing for your heart.

Mary, Stella and Boo
 
My dear Kathie, I am so very very sorry. I wish there was anything i could do to lessen your heartache. I pray that Smokey will come to you to let you know that she is with Zeus and they are whole and healthy.
I wish I could give you a hug in person, but I send you many hugs and prayers. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hold tight to knowing that both your babies are so very close to you, hoping to ease your pain.
All my love, mary
 
oh Kathie. i am so very sorry.
the pain and loss you must be feeling has to be so great. wish there was something I could do to help take away some of it for you. Know that you are in my prayers
hugs.
fly free smokey. keep an eye on your momma for she loves you so very much.
 
Oh Kathy I am soooooo sorry for your loss :cry: I can't even imagine the pain you must be going thru. You're right...Life isn't Fair!!
It's hard to understand why some things happen, but just know that you did everything you could for both of them.
You are a Great Bean and gave them a wonderful life. They are free now wings_cat
I hope your heart begins to heal soon ♥
 
Oh Kathie

So sorry - I am crying with you. Smokey and Zeus are at the feet of Jesus now. You lovingly helped them to the Rainbow Bridge and God called them over.
Loving our animals means providing care during their lives as well as knowing when to lead them to the Bridge. You did this for them and they will always claw at a piece of your heart. Guilt will only make it worse - there is no need for it. They want you to remember them with joy, not guilt.

I am praying for your heart to find peace and healing.

I am so sorry. Sometimes things happen and there is no explanation for it. It makes no sense, is so unfair, and yet it happens and we have to somehow learn to deal with it.

Fly free sweet Smokey. May you soar high and wide and land softly. There are many loved ones waiting for you at the bridge. You are much loved and will be sorely missed.
 
I'm so sorry Kathy, my heart is just breaking for you both. I know there is a plan for you though, because you were a great mommy & friend to Zeus & Smokey. I pray for your hearts to heal quickly.

My parents went through a similar situation, they live in, I call it the back of beyond. All I can say is it's the woods and not many live full time around them. Most homes are vacation homes and are vacant a lot of the time. My parents live there full time. They had a (ironically) diabetic kitty that passed. It's been 3 or 4 years now. Not long after "Fat Cat" passed, a kitty showed up at there house. I was visiting when she came up crying. She was so pretty and so hungry. They started feeding her and she had 4 kittens. They didn't know she was pregnant. Before the kitty could get the kittens weened, she became pregnant again. My parents have no idea who the daddy is because they don't know of any other cats that live anywhere near them. 5 more wore born. They had all 10 cats spayed or neutered. Not long after the mother cat weened them she disappeared. They've never seen her again. They couldn't bare to let any of the kittens go and now have 9 full grown cats that they hoop toot too. This healed my Mom & Dad's heart after "Fat Cat" went on to the rainbow bridge.

I'm not wishing you 9 cats to take care of. I just wish you healing and hope.

Lantus Land is greiving with you. I will miss hearing about Zeus & Smokey and as I said before, my heart breaks for you.
Hugs go out to you.
 
Oh Kathie, this is just too hard. but know that they are together waiting for you at the Bridge. Smokey no longer grieves for Zeus they are together, healthy and happy. You did everything you could for them, sometimes it is just out of our hands.

(((Kathie)))
My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your two beloved babies. It is so unfair that both Zeus and Smokey were taken from you in such a short time. I know they both knew that they were deeply loved. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
 
I'm speechless. So very, deeply sorry you lost them both in such a short period of time. You are such a wonderful mamabean and did right by them both. I hope your heart can find a way to heal. At least you know they're on the next journey together. Land softly, lil Smokey. Please come visit soon.
 
Dear Kathie,

I'm extremely sorry to hear about Smokey and I'm saying a lot of prayers for her and you.
It's really hard to accept the reality. May time can heal your sorrow.
 
((((((((Kathie))))))))
This is the part of life that is so hard to bear...the saying goodbye...and it is so sad that
you have had to say goodbye to your two kitties in one week.....sooooo strange....sooooo sad.
Please know that we are all hugging you across the miles, sharing your sadness and sending you our condolences
It is a mystery indeed...but please do not think it is your fault in any way......
Fly free Smokey....you and Zeus are together once again.... wings_cat wings_cat
 
Knowing the loss of one, I can only imagine the heartbreak you are feeling now. Know that many are sending love and care, and that many sweet souls are greeting your kitties at the bridge. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
 
i'm so terribly sorry, kathie. losing one is hard, but losing two little ones in a week is beyond understanding. my heart goes out to you. fly free and land softly, little ones. hugs to you, kathie.

i'm really concerned about your vet's comment about the food possibly poisoning smokey. when you feel able, would you let us know what kind of food you were using? i'd hate for anyone else to have this happen.
 
Kathie,

I am so sorry for the loss of Smokey and Zeus. I know how hard it is to lose two so close together. If you look at the bottom of my signature you will see I lost my diabetic cat and then five days later my other cat stopped eating for no apparent reason and I lost him as well.
I asked my self was it something I did wrong? The vet told me that my cat Andy must have just been mourning Lilly and they were the best of friends.
It is a loss I know is very hard to get through and try to understand. Its still been two years and I still get upset when I think about it. I hope you will find a little bit a peace throughout this. Again I am so sorry.

Terri
 
((((Kathie)))) I am so sorry to hear about Smokey, and so incredibly unfair after losing Zeus. Unimaginable and so so unfair. The tiniest consolation, that Smokey and Zeus are together again, and looking down on you, their the wonderful mamabean. (((hugs)))
 
I am so so sorry to hear this.. two kitties in the same week must be so devastating.. Perhaps they can keep each other company in heaven too. Snoozing and playing and eating their favourites treats together..

((hugs))
 
I'm so sorry for your losses and the heartbreak that comes from having to say goodbye to these dear furry friends.
 
Dear (((((Kathie))))),
Smokey needed to be with Zeus, but we are so very sorry that you had to say farewell to both of your wonderful kitties. They are flying free. Their love will always be with you and they will watch over you until you meet again.

In deepest sympathy,

Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)
 
Oh Kathie-
I'm just seeing this and my heart is so sad for you. It does seem so unfair to lose your babies within a week. As others have said, and I will say again, You did nothing wrong. You loved them and now they are together again. It is hard losing one, but both is so hard. I lost my 2 boys within 2.5 months of each other. Consider yourself hugged; allow yourself the time to grieve.

Karen
 
Kathie,
I'm so very sorry for your loss....Smokey is now with Zeus....

cry whenever you want to or feel you have to....it's ok to grieve....I understand the shock of it all too well....but be gentle with yourself...you did your very best for both of them...they knew it and loved you for it....

i'm truly sorry your heart is broken :cry:

Fly Free Smokey wings_cat many angels greeted you and you are not alone....Zeus is there with you.....
