I posted a message in the Grief section but I also wanted to post a message here. My precious cat, Tank, has gone missing and it appears that he won't be coming back. I'm a mess, completely overwhelmed with sadness. I've had many animals pass away in my life, all of which affected me, but this time it is absolutely heartbreaking. I can't express my feelings of guilt and loss without getting emotional and without breaking down in tears. I can't believe he's gone.

About a year ago, Tank was diagnosed with diabetes and that is when I found this site. I want to say thank you for providing a place where people can share ideas, consult, and comfort each other. It is obvious that we all care a great deal about our cats. Thank you to the people who responded to all the questions I had and who helped me learn how to manage the diabetes. I was able to manage it to the best of my ability and he seemed to be just fine this past year.

Tank was given to me by a co-worker after his dog brought Tank up to the house. He was only a couple of days old. I
bottle fed him (which was hard work!) and cared for him night and day. He grew up to be my constant companion and I loved him dearly. He loved to drink water from the kitchen faucet and sleep between my feet. He loved to play with straws and loved to "help" me change the sheets on the bed. He loved to sleep, belly up, on my front porch. Things will never be the same without him.

I'm so so sorry! May your grief get less and less each day and your memory of your dear Tank stay strong in your heart forever.
 
Oh Chris, I wish I had the words to let you know how much I can relate to your feelings. It is so very very hard to lose our dear friends, constant companions, our babies.....harder for us who treat diabetes I think.
I also wish I could just reach out and make it easier.
But we all know we can not.
We all go thru it one way or the other.
We all lose them.
I am so sorry.
Words cannot express.
And you sent Tanks things to newbie kits...I think you sent me a pm.
The final gift Tank can give.
Hugs,
Lori
 
Chris,

I know that times like this are difficult, and my heart goes out to you. Yet as I read your post, I sensed that Tank will never really be gone. With the presiouus memories you made with him, and the passion I sense as I read about them, I know that Tank will always be in your heart and you in his!

I pray that you may find peace in your suffering,

Roberta

Chris, I'm so sorry to see that your Tank is gone - my heart goes out to you. They are such a vital part of our life - you gave him that extra time with your love and devotion.

I'm so sorry - may you find some consolation in the wonderful memories you have of your time together. It's never long enough.

Oh Chris....I'm so sorry about Tank. I smiled when you talked about Tank helping you change the bedsheets....hahaha...my cat does the same. I hope wonderful memories can help you through this difficult time. Tank was sure lucky to have you. Sending hugs to you.
 
Dear Chris,
Soo sorry to hear about your Tank! And what a wonderful thing to think of the fond memories so soon in your pain! :-) You made me cry and smile all in the same post.... I guess that is what our fur family members that pass are suppost to do!
HUGS TO YA,
 
I didn't know you or tank, but I know the love we all feel for our special kitties. I'm so sorry for your loss. (((Chris)))
