We are going to miss you small one We are going to mourn you small one Dinner time would never be the same without you on my lap TV shows will not be same without you purring on my tummy The boxes would be spared without your scratches But I would rather you shred them to pieces If you only are here still.. We are going to miss you small one.. We are going to mourn you Lornie girl.. In memory of Lornie 10 June 2001- 9 May 2007

My Hunter, gone too soon, - cat
Such a beautiful poem! Oh dear, now I'm crying again. The other day I was uncelebrating the 7th year my Hunter was poisoned and I still grieve. It took me a hour to recompose myself. We are sorry to hear of her passing. If you dont mind, what happened to your kitty?

Oh dear.. so sorry to make you cry again.. I know it is so hard.. I guess the grieving never ends with any loss. My Lornie fell to her demise. We lived on the 10th of an apartment building. She is the climber. She loved to perch herself on the balcony narrow landing. Everytime I see her do that, my heart skips a beat. As such we always made sure the balcony door is closed at all times unless we are in the living room and we can monitor her and the other 6 kids. On that fateful day, somehow the door was left slightly ajar, probably because it was so hot the night before and we wanted to let the breeze in.. We did our usual head count before leaving for work and found only 6.. but we figured she was hiding somewhere.. We came back, switched on all the lights and did another headcount and still 6.. we thought the worst but there was no way to confirm it till the next morning. We checked with the security guards below and they confirmed that a cat fell the day before and they already buried the body. That is probably why I am grieving more this time around coz I somehow feel responsible and also because we never had a chance to say goodbye....

Thanks for the site. I will look into it tonight... God Bless all of you for your sympathies :)... It feels good to know that it is ok to mourn and grief although to many non-animals lover, it seems kind of strange and petty.... She was part of the family. She's the snorer in the pack.. now it's all soo quiet.....
