I wish I could do or say something to make it hurt less but I can't. For the first time in my life I have a cat who is very attached to me and daily tries to comfort me in my own pain. I don't think I could cope if something should happen to him. He is truly a comfort so I know V-8 will be missed by you both as he was that for you - sent to you at just the right time.LyghteKeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223935327895089487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-29998212134079844892009-07-11T22:39:29.663-04:002009-07-11T22:39:29.663-04:00Hi Jodi- I hope she has lots of fur buddies!

He still misses that dog! <br /><br />I truly believe that your little kitty is at peace now. Older cats do get more affectionate; they start to realize that we can keep them safe and warm, and they reciprocate all the love that we gave them in earlier years.A.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106004037607712134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-83221949970036404182009-07-11T11:12:08.046-04:002009-07-11T11:12:08.046-04:00I am so sorry for your loss.

Yes, last night I almost stepped on her tail... it was a piece of bicycle inner tube.<br /><br />Hi Jan- "cats are real people" - I like that!<br /><br />Ratty- we just know we will outlive most of our pets and yet some of us can't seem to live without them. The happiness as they pass through is too special to forgo.<br /><br />Glynis- Yes, Om has always been blindsided by his attachment to V-8. He never had pets as a child, and didn't expect to feel so deeply about an animal.<br /><br />Oh Daisy-- that is special coming from you. Say hi to Harley for me. Hey, now V-8 can visit your blog every day... she won't need no stinkin' computer!<br /><br />Grampy- yes, we are enjoying the memories of the good parts.<br /><br />Hi Kelly- I tried to catch some of the endearing moments on film!Sharkbytes (TM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08379841586422814410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-29940615447114790242009-07-11T10:09:59.963-04:002009-07-11T10:09:59.963-04:00What a beautiful tribute to your V8.

Although always a sad thing when a pet leaves us, it's what they've left behind that we can keep with us forever - sounds like you have some great memories of V-8 and some great photos as well. A wonderful way to remember her even though it's sad right now she's in your hearts forever and it sounds like she touched you both in her special way. Thank you for sharing this special tribute to her.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360934711986442891noreply@blogger.com
