So sad Tillycat. We’ve spoken about your lovely cat before. RIP Blueberry. Thinking of you in your sadness. Hugs. Tara xx
Very sorry to hear about your loss. I have three hairy assassins, a tabby Bella who is eight and two black and White sisters, Chloe and Maude who are nearly two years old. When Bella was still a baby we also had her brother Kurt. He was run over outside our house and I still mourn him. He was such a character. Simon our ginger cat and Rhubarb his mother lived until the ripe old ages of 17 and 18 with Rhubarb passing away peacefully under our Jasmine bush. It’s the sudden loss which devastates.
Lots of hugs

Hello Lovely ladies
Thank you for all your wonderful posts.
I have been reading through them all and it has made me cry again. He was a very special little chap, I’ve always had cats but I am not sure that I am ready to get another just yet. I know we will at some point but I think I need to be sure that I won’t compare a new kitten to Blueberry, it wouldn’t be fair.
I am consoling myself with the fact that his life was very happy even though it was so short. He was a champion purrer and was always up for a snuggle 
I am sure that when the car hit him he died instantly. I don’t think he would have felt any pain
Thank you again for all your kind thoughts
Love Melissa x
Tillycat, I lost my lovely cat (who is on my picture) in December just after Christmas. I’d had her from a tiny kitten and she was one of my strengths through 2 lots of bc. She died of natural causes, but she wasn’t old, and I think it’s only natural to blame ourselves sometimes - I was constantly asking myself whether I should have noticed her illness/taken her to the vets earlier. I still miss her so much. I couldn’t bear the idea of ever replacing her, but I do now have another cat - I have always shared my life with a cat, and I decided after 2 months to adopt another. He is as unlike my old cat as it is possible to be - (large, fluffy black and white male) and he does in no way replace her, but he is slowly worming his way into my heart and I am glad he’s here. He’s not a substitute, he’s himself and that’s how i want it to be. We all deal with loss (cat, dog ot person) in our own ways. Whatever you do, it’ll be right for you.
Look after yourself and don’t be too hard on yourself, love Mo xxxxxx
Just another hug ((( ))). Thinking of you.

Tillycat, more hugs and good wishes.

I have loved and lost so many cats…My British Blue, Tadzio, who walked on a leash and sat in a rucksack while i cycled, had a really special bond with me. My 21 year old sisters, Margaret and Irene,who died within a couple of months of each other and many many more.
Now i have two jellicle brothers, Reuben and Milo. They were rescue cats and were found in a wheelie bin, waiting for the bin lorry. How can people do these things? My current two were obviously not well socialised before i got them at four months old. They are very snooty and will not sit on my knee, but will sit beside me and they have the loudest purrs i have ever heard. their nickname is the Furry Purries and i love them despite their aloof and imperious attitudes. I never compare one cat with another as they are all so different and i really like that about puds.
Blueberry sounds like a bit of a darling and you will miss him terribly. Everyone is different of course, but i have always found it helps to get another cat quite quickly and learn to love the new one. Others feel this to be a bit disloyal, but the pleasure of knowing a cat is an important part of life.
