and even the inevitable hurts

[oloriel]

Stummel is dead now.

I think he did not suffer much in his last days.
Jörg has known him for the 15 years of his life. I have only known him for the last three years; but I will miss him nonetheless.
Goodbye, little cat. May you be in a better place, where you can eat what you want without worrying about your kidneys, and where you finally can run outside without getting lost on your way through the door. I loved you.

Stummel ist tot.

Ich denke, er hat auch in seinen letzten Tagen nicht so sehr gelitten.
Jörg hat ihn die ganzen 15 Jahre seines Lebens gekannt. Ich kenne ihn erst seit den letzten drei, aber ich werde ihn auch so sehr vermissen.
Auf Wiedersehen, kleiner Kater. Ich hoffe, du bist an einem Ort, wo du essen kannst, was du willst, ohne dass man sich Sorgen um deine Nieren machen muss, und wo du endlich auch nach draußen rennen darfst, ohne dich auf dem Weg durch die Tür zu verlaufen. Ich hab dich lieb.

I'm so sorry. *gentle hugs*

*hug* I am so sorry. Our cat is 15 now and I think she's got a few years left in her, but I'm worried about her still. It's never easy, but I believe that cats too go to a next world, and can someday hope to meet again the humans who cared for them in life.

ah, shit.

Such a tough situation... I'm so sorry for both of you. *hugs and comforting words*

Oh, honey, I am SO sorry.

It's so painful when animals go. They give us such unconditional love, and allow us to share their world with such openness. The bond between human guardian and kitty can never be overestimated. I hope you have loving support around you right now. I've found that my friends fall into two categories when I lose an animal: those who understand *immediately* because they themselves own pets, and those who don't, who sort of expect you to be fine the next day. Listen to the former group. When my darling dog Bay died, I grieved him as profoundly as when my own father passed.

I'm sending loving thoughts your way.
