My precious angel, Kitty Milo McSorley-Bonekovic, left me today, peacefully in my arms, just like he came into the world 15 years ago.

It breaks my heart to share such a sad photo, but even at 5.5 pounds compared to the 23 pound hunter he used to be, you can see the love and devotion this little man nurtured me with for most of my life up until his very last strained breath. I refused to put him down when the Vet said to last Saturday because Kitters wasn't ready yet. But today he was. I picked him up with his 15 year old Teddy Bear, and he tucked his face in me lifelessly with one are around his baby, so we went to the doctor where my sweet furbaby was sent to the angels in my arms. I'm only able to share since Chris medicated me, so I probably won't be around for a while.

Wretched pain - makes no sense, does it?

With tears,I say I'm sorry for your loss..There love is always so unconditional.....Cyn

Sorry to hear of your loss. Your Milo will always be around, you hav 15 years worth of memories to keep alive in your heart. *huggs*

I too was fortunate enough to have played with and cuddled Milo. He was truly a special kitty. I miss him already.

I resized the pic for you Lisa.

Thanks, Penni. Today I'm okay, it's weird. Yesterday was torture trying to make the right decision. Maybe it's the Xanax, and every so often I choke back tears, but now I'm surrounded by a certain peaceful sense of being. I choked terribly when I lost my Cockateil. Then Chris and I had matching vivid dreams that our little birdy just left US to be with Gramma B (Chris's mom.) When Chris told me Gramma B. and Max were waiting for Kitty Milo, things seemed right.

I've heard Milo cry three times this morning and went to find him. It hurts, but he's okay now. He's okay. Thanks everyone. I never posted the hell I went through when he was sick and didn't think I'd be able to talk about it, but I'm working double-time convincing myself that death is part of life. It's hard, but Milo's death was a beautiful, heartwarming experience since he left tucked sweetly against my heart. I'll never forget that, and that's what I'll focus on during rough times... sweet furbaby tucked in my heart. And Sachi's nurturing concern had her face to face with me all night. 50 pound Pitbull snuggled so deep in my face because she's sad, but she also knows Mamma needed that, with Vooey right at my feet and Chris watching over us, crying himself.

Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear about your furbaby. You gave him so much love - a kitty couldn't ask for a better life. (((HUGS)))

What sad news Just know, Milo is there with you now and always will be. But in his heaven, he is once again a 23 lb hunter. Best Wishes through your tough time.

Lisa,

I am so sorry for the loss of your furbaby. What a beautiful picture.

Awe Lisa I am saddened by your lost. (((HUGS))). I know there is a special place in heaven for our beloved fur babies! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

DeLarla,

So sorry to hear about your loss. I went through the same heartbreaking experience with my baby boy, Reese. I also had him for 15 wonderful years. I was 3 months pregnant with my first baby. I was so distraught, my family & friends were afraid that I would have a miscarriage. Please know that in time, it does get better. If you need to talk, write me any time.

Oh Lisa, I know this is hard. I'm so very sorry. Let me know if you need anything

Lisa - terribly sorry - I can truly feel your pain.....I love my animals so much and I have a 17 year old daschund who is dying of cancer tumors. I know his days are numbered and it is very hard on both of us.

Take care - nancy

Awwww Lisa, I'm so sorry.

HUGS !!!

This is the weirdest thing I was sitting here reading your story and all of the beautiful replys from the banders and my cat jasper jumped up onto my lap and sat there as if reading all of the replys himself. Jasper had never ever been up on my computer desk before I think the hum noise kind of keeps him away. I was crying and all upset about the loss of Milo and here comes my furbaby to comfort me. I had my cat before my children and I consider him my first born. I do not know what I will do when that day comes but we have to live each day to the fullest and let our loved ones know exactly how we feel about them each day. Take care Lisa and remember what a good life Milo had and I am sure like my cat he probably lived better than some people :>

Oh Lisa I am sitting here crying my eyes out for you and Kitty Milo. He was such a special cat and I loved meeting him in September.

Just think He is up there in Heaven watching over you and eating ALL The tuna he can.

I am so sorry Lisa.

Lisa, I'm so sorry about your beloved furbaby.
