  • It's been a horrifically challenging few weeks coming to terms with the loss of Queen Lily. What an absolutely amazing companion she was for nearly 24 years of my life. We've been through so much and honestly, I don't know what my life looks like without her in it.
    Sleep tight my gorgeous girl, forever in daddy's heart.

As her cat dad you should be proud of yourself for giving her so much love she kept going for so long. Such a sad, in the end, but spiritually lifting and ultimately happy story. I'm crying again.

She replied Honey, he'd been with you when you first moved out, different relationships, moves. Always there. He was, besides family, my only constant, through everything for 16 YEARS. HE WAS FAMILY. He's been gone 25 yrs, and it STILL HURTS

      2024. She died in 2003 at the end of April and I still miss her. I found some pictures of her the other day in my computer room when I was cleaning it. It's funny sometimes I still have dreams about her so that's kind of a comfort. It's like telling me she's okay and she's at peace and telling me she still with me. I hope the same thing happened with you. I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't realize it's been 2 years already when I saw this video.

      Am going thru it, too. Have a 17 yr old Manx lady who is struggling with arthritis and weakness in her hind legs. She tries so hard and is so staunch about dragging herself around when the legs give way. I am keeping her in a large dog crate and carry her outside 4 to. 6 times a day. She starts back to the house as soon as I put her down, but it gives her a little exercise. I really, really love and respect her. Have had lots of kitties over the years that were family. Each one is still special. You have my sympathy.

    Prayers up ! I'm in my 50s and alone, except for my cats, and dog. Family and friends have passed or moved far far away. I've been diagnosed with the curse of PTSD. If it wasn't for my cats in my life I'd of eaten a round years ago. I need them as much as they need me. My 2 oldest cats are 13 yrs old. I dread the day they go to the after life. I pray every day that we'll be together for eternity in heaven. I have lost some very special cats, dogs over the decades. 1 cat, I cried for 3 weeks straight. It hurt so much. I understand your pain. Sending prayers for both of y'all. Y'all will be together AGAIN in the after life, it's for an eternity then, unlike our short time on Earth. Take care, and God bless both of y'all. 😿🙏

    I'm going through the same thing with my cat. He will be 18 in June. He is starting to show signs of his old age. I'm afraid that this might be our last year together. He has tremors and he's lost a lot of weight. He's not eating very much.
    I will keep him comfortable and try to do things to his food to help him eat. Add water and fish juice to it.
    It's hard losing a pet that you've spent a large part of your life with. His name is Scooby-Doo. He is an orange tabby and he's a rescue. He's my buddy. I love him dearly.
    Blessings and prayers to you your beloved kitty. She'll be waiting on the other side of the Rainbow bridge for you when it's your time.
    Thank the Creator for the many years you were able to have her by your side.

    I think some people will never understand what it means to live together with a pet for such a long time. Our cat got 20 years old... she died (illness) when I was 13. She was already in the family for 7 years before I was born and she was there my whole life until she was gone. For me it was 100% the same if I lost a sister or a brother. I miss her pretty much every day and I'm damn 33 now. Life was simply better with her. I wish you all the strength in the world...she was a beautiful cat.

      Agreed. The loss can be devastating. After I lost my last, he marked my 4th furry kid lost. The oldest was 18 when she passed, the youngest only 2 years old and the others were 15 and 16. I said never again, but I was convinced to take in a stray that a friend found. It’s been a difficult journey as he was a full adult, 4 years old and semi feral when found. He has been with me now for 6 years and I can honestly say that we have fully bonded. For me I think it was much easier to bond with the others who I raised from kittens as it was like I had birthed them myself. This little guy was not just an adult, but semi feral and an Alpha type. He definitely loves getting his way 24/7 and will sass me when he doesn’t but he’s definitely 100% my furry kid. 😁

      @@doolsons I think that's not the case in my personal experience - but I know what you mean. Sometimes it's like "I wish I would have spent more time with her". We always had a big garden, my parents were earning good and she had a great life. Always outside, no dangers, lots of fields, woods, birds, mice... she even went to visit the 2 horses that were next to our old house (we later moved when I was 8 and built a new house in a more suburban area... a typical new houses district here in Germany). Pinki was a protector, a outside enjoyer and still she loved to watch TV with us and just cuddle... but then again she was outside for 2 days in the woods and hunted mice. :)

      Love is the greatest gift of all, and if only people realised it, the purest form on this earth comes from our pets (especially cats in my case being an ardent lifelong lover of them!) How blessed we have been to be able to share their wonderful little lives and know what true love means.

    What a beautiful kitty!! We lost our cat Achilles last April after nearly 18 years of unconditional love. He was the most affable cat with a super friendly disposition. You are so blessed to have Queen Lily in your life as we were with our beloved Achilles. Love watching her stroll on the sofa at her own pace. Absolutely adorable ❤

      Amen to that. Cats have added to and blessed my life for over 70 years. And given me love with no abuse, rejection, neglect or any 'negatives' at all! I don't regret a cent of what I've needed to pay for their care. What joy they add to our lives, and life is cold without one now, but I don't want to go to my rest leaving one behind to who knows what. (I may reconsider this, however, as they need US as well!)

      Sometimes I think it's worse to lose a cat, than a human. Cats don't question your love, they say thank you for each and every meal you give them, they live for you and always give you a warm greeting when you come home. They are so fun to play with and the best part of my day, is when my Daisy climbs into bed with me....drapes herself across my right shoulder and gives me a 10 minute hug every night. In the 4.5 years I've had my cat thus far, she gave me more love & affection than I have ever received from all of my ex-gf's combined. I'm 55 years old and I've come to realize that I will never find a woman that will measure up to my Daisy and I am fine with that.

    This brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful tribute to your Lily. We lost our Casa going on 3 years this April 7th. He was 1 month & 3 weeks shy of 21. He talked all the time, loved everyone, but I was HIS. He found my lap no matter where I was. Gave head butts, kisses, followed me all around the house. He was so healthy most of his life until the last little over a month, he started to fail and died in my husband's arms at 7:20am on the 7th of April 2021. I held him and comforted him before my husband held him. The Vet was to come at 11:30am to put him to sleep. I'm so thankful that he died in comforting arms. We've had beloved, truly beloved pets before Casa--but maybe it was because Casa gravitated to me more than anyone. Yet.....each beloved pet that leaves us rips and shreds one's heart, and despite the healing scars that come--the scars remain because the loss remains.

He will have a special place in my heart like I'm sure Lily has for you. I'm sure you will agree our lives are better because of them and I'm thankful she had such a living person to care for her to the end of her life.

    I am in floods of tears.. Words cannot describe how precious a bond is with a beloved fur baby.. It is priceless. They are so loyal to us, they don't betray us in any way.. All they want is love. Having lost two beloved cats of my own, one from a devastating dog attack and another from stomach cancer, this video has really made me fill up with so much love. I loved both of my babies, but it has taken so much emotional healing to accept what happened to them both, in very different circumstances.. And guilt invades my consciousness!. Some things happen that are completely out of our control, but it's the love and devotion that we hold that rips us apart sometimes.. That we are suddenly without it. You have been a wonderful and loving cat daddy.. So wonderful.. What a warming and loyal tribute to your precious fur baby.. She'll always be with you ( Mentioned a brief comment on another short video of yours) Yes you will miss her, my god you will, the emotional pain is devastating.. Beyond words tbh.. But please remember that you have left such a loyal and loving imprint upon your fur baby, and she took this home with her.. I am sending my love and my warmest blessings to you.. You are a true angel, and I wish there were more empaths on this planet like you.. The world would be a better place for sure. I am also sending you a healing hug spiritually.. Healing takes time.. Be kind to yourself.. Embrace the beautiful memories.. And remember.. You and your soul fur baby will forever be in union.. Take good care of yourself and continue to shine your beautiful light.. 🙏🙂💜

I just lost my Beloved little daughter loving companion and best friend ,Pookie this Febuary 4th Sunday .The pain in my heart at her loss will never go away, but at least I was there for her ,as you were for Queen Lily through her whole sickness and at her very last moments i was holding her on my bed as she was dying we (my husband & i had to take her to an emergency vet 24/7 ,as her regular vet was not available until Tuesday .My baby girl died kn the car service on the way over to the vet and the vet told me when we got there.My little love was 17 years and 9and a half months old and she would have been 18 years old tge day before my Birthday this May, and she suffered for 6 full weeks as the vet told me she was anemic , with a kidney problem a heart murmur, and she had a urinary tract infection .The bond we shared together was so special ,that it tore my heart out when she died .The vet had her on 3 medications and also Purina ProPlan Hydra Care to keep her insides moist as she had lost alot of weight ,went from 11 lbs to 7 lbs threw up and was occasionally constipated.She would cry out in pain.She was the sweetest friendliest most loving little cat i ever had and was more like a little person with fur on her .She went home to our Blessed Lord and Savior and is with her sweet little sister Fluffy at the rainbow bridge waiting for me, but my heart misses her so much as she gave me so much love , and i can feel her presence in my house as the bond we shared together was so special i know exactly how you feel , as my heart is broken and i am empty and lost withot her.At least you got to hold her on your chest as she went home to Jesus, i wasn't so lucky but at least i was there for mygood lityle Pookie's final moments kissing her caressing her & petting her softlyand talking to her softly telling her how much i love her , and will always love her I miss her so much , my heart aches and i cant wait to be reunited with her and Fluffy at the rainbow bridge along with all my other Beloved pets that i've had over the years. It. broke my heart to see my little girl suffer this way and i love and .iss her so much my geart aches.I have lots of pitcures and videos of our good times and also kf her last days right up to thhat very moment on my bed kissing her & loving her as it broke my heart to have to put her soft sweet frail tender little body in the cat carrier cage as i knew it was the last time i would be seeing her .The emergency
    vet and people there were so kind to me and my Beloved litgle daughter Pookie even calling me tge next day to see how i was holding up & even consoled me I have a book if you would like this to read and help youas it has helped me with my loss as it was tragic, it's called Coping With The Loss Of APet, A Gentle Guide For All Who Love A Pet by Christina M.Lemieux Ph.D. and i hope it helps you as i know that we both have a hole in our hearts that ache as we long for our Beloved pets.You were a good daddy to you Beloved daughter and gave her a good life .God bless you always 🌹💖💖💖🦋🌷🎀

    I know the feeling. My cat Milo was there for me during my 15yrs of abuse from my step father. He would always follow me home and then to my room to snuggle up for a nap and treats.
    He passed the year i moved out. He almost died so many times before that but i pike to think he held on because he knew how much i needed him.

    I feel your pain. We had a cat called Tiger who had recurring bladder infection. Even with all the best Vet treatments, nothing worked for him. When he was 18 years old he passed away. We buried him in our garden under his favourite lilac bush. All this was very painful, upsetting. Animals are wonderful and we become attached to them. ❤

    Blessings to you and your beautiful girl. We lost our 19 year old, 3 legged cat 2 years ago. We were devastated. Lived in a home devoid of laughter for 6 months and then, we realised we needed to have another cat, not a replacement but a different cat. We adopted a 6 year old rescue cat and she is amazing. Has filled our hearts with love and trusts us implicitly despite having been dumped by the person she had been with since a kitten. The love that she gives us is humbling. So please, don't think you can never love another cat. Amazingly, each morning when she goes into the garden Yoshi goes straight to Shibui's grave and visits for a while, I tell her she has a guardian angel who will always look out for her, as Lily will always look after you.

    From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the best. Had the same connection to my little best friend for 17 1/2 years. I lost him 2022 and still... He was with me all the time, sitting on me, crawling on me, waiting at the door when I came back from work. Love him so much. Seeing videos like this reminds me of him and made me cry. It's always something so unique to met a cat like these. Every minute was special, and in the last months of their life's they show you even more love. But in my opinion they are doing this because they want you to know that everything will be fine and that they always will love you.
    I don't wanna say something like, ,, don't be sad" because you are and you can be. But remind you little fella. Because that is what they deserve, to never be forgotten.

She was my baby. Sadly she passed away in my arms just minutes before family member got there, I sat there holding her crying my eyes out!
    Now her and Lilly are playing together I bet :)

    I just saw your first short last night. Then I saw that you had to say goodbye. I'm so sorry for you loss, but am ever you were so thankful that you were blessed to have each other for almost quarter of a century!
    You are grief stricken now, and I pray you are able to, when you are ready, find another cherished child to shower your kisses and lay all of your loving upon.
    For now, may every thought and memory of her be a precious one. And, may your heart heal with that small scar, but more so, with that fullness of love that will never leave you.
    That is what I pray for everyday as my pup and kitty ages. I have humbly found that with the losses of my other furchildren. They are our hearts, especially if we live alone with them. And, losing them us so like losing a piece of us.
    I've akways felt that a man who loves his cat, and vice versa, is a totally different kind of love than any other on this planet. That bond is so strong ... it's just different. It's special and kind, unlike any other relationship.
    Your heart will go on ... and, daresay, you are surely a better man for having known and loved Queen Lily! That happens, you know!
    Blessed be!

    RIP sweet Lily. You remind me of Betty Lou a sweet feral we had at the cat shelter I volunteer at. She was a beautiful black and white Persian mix who came to the shelter as a feral. I fell in love with her at first sight. She had a bond with me that was really special. She got me through 5 trips to the OR in 14 months. She even had a special mark on her nose like a tear drop. She passed away 2 weeks after the last surgery that showed that I didn't have a recurrence of a pre cancer i had. I heard a special song about tear drops being blessings from God in the growth they cause. I memorized tge chorus to sing it to her not knowing she had passed that Sat before. Look at Blessings by Laura Story to hear her song. Since her passing I have found many tear drops on kitties. I know God is reminding me of His care each time I see one.
