I am overwhelmed by all the wonderful messages of love for me and the memory of my beautiful cat - please know that I read them but find the task of replying just too heartbreaking. Thank you all so very very much xxxxxxx
Dear Kate, I was very moved to see how loving and tender you were whilst accompanying Prudence . She lived a "wonderul" life with you and the other cats. I'm sure she would not have changed one thing during her time with you. Warm hugs to you dear friend.
Hello Kate, I just saw this video; you did a good thing, letting Prudence go (die) at your home. It is always hard and sad when a beloved cat is going further on her journey. She could say goodbye in a very loving and warm environment. It was September’23 when my beloved cat Tom passed away and we let hem die at home, in his favorite blanket. And you know, it still hurts and I still miss him every day. Kate, I wish you and your family all the best and much love and happiness. I do love your both channels, all the videos are so much better and enjoyable than regular telly. Warmest regards from the Netherlands, Syl 😊
So sorry about Prudence, what a beautiful kitty. Never easy to lose a pet. The love and care you showed in her final hours brought me to tears. How fortunate all your kitties are to have a mother as you.
I am crying buckets of tears here as you talk of Prudence last hours with you and her cat sisters. Your cat-people are loved by all of us around the world and I know that I am not the only person who will be touched by the loss of Prudence. Love to you, Kate, and thank you for sharing your life and talents with us.
Kate, I’m so sorry. Sitting here with tears in my eyes as you talk about Prudence. You blessed sweet Prudence with a wonderful life. She was indeed a beautiful cat, as are Rita, Sadie and Norma. Hugs.
I am sorry for your loss of beautiful Prudence. This video came on the same day I had to say goodbye to my 18 year old cat. I did take him to be put to sleep, but the Dr came out to the car, I held him as he fell asleep. It was peaceful and he was ready. RIP, Prudence and GrayGray.
Sorry to hear about Prudence, you did exactly the right thing letting her pass peacefully in familiar surrounding, take care Kate. Love the prog rug too xx
I’m so, so sorry to hear about Prudence, it is so sad when we have to say goodby to a pet, even though, as you say, it’s something we expect, it doesn’t make it any easier. You gave her the best ending she could possibly have, your sadness was so evident during this video. Sending you love and a hug Kate, take care. Xx
My world has become very small since the pandemic but your channel found me and I enjoy watching and listening to your lovely days. Thank you for bringing joy to my life here on the south east coast of Ireland...I felt your sadness when you spoke of your cat; it made me feel very emotional. You are a gifted storyteller, and your crafting is superb...I certainly enjoy having a cup of tea with you when I watch these videos. Big hugs.
February 7 2024 Maryland USA: Although this is years out of the huge worldwide pandemic that certainly changed all of our lives. As witth Kate she demonstrates during those periods how we can through this wonderful internet community with support. We might not know each other but we share the human spirit of caring for alll. I continue to watch Kate’s past video’s for inspiration on all levels. Whether creating new makes to just life in general. Kate truly is a gift to us all and how we have grown to love her family. Such beautiful individuals with talents that compliment the other. Like a strong tree, Kate is, and look at the branches with her family and us…the lime green sofa family. Best of heallth Kate and we are anxious for your next makes and watching Anna’s love of quiltinng also.
Losing a dear pet is so difficult. I am glad you were there with her at the end. She was a lucky kitty to share your home and life at the Last Homely House with you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful tribute to your beautiful Prudence.
Dearest Kate.. I am so, so very sorry to hear about Dear Prudence; she was a beautiful cat, indeed. Thank you for sharing all of her lovely photographs. Take care. ~kendra
You did the right thing by keeping Prudence at home...her final days were filled with love and kindness and family...it’s what every creature (us included) deserves during our end-of-life time.👍🏻💕👵🏻
Dear Kate, I am so sorry. One of the cruelest parts of life is that we love our little companions but that they have such short lives. We all cry with you. Though I think that Norma is going to live forever.
It’s so difficult when our fur babies pass. Just think how lucky you both were to have had one another to love. What would we do without our four legged familiars🙏🐾💚🦋🕊🐾
There’s so much loss in all of our lives these days. How good of you to stay with Prudence until the end - and what a privilege. Many of us can’t be with our loved ones as they lay dying, because of Covid-19. You’ve opened up a space for all of us to sit together and comfort one another on the lime green sofa. None of us has to be alone. Thank you.
I held my Luke a whole day while he was dying.....that was 2 years ago and I miss him very much.....I do enjoy Norma because she reminds me of Luke...Luke was a marbled bengal and a loving mischief maker
I feel your loss back then. This past September 13, 2023 we had to say goodbye to one of our dogs at only 8 yrs of age. They were found in an abandoned house. Their mother died shortly after rescue. We adopted his brother at age 3 months. Our second of that litter, the one that passed in September,had been adopted & abused. He was 15 months old when we got him. When we introduced him to our other three, his brother Yogi Bear, sniffed Thor’s bottom,turned & faced my camera & grinned. I believe he knew it was his brother. I think his brain cancer could have been result of the abuse. Then November 21st,, 2023, the alpha of our pack quit eating & would only take couple syringes of water & could no longer use back legs. Olive our beautiful border collie, was 16.5 yrs old. Cause old age. Then came February 9, 2024. Our second pup Apollo came through tv station showing adoptable pups at local shelter. At age 18 months he started having epileptic seizures & went on medication. He nearly died then when vet realized he was allergic to the meds & had to go on human meds. Apollo had such silky ears & a fox like tail! Daughter taught him to say I wove u! He loss total use of hind legs, took him to vet who noticed his gums were very pale. Then found a large tumor in his abdomen. We took him home for our final goodbye. He passed February 24, 2024. Each of their final times, the remaining dogs took turns standing guard right by our dying dog. They knew what was happening. Pets become part of your family. I cried for your loss. I know it’s been few years but first time I had seen this episode, yet I cried. All your cats are beautiful! I especially love the calico “patchwork” cats. Kind of quilted cats! I dearly love animals. Poor Yogi Bear is our only dog & we are looking for another pup as he is extremely lonely. Your story of their adoption & loss, really brought back our memories of each of ours & loss of our two cats we had before these 4 dogs came into our lives. I still miss them too!❤
I’m very sorry to hear that your beautiful sweet Prudence has passed. You gave her a wonderful life. My cat Purrl was 16 yrs when she passed.I was there when she was born and also when she passed . Although it’s been two years I still think of her every day. It is so hard to lose a dear feline friend.
What a beautiful tribute to Prudence. She was much loved and even though you prepare yourself on the loss of a loved one it is still heartbreaking. Sending you much love, comfort and peace
I'm quietly shedding lots of tears for Prudence and you Kate. How wonderful she passed away with you by her side stroking her. I've always been a dog person but do like cats as well. My neighbour rescued a black cat and named him Hobo. He jumps up on the wall when I drive in from work and we spend a few moments catching up on our day, he always finishes by putting his nose to mine and then jumps down. I consider myself very blessed that he chose me to have a chat to every day. Xxx
I’m so sorry about Prudence. I can see your heart is sore. You are a brave lady to sit with her till her end. God bless you for taking care of your animals so well. Prudence was a beautiful cat indeed. Big hugs.
I saw this comment on a friends page and it came to my mind when you shared about Prudences’ journey 😢 “when you lose a pet that was more than your friend, the memories go on, the don’t come to an end.. remember she loved you with all that she had, and to have you as her family I bet she was glad.. so think of the girl you raised as your friend and know she loved you through to the end” ❤️💕🥰
That was a beautiful gift to give Prudence, Kate, your presence and comfort. She certainly looked very much at peace. It might have been easier on the other animals too, knowing what was happening instead of just not seeing Prudence around anymore. Many hearts broke today and many tears shed because of beautiful Prudence. She was blessed to live with Kate at the Homely House.
Very very sad to hear about Prudence; she had such a wonderful life with you Kate. The best decision to let her go surrounded by her family. We are all thinking of you, sitting on the LGS with tears in our eyes.
My heart goes out to you Kate. Our little black cat we called Velvet died two years ago this month and had been a lovely gentle companion for more than 22 years. I miss her of course but like you I know she had a happy life and knew she was loved very much right until the end. You are a very caring lady and did your best for Prudence. God bless you.
You are such a beautiful person. I feel your pain. losing an animal is never easy .I did watch when you introduced your cats .I fell in love with them all and I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I was a cat in your window, blessings to you.
As a cat mom, I share your pain in losing Prudence who I know both gave and received great love and joy in your loving cat and human family. sending hugs and comfort.
I am so very sorry to hear that you've lost your precious Prudence, Kate. I commend you for deciding to bring her back home last March and letting her be in the loving comfort of familiar surroundings, come what may. I had a cat with lymphosarcoma 16 years ago, and he underwent chemotherapy for 5 months but died before that treatment was completed. The treatment was worse than the disease. I will never put another cat through that kind of ordeal again. I mention this to offer reassurances that compassionate palliative care at home is often the kinder choice. May wonderful memories of your days and hours with Prudence bring you peace. Blessings, Kate.
Kate I've only just watched your Proggy Mat videos and love them, but I just wanted to send a hug to you as I know, only too well, that we never forget the pain of losing our pets. When you described Prudence you could have been telling the story of my little Calico cat 'Fury' (named after a car!) She was 19, and after a completely gentle life, passed away one morning - after a stretch and a yawn, she put her head in my hand and sighed, then just left as peacefully as she had lived her life. It's a privilege to share our lives with them. Thank you for sharing that with us. Xxxx
I have no words. It is so hard to loose a friend. I lost my dog Tess a year ago and I still miss her. I had her with me for 15 years. The important thing is that they know how much you love them and care for them. The mats are beautiful and will always hold memories of Prudence.
Oh Kate...my heart is breaking for you...I'm so very sorry. Prudence was a very lucky cat to have you to call her "human". Sending tons of hugs for you and scratches for the cats.
I’ve never written before but I’ve watched all your videos Kate. My heart is broken over Prudence- your life mirrors mine way across the ocean. One day I will send you a real letter- I’ve thought about it for a couple years and then I get busy. Bless your tender heart.
I am sorry for your loss, Kate. We will never forget our furry familiy members, right? I thought while listening that it is such a gift to be loved, be home and be in peace when time has come. Not just for our pets. I will be sitting here at the lime green sofa for a bit, be still and just keep you company. Take care, Frauke
Your story about Prudence has touched my heart. My Enzo Girl was 20 years old when I lost her to a fate much like you described! Not one day has passed when I haven’t thought about my precious little sidekick; she got me through some really difficult times in my life! And now I have learned you have lost Norma too. Sending you hugs Kate!
Bless heart little heart, Prudence, she had a wonderful life. She will be missed so much. Pets are our children also. You are a strong lady. I have a heavy heart along with you. Love the item you made.
My dear Kate... I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have two kitties myself. Isabelle is 20 and Herbie is about 6. They're both rescue kitties from different places. Because I'm elderly and handicapped I say I have any more but I know I'll be lonely without them. Isabella helps me like Norma helps you. My prayers are with you.Love from NH
I'M so sorry for your loss. Prudence will be missed, how lucky we are to have our fur babies. They enrich our lives and we morn their passing. When I'm sad or don't feel well I still feel the pressure of my Tom a beautiful Siamese cat who always took care of me when I was ill, sad or out of sorts. I knew when I was getting sick because he would try to bath me. It's been many years since he passed, I miss him still. Sending love and hugs from California.
I’m so sorry to hear about losing Prudence , I cried,😭just broke my heart 💔 you’re such a sweet, kind lady. I always look forward to seeing ur videos, makes my day.. God Bless you Kate 🙏🏻❤️
Dear Kate, my heart is full of emotion for you in your sad loss of the beautiful Miss Prudence. I had a similar cat and I think they are called calico cats. Prudence a most beautiful cat, lived in a wonderful home and received so much love and care from you Kate, a most loving, caring kind lady. Much love. xx
I shed some tears as well as you shared your loss of Prudence. You’re grief is so palpable and you’ve managed to endure yourself in my heart even more. Love you, your channel, and so enjoy seeing your fur babies. Blessings dear Kate!
I’m so sorry to hear about Prudence. I’ve lost 3 animals in my life and it is such a hard thing to swallow. They are your family. My heart goes out to you. By the way I love your RUclips videos. It seems that we enjoy some of the same crafts, and very interested in the ones you do that I don’t.
Beautiful Prudence😢! I still grieve for my Binx boy I lost two years ago. I’ve so loved all my beauties over the years but he was my special one, a tri-pod, polydactyl, very needy. I’d rock him like a baby…..he had kidney failure at 15. I feel your pain, your grief, and your love❤.
I’m so sorry to learn about Prudence. She will live on in your memory, and also in all of ours, thanks to the glimpses you have given us into your life. She certainly was a sweet and beautiful cat. Your draft excluder looks perfect, and I am so glad you also made the mat for the windowsill. May Norma, Rita, and Sadie use it happily and in good health for a long time to come.
and now, I've seen it to the end. Cats are family...I grew up with a beautiful calico named Angie. we had her from 74-90 after I left home. she was there for my teen angst. She was so beautiful! I am so glad you were there with her in the end.
Oh my heart breaks in your loss of Prudence... I love all your cats. She was a very lucky cat to have you care for her so sweetly at the end. So sorry Kate.
If only everyone could experience this kind of love and compassion….I believe God allows us to have such a sweet relationship with our fur babies because He wants us to understand unconditional love. It’s bittersweet…and so kind of you to have given her transition to Heaven so much thought. That’s love Kate…just pure love. It comes with risk but the reward is so worth it. Heartfelt Hugs to you.
Oh Kate, I’m so sorry, such a beautiful girl. We’ve lost several cats and three dogs and it doesn’t get any easier. But I know we wouldn’t have been without any any of them. Our current cat, Stitch, prevents my husband from doing his rug, just like Norma, and you’ve given me a great idea for what he can do with his leftover wool. Thankyou for sharing this. Lots of love.
I feel your pain Kate, we lost our dog last year. We took her to the vets and was fortunately allowed to go in with her. I still get emotional when I think of her and cried for Prudence too. Sending love and hugs to you all x
Kate, you and all your loved ones have my sympathies on the loss of Prudence. Thank you for being such a kind human and giving her the best life and exit possible. Gentle hugs...
I am heartbroken over your loss, Kate. I can’t see my keyboard clearly from the tears in my eyes, so I can’t imagine the tears you shed for the loss of dear Prudence. I did the same for my 15 year old, Black Cat, when he died. He would have been miserable at a vet’s office, so I just kept him warm and comfortable with me until he slipped away. Take comfort in your furry friends that are still with you, and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Beautiful draft stopper and kitty perch. The colors are lovely. So sad to hear about Prudence. We did the same thing with our first cat Willy. She was a few months short of 20. The vet wanted to put her down, was not happy that we insisted on bringing her home. She could no longer jump up on the couch so we made a spot for her and picked her up. Then just sat with her. Buried her under a tree in the front yard. Our pets are part of the family. Even once they are gone, they never really leave us as long as we have fond memories of them.
I'm sorry about Prudence. What a sweet kitty. All of them are lucky to have a wonderful caretaker like you Kate. I've been through the similar experiences. It's hard to lose them. Sending love and hugs to you and all the kitties...
Oh what a blessing you were to Prudence and Oh my goodness....that sweet, sweet Norma... I cried being a cat lover. I could never put one to sleep. I do understand there are circumstances in which it has to be done. To watch you love that precious kitty into the after life was a true act of love. The pictures of her at the end were lovely🙏🏻💖🙏🏻
You gave her a wonderful life Kate. She must have been very happy. The way she died could not have been better. Surrounded by love in her own home. Does Rita misses her sister? I hope that your memories of Prudence will make you smile and will help to soothe the pain of her loss.
Aaaaw. Sweet Pru. I really will miss her beautiful face and easy purr. You're in my thoughts Kate. Animals really are part of the Family. You took such good care of her right up to the end. 💗💗💗
I’m so sorry to hear about Prudence. Your story brought tears to my eyes even though you were very stoic about it. I’ve been through this several times over the years with my dogs and it’s never easy. In my case I was persuaded to take them to the vet at the end, though I hated doing it. I was always allowed to stay with them till the end or I would refuse to let them go. So many times it seems to be kidney problems. It’s the hardest part about having pets. Looks like the mat is a great success!
I am so sorry to hear about Prudence. Makes me cry. I know how hard it is to lose them. A friend of mine who loves cats always says, "the only thing cuter than one kitten is two kittens." They will love the mat on the window.
Dear sweet Prudence was beautiful, lovely companion. she had a wonderful life and death, thanks for your caring understanding ways you extend to your fur family. I admire your compassion.
I am overwhelmed by all the wonderful messages of love for me and the memory of my beautiful cat - please know that I read them but find the task of replying just too heartbreaking. Thank you all so very very much xxxxxxx
The Last Homely House. No need to reply. I've been there & understand. Memories of Prudence are there to be enjoyed. Hugs to all the pets.
You are loved! Prayers of healing.
I was very touched that you shared those last moments with Prudence with us. Please take care. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Oh Kate. Thinking of you at this painful time. Beautiful Prudence 😢❤️. She had a wonderful life with you. Sending love and hugs to you.
Dear Kate, I was very moved to see how loving and tender you were whilst accompanying Prudence . She lived a "wonderul" life with you and the other cats. I'm sure she would not have changed one thing during her time with you. Warm hugs to you dear friend.
Awh, Kate. Busy hands with tears. Those of us visiting on the Lime Green Sofa pause with you and offer our condolences.
I’m so sorry Kate, our fur babies are so special and fill a space in our hearts that nothing else can. She had a wonderful life with you. 😢❤
Oh, I’m so sorry Kate. Bless her heart. Tears shed all around the world for your darling girl. x

I was touched by your love of sitting with Prudence & giving her almost another year of life! Beautiful story!
Poor prudence. I'm so sorry to hear this. Bless you Kate. ❤️ I can hear the sadness in your voice. 💞
O I’m back again this morning you are addictive young lady loved your draft excluder and at window mat enjoy your day lovely 🥰 lady
Dear Prudence. I am glad you got those extra months with her.
I’m so sorry to hear about Prudence passing, it’s such a loss when we lose our beloved pets
Dearest Kate.. I am so, so very sorry to hear about Dear Prudence; she was a beautiful cat, indeed. Thank you for sharing all of her lovely photographs. Take care. ~kendra
Thank you for the journey through Proggy. So sorry about Prudence. You are so loving and giving to your beautiful fur babies.
You did the right thing by keeping Prudence at home...her final days were filled with love and kindness and family...it’s what every creature
(us included) deserves during our end-of-life time.👍🏻💕👵🏻
Dear Kate, I am so sorry. One of the cruelest parts of life is that we love our little companions but that they have such short lives. We all cry with you.
Though I think that Norma is going to live forever.
It’s so difficult when our fur babies pass. Just think how lucky you both were to have had one another to love. What would we do without our four legged familiars🙏🐾💚🦋🕊🐾
There’s so much loss in all of our lives these days. How good of you to stay with Prudence until the end - and what a privilege.

So sorry about Prudence. We always let the other pets say goodbye when one died. It never gets easier.

Sorry to hear about Prudence. You did the right thing.
Bless you. Our world needs Your love and compassion. You are showing us the way. Love to all.
So sorry about Prudence. It always hurts because they take a little piece of our heart with them when they go. God bless.
I am not a cat person, but I have to admit that Prudence was a beautiful cat. Sorry for your loss!
You are such a beautiful person. I feel your pain. losing an animal is never easy .I did watch when you introduced your cats .I fell in love with them all and I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I was a cat in your window, blessings to you.

I'm a huge cat fan myself. So, so sorry to hear about Prudence, but so glad you had that extra time with her. :)
I am so very sorry to hear that you've lost your precious Prudence, Kate. I commend you for deciding to bring her back home last March and letting her be in the loving comfort of familiar surroundings, come what may.

Like everyone else I am so sorry for your loss. Bless John for his help. Hugs and blessings.
Kate I've only just watched your Proggy Mat videos and love them, but I just wanted to send a hug to you as I know, only too well, that we never forget the pain of losing our pets. When you described Prudence you could have been telling the story of my little Calico cat 'Fury' (named after a car!) She was 19, and after a completely gentle life, passed away one morning - after a stretch and a yawn, she put her head in my hand and sighed, then just left as peacefully as she had lived her life. It's a privilege to share our lives with them. Thank you for sharing that with us. Xxxx
I am so sorry about the loss of your beautiful cat Prudence. She was loved.
I have no words. It is so hard to loose a friend. I lost my dog Tess a year ago and I still miss her. I had her with me for 15 years. The important thing is that they know how much you love them and care for them. The mats are beautiful and will always hold memories of Prudence.
Oh Kate...my heart is breaking for you...I'm so very sorry. Prudence was a very lucky cat to have you to call her "human". Sending tons of hugs for you and scratches for the cats.
I’ve never written before but I’ve watched all your videos Kate. My heart is broken over Prudence- your life mirrors mine way across the ocean. One day I will send you a real letter- I’ve thought about it for a couple years and then I get busy. Bless your tender heart.
I am sorry for your loss, Kate. We will never forget our furry familiy members, right? I thought while listening that it is such a gift to be loved, be home and be in peace when time has come. Not just for our pets. I will be sitting here at the lime green sofa for a bit, be still and just keep you company. Take care, Frauke
Your story about Prudence has touched my heart. My Enzo Girl was 20 years old when I lost her to a fate much like you described! Not one day has passed when I haven’t thought about my precious little sidekick; she got me through some really difficult times in my life! And now I have learned you have lost Norma too. Sending you hugs Kate!
Bless heart little heart, Prudence, she had a wonderful life. She will be missed so much. Pets are our children also. You are a strong lady. I have a heavy heart along with you. Love the item you made.
My dear Kate... I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have two kitties myself. Isabelle is 20 and Herbie is about 6. They're both rescue kitties from different places. Because I'm elderly and handicapped I say I have any more but I know I'll be lonely without them. Isabella helps me like Norma helps you. My prayers are with you.Love from NH
I'M so sorry for your loss. Prudence will be missed, how lucky we are to have our fur babies. They enrich our lives and we morn their passing. When I'm sad or don't feel well I still feel the pressure of my Tom a beautiful Siamese cat who always took care of me when I was ill, sad or out of sorts. I knew when I was getting sick because he would try to bath me. It's been many years since he passed, I miss him still. Sending love and hugs from California.
I’m so sorry to hear about losing Prudence , I cried,😭just broke my heart 💔 you’re such a sweet, kind lady. I always look forward to seeing ur videos, makes my day.. God Bless you Kate 🙏🏻❤️
Dear Kate, my heart is full of emotion for you in your sad loss of the beautiful Miss Prudence. I had a similar cat and I think they are called calico cats. Prudence a most beautiful cat, lived in a wonderful home and received so much love and care from you Kate, a most loving, caring kind lady. Much love. xx
No matter how many pets we have, losing even one leaves a void in our day. Precious Prudence.
Dear Prudence....rest pretty girl. What a joy she was! Thank you for sharing her with us. 🐈💔 Thinking of you Kate
I shed some tears as well as you shared your loss of Prudence. You’re grief is so palpable and you’ve managed to endure yourself in my heart even more. Love you, your channel, and so enjoy seeing your fur babies. Blessings dear Kate!
You gave Prudence another year of life and another year of love. So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry to hear about Prudence. I’ve lost 3 animals in my life and it is such a hard thing to swallow. They are your family. My heart goes out to you. By the way I love your RUclips videos. It seems that we enjoy some of the same crafts, and very interested in the ones you do that I don’t.
Beautiful Prudence😢! I still grieve for my Binx boy I lost two years ago. I’ve so loved all my beauties over the years but he was my special one, a tri-pod, polydactyl, very needy. I’d rock him like a baby…..he had kidney failure at 15. I feel your pain, your grief, and your love❤.
Kate, I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Prudence. You made her last months, days and hours gentle and peaceful, bless you! xo
Prudence purring so close to the end of her sweet life...yes it surely was the right decision to keep her at home...A virtual hug for you Kate ... 🤗 💖
I’m so sorry to learn about Prudence. She will live on in your memory, and also in all of ours, thanks to the glimpses you have given us into your life. She certainly was a sweet and beautiful cat. Your draft excluder looks perfect, and I am so glad you also made the mat for the windowsill. May Norma, Rita, and Sadie use it happily and in good health for a long time to come.
I’m so sorry about Prudence. What a beautiful life she lived, filled with love and adventure. They are family. ❤️
So sorry to hear about Prudence. She was a beautiful cat.
and now, I've seen it to the end. Cats are family...I grew up with a beautiful calico named Angie. we had her from 74-90 after I left home. she was there for my teen angst. She was so beautiful! I am so glad you were there with her in the end.
Oh my heart breaks in your loss of Prudence... I love all your cats. She was a very lucky cat to have you care for her so sweetly at the end. So sorry Kate.
Prudence had a wonderful life and very blessed with you. Rest in Paradise 💞
She will be dearly missed. Much love to you.
If only everyone could experience this kind of love and compassion….I believe God allows us to have such a sweet relationship with our fur babies because He wants us to understand unconditional love. It’s bittersweet…and so kind of you to have given her transition to Heaven so much thought. That’s love Kate…just pure love. It comes with risk but the reward is so worth it. Heartfelt Hugs to you.
Oh Kate, I’m so sorry, such a beautiful girl. We’ve lost several cats and three dogs and it doesn’t get any easier. But I know we wouldn’t have been without any any of them.
Our current cat, Stitch, prevents my husband from doing his rug, just like Norma, and you’ve given me a great idea for what he can do with his leftover wool.
Thankyou for sharing this. Lots of love.
Our pets become such an important part of our homes. What a blessing Prudence was to you and you to her. Hugs to you, Norma, Sadie and Rita.
Awe, so sorry Kate. The little hole in your heart will be filled with her memories. She had a good life with you.
Our four legged companions steal our hearts and it is never easy to say goodbye. Hugs for you Kate on the loss of your Prudence. ❤
So sorry to hear about Prudence. They leave a giant hole when they die. We all send our love to you. ❤️❤️❤️
I feel your pain Kate, we lost our dog last year. We took her to the vets and was fortunately allowed to go in with her. I still get emotional when I think of her and cried for Prudence too. Sending love and hugs to you all x
Kate, you and all your loved ones have my sympathies on the loss of Prudence. Thank you for being such a kind human and giving her the best life and exit possible. Gentle hugs...
Bless your heart for the wonderful kittens and their life and passing.🙏💖
How loved and blessed your cats are to have such a happy safe home prudence will be missed keep safe Kate
We shall all miss dear prudence and remember her gentle spirit.
I am heartbroken over your loss, Kate. I can’t see my keyboard clearly from the tears in my eyes, so I can’t imagine the tears you shed for the loss of dear Prudence. I did the same for my 15 year old, Black Cat, when he died. He would have been miserable at a vet’s office, so I just kept him warm and comfortable with me until he slipped away. Take comfort in your furry friends that are still with you, and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Beautiful draft stopper and kitty perch. The colors are lovely. So sad to hear about Prudence. We did the same thing with our first cat Willy. She was a few months short of 20. The vet wanted to put her down, was not happy that we insisted on bringing her home. She could no longer jump up on the couch so we made a spot for her and picked her up. Then just sat with her. Buried her under a tree in the front yard. Our pets are part of the family. Even once they are gone, they never really leave us as long as we have fond memories of them.
I'm sorry about Prudence. What a sweet kitty. All of them are lucky to have a wonderful caretaker like you Kate. I've been through the similar experiences. It's hard to lose them. Sending love and hugs to you and all the kitties...
Oh what a blessing you were to Prudence and Oh my goodness....that sweet, sweet Norma... I cried being a cat lover. I could never put one to sleep. I do understand there are circumstances in which it has to be done. To watch you love that precious kitty into the after life was a true act of love. The pictures of her at the end were lovely🙏🏻💖🙏🏻
You gave her a wonderful life Kate. She must have been very happy. The way she died could not have been better. Surrounded by love in her own home. Does Rita misses her sister? I hope that your memories of Prudence will make you smile and will help to soothe the pain of her loss.
Aaaaw. Sweet Pru. I really will miss her beautiful face and easy purr. You're in my thoughts Kate. Animals really are part of the Family. You took such good care of her right up to the end. 💗💗💗
I’m so sorry to hear about Prudence. Your story brought tears to my eyes even though you were very stoic about it. I’ve been through this several times over the years with my dogs and it’s never easy. In my case I was persuaded to take them to the vet at the end, though I hated doing it. I was always allowed to stay with them till the end or I would refuse to let them go. So many times it seems to be kidney problems. It’s the hardest part about having pets. Looks like the mat is a great success!
I love my cats. It is so heartbreaking to lose even one of them. They are with us for such a short time but remain with us in our heart forever.
I'm so sorry about Prudence, she was a beautiful cat and you did the right thing by keeping her home with you. The rugs are beautiful.
I am so sorry to hear about Prudence. Makes me cry. I know how hard it is to lose them. A friend of mine who loves cats always says, "the only thing cuter than one kitten is two kittens." They will love the mat on the window.
We will all miss Prudence ❤
Dear sweet Prudence was beautiful, lovely companion. she had a wonderful life and death, thanks for your caring understanding ways you extend to your fur family. I admire your compassion.
She was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have her. Such a pretty girl.
Oh dear, sweet Prudence, RIP darling girl. HUGS to u Kate.
Kate, I'm so sorry to hear Prudence has passed. She was a beautiful cat and will be missed.
Tears for ALL of our beloved pets !!!!
thanks for sharing lovely memories of your dear Prudence. Helps me weep for all my remembered ones.
