Sorry for your loss. I hope you carry your fond memories of her with you forever, but soon shed the loss you feel now. It’s difficult, good luck. ❤️

I'm sorry for your loss, mate. It's hard. :(

[–] OverfedRaccoon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Sorry for your loss. We lost our kitty at the start of the year to an aggressive cancer we thought we'd caught early enough with surgery. My heart goes out to you. ❤️

[–] Putykat@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

It's so hard to say goodbye. I'm so sorry.

I had to put my tux boi down due to cancer over two years ago. I am so sorry.

There's another one out there waiting for you. I found one, and so will you. Until then, send a kiss up to the foot of Rainbow Bridge.

Condolences. She looked like a wonderful little one.

As someone who has lost a pet (not a cat) I can say that it never really feels the same afterwards

I've had time to process the grief but it still never feels the same as when you had them around

Take as long as you need to process the grief amd allow yourself to feel it, don't push it down

It's okay to feel it and grieve for your cat

Today marks the one year anniversary of our beloved cat's death. He was the sweetest fatso ever. We miss him everyday and his brother still yowls for him every night.

Cats are irreplaceable. You'll miss Gigi forever. Remember her and she'll never die.

[–] Roli_Poli@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I’m so sorry for your loss as well. I can tell she was very loved.

Sorry for your loss

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sorry. It’s tough to lose a friend.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

I heard she was best.

💔

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'm so sorry to hear. She looks like a great cat.

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sorry for your loss.

The cats of the world already miss your company. And they will welcome you back into their world whenever you are ready for them. They all knew your friend, and they loved her.

[–] Lemur@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It is never easy to lose a family member. You were lucky to have each other.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Sadly, all cats and dogs eventually ascend to godhood.

I'm sure your kitty knew how lucky they were to be loved by you.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

She was a beauty. I’m so sorry for your loss OP. <3

[–] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

RIP little kitty. I know how it feels to lose a furry little family member. Sorry for your loss. At least Gigi had a good long life.

[–] ginslo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's never easy. So sorry for your loss.

Really sorry for your loss. Often tougher losing a furry member of the family than a human one, heh. I'm sure you have him the best life you could've! 🫂

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Sorry for your loss. She was a real beauty of a cat. She will be sorely missed. :(

[–] TheNitroZeus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

She looks like a beautiful cat and it looks like she had a good life in your home. Sorry for your loss.

[–] donuts@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm so sorry for your loss. She's beautiful and looks so happy and peaceful in this picture. It's clear that you gave her the best and most wonderfully loving life a cat can have.

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I am sorry for your loss. I took our hamsters death worse than my dad's.

[–] Sputnik34@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Im sure she knew how much you loved her. I'm sorry to hear :(

[–] jellos_jigglin@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry to hear this sad news. Gigi was beautiful. I had a mackerel tabby, too, but mine was short-haired. He was also mine for a little over 11 years and I miss him every day. I hope your heart heals soon.

[–] faceless@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

she was a Maine coon

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

hugs My old girl will greet her and make her feel loved <3

[–] navitux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

oh my God, I'm sorry for your lost, rest easy little cat

[–] MegaUmbreon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

RIP Gigi, she looked like a sweetheart. She's very lucky she had you to spend her life with ❤️

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry for your loss. Glad you had such a great friend for 11 years.

[–] Mikekm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry for your loss. I haven't lost a cat in many years thankfully, but it's never easy and I still remember the fun times with my old friend. I hope you still remember the good times with Gigi.

I was crushed when I had to ok putting my last cat down. It felt like I'd let him down even though there was no better option. We eventually adopted another furball. Maybe we'll see all our furry buddies again someday.

[–] Zhao@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

She was a beautiful cat. I'm sorry for your loss ❤

[–] CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm so sorry for your loss. I really believe you'll see her again one day. Until then, hold onto the memories and love another who needs you too.

[–] therealzordon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like Gigi was a good companion

Looks like a very good cat.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

I miss cats a lot more than people.

My cat died four years ago and sometimes I still wake up and think a bunched-up section of blanket is him sleeping next to me. He was 18 when he died and I actually take some comfort now from the fact that he almost certainly would not have lived this long anyway.
