It is so sad to lose a beloved pet. I've been through it. It's a wonder that the memories of those little ones stay with us. You did a great job of describing his unique qualities, and all cats have them. He looks like such a sweet cat and must have been a joy to have around. They can be great companions and seem to sense our moods, as your Yoda did. My cats were 19 years old when I lost them. Even with lively new cats, I still think of them often. judi

    I know what you mean. I have other cats, and love them dearly, but it doesn't seem the same. I've had cats live past 20 years, but sadly, Yoda didn't make it. Thank you for your understanding and sympathy.

I am so sorry you have lost this one. It is so hard when they go. We know this when we get them. We are only storing up future tears, but they bring so much joy into our lives with their short ones that we go and do it again and again.

    You're so right. The joy and love we receive far outweigh the sorrow of losing them. I've been through this so many times over the years, but I'm been lucky. All of them have come as grown-up strays, and have lived 15 years or more with me. They are little blessings in fur. Thank you, Jim.

Oh, hell, Yvonne -- this reminds me so much of my Obi-Wan ... and, no, I am NOT making that up: we had Obi-Wan since my oldest was about 8 (he's 26 now) and we had to let him go just shy of two years ago now... Gosh I cried and cried (even though I wouldn't let anyone around here know that), but I held him at the vet's until the medication took him under. I don't think you ever stop missing them... you just find your 'new normal' round the house. 'My girls' (a pair of sisters we 'rescued') keep me company these days, but there'll never be another Obi! ;) Thanx for sharing your Yoda! ;) Yvette

    I feel the same way. Yoda and I had a bond that I didn't have with any other except his brother, PC. I love the other cats, but so far, there's no real bond. This cat was exceptional. He was nanny to everyone else, including me. There will never be another Yoda, either. Thank you for sharing this with me.

I am so sorry my friend. I know you did what was best for Yoda, but I know it still has to hurt you and your other little ones. You are still in my prayers. I love you my friend! Teri

    Thank you, Teri. I appreciate your prayers and love. Love you. I'm still praying for Rascal, too. PC has to have antibiotic shots every two weeks, and has for quite a while. Pre-emptive medicine. He's had so many bladder infections, and this keeps them down. I give it to him myself.

Oh no Damommy,
I am deeply sorry you loss your companion and friend. I know it's hard to lose your, Yoda. I have a 11 year old curly black mid size poodle, called Energy. He's getting older like me. I know, Dilly misses Yoda. Yoda was a beautiful cat with those big beautiful eyes. It will take time to get over your loss. Hang in there and know I will pray for your healing. I pray the siblings will not miss her so hard. Take care and God bless you.

Hello Yvonne. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Yoda. That's the only downside to having animals around. Unless it's a turtle or maybe a parrot, we say goodbye to them first.

Robert

This work has reached the exceptional level

Your story about the bond you and Yoda had for many years was straight from your heart, Yvonne. Although he is in Heaven, you will never forget your 'baby.' I LOVE the picture of Yoda with Dilly. What a beauty he is ( and little Dilly). I could feel you love for him and still after he has passed. I love the picture I can see of Yoda sleeping 'like a baby.' I love the way he accepted and taught the other kitties. What a special companion. I know you made a heart-wrenching decision, but you did it out of love for Yoda. He is watching you from Heaven and understands. He is happy and healthy. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Respectfully, Jan

Sometimes God just tells us it is time and we need to listen. I have a friend who refuses to give his 18 year old cat to God and my heart cries.
The others will adjust with love

    The will adjust, so true. I just couldn't let him suffer. I loved him too much for that, but I sure do miss him. Thanks, Barb, for understanding.

There is nothing quite as sad as having to make that decision about a pet who is suffering from something that cannot be fixed. I've been through it more times than I like to remember. Your words and description of this beautiful cat are filled with love that reaches one's heart. He's at peace.

    Thank you so much for this. Yes, I've been through it many times over the years, but it never gets easier. But watching a loved one suffer is worse.
