http://www.petloss.com is a wonderful group of caring and compassionate
animal lovers.  Every Monday evening at 9PM Eastern Standard Time there is a
short candle lighting ceremony. Also, you can email the site owner to have
your kitty's name put on the "Bridge List" (read about the Rainbow Bridge
there).  I urge you to visit the site and strike up conversations (or just
lurk) in the chat room.  Many kind people with words of comfort can be found
there.

I'm so sorry about your cat.

nevermind humperdink he is a troll who cares
nothing about anything but himself.  Usually i
find him humorous but i think he has nerve poking
fun at such a subject.  Never mind him.

It's such a set-back, has stopped my progress cold ( I have other problems &
was doing better)
Anyway, those problems should be posted elsewhere, so I'll just say again,
thank you

It won't help just yet, but I know *exactly* how you're feeling. I
volunteer at a rescue shelter and sometimes we have to let them go. It's
never easy; Sheba, my favourite cat there, had to be put to sleep last
month, you can see some photos of her here if you want:
www.g6urp.co.uk/sheba - do you have any photos of your cat you could share
with us..?

(Note this is a non-binary group so if you do have some photos, put a link
to them here rather than posting directly).

All the best,

Ivor

Allow me to add my condolences to the others.  I had the very same
experience many years ago -- her name was Elizabeth.  It's so hard to go
through.  What was your dear girl's name?

        Rainbow Bridge
     revised by, No More Retail

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close
to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special
friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored
to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are
made whole and strong again, just as we remember them
in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small
thing; they each miss someone very special to them, whom
had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one
suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Their bright
eyes are intent; Their eager bodies quiver. Suddenly they
begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass,
Their legs carrying them faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friends
finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never
to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face;
your hands again caress their beloved head, and you look
once more into the trusting eyes of your friends, so long
gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

*** "And nothing but peace and the love of your Dear Friends"****

* Author Unknown of the original poem a few lines have been changed *

*** This should be added ***

****"Always remember We will be there even if you can't see us.
We are always Watching and Waiting. That cool puff of air you
feel across your cheek, that fleeting touch, the feeling you have
that I was walking across your bed, that moment you swear you can
hear us, that flicker of movement out of the corner of your eye.
Is just our way of saying I love you and I am with you always even
in the darkest time We Will Always Be There. Till our paws touch again
always know we love you and cherished our special time together"***

Her name was Mazer-originally Maizey, but she was a big girl, Maizey didn't
quite fit
I have printed off many things from the Rainbow Bridge that are so beautiful
But I can stop this crying. And, this is the first time I've admitted this-I
don't like my other cat-she's not the Mazer

As long as you don't let on to her-- it's not her fault, after all.  
Just as we don't really love all our kids the same (or at least we LIKE
them in different amounts), we feel differently about our cats.  The
same rules apply:  we have a perfect right to our feelings, and we treat
them pretty much the same nonetheless.

My last to cross the Rainbow Bridge was Camille.  Informally, she was
known as "Mealer".  So I believe we have something in common.  :)

How did you come up with the name "Mealer"?
I'm trying to give my other more affection, it's just hard

> Hello Sad eyed Lady,
i'm sorry for your loss,..I know the feeling.
If neccesary ask your doctor for something like xanax..When my mother
died.I was going to pieces..the Xanax realy helped,especially with
sleep.If you do get them only take them when neccessary during the
day..but take one at night before bed.
They really helped me get thru the worst part of the grieving procces.
I know its hard to believe,but you will start feeling better.
I wish I could help you more.

Thank you, zippy. I'm already on meds for depression & anxiety (Xanax in
fact) but I try not to take them during the day
It's weird, I was ok for 2 days a couple of says ago, my depression was
somewhat under control, now I'm regressing, all the good I'd reached has
disappeared
So, guess I start over. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply

no sad-eyed lady i don't agree with you.  Your not
starting over with any progress you made with your
past depression.  Your at a point of grief now and
sadness due to loss of your cat.   I do not
specifically know what YOU are going through, but
i know what your going through in a general sense.
 It's a normal human reaction, but your
definitely not starting over from before.  It's ok
to be sad over your loss.  Just try not to think
of losing any progress you made before.  I don't
think that's the case.  You'll be ok, just take it
as it comes.  You wanna talk feel free to email me.

Thank you Bryan, I'm reazlizing now that my other cat who is blind & brain
damaged & other medical problems, is feeling this loss also, I've been too
self absorbed to notice. She never had a real voice before, just kinda
chirped, and now in the mornings she just cries
So I'm making a special effort for her, cause she misses The Mazer too,  we
talk about her (crazy, huh?)
But I still have no motivation, just sit in front of TV all day-I think
tomorrow they will call me to pick up her ashes. I have her place ready with
my 2 other cats who died long ago
Thank you, I really am trying not to obssess about this, but I can't turn
off my brain

I don't take her to the vet. when I got her in 1995, they said she'd be dead
in 6 months...so, now 10 years later
She gets along fine mostly with sense of smell & hearing

Do you know that cats talk to each other in their own special
vocabulary that is different from what
they say to humans?  You don't want your cat to lose her ability for
cat-to-cat chat, so you need to get her out to socialize with other
cats eventually.

Hi edie, Unfortunately, this blind cat can't be around others. I've thought
about that in terms of adopting another, butI don't think she could handle
it.  Maybe I'll change my mind after a while & give it a try. She was close
the the other act because they were rescued & adopted together
Thank you for your ideas and writing back

How did I come up with "Mealer" for Camille?  It's rather like "Mazer"
for Maizey, don't you think?    (Ca)mille-er, phonetically is "meeler",
and I suppose the spelling of Mealer came from her being such an
enthusiastic eater.  It was just so "her"!

Perhaps if you give your other cat a nickname that seems to be
especially "her", you'll grow closer to her.  I would guess also that
the more you go out of your way to show her affection, the more you will
come to genuinely feel it.  Talk to her about the Mazer, as well.  Cats
can be very empathic listeners, and she probably feels the loss herself.  
These are things I would do as a part of turning grieving in a positive
direction, but of course they're only suggestions...

It's always so hard to go on without a loved one, but in my experience
at some point there comes a realization that we are never _really_
without the loved one.

I like that name Mealer. My other blind cat's original name was Zoey, but
mostly I call her Doggie, because even from the very beginning, she is
constantly at my side and follows me everywhere, so she's "little Dog" or
Doggie
Yes I'm really trying to be closer with her-she isn;t crying as much, and i
do talk to her about Mazer, cause i know she misses her too. I've started
letting her sleep with me-at least until dawn when she starts romping on my
head, they she's out of the bedroom
Thank you Diana for talking with me. I know it all takes time. Take care
