Well I put Cane to sleep at 1:53pm on Friday April 4th. It was the hardest thing I think I have ever had to do. I have cried all weekend so I look a total mess today. I have been getting lots of emails and support from all the members here and I don't think I would have made it without you. Everyone is so sweet, kind, compasionate and loving on this site. I went to the RainbowsBridge web site and put a tribute to Cane on there for the candle lighting for tonight. He will be in my heart for eternity and I will never stop loving him. I honesty miss my baby more then words can even describe and boy does it hurt. Thanks again for all the love you have shown Cane and I, we appreciate it a great deal.

Lynnmo is Cane on Catster? If so, what is his profile number so we can see him too. I know how hard it was for you to do this loving thing for Cane. Be strong sweetie, we all love you.

Lynnmo, I know how hard it was and is for you. I cried for months after and I still miss my Bastian and it's been 3 years. Just remember you also did what was best for him, you didn't want him to suffer. He feels no more pain, he will always, always be with you. You loved him and he loved you and that will never end. You have my sympathies and my heartfelt hugs to you. We are here if you need us. {Hugs}

A: Manx mix
Home Town: Columbia, Missouri
Born: 7-27-91
Passed On: 4-4-08
Special Tribute: My cat Cane was my best friend, my cuddle buddy, my heart, my life. He was full of joy at all times and had this way about him. So sweet but so demanding and I loved that about him. At the end he was very sick so I have to think he is in a better place now. RIP my sweet baby, you'll be missed. MOM

Lynnmo, there really aren't enough words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I know Cane was a wonderful friend and you gave him such a good life. He is healthy once more, and playing with so many of our beloved friends. Remember Cane is his healthy days and may those memories bring smiles and peace to you.

Thanks for eveyone who has tried to help me through this. The Monday night candle lighting was a very nice thing. It's been a week today since I lost my baby and I'm still crying and having a fit like I did when I found out he had to be put to sleep. Does this pain ever stop? I feel like I'm going crazy and I have had a non stop headache for a week. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to have a stroke or heart attack and I'm 37 years old. I know there is no certain age to have one but I know I need to get my nerves calmed down and don't know how. Cane was my buddy, my baby, my life and I miss him more then words can even begain to describe. I can't eat, I can't sleep, all I do is cry....Am I ging crazy?

No, you're not going crazy...you are mourning. Sadly I have been there many times. I have lost a kitty once a year for the past 6 years. I guess all of may babies were turning 16-19 and the loss was inevitable, but the pain was torture. Every loss was like a dagger in my heart. I truly believe that different things help different people. For me, concentrating on all the love that I had given them was comforting. I reassured myself that such powerful love could not possibly turn into nothing with their passing; I truly believe that we will meet again and that our love would never die. In time, adopting another needy kitty was also healing for me; I felt that loving another furry baby in need was the best tribute that I could give my sweet lost angel.
May you find comfort in your heart.Posted 4 years ago by Tigerlilly #

Oh Lynnmo, you need to take care of yourself!!! you will always miss Cane, but he will wait for you at the Bridge, you are far too young to stress your body out to this degree...See a doctor right away, maybe he can give you something to help you relax...You will always have wonderful memories of your time with Cane, but it is a sad fact that our babies don't live as long as we do. Maybe if your able you could foster a cat for your local shelter to help you through this time..fostering is very rewarding in many ways, and you could help save the life of a shelter kitty..

Lynnmo, is there anyone around you, in person, who would understand your grief? We TDKers can, and will, comfort you on line, but with something this difficult, sometimes a physically present person can be of more help. Do you have a physician who would understand? If you can't eat or sleep, that's going to weaken you physically, which will make the emotional pain even worse.
The pain does get less, but first you have to get through it right now.
-
No, Sweetie-you are not going crazy-you are grieving, and hard as it is, it is both normal and necessary. Yes, the pain will ease, and eventually you will be able to remember all the sweet and wonderful things you and Cane shared without feeling that heavy heart ache. You will always miss and remember him, but you will find that you begin to remember the good times more than the pain.
We are with you during your time of grief-feel free to cry, talk and lean when you need to. You have my prayers and good thoughts. Hugs and love...Posted 4 years ago by rainingwolf #

Thanks Sharon, great idea. Yes Lynnmo, I want to hear a funny story about Cane....can't wait

You are grieving and it is normal to go through this when you have lost someone so dear to you. Remember to honor Cane's memory by "surviving" his loss. Cane wants you to be happy and one day to love another little fur friend. It's OK to cry, but you must eat and get some sleep -- even with a broken heart. (You may want to talk to your doctor about not being able to sleep.) Sometimes we need to get our emotions in check by practicing to be calm and still inside. My heart breaks for you...I have been where you are now, and I know how much it hurts.

I believe it's all been said here so eloquently Lynnmo. Prayers and {{{hugs}}} Cane would want you to be the loving, happy person he left here on earth. Mourning loss is an honorable thing...but reach through yours tears to the world of kitty need all around us...many need the intense love that you shared with Cane...he really would want you to give your love to another in need..God Bless!

Lynnnmo, what was your favorite thing that Cane used to do? What's the funniest memory you have of him? What was his favorite toy, sleeping spot, food? If you had one more hour with him, what would be his favorite way to spend it?

Lynnnmo, I am very sorry for the loss of your special furry buddy Cane. I understand the pain you are feeling. When my cat Whiskers who I had from age of 6 weeks to almost 17 years, died in January of 2005, the pain and sorrow was immense. I loved her so much as she helped me get through some of the darkest times in my life and she gave me such love especially in the last 6-7 years of her life. I feel that I didn't do enough for her and feel guilty at times that I should have done more for her. Your kitty is your angel now just like mine is. I have Whisker's ashes in a nice box on my book shelf with a tuff of her hair. Please know that you can come here and we will help you get through grieving for your furry friend. Please know that you will see Cane again when it is time. Rest in Peace, Cane. Hugs and purrs to you Lynnnmo.

You guys here are terrific. I do have 2 other babies that are both 10 years old and I love on them every chance I get. They are both adorable and miss Cane as much as I do. Cane's best freind Momma Kitty passed away at age 15 last year, one day before my Birthday. I knew he wouldn't make it long after her passing because they were joined at the hip. Where ever he went she followed, even to the litter box..lol. If he was sleeping so was she, if he was eating, so was she. They did everything together as he missed her as do I. So the loss of two of my babies in one year is even harder. I do remember all the great stuff Cane did in his life. He was a crazy little boy always into things, climbing up the door frames, attacking people when they wasn't looking, playing hide and seek with me. He loved it when I got this real high pitched voice, hid around the corner and said "CAAAAAANNNEEE". He would duck and then fly into the room I was in then I said "I'll get you" and he would take off running again. We would do this for 20 minutes or so, he loved it. At night when I went to sleep him and Momma Kitty would sleep on the same pillow as I lay on. After Momma Kitty died my other cat Fluff tried to take her place on the pillow with him but Momma Kitty weighed 8 pounds and Fluff weighs 26 pounds. A big difference in weight there and Cane wasn't having it. You know sitting here typing this makes me cry but it also makes me happy to be able to share the loving memories I have of him and Momma Kitty both. I'm glad to have poeple like you guys there to help me in my time of need. Thank you sooooo much! Love, Lynn....If you would like to see pictures of my babies you can see then at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mscandy/sets/72157602286599462/

Cane is the Orange and White one, Momma Kitty is the Grey and Black one, Friskey is the Black and White one and The Grey and White big boy is Fluff. The calico cat is a cat that showed up outside and has never left so I guess you can say I have three babies still. Thanks for taking a look at them and I'm uploading some more as I type this so they should be online in about 20 minutes if you want to take a look back. Also for people who don't know if you click on the pictures it will make them bigger or let you view a slide show.
Love, Lynn -
Sorry I didn't answer your question. Cane was a Manx mix my friend gave me as a house warming present in 1991. Momma Kitty was a stray I took in after she colasped outside my door in 1996. Friskey and Fluff I got at the same time in 1998 and they are Momma Kitties Grandbabies but by two different cats. Friskey was Angels baby and Fluff belonged to precious. They had them about 2 days apart so I adopted the others out and kept one from each litter. You know what is really the funny thing here...I was very scared of cats and my friend gave me Cane to get over that fear, guess it worked and I'm thankful it did!
