I believe that pets provide a link to the love of our creator. That's why I think their loss is so hard to deal with sometimes. But there is a message here to consider. Pets love unconditionally and except for cats, which I know little about, are always glad to see you. Cat's can't give away that they care cuz if they do you'll start try to train them to do stuff.</p> <p>The best advice I can give, and this will be worth what you've paid for it, is to get another kitty. Audrey has passed on leaving room for the new kitty to do in a little different way what she did. Remind you of love and affection.</p> <p>Love Dad</p> Sorry to hear about your loss.

The best advice I can give, and this will be worth what you’ve paid for it, is to get another kitty. Audrey has passed on leaving room for the new kitty to do in a little different way what she did. Remind you of love and affection.

Love Dad

Thanks for your kind words. The edge is off the sadness, I think, but it seems so unreal that she isn’t here; as if I don’t really believe it. She has just always been here.

I am glad you had a chance to visit this site. Ken set it up for me and I am enjoying the outlet. I just hope to generally make sense, and occasionally add something useful to cyberspace.

Otherwise, it already seems a great way to keep the grandparents up to date.

Blessings to you and Scott,

Helen

She was adorable. Having lost many pets over the years it doesn't get easier. You two have handled it beautifully. Helen, I think your comments should be published in a magazine. You are a gifted writer. I believe when a living creature dies there is a space that cannot be filled again by anything. We cherish what is left and are grateful for what once was ours. God's blessings to you all. Love~Mom</p> Hi Guys~

She was spayed, but not until she was about seven.

The vet’s name is Maureen Wolfgram. She was wonderful.

We are all doing very well with it. It was sad and strange to see the two cats waiting at the top of the stairs to be fed and not see her little frame there, too. I seriously almost NEVER saw the cat unless she was being fed.

My four year old Henry (who was at the vet with me that day) just said to me yesterday, “Remember Audrey? I miss her.”

I don’t think he truly notices her absence. (Again, how could he?) I think - and from a mom’s perspective, appreciate just as much - it is completely sincere feigned sadness.

He is aware of how much of a family topic it is and he wants to be part of what is going on. He saw that we were sad and so he’s sharing in our sorrows. Perfectly sweet and uniquely “four year old” of him.

Get out of my head! We had to put down our pal "Calvin" shortly before Eli was born. In my adult life, I don't think I have ever sobbed so hard! Calvin was similar to your Audrey, in the "peaceful coexistence" way. He tolerated me, but hated most other humans. (So he might not have made it to Eli's birth anyway.) Two years ago, I would have poo-pooed any show of emotion regarding a pet's expiration... Today, I hope you and Ken and the kid's can remember the good times with fondness, and have a good cry, too. I'm sorry for your loss.</p> Jeez, Helen… Get out of my head! We had to put down our pal “Calvin” shortly before Eli was born. In my adult life, I don’t think I have ever sobbed so hard!
