Missing My Kitty
It's really hard having to walk by his empty room, seeing all his things still there, unmoved. The carpeted tower he slept in, his food and water bowls, his litter box, even his medications. I can't bring myself to move his tower or his litter box out of his room. I can't bring myself to even empty his food and water bowls.
It's strange walking up the stairs from the basement without having to use the baby gate that kept him downstairs under our supervision (so he wouldn't make a mess upstairs).
I get sad every time I look at his pictures, yet I stare at them so longingly.
There's a hole in my heart every time I walk down to the basement, thinking I'll hear his croaky meows pleading with me to pet him. Thinking I'll see his black, furry body rounding the corner toward me, his handsome little face looking up at me expectantly.
That hole burns painfully knowing I'll never be able to hold him in my arms again.
I can't rub his soft belly and see him turn on his back, his little purring motor going like crazy. I'll never kiss him on the cheek or on top of his velvety head or be able to tell him again how much I love him.
It's only been 3 days, but it feels like an eternity, I feel so empty. I miss him SO much. I wish I could have my kitty back. :*(

It is perfectly ok to leave Hideous Rebellion's things around for a while. They are there to help you to cope and let him pass on. I understand exactly what you are going thru, Amy! I'm here if you need to talk to a fellow pet lover. Let the river flow freely.
Hang in there....
