In memory of Toulouse

My beautiful Toulouse passed on Monday after finding out she had a tumour. She was the funniest cat I’ve ever met. She was always a bit of a grump and knew she was the queen of the house. I’m finding it increasingly difficult to go a day without you bringing a tear to my eye. I’ve had you since I was 3 I don’t know a world without you and then suddenly I’m there. I’m in a place where you aren’t. I want to hold you again and again. Stroke you, smell you. I love you more than words can say and that will never change.

    Hi.Your comments about your cat Toulouse has brought more tears to my eyes.As I write this it’s the day before I take our beautiful cat Smudge to say her goodbyes as the tumour has now made her blind and she’s stopped eating.My thoughts right now is that life is just cruel and why her.Adopted her 5yrs ago when my dog passed away.Even now the grief is unbearable and I feel guilty for taking her life away even though I know she’s not enjoying her life and the thought she can no longer see me fills me with horror.Tonight will be sleepless esp when she sleeps on top of me for the last time.

    Toulouse sounds like a wonderful cat Aurora and it is obvious you loved her very much. Your words really resonate with me as I lost my beautiful cat Harvey to cancer yesterday and I feel so lost. The house seems so empty without him. I keep expecting to see him on his favorite chair when I look up and this morning I turned over really slowly and carefully when I woke up, like I always do, afraid I’ll squash him as he snuggles up so close to me in bed. I had momentarily forgotten that there was no need because he wasn’t there. It’s difficult to talk to people as I know they think “It’s only a cat” but he was my best friend.
