Your Pet Loss Stories

'FiFi'

(Montreal, Canada)

Fifi had been with us for 14 years... I still remember when my mom first brought her home. She was so small and cute... black and white... with her cute little pink nose. She easily fit in the palm of our hand.

The SPCA had gotten a call from someone that had found a box full of kittens in a dumpster and Fifi was one of the many kittens that was left out by some heartless person.

I'm so grief striken by her loss that writing this story is hard for me...

I remember she kept falling asleep in our arms...
we all fought for her attention...
we all wanted to take care of her...we were all instantly fallen in love with her...

A few things Fifi grew up doing a lot of was eat, sleep and poo!

After her operation... she started gaining weight and in order to get food from us she would lie on back, paws in the air and purr... squinting her eyes from time to time...

I am now 29 but back when I was younger I went through depression and a lot of the times felt very alone... and the only one I would share my secrets and thoughts with would be her... I can still feel her licking my face as tears would stream down... I miss her so much... I wish I can turn back time and have her here with me... with us...

Yesterday... Febuary 22nd 2010... Fifi had two seizures and my mom rushed her to the hospital... the doctor called and said that even if we decide to operate...she will never be the same... and the best decision would be to put her to sleep...

We all met at the hospital to say our good byes... I felt like I was losing my friend... my family... I know she suffered and that hurts me more than anything... I know she's in a good place now for she was a good cat... and her memory will be with me until I meet her again...

R.I.P Fifi... I love you.
