Lost our [beloved kitten](http://imgur.com/zx46jrA) a couple of days ago. Still struggling to come to terms with the disproportionately large hole she leaves behind in our lives. ☹ ---

So pretty. It’s amazing how empty a house can seem when a tiny furball is missing. ☹ I’m so sorry. ---

Condolences. Amazing what sort of hold they have on your heart. I wept more when our cat died than I have for some relatives. Took a couple of years to be anywhere near ready for another one, but she’s a joy and we’ll get to go through all that misery yet again at some point. ---

So sorry, she was very cute. There are many waiting in need of homes so don’t let your grief hold you back too much. ---

I’m so sorry to hear this. Hard to lose a kitty young. ☹ If you can, share the love with another kitten who needs a home. It’s “kitten season” and shelters are full. ---

> [@GrumpyBunny](#): > > I’m so sorry to hear this. Hard to lose a kitty young. ☹ She was 19 actually. So not technically a “kitten”. That was just my term of endearment for her. She was really tiny though; 9 pounds at her best. The picture is from a couple of years ago. She was my wife’s since she was an actual kitten, before we met and she became our’s. She brought so much joy every day. We miss her. ---

I am so sorry for your loss, **QuickSilver.** She was beautiful, and must have been much loved in your house. ---
