I am so sorry. They are family and losing them is so hard. I believe that we will see our pets again one day. Hugs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's insanity to me that some people think that when a pet dies you should just move on and pick back up where you left off but that's not the case. My fiance knows that when my ederly cat dies that I'm going to be in shambles (had her since I was 9 now I'm 24). I completely relate to the fact that your cat has been there for you during tough times in your life and I know it sounds crazy to some but has been a form of support when you feel down. There's nothing that anyone can say to make you feel better but know that others can feel your hurt and understand.
So sorry for your loss. I have two kitties and they are my babies. We love our pets like family and they love us back. Just find peach & strength in knowing that your litty knew that you loved him.
I'm so sorry you lost a little member of your family. Wishing you lots of peace with his passing.
(((((Hugs))))))) So sorry for your loss. Pets are just so special...
OMG that made me cry. I am going to go hug all my pets after reading that heart breaking story. You are deff in my prayers. My FI lot his dog of 13 years last month and he still breaks in tears now and then missing her. Awww, such a baby too. Booo on that! You will deff be in our prayers. 
So sorry to hear this :( Pets are like family and it is so hard losing one. Hugs to you!!
Oh, I am in tears now reading this. Almost exactly a year ago (Super Bowl Sunday, 2011) I was where you are now. My FI and I had to have our cat, Cupid, put down due to a genetic heart condition and we were absolutely devastated. It came so suddenly and it was so heartbreaking. It will take time to start to heal, but try to remember all of the good times you had together. One of the things that cheered me up a bit was that my mom donated money to a feline health center in Cupid's name and they sent us a lovely letter that I held on to. Maybe doing something like that in Ginger Snaps' name will help with the healing? He was a beautiful cat and he was obviously so loved--you gave him a great life.
I'm SO sory :( My cat is like my baby and I would be devestated too. Just let yourself grieve and think about him, it's a natural step in the healing process. Thinking of you! XO
Thank you all for your kind words! It really means so much to me to have this kind of support. Sometimes I start to think that other people must think I am crazy to be grieving this way, but he really was a part of my family. I just miss him so much.
Your post made me cry. Im so sorry for you lost. Snaps sounds like he was an amazing kitty and will always have a place in your heart
Omg I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss :( my heart is absolutely breaking for you. Know that he had a good life, and was a blessing who was there when you needed him. I'm certain that you were there when he needed you too. *hugs hugs and more hugs* I'm so sorry!!!
I'm so sorry. I lost my dog last May and I'm still not over it. Like you, my dog came into my life during a tough time (a week before 9/11) and was there for me through some really rough spots over the years. I like to think that she was my angel, sent to be there for me when I really needed her, and now that I have my husband I was in good hands and she could go help someone else. What seemed to help for me was having a "party" on what would have been her 10th birthday (a week after she passed), we served her favorite human foods and a had slideshow in her memory, I think it helped me to say goodbye.
Give yourself some time to grieve before jumping back into planning, ask your FI to speak with his mother and get her to back off until you are ready. It may help to try to include him in your wedding, even though he can't physically be with you. My dog's tag was attached to my bouquet, there were photos of her in our guest book, and there was a special note in memory of her in our program.
I am so, so sorry. I recently lost my cat too and it was devastating. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Losing a pet is like losing a family member!
I think I am going to leave work early today and put flowers on his grave. I have been wondering what to do w/his bell and his tag, and I really like @reebee's idea. I think I'm going to incorporate them in my bouqet as well. Thank you all for your thoughts and kindness. This is a very tough time, but it helps knowing that I'm not alone.
I am so sorry for your loss. I love my cat more than most things in this world and would be devastated if I lost her. I love the idea of using his tag in your bouquet; that's such a special and wonderful gesture. Hugs x
I'm so sorry, it's so hard to deal with. Keep your head up...and remember that your cat will always be in your heart!
I'm so sorry, I feel heartbroken for you. I feel the same way about my cats, they've been with me through everything. You're so not crazy, just the thought of losing my kitty makes me cry a little bit.
I lost my dog on Monday. I had to put him down a week today. I am devastated I feel the same as you I had him forever and he saw me through so much. We picked up his ashes today and I also got a ceramic paw print. I have no other animals so I feel awfully lonley right now and FI lives in the U.S and I in canada so that makes it even harder right now
I am so very sorry for your loss. Know that you are not alone in your grief- my beautiful 2 year old tabby cat, mouse, suddenly passed away last Sunday, completely unexpectedly and here at home. It is really devastating to lose something you care so much about, and has become like a part of you. It will be easier with time, though nothing anybody says or does right now will make the hurt go away.
I'm still waiting, so no bouquet suggestion from me; however I have been through this more than once or twice, and I Keep the tags and use a pretty ribbon and make them into tree ornaments. I have shadow boxes with pictures, paw prints and collars of the special ones I have lost as an adult on my own.
I'll be thinking of you during this tough time. <3
@nycbrde2011- I am really sorry for the loss of your dog, too.
Your pets were lucky to have such great families/moms and know for sure they knew how much you loved them too.
Last week really sucked. :(
Thank you, everyone for your kind words! I have been struggling a lot this past week. I had asked my fiance to take my kitty's things out of the house so I didn't have to see them, and also because it made it harder to accept that Snaps was gone. But when I got home from work and realized that Snaps' things were gone, I was furious with my fiance. I know that it was wrong to feel that way, and honestly I don't know why I got so mad at him, but I did. Fiance was very understanding and just let me cry about it.
I am struggling to really accept that Snaps is gone. I keep thinking that he is home, or I'll swear I see him out of the corner of my eye. In the morning when I feed the dogs, I automatically start to go feed him too. When I was grocery shopping, I started to write cat food on the grocery list, before I remembered that I didn't need to buy any. It is just so hard for me to accept that he isn't here anymore.
@nycbrde2011: I am sorry for both of your losses. It is horrible to have to say goodbye. I will be praying for you both also.
This made me cry too. We are all here for you! I'm so sorry your kitty is gone and there's nothing anyone will say that will make you feel better. Just know that your kitty loves you as much as you love him, if not more! You share a beautiful life together :) I hope you feel better soon...I can't imagine..
I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is so hard. :( They're our babies. We are sending you love and good vibes!

My poor baby kitty died on Tuesday. My heart is breaking. I miss him so much. He was with me even longer than FI, and was with me through some of the hardest times of my life. FI has been wonderful and supportive. He found a wonderful spot to bury my sweet Snaps and built a little memorial for him. I am a wreck though. My FMIL keeps wanting to discuss wedding things, and honestly I just don't even feel like it. I can barely even be at work right now. The only thing I feel like doing is being with my dogs and crying. I am two months out from the wedding, but honestly I am having a hard time caring about it. I'm posting a picture here of Snaps when he was a baby. Ginger Snaps came into my life when I was living alone in Austin and moved with me to San Antonio. He was with me starting my first real job, through studying for the bar, through depression. I can't believe he is gone. I just keep thinking that it's a mistake. I keep expecting to see him curled up next to me in the morning. My dogs keep looking all over for him. It breaks my heart. I hate the thought of him alone outside in the cold darkness. Just please keep me in your prayers and thoughts right now.
