I am so extremely sorry for your loss of Sunny. You have written about her in the past and I know how much she meant to you. Pets are sometimes better friends than humans and demonstrate unconditional love. I pray for your strength during this period of grieving and hope that your memories of Sunny's love still brings joy to your heart. Sunny is resting in peace.

Aw, Jesse, this was such a heartfelt tribute to your wonderful Sunny. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
I have always have cats and a dog as well. So you can imagine I have lost a few in my 70 years, and it hurts every single time.Right now, I have a three year old cat and a dog.
I'm so glad you're having another cat. That's the best medicine. Don't wait too long. Before you know it your new companion will find its way to your heart. Kind regards, Ulla:)))

I am sorry for your loss, Jesse, and I know that our pets are a special part of our lives. They add a sense of joy and love because they offer love when it is given to them unconditionally. It is not easy when they are no longer with us, but I think you are approaching it the right way. It was nice of David to take care of some of things serving as reminders around your apartment.

You make a good point about carrying on with your usual activities. It is important because you are not focusing on your loss all the time, and as you said, you don't want to go in depression over it. I also think that getting an older cat is a good idea when you are ready. That cat will then have a loving home and you will have a new companion. I think Sunny would be pleased that you want to do that when the time is right. Take care.

    Thank you, Pam, for your compassionate review. You always give great advice and I am trying to follow it although at times it is hard. I hope you understand why it has taken so long for me to reply. I mainly listen to music and audiobooks instead of going online with my laptop.
    Sunny would definitely be pleased if I find a new kitty to replace her companionship.
    Thanks for waiting for this response.
    You are a good friend!

    You are very welcome, Jesse. I am glad you liked my review and found the comments useful. There is no problem with a delayed response. I imagine you find the music and audio books comforting. Take care, you are a good friend, too.

Hi Jesse,
Sorry for your loss. Cats can be as loving and protective as dogs. I have had both so I know. Some cats act as if they rule their surroundings in the times they aren't soothing your needs. It is good to stay with your normal daily routine as soon as you can.
Keep writing and stay healthy/

Hi Jesse, you have mentioned Sunny in your writings, so I know how important she was to you and how much comfort she brought to you--you brought to each other. I'm sure her presence will be missed. You seem to be on the right track in keeping up with your exercises to help with the void and to keep yourself upbeat. My condolences. You were good to Sunny. That's why she loved you so much. Margaret

    Thanks, Margaret, for your supportive review. I know you are right about Sunny loving me since I treated her so well.
    Thanks for understanding why my reply is so late. I have been listening to music and audiobooks instead of answering reviews on Fan Story. Mourning Sunny's passing keeps me away from my computer most of the time.
    Thanks for being a loyal friend.

Firstly, so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to be without the fur friend that has cuddled our heart. Take it one day at a time and focus on your recover. Sunny would have wanted that. This well written story allows the reader to feel the grief but also see the hope for the future in another fur companion receiving and giving the same love under one roof. Thank you for sharing.

This is heart-breaking, Jesse. I'm sure I don't know quite how you feel because everyone is different, but I have gone through this a few times myself with my cats, and it takes a while to get through it.

I don't think non-pet owners will ever be able to quite understand how we feel about our pets. They aren't just animals but true, lovable, trusting companions, who you may feel more of a kinship with than most people you know. They hold a position in the family almost like that of a child, and it is definitely love that we feel for them.

I wish you the best in your future without Sunny. It sounds like she was a wonderful companion. Jim

My heart goes out to you. I have been in your place many times over the years. Cats are such great companions. My two felines have taken care of me since my husband passed on. Sunny is a great and I am sure she is with you in spirit. I am sure many can relate to your story.

I am so sorry for your loss and offer my condolences. It must be so difficult for you to cope with this after 15 years of her companionship and hope that by writing this it has made things a little easier. Take care. Jen.
