Dear dear furriends and Parents,
Thank you from my heart for everything you have written. Your words are truly a comfort in a terrible time. Know that I will read and re-read. Many times.
I will bare my heart again, as I always seem to do when it comes to Katie, and tell you I have not felt so alone before. And I will tell you that last evening when I sat in my preternaturally clean sparse seeming living room reading, Just above the book I could have sworn I saw Katie walking as always, across the room in front of the dining table on her way to the kitchen for some dry crunchies and a drink. And a little later as I prepared for bed in a bedroom that was only utilitarian and had no love in it...I got in without anyone waiting at the "passenger side" trying to get on my chest before I was even FLAT on the bed for pete sakes! I turned out the light and laid there but after a few minutes I swear to you I felt the little trembling at the foot of the bed when she got onto it in the night from the chest at the foot of the bed. Up her steps, and then, onto the chest , then onto me. I felt the wee movement in the bed there and after about a quarter of a minute I thought I felt settling at my feet. I turned on the light and raised my head! I knew it wasn't her, but it was so real I had to look. Unfortunately I looked into Leopard's face!! I forgot he was on my chest! Startled me not too pleasantly for a split second!
Please see the beautiful memorials that Ann, and Ingrid on Meezers Mews and Terrieristicals Woofs sent me so lovingly. I will save them always.
For now, the house has never been this quiet since it was bought. I have never been so alone. Admiral wrote about this last night...she was joyous that Katie came to see her. As the Mom, I wrote about this in my own blog Ramblingon. This tearingly hard event has overtaken everything else right now. Katie will let me know what to do. But here I am, writing. :-)
Love you all. Thank you so very much.

Charlee: "We understand completely! Our Dada says that even years later, every once in a while, he still thinks he spots Dennis or one of the others out of the corner of his eye for a second."
Chaplin: "Like maybe they're just sneaking in from the Rainbow Visit for a quick visit and to check that everything is all right with their humans."
May we all meet again. We are so very sorry,
To this day, nearly 14 years since she left, I never have a night's sleep without thinking Seney is on my pillow kneading my head. Your memories of the sweet girl will get you through this even in the empty silence you now have.
Oh yes, several of our angel cats came back shortly after passing to visit.
That way the bed shakes when a cat walks up; each one is distinctive.
And you did see her; she's still here.
Hugs and hugs.
I've also had experiences where my angels have been around, though not in the past 2.5 years. I believe Katie is still with you, Carole, visible not to your eyes, but to your heart. ♥️♥️♥️
i can't tell you how many times I felt the Honey Sunshine climb up onto the bed after she left. I had an awful breakdown after she left, I missed her so much, she was my heart cat. Then one night not too long after she left I had an amazing wakeful dream where I got to get out of the bed and pick her up and feel her again and hug her and kiss her while she actually talked to me excitedly and told me how much she loved me and how beautiful it was where she was and that there was sunshine and green grass to play on. My heart soared!
And yes, they do visit. Peace to you dear friend,
We are so sad to learn your sweet Katie Isabella earned her wings and are sending our most gentlest thoughts of comfort your way. We too have seen those other worldly signs...it's the way of our fur babies letting you know they are still with you even if just in spirit. Sending hugs of comfort, dear Carole. 💔
It's so hard, when all there is around you are reminders of Katie...
🥰 ❤️ 🥰
Angels do visit, they really do. I still feel Brian rubbing on my leg when I'm in the kitchen. Sometimes it startles me, other times I just say I love you too Brian. Your Katie will let you know when she is there and what needs to happen to de-quiet your home. Continued love and hugs from all of us.
Such tiny creatures do fill a home, don't they?
Our Z Cat left us at 8 years old in January 2009. I think of her every day multiple times a day. I know the loneliness. I wish with all my heart you were not having to know it. I do feel Z is with me. I feel a comfort in that. Hugs to you♥
Carole, I am so deeply sorry that you lost your Katie Isabella. I understand how deeply it hurts, and pray that you find at least a little comfort in knowing we all care so much. Amy
I completely understand. The empty hole they leave behind is a million times their size. And when we only have one cat at a time it's even worse because there's no one else there.
It does sound like her spirit is with you. I am sorry you are alone through this. XO
I truly believe our departed loved ones (human & animal) visit us to see how we are doing. I’ve heard doggie paws on the hardwood floors, shaking & flapping of ears & even heard distant barking that I knew was my pups. My Cosmo kitty would still tap me on my nose to wake me from bad dreams. That’s how I can eventually come to peace with their passings, because I know they are still with me but in a different dimension. Katie is making sure you’re taken care of yourself, because your love story will go on forever. She also asked me to look after you which I fully intend to do❣️ Wrapping you up in love arms in comfort & love, Kit
I hope you're together in every lifetime. Hugs xx
Mom cannot even imagine how empty your house is. She and Dad have never been without a cat since they adopted thier first in the mid-80s. Mom says that she wouldn't know what to do with herself. She knows how empty your heart feels; though, she also knows Katie will remain there forever. We kitties are sending you lots of purrs and Mom sends love and hugs. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
P.S. She will e-mail you the memorial badge she made for Katie. 💖
Carole I truly understand. It is amazing how much noise an itty bitty kitty makes....
Katie was always offering her 2cents on everything.. and if not talking she was prancing around swishing that glorious tail. The fill every single cubic foot of space.Of course you saw Katie...she will probably visit every so often to check on you
Hugs cecilia
Dear Carole, I do believe in angels. Bless your heart! No matter how long we have had the blessing of the company of a cat, their spirit lives on in our minds and never totally goes away in our hearts! Your Katie is loved, and so are you!
We love you Carole, and are sending you all good things and purrs and prayers of comfort. Angels are real, and I have no doubt that Katie is still there with you. Our Moosey, Gracie, and Zoe still come to visit every now and then. It's so real that I know it's them. XO
Your newest angel always leads you to your next heart partner
Awwww we are so happy Angel Katie came to see mew... sending huge hugs and soft purrs 😻🐾😻🐾😻
She's still with you and will be with you, Carole. It's not an imagination, what you felt is true. She's just in another dimension that we can't see yet, but that we can feel. She knows you can feel her, we're sure she send you more signs. She is so very loved, on earth as in heaven💞Extra Soft Pawkisses for this difficult time you're going through right now🐾😽💞
We all know your pain and feel for you so deeply. And we do believe in those presences in the quiet times. These are the hardest times any of us live through. Sending you warm hugs.
Sending you a big hug.

Awww we know Katie will never leave you Carole; there are so many who stay with us ... The memorial pictures done by everyone, are all so beautiful.
Our purrs for you and Katie are continuing, Carole.
We love you, too, my dear. If you comment on my blog anytime soon would you please share a link to your Ramblingon blog? I found a link but the only thing text showing on my screen is the title. It's no doubt operator error. lol I sometimes dream about my angel kitties and wake up smiling, so I hope you get to that state soon.
