Farewell to the Empress Josephine :(

[Sciurus carolinensis]

Our cat Josephine collapsed around noon today. My parents took her in, but she was in liver failure and nothing could be done. I had a friend over all day, so it took a while for her death to hit me. She never completely recovered from the same ailment that her brother Napoleon died of last June. Mom took all our cat stuff (litter box, etc.) down to the basement because she's too upset to look at it. I get that. I had to stop her from giving the toys away because we will eventually get more cats, but none of us are ready for that to be any time soon. Here's a picture of her from October 2016. I resized it too much. Oops.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat Josephine. Cats (and many other pets) truly come to be family, sometimes more than some of the humans in our lives.

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that! Stay strong!

I know she'll be missed a lot so think of it this way: As long as she's being missed, she's being remembered. And as long as she's remembered she lives on (in your thoughts and heart).

My sincere condolences on the loss of your dear sweet kitty!

It's been almost 9 months since my family lost our sweet pup, Mouse. The pain is still very raw!

I'm so sorry about your loss :(

At least she loved a long happy life with a loving family

None of the words I can say can help with the sadness you're feeling, but we are all feeling for you right now.

So sorry to hear your sad news. What a beautiful cat and what a wonderful life she had with you.
