O/T Fuzzy Umpkins

Many of you on here know about my feline companion.  The BEST companion any girl/woman would want to have.

Fuzzy Umpkins walked over the Rainbow Bridge today.  I had him for 17 years, and every single second of it was fun.  He had such an intelligent, funny personality, and he could cuddle like no other cat on earth.  You'd think a queen size bed would be big enough for a human and cat.  Not according to him.  He'd manage to take up the entire bed - AND the covers - and leave me with about 3 inches of mattress.  

I know my parents and his adopted big sister Itty Bitty were there to greet him.  It just hurts.

oh no,  I am so sorry and feel this awfully close as my darling boy is ill as well with likely only months left.

I challenge Fuzzy Umpkins and Darling Boy to a best cat ever contest!  They sound alike in most ways.  Darling Boy will literally throw himelf into my armpit at night for cuddles.

Take care of yourself, allow your grief and you'll always always have him in your heart.

I remember you talking about Fuzzy Umpkins before and I always thought the name was adorable.

I'm so sorry for your loss!

It's been ten years since my furry superior beings crossed the rainbow bridge three weeks apart and I still miss the shit out of them. 

Take care of yourself. Hugs!

I'm so sorry. I know how much losing a beloved pet hurts.

I swear, every pet I've had has made me a better person, but I'll never be as good as they were.

I'm so sorry.. it's so hard with pets.. they just are like members of our family and give us unconditional love and happiness and it just isn't fair that they can't stay with us longer.. hugs.

I am so sorry. He was a good kitty buddy - and perhaps will check in on you every now and then. 

My young son, when he was two asked me one day where the orange cat with one eye went? He was just here? The orange cat with one eye traveled the rainbow bridge the day I found out I was pregnant. I had not shown pictures or talked about him with my son (he was too young for that). I believe bonded souls stay bonded, even after passing. 

When you need his comfort, he will be there. ❤️

I know how hard this journey is...to see a beautiful pet depart for the Rainbow Bridge. My Wallce left me March 23 of last year...coming on the one year anniversary.

Sending you prayers and good thoughts of healing....it's just so hard. Big hugs to you.

bed hog and all...he sounds like the perfect companion. Today marks one year since my Suzie, long haired dachshund, crossed the rainbow bridge, she was almost 15 and my queen sized bed hog, diva, shadow and nap buddy. I still cuddle with her soft purple blanket every single night and still cry because I miss her and the routines we had together. 

Sending healing thoughts for your aching heart...

Losing a much-loved pet is one of the most painful things to deal with. The void they leave behind is enormous. I hope you can focus on the good times you had with him to help fend off the pain. (((((HUGS)))))

Our pets have such a special place in our hearts.  So sorry for your loss.

I know from the way you've written about Fuzzy Umpkins and Itty Bitty that they were so important to you.  Please give yourself the gift of quiet time to properly grieve your loss.

So sorry for your loss!! Losing our animals is one the hardest things (I think) we can go through.

For you and your fur baby.  I lost my fur baby frost point siamese, 3 yrs ago she was almost 20. Her companion, my loving male bombay joined her a yr later.  Was in a fog for 3 months afterwards.

I'm so sorry to hear this, sending you love and healing!  My old boy is almost 18 now...diabetic, muscle waisting in the hind legs and arthritis, also kidney values aren't too good.  That said, he's still going!  He comes up for pets on the bed or couch all the time, still goes and lays out in the sun, still interacts quite a bit.  I've been 'grieving' him for well over a year, I know when it's time I will be ok.  I know it's not much longer.  He has given us wonderful years and is an amazing, loving,  laid back mellow cat.  

It is always such a hard thing, when we lost our Boston a few years ago it was SO hard, she was only 10 and it was VERY sudden, got sick ovre a 2-3 day period and died in my arms at the vet, they tried to bring her back and it didn't work.  We still don't know what caused it (heart or brain tumor they suspect).  I grieved that dog almost more then my father....I think because with dad having cancer I had a couple of years to deal with the grief and prepared for his passing.

I'm heartbroken for you, it is simply amazing the joy and love they bring to our families, home and us personally.

RIP Fuzzy Umpkins!!! I hope your next life is the best one yet!!!

Thank you all for your kind words and support.  It's been a rough few days.  He had so much character, and my hearts when I think about him.

He sounds like the best boy! You gave him a life full of love and spoiling- he was blassed. I hope that's some comfort to you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Give rose
