We went out to dinner last night and when we came home, we found that Penelope had died. There was no warning. I just had her to her vet 2 weeks ago for her yearly check up. I don't know why they gave her a clean bill of health when she died just 2 weeks later. She did not get into anything here, I don't know what happened. All I know is that my heart is absolutely broken without my baby girl.
Penelope would wake me up in the morning when she was ready for breakfast. I know she couldn't tell time so I never got mad when she thought breakfast time was 4 in the morning instead of 6. Close enough. Every day we would have our love time. She needed hugs and kisses and caresses almost as much as I did.
Penelope had been fine all afternoon and spent a good part of it in my lap. She had come downstairs for supper just as we were getting ready to go out ourselves to dinner. When we got back a few hours later, she was on her spot on the living room floor. That was her go to spot after she was done eating. I think she ate, then laid down and just died. I don't know why. She was relatively young at about 7 years old, I don't know WHY.
I know my heart is absolutely broken. I held her little body in my arms for as long as I could, telling her how much I loved her. I hope she heard me, I hope she knew that. Everywhere I look I see her. I see her favorite spots, I see her toys, I feel her in my arms. I know she was just a cat, but she as well as my other two cats, are as close to children as I will ever have. I have a hole in my soul and I don't know how to fix this or how to move on. I am broken and I miss my baby girl more than I thought possible.
Here are just pictures of Penelope, my little love. She loved me like no one else does. I miss her kisses and hugs, I miss her love, I miss her.
Penelepe, when she was still an outside cat:
Penelope's first day at home:
My heart is broken. My soul is broken. We did NOT have enough time together. I miss my little girl more than words can say. I love you, Penelope.

She had all your love and caring and she also loved you dearly. There is never a comfort when you lose someone beloved. She left you a precious present no one can take away from you: love.
Let me hold you in my arms, my dear friend, just hold you and share your pain.
Sorry, it's me, Georgia from Germany. I don't know why I am logged in this way...
...thinking of you.
ah Ree I am so so so sorry thinking of you
Sorry to hear, Ree. Losing a pet/family member like this is difficult. Hope you're doin' OK.
Thanks, all. This has definitely rocked my world and not in a good way. :(
