Heartbreaking pic and tribute. Bibi was lucky to be so loved. I’ve been there, man. And with 6 aging cats, I expect to be there again and again. Serenity and healing to you and your Wife -- and prayers for Bibi.

I feel you. I know the feeling of such loss. And i had recently that fear visiting me again after my dog refused to eat for 2-3 days. Thankfully all good with him.

Your friend had lived her life fully. Was loved and gave love. That's the best we can have for us and our friends. I know you miss her and such words dont bring much comfort now, but it's the truth. Lived good life, died normaly. In contrast, i will tell you that 2-3 years ago my dog had eaten a poisoned little bone an unknown bastard had thrown in a field to exterminate dogs and cats. In seconds he fell down with terrible spasms. We were 'lucky' this happened near my house and at working hours, so i could rapidly put him in the car and ran to the vet in minutes. He was saved. Thank god. The worst experience of my life -and i have seen and suffered quite a lot- , had left me a trauma and a sense of fear for months. Now i have atropine and morphine injections at home, and i hope i will never have to use them ...

My advice -that probably sound like a dickhead's words at this moment- is dont wait too much. Get a puppy. I didnt want another dog after Persi's death. I felt i was betraying him. One morning after a couple of months my dad took me, we went to a friend of his, and we got a puppy. Pretty much, i was forced to go and get him. And i thank my dad for this. I have Ares 8 years now. Persi is buried in my garden, happy to watch us, and waiting for the reunion ...

Your girl is waiting you too. Grow your pack till then.

Sorry for your loss. My cat just died, also aged 13. Always devastating.
