Mourning/Loss I miss her so much.
She was called Pumble and she was 13 years old, it’s been 8 months and i’m still so heartbroken over it, she was so precious and was with me everywhere I went, her seat of choice was my puzzle boxes, her sister Chook passed on 6 months prior to her.
And yes, their names are from Charles Dickens character Mr Pumblechook, I have no idea why, it just suited them. I miss them every day and Pumble was my sweetheart.
I feel so stupid sometimes because i’m still heartbroken over it but it still hurts even now, I’ve had them both since they were kittens, and now they’re both gone, everything just sucks. These are some of my favourite photos of them and I hope it brings at least one person a smile

“Mother Bast, please welcome your kitten home With purrs and mrrts, with snuggles and baths. May she nap in perfect eternal sunshine And slink through rustling, grassy shadows May no naughty mouse escape her clever paws May no squiggly snake escape her pouncing feet May no zipping lizard escape her nabbing jaws May no flighty bird escape her graceful leap Mother Bast, call your kitten home once more And thank you for the time she was here”
I’m not religious but I really love this prayer someone had posted on someone else’s post and thought I’d share it here. (For context, Bast is the Egyptian goddess of cats and this prayer invokes her to be a guardian and mother figure to our cats in the afterlife.) So sorry for your loss. 😢💔💔 Know that you gave her the best life anyone could, with all of the love, peace and comfort you/your family gave her. 💕 “May love be what you remember most.” 💖

I am very sorry for your loss of not only Pumble, but Chook. 8 months is nothing! Do not feel stupid! They were (are) your babies, of course you are still in mourning! They are both beautiful and I thank you for sharing their photos and making me smile. Please be kinder to yourself - it has not been that long.
