She's a beauty. When I posted the pic, I didn't think it would be so big. It frightened me, to see her like that again

Hiyah ... *S*

I am sure you can get a little brass strip engraved without having to take your little girl with you ... you know the type of shop I mean? It's a heel bar who does trophy engraving .. that kind of thing.
When I go in town, I will have a look at the name of the shop incase they are a chain and you might have one local to you.

I can understand your flatmate to an extent ... but omg, I did all the watching and checking Holly for breathing JUST incase ... so I can identify more with you. Some folks hide their grief and others just have to let it out ... which, I reckon is better in the long run!

I was looking in my drawers earlier and I found a clipping of hair I took from my Yorkie. Just in a little envelope, but funnily enough, I found a lovely photo of him too recently and I think I might just frame the photo and put the hair in a little cellophane packet on the back of the photo. Not so it is on show, but I know it's there and it's safe ... *S*

I am so glad you feel the way I do ... that to bring the casket home, you feel your little girl is still with you ... it helps me every time to be able to bring them back home. And of course, having a casket like yours, it looks just like an ornament really so you can have it on the hearth by the fire, or someplace in the room without it being totally obvious what it is.

If you're not happy with the service, why don't you go someplace nice and peaceful, or just when you're on your own, and say a few words yourself? Maybe if you have the place to yourself, light a little candle of remembrance and just say some words out loud or in your head ... I know friends who release a balloon when they lose any pets, just to signify their spirits being free now .. I haven't done that but I think it's a lovely thing to do ... *S*

Yes, you have to look after yourself now ... you have done everything you possibly could have done for Paws and now you have to make sure you are ok so you can look after the rest of your kitty gang!

Today will fade and the pain will ease a little bit in time, but the good memories will become stronger as days go by ... and yes, it would be lovely to see a piccy!!

I think I know the kind of place. I'll have a look out for one and see what I can do. http://www.timpson.com/ is the one we have I think in our town centre.

We all deal with it in different ways. Flatmate has not cried, at least not publically. I've cried about 100 times But I know she cares. She's a nice girl, just been hurt alot and we've looked after each other.

Nice to hear you found some hair. It's just a little something to remind you, amongst all the other great memories.

What do you do with your casket. I've only been home 6 hours and i've already had it on top the fireplace, on the table, by me at the computer and it will go with me to the bedroom tonight, on a chest of drawers. Flatmate understands.

I keep going to her favourite places in the house and telling her I love her, flatmate loves her and so do her brother and sisters, and we will see her soon. I'll think about the balloon thing. There is alot I can do, and will do. I really don't want to be here anymore. I want to finish and go with my Paws, but I have a flatmate and 4 other cats who need me right now and I won't let them down. Paws is here anyway, just in another way.

She is a lovely cat. So gentle and sweet. All of them are so tame and loving. I have been lucky in that regard.

I know. It just stunned me. A proper diva was Paws, but as soon as she gets what she demands, she is appreciative.

That little face, bet you had something treaty for her.

I just wrote out a long post but my internet is playing up.

Just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your little cat.

It's 6 months on Sunday since my Lexi died. My first two cats were run over and I swore when I got her I wouldn't let the same happen again. When I found out she had been run over I can't describe the guilt I felt. What was even worse was that her body was found and she was taken away by the council.

When she first died I was inconsolable. I honestly thought I was losing it. I couldn't bare her not been around, not been at the end of the bed, not waking me up at stupid o'clock every morning to play. She was my baby. I treated her like a child, I talked to her like a child.

Things have got easier, I don't cry all the time like when it first happened. I still talk to her in my head before I go to bed every night. I get very lonely without her, especially when my boyfriend is on nights. You just learn to get on with it don't you? I aren't quite at that stage people talk about though where you are able to smile when you think of the daft things they did, I just get upset because she isn't here to do them anymore.

Sorry I'm going on. I just wanted to say I'm thinking of you. I felt like you, that people where getting annoyed with me for going on. It's totally natural though. I know I felt like people would be thinking 'it's only a cat', but people that think that obviously don't have pets, and don't understand how attached we become. It is just like losing a member of the family and hits you just as hard.

Keep posting on here hun if you think it's helping, that is exactly what I did.

Oh, and just seen the picture, she was beautiful xx

I've told you. take the ashes to your room and do not infiltrate on your flatmate.
