Tuesday is a month since we put our sweet girl to sleep after a fight with stage 4 kidney failure. She was only 6. Life is so unfair sometimes. You're very missed, Ally. Our house is much too quiet without your chatty, happy personality.

For almost 7 years we had our sweet cat Bella. She’s the same age as me, we got her when she and I were 8. I am now 14, and it was the first loss of any sort I’ve dealt with, and probably my worst one. We put her down at the beginning of this month, and I still cant stop thinking about her being away from us. She had to be let go because of a cancerous tumor that was noticed too late, and we feel so bad, we let that happen to her. She could have been with us still. She was a rescue, and it was believed she was deprived of food. I still remember the day at the shelter when she stared at us with awe, and we decided to adopt an 8 year old cat instead of a kitten, and that was the best choice we had ever made.

Ill link some Photos (excuse the dates, as you can see the first one is on a christmas, thats when i received my first ever ipod touch, thats not when we first got her) and she was an indoor cat that lived in the basement, but she still managed to get plenty of sun-light. From just a few months ago, she weighed 13.4 lbs, and until the day we had to put her to sleep, she weighed less than 11, and you can see she seems slimmer in the newer photos (again, excuse the photos, I have 23 on my phone now, and i really just save the funny one.) The people at the vet, and any friends that have ever visited have noted how sweet of a cat she is, she let anyone pet her, do whatever with her, and she just let the nurse go threw with everything when being put to sleep, with no trouble. All I want to say is, I understand loses now, and I genuinely feel what you’re going though. I was amazing closely bonded to my cat Bella for almost 7 years, and the day I found out that just like that, shes gonna be gone, my heart sunk, and I cant say im completely over it yet, but like everyone in my family has told me, She is in a better place.
