Yesterday was a rough day for us. Our cat Ellie died very unexpectedly. T and I were downstairs when we heard her throw up so T went up to get her. When he went to put her down outside she collapsed and wasn't moving. I was freaking out and thought she might be choking. I ran and got a towel so T could wrap her up and we jumped in the car to take her to the emergency vet. When we got to the vet they told us there was no heart beat. They tried to resuscitate her for a little while but she was already gone. The vet said she could have had a heart condition that we didn't know about or she could have had a stroke. They let us say goodbye to her. They had her wrapped in a blanket and she looked so small. It was like she was sleeping. She was still warm and still smelled like popcorn. She was still so soft.Tracy held her the whole way to the vet. He said he knew she was gone soon after we got in the car but didn't want to tell me. Ellie (her real name is Ella but Ellie fit her personality) was such a good little girl. She was our first pet together. We got her a few days after T bought his first house. She was the runt of the litter. She was so small and had this little pudgy face. She was only 7. She had never really been sick and was playing with us 20 minutes before it happened. It was really hard to go to bed last night with out her. During the day she really didn't pay much attention to us but once we were in bed for the night that was the time she always wanted to snuggle by us. She was so soft. Most nights she slept by my feet. And in the morning when i woke up she would come say hi and try to curl up with me. Some mornings before i was even awake i could feel her walking on me. She was such a good little girl.
Ellie we miss you and we will never forget your little pudgy face.

We had one of our cats die right before adopting Jade. She had a cancerous tumor and had to be put down. We love our pets so much too they are like part of the family so I am so sorry for your loss.
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing my cat- she is such a part of my family.
Oh my goodness. I *so* intensely know and feel the pain you feel right now. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that she went quickly, happy after all the love and play you gave her (especially right before her untimely exit), and that she's now in kitty heaven. I'm so, so sorry.
