R.I.P. My Dearest Merlin
28 Answers
Born;- 22-08-04 Died:-05-05-06 I want to apologize now before ABrs animal lovers for what I'm about to write. Yesturday we tragically lost our dear little boy Merlin on the road, I'm absolutely crushed to the core, all I ever wanted for my cats was to live a long and happy life. Apart from my husband they are my world, they are the children I was never able to have, I worshiped the ground they walked on, I loved them ( "some people might say too much" ) they wanted for nothing. All I've done since mid-day yesturday is cry the raging pain inside me is so intense it hurts, I'm going through all the emotions to mankind, disbelief, why Merlin, all the memories of his short life are so heart rending I cant think straight, all I want is my baby boy back, this will upset people yesturday I even said that I'd rather it had been Millie than Merlin as he had the better nature , she is a very independant cat and not very loving its always has been her or no way. Today I'm calling "GOD" "JESUS" every name under the sun, every family member and friends who have passed over I'm sorry to say "I HATE" "ANGELS" because they in my mind could have protected Merlin from death. I should be at work but I just cant face people and the media. People are going past my home laughing and its cutting me up, why should they be so happy when I'm greiving with raw emotion. I'm so sorry again but needed to get this out of my system but I know it wont take the pain away. :-(

This a sad thread and i sympathise, we lostour new cat a few months ago we only had her a short time but she disapeared. cats by nature roam, especially Toms, any animal lover/ cat lover will know that, they aren't indoor pets at all. they hunt and mate at night and so have to be outside. i grew up on a farm and we had dozens of cats over the years, they died of all sorts including being killed in the fields at harvest time, any loss of a pet is sad, but trying to blame an owner for a cat's death is just plain daft. And if a cat could talk it would tell you they are a law unto themselves.
Catwoman, I've been away for the weekend so only just read this thread, but I just wanted to add my sympathies. It is so hard to lose a much-loved pet but you need to take comfort from the fact that you know how much Merlin was loved and what a happy (and free) life he had.
Don't listen to drgnrdr or happy_face - they are of course entitled to their opinion but I feel, like everyone else, that this thread wasn't the place to air it. I'm glad that drgnrdr realised that and has apologised for it.
Some day you will be able to think about Merlin and remember the happy times and smile. Until then, know that all the animal lovers on AB are thinking of you and grieving with you.
Take care,
xx
Hi cat woman i am so sorry to here about your baby merlin, it is so hard to get over. We lost our little Ziggy last year to the road on good friday, it still hurts very much he was such a mischievous little cat and he was very special to us, as was your cat to you. He too was quite young he was not even 2 when he died. We have 2 other cats 1 is 6 and the other 1 is 5 to give our love to and to spoil very much, we have had all our cats since they were kittens. Our cats have always been able to play outside, they wouldn't have the happy life they have now if they didn't. I hope you are feeling a bit better soon. We are so happy that we shared ziggys life with him, even though it was only a short time. We know he had the best life with us, he didn't want for anything and he was always very happy. Lots of love Honey xXx
