Hades: April 1998 - Sept 3, 2008

[elionwyr]

Lurk was howling in the living room this morning.

Back hunched over, eyes wide, he cowered in a corner, not letting me get anywhere near him.

Something was obviously wrong.

And Hades was nowhere to be found.

I looked in her current favourite haunts – the bathtub, behind the bathroom door, under the kitchen sink – and found no sign of her.

She was lying underneath a set of shelves in the kitchen, eyes half-open, not moving.

I assume it was her heart.



..I am unable to be very eloquent. Hades was my familiar; I was her human. I had been since the first time those evil green eyes met mine when she was 8 weeks old, in the pet store where I had no intention of purchasing a cat, and instead I walked out with this amazing companion.

So many memories. So much joy and laughter. So much personality! She earned her name, just as she earned the love of so many of my friends.

I found myself waiting for her to shake off the stiffness, leap to her feet, shoot me a look from those wickedly intelligent eyes, and demand that I gift her with whatever treats are currently available.

I am so so glad I have Lurk. I would not be functioning today if I had to go through this goodbye alone.

I'm so sorry honey.. you have all my sympathy and well wishes.... Let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help...

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Lurk was...he's never done that unless he knows I'm trying to catch him. It took hours to calm him down..

Oh my sweet.. I'm so sorry that She has departed.. I Know that my Shadow is with her right now, playing with her, showing her the best cat nip..

but know this, In the night, she will be with you. You will hear her familiar cry on occasion, you will hear the whispered rumbling of her purr.. there will be so many things that will bring her to mind, She is STILL With you.

She is just beyond the veil Dusti.. But she is still beside you.

Cover the mirrors, and have a cookie.

Hang in there.

so much love to you, sweetheart. my ming and sydd will be with her, and davy will scritch her behind the ears for sure, and give her a lap if she wants one. Khan is sitting with me, talking, sending furry love too.

It's going to be hard for Lurk for a while-- not having the dominant cat around anymore.

Requiescat in pace.

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Brian.

Lurk's been ok without Hades around for a few days, with short term breaks. I'm not sure how he'll do, long-term. I may have to break down and get him a buddy.

I'm so so sorry to hear, Hon...

[shadowwolf13]

Aw Hon ..... I'm so sorry.

*tight hugs*

[celtic_maenad]

Oh goddess. I know exactly how terrible that is, as it was me who found my 'bestest-kitty' when he died. Do you have any support humans in your area? Are you holding together at all (I couldn't)? You have my thoughts and mental support and hugs. I hope you have in-person these things too.

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

I have one or two locals, yeah.
The cracks are starting to show.
Thank you for the support and understanding.

[malinaldarose.livejournal.com]
