Description Some of you may know my poor old kitty passed away recently. I miss her dearly, and felt it was only right to draw her a tribute for the twenty-one years she spent with me.

This is a small collection of my memories with her and it's a very personal thing to me, so please no harsh critics.



EDIT: Thanks so much for the DD and so many sweet comments on a subject that is obviously very sensitive to me. I really appreciate it.

yeah we all go through at one point or another. Just another one of those experiences in life.
I'm dreading the day I lose a kitty. which I feel might be soon.
2 of my sweetest kitties are so fragile, once always sneezing and choking on snot. The other one is soo boney I feel shes just gonna collapse if I'm not too careful. but they are still hanging in there c:>

ahh anyways again congrats on the DD c: It exited me when I saw it. Emi knew about it and didn't tell me :I gonna have to get on her bout that!

oh and thank you c:

Hmm, I never knew you owned cats! It's always difficult when a pet is ill, it makes you feel helpless :C Once their time is there though, just remember that you did what you could and should have no regrets. Cherish the time you got, cheesy as that sounds! Unfortunately there is just no changing the way these things go :C

And thanks, I was squealing when I saw it too! It's sweet that even as a watcher you get excited for me! My regards to Emi :3

It's always tough to lose some of our most loyal friends, especially since their lives are always so much shorter than ours. It's unfair, really.
I'm glad you got to spend 21 years with yours, that's a very long life for a cat. This picture is definitely something that speaks to me, thanks for this

Julibee-Darling [2011-09-12 19:21:11 +0000 UTC]

A much deserved DD. An adorable and thoughtful topic, beautiful colors, and fantastic style. Losing a longtime pet is always difficult...the grief has a tendency to stick around longer that one wants. I wish you a healthy and speedy recovery.

Really lovely tribute <3 Mine is 17 this year, I hope he stays with me at least as long as that... I'll miss him dearly when he goes, too.
Very sorry for your loss, I know how it feels to lose a friend, but not yet one that's been with me so long...

Heey lief meiske
Fantastisch dat je een Daily Deviation hebt ontvangen voor deze heel erg emotionele tekening van Iggy ....Zo zie je dat alles in het leven twee kanten heeft.....
Ik zie het als een teken! Iggy spoort je aan om verder te gaan en je te uiten met veel tekenen, kan het niet goed in woorden uitdrukken maar je weet wat ik bedoel, heb echt de tranen in mijn ogen nou....
Ik hou van je....mama

I'm sorry for your loss, we just lost our 13 year old golden retriever and it never gets any easier. Looks like your kitty was a sweetie!

I'm so sorry about your kitty ;o;

It touches me, because I had to get both of my dogs put down a few years ago, even though they were only 3 years old, and now my parents want to put my big fat cat down too ._.

God bless you and your dear friend ;-;
May he find lots of string and kibble and other kitties to play with in Heaven <3

* Is crying like a 4 year-old *
