MAC Fabulous Felines Discussion

HOTasFCUK, My condolences to you hun! I am so so sorry for your loss.

Such a beautiful kitty.

I just burst into tears reading your post. I have a kitty who I love dearly myself and can't imagine life without her. The fact that you're typing at all tells me how strong you are. Tiger is in such a sweet place now. Way up there watching over you and loving you right back. She knows how much she was loved. Take comfort knowing that she's ok. And remember all the good times. Hugs to you and your other kitties <3

 

[HOTasFCUK]

Thanks again for all the support and sweet words. I'm still bursting into tears at random times, especially when i saw her bed last night and some hair ties laying around. She loved playing with my black hair ties. She would go nuts if she saw one. I always leave one on my night table when i go to bed and by morning she would be in my room, swipe it off the table, and run off with it. I'm going to miss even those little things. My boyfriend said to me last night that its not about how much time was spent with her, but how great it was & i gave her the best life possible. And its true. I'm just trying to be strong and not think of what happened to her but just think of her cat-napping and running around. I should get her ashes back from the vet in a few days.

So happy that MAC is doing a cat themed collection!

It's so great that you have such wonderful memories of her. She sounds like she was quite a little character.

I know i have to go throught the grieving process now. I just can't wait until my tears turn into a smile when i think of her or see her pic. So glad i have Specktra for support! I should email MAC and tell them they need to name a lipstick or something after Tiger! Or even a make-up brush. If she could get within reach, she would grab my brushes in her mouth and run off with it! Especially a blush or skunk brush! I use to tickle her nose with an old fan brush i never use. My other cats are scared of my brushes LOL awww ok happy memories, i actually smiled

Keep smiling.

HotasFCUK I am so sorry about your loss of Tiger. He is in a better place & everything will be okay!

HotasFCUK, Tiger sounds like she was a very charming cat with lots of personality. It's so awful that she is gone but you will always have your memories of her.

For those of you who were wondering if Feline e/l might be repromoted with this collection..while I don't know for sure I think it is highly likely as alot of the fall/winter trend reports show looks featuring this product.

It would be very appropriate for mac to do that.

HOTasFCUK Sorry about your kitty and everyone else that's lost their dear feline friends. It's very hard to go through it and you'll never ever lose that sadness but it does get better and goes away to some extent. I still cry over her not being here with me. I had a 11x14 printed up of her and have it hanging above my computer then a smaller pic of her I had on my desk when I had a job. I had to be the one to make the decision that she go which was the worst thing ever. She had squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth and last just 4 months after she got sick. I kept her ashes though.

It's been 1 yr and 2 months since I lost Jubilee. She was my best friend for 15 yrs and she was probably about 17 or 18 so the vet said. She was just a stray that was out in our yard. I begged my mom so let me bring her in to join our other 8 cats. Jubilee was with me through my Grandparents dying (grandmom was like my best friend), bad marriage, divorce, moving, bad b/f, moving and moving and moving. When I had a house and was married Jubilee would follow me all over the yard as I worked in the gardens in PA. When I moved to VA due to my awful husband and going through the divorce, she loved to stay out on the deck of the b/f's house where I lived and helped me make a water garden

. She would sit with me when I got ready for work and sat on my lap as I put my makeup on. She also sat on my lap while I was at the computer or watching TV......she was like my shadow.

Here she is when I dug this water garden out. I dug that thing all myself too. 5ft x 3ft x 2.5 ft! That's Kitty beside me which was my Grandmom's cat that I took care of after she died

Not the best pic but I thought it was funny at the time

 

[HOTasFCUK]

Flaminbird: Thanks so much for posting that story and those pics! I'm so sorry for your loss. Tiger was like my shadow too, she would listen to me better then a dog would! I lost my 14 year old cat in 2007 and i got her when i was 8 so she grew up with me throughout the years so i know how you feel to lose a pet that was with you throughout all the good and bad. Your cat was such a beauty! Love that lion look!

I'm so happy to have had all of your support on Specktra this week. Its been rough but i'm accepting it more that she's not there anymore as much as it kills me. It just shouldn't have happened and thats what kills me the most. But like the old, true saying goes "Its better to have loved & lost then to have never loved at all". Its very true, i'm grateful for the time that kitty brightened my life. I guess it was her destiny and i think what if we found her injured and dying on the street? I think it would've been worse and 10x harder. My other two kitties are acting very depressed and upset so i've been trying to spend a lot of time with them and giving them extra attention and love. I should be getting her ashes back this week where she will go on a shelf next to Felix. I know i'll cry happy tears for her one day.

And yes Feline e/l should be re-promoted in this collection. Its only fitting! Plus mine got stolen a few years back. So many cat lovers on Specktra! This collection is fab!

You're welcome HOTasFCUK and thank you for your kind words as well. Yes I thought Jubilee was very pretty too. Everyone always commented on her fur

. She used to sometimes get ...well you know....stuck in her back fur on her legs so I would have to give her a slight bath...not very often did this happen...and she didnt care at all. She didnt try to get away and was very content.

I also had a hard time knowing she wouldnt be here anymore and even to this day it just doesnt seem right that she is not. I'll wake up from a dream sometimes and think she's still with me. I did have something else I must share. A week after she died we had gotten two cats from a rescue place this lady operates.(they're in my sig) While it did help I was still was sad because they just werent Jubilee of course. I sat and cried on the livingroom floor with my back to the room and I think I said out loud that I wished Jubilee was back. I then felt 3 distinct little tugs on my back. I thought of course as I turned I'd see one of the new kitties but none were there! I looked all around the room and they werent there but instead were downstairs! I told my friend at work about it the next day and she said it was Jubilee saying everything was ok and that she was still with me. I thought that's what it was too!

It does help a lot to know you have support from others and as rotten as the people were I worked with then they were very supportive and nice about it all so I'm glad you feel the support here. I just keep wishing I could go back in time and have all those 15 yrs back starting now!

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks again Flaminbird. Well its been one week today since it happened. I'm so happy we had some rain in the week to wash away the blood spots on my street. I hate driving by there but i know eventually i won't think about her lying there everytime i drive by once some time passes. The weird thing was the night she was missing, i had a dream that i went outside and she came running up the front lawn to greet me and there was this beautiful sunshine and peacefulness around her and i was so happy she was home. I told my co-worker in the morning how she didn't come home but i dreamed she did and then i got worried that sometimes your dreams can mean the opposite. And i guess it did end up that way because she didn't go home. Maybe my dream meant she went home to Heaven? It was a nice dream, she looked so happy & good so i guess i'll take that as a sign and her way of saying goodbye. Ohh here i go crying at work again!

HOTasFCUk, I'm so very sorry about Tiger. Flaminbird, I have heard Jubilee's story before, but do not tire of hearing it. She was clearly a very special cat.

I have 2 cats that I adore, one of whom was diagnosed with Splenic Mast Cell Tumors in mid March. She had her spleen removed and she has been recovering very well. The vet is hopeful that she will live at least another couple of years. The thought of losing her (or my other cat) is unimaginable, they become part of the family, don't they?

Hugs all around.

 

[Flaminbird]

I finally finished reading this thread... and I'm in tears.

To DonnaN, HotasFuck, Michelle, Susanne and all of us who have love and lost a special being, a big hug from the bottom of my heart.

Losing a loved one it's a very hard thing to experience and to cope with. I always take comfort on the huge blessing love is, on how fortunate I was to have had the opportunity to get to know, love and share love with that special being. I always post, because I really believe it to be true, that love connections never die. If we're connected by love, then we're together until the end of time. I truly believe life on earth it's just a step on the road and that the journey it's bigger than our souls can dream, that someday will get to our destiny and reunite with our dearest ones.

May we all find peace and keep with us all the love and fond memories.
