[JohnnyRingo]

18. A sad day.

My heart goes out to you and I feel your loss as well.

Though it leaves a hole where there once was his love, he left you with almost 20 years of devotion and memories. He was a very special kitty who loved you unconditionally. ...and shrimp. He loved shrimp.

Be strong.

[gristy]

19. Oh, oh. I'm so sorry, SG.

[marble falls]

It's brutal.

[pwb]

31. I recently lost my Chico.

I have another dog but it is a big void. I miss him. He died laying on my stomach in bed and is buried in my yard. Sounds like Sugarbear had a good human. Peace.

[Celerity]

41. Chico wasnt a white poodle who attacked & bit every girl who came near him, yet was an angel to men?

asking for my childhood memories of my neighbour's dog with the same name

Sorry for your loss btw.

40. Condolences on the loss of your beloved kitty.

Sending hugs and love, samplegirl.

[calimary]

42. Awwwww...sweet kitty.

I’m so sorry, samplegirl.

I SO know how you feel. We moved up here in early 2018. Four fur babies - an older dog and three cats. Only one of those originals is still with us. We’ve had to say goodbye to the other three, most recently when our cat Barney died in January. His litter mate, Betty, is still here but she’s getting on in years.

And we STILL miss them! If I spent too much time focusing on that, I’d start crying all over again. Feeling choked up already, as I write this.

Virtual to you.

[PatrickforO]

43. He has crossed the Rainbow Bridge now, and is one with Spirit of Cat.

He carries with him the memories of the love he shared with you. May he rest in peace and perpetual light.

[AirmensMom]

44. I'm so sorry.

What a beautiful boy! We know it's going to happen one day, but it still hurts like hell when it does. I know. I hope your memories of him can be of some comfort.

[cate94]

45. So sorry.

[Texin]

46. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Know that you will always remember him even after your sorrow now diminishes in time.

[ego_nation]

48. Losing a beloved pet is so hard, I think especially because the relationship is so personal.

I'm sorry for your loss, and hope that comfort finds you.

[Upthevibe]

49. samplegirl....

I'm so sorry....

[Leith]

50. You gave him a good life

and he returned the favor with love. He wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

[BusyBeingBest]

51. I am sorry about your sweet boy.

58. I can't do anymore pain this year

today was it! I can’t do loss anymore! Take me instead!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

59. ...

[moreland01]

60. :-(

Your obvious devotion to Sugar Bear is reflected in how you matched your furniture, carpet and pillows to his coloring. That's real love. I'm sorry for your loss. Been there too many times.

[jcgoldie]

61. Sorry for your loss

My flo is 11 and i hope she will live forever 😢

[alfredo]

62. I never thought I could get so attached to an animal until Jeanie.

She died 15 years ago at the age of 22. I still miss her. She was 9lbs of love and fury.

Sorry for your loss.

[LittleGirl]

63. I'm so sorry 19! RIP

[Solly Mack]

64. I'm so sorry! :(

[EndlessWire]

65. Condolences

When my BFFL kitty passed away several years ago, I had to go to work rather than to stay home and cry like I wanted.

So, I imagined my cat going to work with me, walking down the hallways with me, visiting places with me, and generally being with me. It helped enormously, until I no longer needed that extra support. I know he is waiting for me.

[Duppers]

66. 🕯

A baby living to that age has been really loved. And he had to have known he was.

Very sorry he gone.

[3catwoman3]

67. One of our vets once said to me that we take our pets...

...into our hearts, knowing that we will typically outlive them, but we do it anyway because our lives are better while they are in it.

Cyber hug to you from afar.

[Vinca]

68. I'm so sorry. I don't think anything hurts worse. He was a beautiful guy.

[phylny]

69. I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved boy.

I’m sure his life with you was better than most humans’ lives on Earth.

[The Magistrate]

70. That's A Shame, Ma'am

He looks like a good kitty.

[Cousin Dupree]

71. Deepest sympathy. He's a lucky boy to have lived so long with you

[leighbythesea2]

72. Oh no

I am so sorry for your loss. What a nice life you must have given him. My pupper made it to 16 and that was 2 weeks ago. Everyone here was so nice, it really helped. I hope everyone here is helping you just a little even.

[Stinky The Clown]

73. Deep condolences

[shrike3]

74. I'm so, so sorry.

I know how you feel.

[Moostache]

75. I am very sorry for your loss.

I have gone through it with more fur babies than I care to count, and while it never gets easier to say goodbye, I have learned to mourn the loss but to also remember those good times and experiences and to hold on to them when the sadness gets to be too much.

[Meowmee]

76. So sorry💕

I know your pain well unfortunately. He is in your heart forever... I lost my floofy girl at 17.5 2 years ago and several more before her...My boy of 19 2 years before her....run free sweet Sugarbear 🌈🐾❤️

[barbtries]

77. I'm so sorry.

I lost my dog almost a year ago. he was the best dog ever and i miss him still, though i have a new puppy now who keeps my spirits up and is a wonderful and adorable guy.

[tblue37]

78. What a gorgeous darling. I am so sorry.

[Nevilledog]

79. Oh, honey.... I'm so sorry.

We love them so deeply and it's so hard to say goodbye.

[JGug1]

80. Sugarbear

As a small animal veterinarian and a fellow cat (and dog) lover, I share your lost. No words help. What a gorgeous cat.

[AllyCat]

81. Beautiful kitty. Thank you for giving him a good life

I’m so sorry you have lost him.

[Maraya1969]

82. I am so sorry. I know you pain and it's horrible.

You will get through this and as our next president says, "There will come a time when you think of them it will bring a smile to your lips rather than a tear to your eye"

[TwilightZone]

83. So sorry for your loss.

Losing furry kids is so difficult, particularly after that much time. Ours were 18 and 19.

[SheltieLover]

84. Deepest condolences

Healing vibes on the way to you. 💓💓💓

I hope you find peace in your fond memories together.

[ChazInAz]

85. It hurts so much.

Especially with a cat of that respectable age! I've had cats all my life, and remember every one of them fondly.

[redwitch]

86. I'm so sorry!

He was a beautiful boy! Virtual hugs, I understand very well how painful this loss is for you.

[matt819]

87. They keep coming into our lives

And we know that they will leave before we do. Maybe there's a lesson in there, about cats and humans.

We've lost cats, dogs, and horses. It's never easy, and we always wonder how we're going to cope with another loss. But then another one turns up - a stray, a rescue, an offer from a friend - and embrace them.

Sorry for your loss.

[shanti]

88. Sweet boy

I'm so sorry

[Liberal In Texas]

89. My condolences. It's really hard to lose your best buddy. n/t

[wendyb-NC]

90. What a beautiful boy, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Although 19 years is a good number of years for a pet, it's too short, they have such a special presence, in every day. They bring the joy, comfort, unflagging love, an uncanny dimension to our soul space. Always remember the precious gift of the love, he gave to you.

[Karadeniz]

91. OH, NO!!! Terrible news! Your comment reminded me of my late Jiffy. No matter where he was, he'd

Jump up and run to whomever entered. At potty cleaning time, he had to curl up in a lap and look ecstatic to be there. He never fought with another cat...but he loved dogs and that came close to killing him once.It was a joke among my female workers that they'd never find a man as great as Jiffy...he'd ruined them for any other male! So I know what you mean by learning about love from Sugarbear... They can give so much love!

[mnhtnbb]

92. I am so sorry, samplegirl.

What a pretty boy!

I am still grieving the loss of my Snowy from last June and can say that you will see Sugarbear everywhere in your home. Remember him playing, napping, eating, and cuddling with you. May those memories warm your heart. He knew how much he was loved.

[CottonBear]

93. I am so sorry. Sugarbear was a beautiful cat.

You will always have the love you lhad for each other in your heart.

[MoonRiver]

94. I know well how heartbreaking this is.

[brer cat]

95. I'm sorry, samplegirl.

I hope your many treasured memories will bring you a measure of peace during this heartbreaking time.

[LuckyCharms]

96. i'm so sorry.

[FuzzyRabbit]

97. I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful companion.

[lillypaddle]

98. Beautiful boy

So very sorry for your loss, samplegirl.

[pazzyanne]

99. Sympathy and virtual hugs on their way to you!

Great pets should have longer lives for the love they bring to us!

[spanone]

100. Nineteen, an amazing lifetime. So sorry for your loss.

Beautiful Boy...

[beemer27]

101. I'm sorry for your loss.

He is a very handsome cat. You must have had many wonderful times with him. Remember the good times. He will always live in your heart.

[Shadowsmith]

102. I'm so sorry.

Losing him is hard and painful, but it will get better. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to grieve.

He was a beautiful boy.

[TuxedoKat]

103. Oh, so sorry

I'm a big time cat lover. So sorry for the loss of your beautiful, beloved Sugarbear. (((HUGS)))

[Niagara]

My heart goes out to you.

[nocoincidences]

105. He's beautiful.

[Chili]

106. oh I'm so so sorry

We love them so much - and they love us back - and when we lose them... it breaks the heart.

Sugarbear is a beautiful boy.

And he will always always be with you, in your heart.

[XanaDUer2]

107. Hugs

Sorry

[peacebuzzard]

108. so sorry sample girl, that is sad...

nothing more sad than to lose an innocent sweet companion.

[snacker]

109. I'm so sorry

Losing a pet is a heartbreaking experience. Sending virtual hugs your way.

[mzmolly]

110. I'm so sorry

for your loss.

[BigmanPigman]

111. My little do died 18 weeks ago...

It seems like 18 million years since every day without her is so miserable. She was 17 and everyone says that I was lucky she lived that long. I don't feel lucky. If she lived a zillion years it still wouldn't be long enough.

I have so much empathy for your loss. I hope you handle it better than I have been doing. The loss is enormous.

[hamsterjill]

112. My heartfelt sympathies.

They are family!!! I am so glad that Sugarbear was loved and cherished and never hungry or cold. Nineteen years is a long life for a kitty and they don’t make it that long without a loving pet parent. Thank you for giving him your love and care.

They leave an empty spot that can never be filled.

[Sugarcoated]

113. I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy

[warmfeet]

114. That is as rough as it gets.

I am so sorry.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

115. I'm so very sorry for your loss. After 19 years there's an extraordinary bond between a cat

and his human. A way of communicating and mutual love and respect that's extraordinary and that not many people or cats get to experience. My thoughts are with you.

[chowder66]

116. My heart goes out to you.nt

[electric_blue68]

117. :( So sorry! Gentle hug.

[Catcar]

118. Sugarbear was beautiful! Losing a beloved family member is oh so hard. I'm very for your loss.

[KT2000]

119. Oh dear, that is so hard

You have my sympathy. And You made a good point - they do teach us about love.

[blueseas]

120. So very sorry

Blessings to the boy and you.

[Ruby Zee]

121. What a beautiful boy

My deepest condolences on the loss of your Sugarbear

[onecaliberal]

122. I am so very sorry for your loss. 💔

[Demovictory9]

123. 😢

😢

[Fla Dem]

124. I am so, so sorry. I will hug my girl a little closer tonight in Sugarbear's memory.

My girl, 14 years old has been sick for past 2 weeks. Took her to the vet, but she couldn’t find anything wrong. She had been vomiting, lethargic and loose bowels. Vet gave her an antibiotic shot in case she picked up a virus, I don’t know from where as she’s an inside cat. Today was the first day all systems were pretty normal, so I hope she’s good going forward.

But just the thought that she was sick and I didn’t know why and she seemed to be getting weaker every day was breaking my heart. I couldn’t imagine her not being here.

So while I still have my girl with me, I can only imagine how difficult it is for you to say good bye to your boy. He was a beautiful boy. You had a wonderful 19 years with him and he had a wonderful 19 years with you. This is what you’ll hold in your heart.💕

[I_UndergroundPanther]

125. When a kitty dies

He moves into the cat shaped place in your heart that he put there with love.

He will love you forever.

[sakabatou]

126. Hugs

[Pathwalker]

127. I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing our furry children hurts,

I know. Remember the good times with your sweet child, the memories will keep you warm. Again, I am so sorry.

[Olafjoy]

128. So so sorry

Losing Sugarbear and Eddie Van Halen in one day is incredibly sad. They both had beautiful hair/fur.

[tosh]

129. What a handsome guy!

As others have said, there is no greater pain.

Darn, I wish we could make it easier on you.

[MFM008]

130. so sorry

if I lost my boy right now, i dont think I could handle it.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

131. Some people dream of angels...you held one in your arms...

[JesterCS]

133. I'm so sorry! :(

I currently have 3 cats and they are my favorite family members besides my parents.

[Baltimike]

134. My Mallie was nineteen too. I lost her last year and it still hurts

but I got a new kitty a few weeks later and he helped fill the void. Not completely, but it helped a lot.

[pansypoo53219]

135. pets don't live so long so you can know more pets. soon i will need a new pair.last cat is about the

same age. has thyroid issues + kidney issues. but she is fiesty.

[westerebus]

136. Sorry for your loss of a loving friend.

[SnowCritter]

We lost our precious Chloe a couple of months ago.

It hurts, but the memories are warm.

[MerryBlooms]

138. My deepest condolences, samplegirl. My client lost his dog on Saturday...

The grieving process takes time and comes in waves. I'm so sorry, hon.

[CousinIT]

139. I am so sorry. They always own your heart. No matter how long it's been.

They just live in there forever.

SO sorry for the loss of your best fur-baby.

[luvtheGWN]

140. You gave each other 19 years of caring, kindness and love.

Treasure your memories. My Toffee, the Burmese, turned 17 last month. Yes, he's showing his age, and every day I wonder how much longer we'll have each other.

[Doreen]

141. My heart is with you. Sorry for your loss.
