We all have special cats in our lives, and many of us have lost a special friend. Here is a place to share stories about our special friends. Write a story about your special cat, and submit it. Pet urns and memorials can ease our grieving by giving us a tangible something to hold or visit. All of these ideas, stories, and items remind us of the love and devotion our pets have for us and that they are never truly gone from our lives. That love lives on.
Do cats have souls? I believe they do. I believe they go to a special place in heaven and come back as people. I believe that the way we treat them while they are alive determines what kind of people they become. Hopefully, they are treated well and come back as caring, loving people. I belive that if we treat a cat badly, it comes back as a mean spirited person.
I would rather have nice and loving people in my life, so I treat my cats with kindness, respect and love. Maybe I'm delusional, maybe not. Descarte said that if there was a God and he didn't believe, he was screwed, but if there was no God and he believed, it hurt none. He decided to believe. No one can sit in judgement on me but the God of my understanding.
And the cats.
Always the cats.
We want to honor our lost friends. Here are a couple of ways that work for me. Use them if you want to. Take them as ideas for your own memorials. The items offered here are custom-made. No mass-marketed, cookie-cutter memorial for a grieving soul!
Cats feel grief, too! Here are some coping tools to use on your kitty when s/he feels the loss keenly and just doesn't seem to be getting on with life.
Submit your cat stories for inclusion. Your memorial to your cat will live long and ease your mind. Use the form below. And memorials aren't the only thing you can submit! Original Fiction is also accepted. Just tell me that it's fiction at the beginning of the story.
** A hint to help you submit a clean copy: Open your text editor and write there. When you are happy with your story, copy and paste it into the form. If you want to include a photograph, there are instructions after you submit your story.

The Cat Whisperer by Bruce Schimmel Here's a tale for the end of the year, which perhaps you'll consider for a New Year's resolution. A fable about my cat, Fracas, whom we thought would be dead by now. But that was before she met the Cat Whisperer.
Cat Whisperer Confesses Written by plinth course Atlanta, GA -- Chris B. Kream (not her legal name), the self-styled ‘Cat Whisperer’ called a press conference today to offer apologies to her followers (upwards of ten now) and to make amends, she says, for her "bad cat" advice. She intends to offer re-training to her cat-clients that "should" revert them to their former selves.
