I have no words. Crying for your beloved companion, sending you all my love.

Sorry for her passing.

I am so sorry for your loss. They are family members, too. It hurts so much to lose them. Sending comforting purrs from three German cats to you.

Oh Gretel my love :-(

I sit here with tears of sorrow for you rolling down my face. I can understand how you must be feeling. As a cat lover and owner of 3 elderly cats, I dread the day that I have to say goodbye to any of them. Poor poor you.

I am so glad that Mouse found you though, what a wonderful, stress free, lovely life you gave her. Big hugs xxx

So sorry to hear about your precious Mouse :( x

I'm so sorry to hear... I feel your pain...it'll get better...eventually...

safe journey Mouse... a true companion. Loved by all...as I shed a tear for the lovely human family you have left behind.

Cried reading through, but at the same time thinking what a beautiful tribute to Mouse this is. So sorry for your loss, may he live in your hearts forever.

Oh Gretel, I am so very sorry. My tears are flowing for you and your dear sweet mouse. She couldn't have asked for better or more heartfelt words.xxx

I am so very, very sorry!

Oh Gretel. SO sorry for the loss of your furry friend. Big condolences and hugs from afar. I know how painful it is and what a big hole they leave in our hearts when they go...

Dear Gretel and Andy,
thinking of you. They leave such holes, let the hole fill with memories and let grief take its time.

Oh dear, I lost my constant companion just last week.

Almost unbearable.

Dear Gretel, if I was near you, I would give you a hug. I can imagine how you and Andy are feeling. Some years ago we lost our dearest dog Mixy and we can't stop remembering him with smiles and tears... It still hurts a lot! We will ever miss him and love him...
I'm so sorry for the loss of your true and devoted friend and companion! I'm sure Mouse had a wonderful life with you - at a quiet place, free, loved and happy!

I know exactly how you feel and I'm so sorry. My best bud was my Manz Uther and I still miss him after about 3 years.
Hugs to you both!

So sorry, I've been there too, with my beloved Rupert. Some of them are just so special.

Oh my goodness I am so sad for you. It is so awful when we lose our babies. Sending you hugs,

Aw,Gretel, I'm SO sorry. There is no sadness like that of losing a good cat friend. They just quietly share so much with us. It's a big loss, you know?

Sending love and hugs for you all. I know that pain all too well and about all you can do is cry. Know that we care during this very difficult and sad time.

Sob. I did not know her before, but I do now from your beautiful eulogy and I am crying for her and for you.

Sending hugs. Just know you gave her a great life.

Dearest Gretel,
No words can make this any easier.
Sending love to you and Andy.
There is a huge hole, there is a space that will not be filled, there is such loss.
There is also the spirit of love given and returned...to be held forever.
xoxo Ellen.

I know the words "I'm sorry" aren't nearly enough. I know all too well after losing my precious puffy princess in May. I know how hard it is to make the decision. She loves you for making the right one. She is yours forever. Don't ever forget that.

This is heartbreaking and I am so sorry for your loss. I have been reading all of your blog but this post has made me want to contact you and send you condolences and hope that you find peace for your aching heart. Dear little Mouse, what a blessing animals are, and what a lucky little Mouse that she had you to love her for her whole life.

Oh, Mouse... Oh, Gretel, I'm so sorry.

So sorry - there is nothing quite like the sorrow of losing a beloved pet and friend. Hugs,

Hey Gretel, as I sit here on the couch with Tigger by my side, nudging my hand wanted a scratch and purring loudly........I feel your loss and your pain........

What a wonderful post about a dear sweet little Mouse who found a place in your heart and life. Lovely photos specially of her sitting in the swan.....A much loved and loving furry companion.

Hugs to you and Andy,

CLaire x

So sorry x

So sorry x

What a lovely Mousie, so beloved!
A great and sad loss.
I'm so sorry.

Gretel, I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of Mouse. We lost one of our cats a couple of months ago, so I understand the grief you're feeling right now. Today, the world may seem a little darker but the sun will return and, with it, the memories of all the smiles and laughs of cat-shaped antics. You will always have these memories and the knowledge that Mouse was *your* cat and had a truly wonderful home and life.

Oh Gretel, I am so sorry. I recently had the same experience with my Momma Cat. So, so sad. ((Hugs))

Gretel, this tribute to sweet Mouse has allowed us all the chance to also love this very special spirit.

I am glad to have been able to make Mouse's acquaintance. As a rather quiet being myself (true!) I very much welcome that quality in others.

Lots of love to you and Andy. xo

I am so sorry to hear that you have lost such a well-loved member of your family. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost my cats. Your post has moved me to tears.

So sorry, what a very very special cat xx

Oh Gretel, I am so sorry, poor dear mouse, I have tears falling down my face too.....for you....for mouse....and for our dear Sophie who we had to do the same 4 weeks ago....
my thoughts and love to you....Yvette xxxx

Gretel and Andy I'm so so sorry to hear of your loss. All my thoughts are with you. xx

awww .....no...... what a sad day .... hugs to you and Andy......... I loved hearing about your little 'Mousie'.. I once reared a little runt cat and she was a special, precious little girl to me too....

So sorry to hear about Mouse. I know how sad you will both be, but she had the best life a cat could have with you both! xxx

Tears for a cat, just tears...
My thoughts are with you.

Dear Gretel - I have just caught up with your post and am so saddened to read of your loss. Such a heartbreaking but lovely post about your dear Mouse. I lost my favourite boy over 10 years ago now but still miss him. It is not until you have a cat that you realise just what characters and friends they can be. Wishing you well ... M xx
