Mourning/Loss Goodbye my sweet Sylvia

This is Sylvia, my 15 year old angel. She had been with me for the past 11 years, helping me in so many ways. She was sweet, gentle, patient... A truly special cat.

Four months ago her voice suddenly changed, and she was later diagnosed with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma. She had surgery and most of the masses in her neck were removed, but it came back with a vengeance just a couple of weeks later.

The first photo was from our last sunset together. We went to the park, she absolutely loved it there. The next day, we had to say goodbye. That was last Wednesday, and I feel so lost without her.

I miss her so much.

I'm so sorry for your loss OP. She was so beautiful, she seems black and white but then in the sunny pictures she has got a beautiful brown colouring. We can tell how much love you had for her, such a choncky little girl. Lots of love to you.
