R.I.P. Leo, My Beloved Cat

You girls know, that besides fashion& beauty, I dedicated one little part of this blog to my personal life too...

Well, honestly, it's been a rough weekend... I wasn't sure whether I feel like blogging about this, because I'm the type of person who likes to keep its pain private...but then, I feel like I want to dedicate this blog post to my beloved cat, Leo, who is no longer with us :(

I found out the disturbing news on the friday night, when I returned home from work. My granny called my hubby to tell him what happened &to ask him to give the news to me...

Mixed of emotions going through my head: Numbness, Shock, Sadness, Anger, Anxiousness!

Leo was living with my Mum& Granny at my home in Croatia. He was a 5 years old (he would have celebrated his 6.th birthday this March), 8kg. big cat.

I LOVED him, nedless to say, or try to describe with words, the intensity of my feelings.

My Mum got him while I was still living in London. When I came back home to stay definitely, Leo was just a few months old, I'll never forget that first moment when we met.

I opened the doors of my house, and he was there, walking towards me, with this puzzled look in his eyes, asking me who I was& introducing himself to me :)

We had spent lots of cuddly moments together!

He was very intelligent, I felt as if he really understands me :)

Living here in Italy, away from my cats (we have another cat, Zrno, who is also very sad& alone now), I missed Leo so much! I was always looking forward to my next trip home because I would have seen again my family& my cats, always my cats.

Growing up, I always had cats, sometimes even four or five.

I just love these animals so much! Well, I LOVE all the animals!!!

I still can't explain Leo's death to myself: He wasn't going out, he couldn't have been poisoned.

He became so sick that he kept vomiting& my Mum brought him to the vet.

They gave him two shots, one was to calm the vomiting instinct& the other was antibiotic. The vet told my Mum he would be fine& made an appointment to see Leo the next day.

My Mum took care of him at home, was constantly with him...Leo died in the early hours of Friday.

Did he have some serious illness that we wasn't aware of? There are so many unanswered questions going through my mind...

This is my little reminiscence of Leo, my beloved cat, who'll always live in my memories...

I <3 you Leo!

On this pic, he was just a few months old.
On the smaller pic, he already had 4-5 years, he loved sleeping in the
boxes! Even though he was so big, he couldn't fit inside!

Have you experienced the pain of losing your dear pet?

You did you deal with this?

This is not the first time I'm crying over a lost pet...every time I loose my dear animal friend, my heart is left with another scar.

But remembering all the good times& the overwhelming love these little creatures are capable of giving you,

makes my heart heal. 

Lots of love,

xoxo Sonja
