My Penny from Heaven Has Gone to Heaven

102 comments

I knew this post was coming, but I hoped it wouldn’t be so soon. Penny was so weak this morning that she could only walk about 2 feet before needing to rest so we knew we had to end her suffering.

I will write more about her soon, but I need some time. Lorianne will still host the fill-ins, and I will visit you all eventually. Thank you all again for your purrs and prayers. We are thankful for the bonus time we had with her and for the 14 years she was with us.

Thank you for the beautiful badge Ann (June’s mom)

And thank you to Ingrid (Benji and Dalton’s mom) for these beautiful badges.

  8. Oh Ellen! We are berift! Penny was a wonderful cat and we so enjoyed her presence (and her tips) on your blog. Penny was such a lovely soul!

  12. I am so sorry, Ellen. The comfort comes from knowing how much she was loved with you and your Husband. She wanted to stay but is was time and she had two people who loved her till the end. Every cat, every pet, every animal deserves that.
    Thank you for loving her and thank you for sharing her with us ❤️

  13. We are so sorry to read this. She certainly knew love, and that love came from so many of us who only met her through your writings. Purrayers for so many good memories to help with the pain of her loss.

  15. Ellen and David, This totally breaks my heart. 💔 I know how difficult that decision was. The kitties send lots of purrs, and I am sending love and hugs as you grieve. We will all miss this super sweet girl.

  18. Oh no. I was hoping she would continue to improve. I’m so, so sorry. She was such a beautiful little lady.

  19. I just got home a bit ago and got online and I’m so sad to see this.

    Please know you truly are in my prayers. It’s never easy, even when we know it’s coming.

  21. The kitties and I are so sorry that you and your husband lost your beautiful Penny, Ellen. We had been purring for her recovery. We’re glad that she had y’all’s love and devotion during her time here. We will purr for you to find peace and comfort in sweet memories. XO

  23. We are heartbroken for you……Penny was a resident in your comfy home for 14 years – safe and happy and with all cat family and kind and caring Mom and Dad. I know it was very hard to say goodbye – it’s the hardest moment for us as cat Moms and Dads. She is no longer in pain and will watch over you with the other 15andmeowing Angels always and forever.

    Hugs, Pam and Teddy

  25. I am so sorry to hear this, Ellen. I was hoping she was on her way to recovery. Sweet Angel Penny will always be in our hearts.

  27. I am so sorry. I read this first on Meezer’s blog and came flying over here to see if it was your Penny. She was a beautiful cat and had a great life with you. Hugs to all.

  28. We are deeply saddened that Penny has flown away. As soon as she read it, mom was in tears.and we both will never forget Penny. What a beautiful girl she was. We will miss her always. Rest in peace, loved girl. We will see you in Heaven when we are called to be there.

    Lulu: “We send lots of tail wags your way right now.”
    Oona: “And Oona and the other cats send lots of purrs.”

  32. We are just heartsick at hearing this news. I’m so sorry, Ellen. You did everything possible for your sweet precious girl. Please know we’re sending loads of comforting thoughts. 💔

  33. Ellen, I believe our cats communicate in mysterious ways I was posting an Instagram to Facebook where I rarely spend much time since I’m not blogging or Blog hopping much these days and the first post I saw was yours about Penny, I left a comment and I thought oh that’s just so perfect. When cats want to communicate with someone they do and she was such a special girl. Hugs to you at this time.

  34. penny, we all are truly sorry you could not spend more time with mom and dad. you tried your best, and they did their best. st michael even tried his best, and hope your mom and dad know he and st francis saw you safely to heaven. you are are gorgeous gal that will be missed by all your friends; we will miss all the tips, and your mom and dad will miss you forever, especially dad when he’s in the kitchen.
    we all send hugs and loves to you, and your pawrentz, 💔💔💔💔
