Dorothy; reading your post has bought tears to me eyes, I am so very sorry and like so many on here, understand completely just how wretched you are feeling right now. Peek-A-Boo was indeed a pretty, pretty princess and so very lucky to been loved so much throughout her life and without doubt she knew that and loved you very much too.
Wish things were different for you, I will keep you in my thoughts and send great big hugs your way

awww,Dorthy I am so very sorry for your lose of Peek -A-B00
Your are in my Thoughts and Prays.
Thank you everyone. Teddy and I are doing okay today. We looked for her last night when we can into the bedroom but she wasn't here. Teddy was such a BIG help to me last night. He knew something was wrong and he just put his face on mine. Teddy misses Peek-A-Boo but I think he knows she was not feeling good.
I've decided to get Teddy a little brother. He needs a fur friend to run, jump, and wrestle with. I can't get another ragdoll so I'm going to the shelter to adopt a little brother for him. I've called the shelter and the director is a very nice lady. I'm hoping to go in the next week or two and check out the kittens. She said they have over 100 kittens. That's good but sad. People just don't get it.
Anyways Thank you for remembering Teddy & I. I appreciate you taking the time to think about us. We are fine.
That's good to hear, Dorothy. Good Luck in your quest to find Teddy a playmate.
I'm sure Teddy will love having a little brother. We're looking forward to hearing more about your new kitten when you've chosen him and he arrives home.
I am so so sorry to hear about your loss.
Teddy isn't doing as well as I thought he was. We had a bad night last night. He was looking for Peek-A-Boo. He went to all the places she had been like on my scooter, the mats by the front door, and where her princess tent was. He was meowing for her but she was deaf so she never heard Teddy's voice. He kept smelling around the carpet and looking at me. I guess he accepted that she could be gone one night but another night wasn't possible and she should be home with us. I tried to comfort him but I didn't do a very good job. I just held him and cried in the hallway. I know she is in a better place but he doesn't know that. He just knows she is gone and he misses her. We have a little ways to go I guess. I knew it was coming but Teddy had no idea.
It's so sad that we can't tell our fur kids what's going on, isn't it? I know Teddy will adjust over time, an Dorothy -- the pain WILL fade in time, even though now it doesn't seem like it. Many of us have been where you are now and know how rough it is. Hopefully a little brother or sister for Teddy to love will help your heart -- not replace Peek-A-Boo, but just give you somewhere else to give the love in this life.

Thank you, Teresa. I'm doing okay. I know she is fine now but Teddy doesn't know that. I tell him but he just knows she is gone and he wants her to come back. That's breaking my heart. I hope that a little brother or sister will comfort him and not upset him. I don't want him to think I'm replacing Peek-A-Boo. Do cats think like that? Even Madorrie is missing her and said yesterday and today Peek-A-Boo a piece of chicken. I tell them but they just know she is gone. I'm more sad for them than for me. I understand and they don't. It all takes time.
Cats live in the here and now. He still smells her scent as it is in the carpet, etc. He will adjust and accept.
In my opinion another playmate is good (assuming personality fits and all) but maybe give it a little time as he needs to adjust to one change at a time.
