Hi Catherine - first comment I have made on your channel - your Pepsi story mirrored ours, we had a 16 year old ish ginger boy who moved house from a neighbours and pretty much lived with us. We lost him on the way to the vets and didn't have to put him to sleep. I have never cried so much for numerous days and we see him all over the place. I have to say if he'd gone off into the neighbourhood and we couldn't have found him that would have been more devastating, at least you and ourselves knew what happened to her/him. You come across as such I lovely person, take care and regards from Lorna in the UK. x
"I don`t know if they`ll let her in Heaven" like they`d have a choice, them angels will be gettin a swipe if not ! And as you said Pepsi could make her home anywhere so I just know she`ll be snoozing in a flower pot somewhere up there. She will be missed by us all, wishing you gentle days Catherine, you were a blessing to each other, much love XX
I am so sad to hear about Pepsi 😢-I had to have my Emily put to sleep at 18 years old. It is never easy, just be kind to yourself and know you gave her an amazing life. They say grief is the cost of loving someone and it’s so true. Sassy girls rule!!!
Oh, Catherine, I have been crying throughout the whole video! My cat Titos died on the 21st of February this year. He was born in 2005 just like Pepsi! He was just 2 months old when I found him. Every word you said touched my heart! I loved the last thing you said that we can't close our heart to love and that another furry friend will find its way to you. That's exactly what happened to me 15 days ago, although I haven't been over my grieving. I found a starving 6 weeks old kitten in the street and rescued it. Spent a week trying to keep it alive. Thankfully he made it through and now I've fallen in love again. Titos will always be missed and will always have a special place in my heart, the same way Pepsi will always be in yours. Hope you find a new furry friend soon and Blondie gets a new companion. Sending you all my love and support. 😻🐾🐾🐈
Bless you for saving that kitten. You are his guardian angel. I had to have my 20 year old girl,Ivy put to sleep late last year and I still teared up listening to Catherine. She was also a sassy girl. Everything was on her terms but she was still full of affection in her own way.
Oh sweet girl 🥺😢😭 never, ever apologize for crying, for loving your adopted child. I was rescued by my little girl who I was blessed to have for 21 years. I recognized Pepsi’s shift in demeanour before you had mentioned it in video as Solstice went through similar changes. She died in my arms at the vets. (They give you the option to leave your pet or stay with them. I held her) I sang her song to her (You are my Sunshine) and proceeded to cry so hard I threw up several times. That was three years ago this coming Labour Day and I will never stop loving and missing her. I know there aren’t words, so I sit crying with you, and raise a pint to Pepsi. I also love the lessons of Pepsi! Seems our little sassy figured out Swipe Left kitty style! On a side, the blanket looks awesome and I love your dress! 🤗🙏🏽
Oh, Dainty! I’m sending you gentle hugs. We’ll miss seeing Pepsi, but I wish her sunny meadows, now that she’s crossed the rainbow bridge. Our pets hold a special place in our hearts that boys can’t fill. When my little dog Max, passed away in 2012, I was so devastated. A couple of months later, I adopted my furry boy, Captain Mal. He’s my shadow & has brought so much joy. Sending love to you & Blondie 💕❤️🩹
Your framed flowers were beautiful. Less is more in that, I believe. I’m sorry for the loss of a dear friend that Pepsi had become, and she has probably already decided to spend most of her time at your mansion in Heaven when it’s built. Until then, I don’t imagine she will have any trouble making new friends there.😉 BTW, did you know that your beloved pets are able to speak when they reach Heaven? It’s true, and for those who would tell you different, it CAN be proven from scriptures in the Bible. Also true! When she sees you again I’m sure she will tell you how much she loved and appreciated your friendship and kindness, and letting her simply be who she was. Anyway, The blanket turned out lovely, and I enjoyed seeing it made because I’ve seen that “yarn” in the craft store and always wondered how hard it would be to work with to make a blanket. Blessings, and have a great weekend ahead!
She was loved by you Catherine and she trusted you to live in your house. Pets and their people are the special bond that melds us to knowing real love. She was a rare sassy swipy lady. Remember fondly 💝
I’m so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. I completely know how you feel. My husband & I had a boy & girl Yorkie since they were babies. My girl, Pixie, took her last breath in my arms in July 2017. She was just a few days shy of her 13th birthday. I cried for days. My boy Yorkie, Jake, passed in my husband’s lap in July 2019. He was 15 1/2 years old. Once again, I was heartbroken. After that I said no more pets. I can’t go through that again. February 16, 2021 (just 2days after our 15th wedding anniversary), I lost my husband to cancer. I am forever heartbroken. I love watching your videos. It helps me as I’m trying to figure out how to live on my own. Thank you for all you do. I loved your arm knitted blanket & your flower pressing! Much love from 🇺🇸
Our four footed babies leave lasting footprints in our hearts. She was very loved, the greatest blessing for a little kitty. I love the blanket, so warm and cuddly for your bed or chair. 😘
I’m so sorry to hear about Pepsi’s passing. Take comfort in the fact that you gave her a beautiful home, a safety and care and most importantly lots of love. Im glad decided on the cremation because you can her with you wherever you live. Oh, love the knit blanket. Will definitely try it.
I cried with you. I just recently lost my cat Gruffydd to bone cancer. You have all the videos with her to look back on for years to see how beautiful she was. Never apologize for crying over the loss of a beloved pet. They are like our children. Sending you hugs.
I'm so sorry Catherine, Pepsi was a very, very lucky girl 💗 It helps that she got to enjoy the garden and pots and get plenty of sun, warmth and bug & flower smells. It's the small things that count. Love to Blondie 💖 I'm pretty sure the blanket is made of wool roving, which is used for felt and needle felting. Sometime people think wool shrinks from heat, but it's just as much any agitation (even just moving it in water with your hands) and any bit of detergent speeds that process up too, HTH If you ever feel like trying a small knitting/felting project, look up "Mouse in the House" on ravelry - it's a great pattern for felted cat toys!
Sweetheart I'm so sorry for your loss and never be sorry for crying it's what makes you human after all our pets do leave paw prints on our hearts when they go but they also leave happy memories so take comfort in that. You gave Pepsi a safe,happy and loving home and of all the people she chose you x
I am so sorry! :( It is so hard losing a pet, they are our family. At least you were with her when she crossed the rainbow bridge. Big hugs to you Catherine!
Oh sweetheart, I’m so sorry for your loss, they take a piece of your heart when they go. She was a beautiful girl and you gave her a wonderful life. I lost my Oliver a couple of years back, he was almost 19, I was devastated so I can imagine how you’re feeling. I’m in tears watching this and I’m sending you a big hug. Look after yourself and take care xxx
Oh Catherine so sorry about Pepsi 😢 heartbreak is always the price we pay for loving our dear pets so much , your lovely memories of her will last a lifetime X
I'm so very sorry for Pepsi but so thankful you got to be with her as she crossed the bridge. Take all the time you need... your heart will know when it's time to love a new baby. Remember, when they pass, they take a piece of our heart but when we choose to love again, they give us a piece of their heart. Blessings.
Your chanel is like having a brew with a friend, you are so real, bringing real life and emotions. So sorry for your loss, Pepsi was a character for sure and will not be forgotten 🙏🏽❤
Oh Catherine… my heart aches for your loss of Pepsi… the creative DIYs today were so pretty and peaceful to watch and I trust that your tears keep you connected to sweet memories 💕 Sincerely, Susan
Those kitties just wrap themselves around your heart, don’t they? I’m sorry for your loss, but always remember how much happiness Pepsi brought with her and how well loved she was.
Yup i was in tears!!! I feel your pain and I’m so sorry for your loss! Those little fur balls certainly steal the heart then break it when they leave us 🙁 But even though it’s hard now, yes, there is always room to love another! The day our last kitty died I SWORE I was NEVER doing this again!!! I can’t go through this AGAIN 😩 an hour after her death and coming home to an empty house i packed up the cat carrier and headed off to adopt two more kitties and I never regretted that! I just keep telling myself, there are so many that need a home and I will give them a good home, love and time and I will sob uncontrollably when they’re gone but I will do it again! 💕
So sorry for your loss! I cried when you got choked up! Our pets become family. I lost my dog of 17 years 3 years ago. I think of him every day! They stay with us always! Sending you and Blondie so much love! And that blanket is gorgeous! I’m going to try making one!! ❤️
I was just thinking last week how cute Pepsi looked in the plant pot. Bless her she picked the right home to live in. I have two black cats 🐈⬛ and they are getting extra hugs. Your crafts turned out great. Xx
Oh sweet Catherine, I’m so sorry for sweet Pepsi’s passing. 😥. I have no doubt she’s in heaven and having a wonderful time scoping out all the best flower pots to rest in! 🪴. I’ve experienced a lot of loss in my recent years and have learned that the depth you love is the depth you grieve. Animals have no expectations of us, they just love us anyway. I think you should plant something black in your garden to remind you of sweet little Pepsi, like black hollyhocks or petunias. They are a nice contrast to pink. And sharing a pint in honor of her life and her sassy personality is completely appropriate! My Irish Nana would agree! 🍻to Pepsi! Much love ❤️! Sending hugs and prayers! And I’m going to order the flower pressing kit! 🌺☘️💞
🇨🇦❤️I’m also a cantankerous, (but loving), old girl like Pepsi and I didn’t think I’d cry, but each time your voice broke, the tears started for me. It’s damnably difficult to say goodbye forever to these exquisitely beautiful creatures. I know that Blondie will help you through this and give you as much love and attention as it’s possible for a cat to give. Pepsi will be missed and always remembered through your videos, so to me, it’s a bit like immortality for her. Also, I loved the crafts in this video so much that I’m considering trying them myself. Your illustration of how to make the blanket is actually much better than any others that I’ve seen because I believe that I’ll be able to follow along. Thank you, dear girl, and much love to you in this sad time.
Cats always find you. I remember going to the rescue shelter and one of the cats sat on my lap as if to say "yep, you'll do. Take me home!" So I did 😄 another cat just turned up in our street and adopted our household. It's so sad when they die but we try to make them happy while they're with us +
They only ever hurt you when they die. I think, especially in lockdown, people have learned the importance of pets. She had a wonderful life and you were a massive part of that. Sending you huuuuuge hugs and love ❤️🌈
Catherine, I am so sorry for your loss, but am so glad Pepsi found you. You gave her a great life and she gave you lots of love and cheekiness! Reflect back on the wonderful memories you had together and never apologize for crying. It shows you are human and have great love, empathy, and caring inside you. I look forward to seeing who the next pet to find you will be! RIP sweet Pepsi ❤ Be well, Catherine. 💝
Oh, Catherine, I'm so sorry about you losing Pepsi. Losing our furry friends is heart breaking. Thinking of you! Thank you that you still took the time to make and edit this video for us. I wish I could give you a big hug. Seeing you crying broke my heart.The blanket is lovely.
Oh Catherine.. my darling.... my heart is breaking for you. I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Pepsi. I know how painful it is to lose a pet. I foster cats for a local charity and have done it full time for the past 3 years. As a rule I take the cats that are old and sick, that nobody wants, and I nurse them and love them until their time to pass comes. I am always in bits when I lose a furbaby. At the moment I have my first ever Mum and three weeks ago she gave birth to 3 gorgeous kittens.. so this time I was kitty midwife. I am sending you all my love... from Devon. xxxxxxx
There are many pet cemeteries here in the US. They look just like human cemeteries just cuter with all the bits and bobs their owners leave on their graves when they visit. Its so sweet to walk through them and see all sweet little names and pictures on the head stones! ❤️❤️🥰 another kitten will find it’s way to you. I promise. I got a lovely yellow rose bouquet for my birthday in June. ( favorite color) after a week I took it out of the water and tied it with a bow and hung it upside down! It dried perfectly! I sprayed it with my favorite perfume this morning and hung it back up. A few petals fell off. A pressed them out and put them between pages of some heavy old books! I’ll check back in a week. They already feel like fabric. Amazing.
Thank you for letting us know about Pepsi's peaceful passing. Saying the words out loud are so hard. Be kind to you and give Blondie all your love. Sending you a virtual *hug* and much love xxx
I'm so sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing Pepsi in your videos. I know it's heartbreaking, take care of yourself. You're such a kind person, Pepsi chose you for a reason.
Farewell Pepsi! You brought a ton of joy to Catherine, Blondie and all of your subbies. Thank you for that. As a human that has had to say goodbye to two beautiful dogs that left a total of thirty years of memories in my heart, I know you will meet up with all of your humans again some day. Take care of your heart Catherine.
So sorry to hear of pepsi's passing Catherine, I had to get my cat put to sleep due to kidney failure a few months back, he was born in 2005 as well and I decided to have him cremated, pets have the ability to cause joy and heartbreak, but the best thing is the memories they leave behind which helps with the loss💔❤️
I can’t stop crying 😭 You gave your fur baby such a lovely life. I will miss seeing Pepsi in videos, but know she had a beautiful long life and was very loved. Thank you for sharing and being so honest and real with your followers. 💕
I’m so sorry for the loss of the lovely Ms Pepsi. Condolences to you, her other family and her many TH-cam and Instagram fans. Your blanket looks great I’ve been meaning to try craft one myself
Lots of love to you, Catherine! My husband and I have two fur babies, Isabella & Rambo (twin sister and brother ;)) Isabella was kneading on my lap and purring watching you do your flower arrangement & pawing at the screen! It was so cute. We also lost a kitty recently; we named her Bobo and she came to us and decided we were her people. She loved to hang out with us on our front porch. We fed her of course...but one day this past month, she was not coming for dinner anymore. We think she was very old (had gray hairs) and she found somewhere to pass away (she basically lived in the gutter before she started sleeping on our steps). So, I feel the pain too!! It was so sad for me for several days coming home from work not seeing her there on the steps anymore or running up to greet me. She was so cuddly and sweet. Never knew an outdoor cat that was such a snuggler like her, she will be remembered fondly forever! She was a "Pepsi" color as well ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss 😿. I was crying my eyes out when you said Pepsi passed. 😭 I loved her sass and love for sleeping in the garden! The blanket looks beautiful as well. I hope you and Blondie will be well and remember that one day you'll see again her over the rainbow bridge.
Oh, Catherine! I'm so very sorry about Pepsi. She had a grand life and a peaceful passing. It's so hard losing a beloved pet. Lots of love to you, and Blondie, and sending Pepsi loving hugs. Xxxx
I was crying before the video even started Catherine as soon as I saw your title I knew. Poor Pepsi. You gave her such a happy life and I know losing a pet is such a heart breaking thing. We will miss the sassy little missy. Xxx
As an avid follower of your videos I am heartbroken at the news of your loss. Pepsi had a wonderful home with you and a charmed life. Love to you and Blondie and bless you both.
Pets are indeed a different kind of love. My childhood cats passed away going on 15 years ago, and I still can't bring myself to get another one. I get my pet fix by pet sitting for friends and family, where I can get my cuddles and snuggles, then I'm able to leave them back into their owner's care. And I still would swear that I see them darting around the house, out of the corner of my eye. 😊
Aww Catherine! I'm so sorry to hear about Pepsi. She was such a lovely little character!! We have three kitties and my big manx boy, Hawkeye, got up in my lap for part of your video. He knows who the feline lovers are! Sending you lots of love and sympathy!!
RIP Pepsi. I feel your pain having been a cat mum for decades. Thanks so much for sharing this difficult news. Brought tears to my eyes remembering my own lost kitties. Your open heart will attract another soul. xxx
Oh, Catherine! I know it’s so hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet! At least you know that Pepsi had a wonderful, loving home and many, many fans throughout the world… hugs to you and kisses to Blondie!!❤️😢😘
My heart goes out to you Catherine and may Pepsi RIP. Pepsi was very well loved by you and always a special part of this channel. Our fur souls are always in our hearts and memories. xxx
So sorry to hear about your beautiful little girl 💕 you have a gorgeous spirit and that’s why she knew to come to you 8 years ago xx your memories of her will help you heal and blondie will help you for sure xxx take care and loved the crafts this week , amazing xxxx
I am sorry for your loss. I heard Lorna Byrne said that if you love an animal very much, God will take him/her in to heaven and there you will meet it again. Every video you make about your life is good. Don`t ever feel like you have to apologize. You and your videos are amazing. It is just life and we are all living it. :)
Awwww Catherine. Love and hugs to you my friend. Losing a 4 legged family member is hard. I remember all the visits she made to your home before she became yours. You were her person. I am sure she is reigning supreme in heaven with all the other cats. I love the blanket. Cuddle with it all week if it brings you comfort. The flower press was really cool. We used to dry/press flowers in books. It took forever. Lol. ❤🤗
I tear 🥺too. Makes me think our beloved pet dog passed on more than 20 years ago. Nice art 🌺🌸🌹🌼👍😘. Fully utilized your full bloom from your garden. Nice wool blanket, keep you cosy😃
I couldn’t think of anything better than passing away being held in the arms of a loved one. You gave her that Catherine 🥰 I’m sorry she’s passed, she’ll never be forgotten, always missed and forever loved 🥰 I’m thinking of you & Blondie at this time and sending you my prayers & love to you both🥰 ✝️
So so sorry to hear of Pepsi's passing hun. She was surrounded with love and had the best kitty momma. You're so right when you say that we always tell ourselves we'll never get another pet when one passes, but we end up doing so anyway. I think some people have the souls to give so much love to our furbabies that we are drawn to each other over and over. Its the best type of symbiotic relationship, animals give so much and ask for very little in return and devoted pet owners like yourself make sure they are safe and loved. I love the thought you gave the previous owners, you're such a kind soul. When my cat, Magick, 'adopted' a neighbour (to this day I can't figure out why she left) I wish they had done what you did for yours when Magick passed. Words can't comfort you I know hun, but Pepsi was adored and loved and had a wonderful time on this Earth. Take care of yourself, much love. xx p.s. your blanket is amazing - perfect for snuggling! :)
Oh...sweet girl, I am so so sorry about Pepsi. Such a bitter sweet and difficult thing in losing a pet family member. Like you said, "This is what happens when you fall in love with pets." So very true!!!! All of these special little animals that come into our lives...You gave her a wonderful home to come and go as she pleased. It's still so hard...sweet little sassy girl!
Oh my goodness I have been crying along with you watching your video. I'm so sad to hear Pepsi has passed away . Good you were with her at the end and she felt your love. Thank you for letting us know. Xx
Pets are a gift. We found a abandoned raccoon about 8weeks old and we were heart broken. Luckily there is a Raccoon sanctuary in Saskatchewan Canada and they took her right away. It was so cute she was eating eggs and hanging out with other Raccoons her age and she looked so happy. I am so grateful for the people running these sanctuaries they are giving and lovely people. I hope your heart heals quickly.
Oh, we all know where Pepsi is tearing it upstairs giving all those angels and Peter trying to stop her at the gate a good swipe and flip her tail and walks right through and show em how it's done! You, my lovy can blubber all you want, it's never easy to lose a fur baby, your's or not! A lovely big hug for you and a shoulder to bubble on! May Pepsi always swipe in peace!
Please don't apologize for crying over Pepsi. She was a much loved and important part of your life. Thank you for giving her such a wonderful life and to be there for her at the end. Big hugs from Michigan, USA. 💔🐈⬛🌈🙏
Never apologize for having a loving heart for your fur babies. I cried my eyes out when I had to put my beautiful girl (Border Collie) to sleep....she now resides with other cremated family members of our vets patrons.....a beautiful rainbow bridge that her sister will one day be on too! ~ Blessings
Awwww Pepsi I've heard That Rainbow Bridge is an amazing place!.. Run free little one We will always Love & Miss you & we will all certainly keep you forever in our Hearts...sending you Catherine& blondie & Pepsi's other wonderful families lots of Healing Hugs between you all You gave Pepsi an amazing life Thank you all for just being you. 💕 xxxx
I wish I could make you a cup of tea and give you a big hug. That's the Mummy in me coming out. Pepsi chose an amazing cat Mum and she also chose how and when to pass. Although it may not seem like it but she chose to go in your arms, feeling very loved. I run a sanctuary in Australia and 99% of the animals that I get are very very sick. When they recover and live a happy life it's such a beautiful feeling, but when they don't make it, and this happens a lot, inspite of all my efforts it's absolutely heart shattering. It never gets easier. I hope another little companion in need finds you and gets all the love you have to give. Sending you and Blondie all my love and healing energy 🙏💖✨ xx
OMG, you weren’t kidding about the tissues. I was driving while listening and had tears rolling down my face. It’s amazing how much we love our four, sometimes three legged friends and what a hole they leave in our hearts when they pass on. I’m sorry for your loss, Pepsi had a great life with so many people to love her. It’s so sweet that you’re splitting her ashes with her original owners. You’re a kind soul it’s no wonder Pepsi was drawn to you 🐈⬛ 💐❤️
So sad we will really miss Pepsi. But just think how lucky she was to live exactly where and with whomever she chose. We were all very lucky to have met her xx
Dear Catherine, the three of you were a special family---so sweet together. It was hard to stop the flow of tears after hearing the news, I know that you and Blondie will miss Pepsi. Pepsi knew what she was doing we she picked you to be her mom, may her spirit watch over you and Blondie, and protect you both. So very sorry for your loss.
Oh Miss Catherine, my heart goes out to you and your great loss!! These beautiful creatures come into our lives and leave such huge paw prints in our hearts when they leave us!! And yes, I would have to agree, we will always cry over them more than we will boys! ;) Many hugs and praying for comfort and peace during this difficult time for you! PS...love your crafting time, amazing blanket and beautiful pressed flower display!

I have two 17 year old cats and I dread losing them. Sorry for your loss. You are so dear Catherine.
So sorry for your loss Catherine. Pepsi was so lucky to have you as her mum, she chose you for a reason. Sending virtual hugs your way x💕x
My husband walked in as I was bawling..."A crafting video is making you cry?" RIP Pepsi. Thank you for touching our hearts. 🐈
I am so sad to hear about Pepsi 😢-I had to have my Emily put to sleep at 18 years old. It is never easy, just be kind to yourself and know you gave her an amazing life. They say grief is the cost of loving someone and it’s so true. Sassy girls rule!!!
Absolutely never easy 💖 have to think of all the good times now and how lucky I was to have her x
Oh, Catherine, I have been crying throughout the whole video! My cat Titos died on the 21st of February this year. He was born in 2005 just like Pepsi! He was just 2 months old when I found him. Every word you said touched my heart! I loved the last thing you said that we can't close our heart to love and that another furry friend will find its way to you. That's exactly what happened to me 15 days ago, although I haven't been over my grieving. I found a starving 6 weeks old kitten in the street and rescued it. Spent a week trying to keep it alive. Thankfully he made it through and now I've fallen in love again. Titos will always be missed and will always have a special place in my heart, the same way Pepsi will always be in yours. Hope you find a new furry friend soon and Blondie gets a new companion. Sending you all my love and support. 😻🐾🐾🐈
Bless you for saving that kitten. You are his guardian angel. I had to have my 20 year old girl,Ivy put to sleep late last year and I still teared up listening to Catherine. She was also a sassy girl. Everything was on her terms but she was still full of affection in her own way.
Oh sweet girl 🥺😢😭 never, ever apologize for crying, for loving your adopted child. I was rescued by my little girl who I was blessed to have for 21 years. I recognized Pepsi’s shift in demeanour before you had mentioned it in video as Solstice went through similar changes. She died in my arms at the vets. (They give you the option to leave your pet or stay with them. I held her) I sang her song to her (You are my Sunshine) and proceeded to cry so hard I threw up several times. That was three years ago this coming Labour Day and I will never stop loving and missing her. I know there aren’t words, so I sit crying with you, and raise a pint to Pepsi. I also love the lessons of Pepsi! Seems our little sassy figured out Swipe Left kitty style! On a side, the blanket looks awesome and I love your dress! 🤗🙏🏽
Oh, Dainty! I’m sending you gentle hugs. We’ll miss seeing Pepsi, but I wish her sunny meadows, now that she’s crossed the rainbow bridge. Our pets hold a special place in our hearts that boys can’t fill. When my little dog Max, passed away in 2012, I was so devastated. A couple of months later, I adopted my furry boy, Captain Mal. He’s my shadow & has brought so much joy. Sending love to you & Blondie 💕❤️🩹

Sending virtual hugs. Animals that grace our lives never live long enough ❤️. Pepsi was well loved and brought you (and us) much joy and giggles.
I literally am ready for 50 more cats 💖 thank you so much xx
She was loved by you Catherine and she trusted you to live in your house. Pets and their people are the special bond that melds us to knowing real love. She was a rare sassy swipy lady. Remember fondly 💝
I’m so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. I completely know how you feel. My husband & I had a boy & girl Yorkie since they were babies. My girl, Pixie, took her last breath in my arms in July 2017. She was just a few days shy of her 13th birthday. I cried for days. My boy Yorkie, Jake, passed in my husband’s lap in July 2019. He was 15 1/2 years old. Once again, I was heartbroken. After that I said no more pets. I can’t go through that again. February 16, 2021 (just 2days after our 15th wedding anniversary), I lost my husband to cancer. I am forever heartbroken. I love watching your videos. It helps me as I’m trying to figure out how to live on my own. Thank you for all you do. I loved your arm knitted blanket & your flower pressing! Much love from 🇺🇸
Please get another kitten!
@Not Specified Thank you for your kind words. ❤️🙏
So sorry, for all your losses:(
Our four footed babies leave lasting footprints in our hearts. She was very loved, the greatest blessing for a little kitty. I love the blanket, so warm and cuddly for your bed or chair. 😘
I’m so sorry to hear about Pepsi’s passing. Take comfort in the fact that you gave her a beautiful home, a safety and care and most importantly lots of love. Im glad decided on the cremation because you can her with you wherever you live. Oh, love the knit blanket. Will definitely try it.
I cried with you. I just recently lost my cat Gruffydd to bone cancer. You have all the videos with her to look back on for years to see how beautiful she was. Never apologize for crying over the loss of a beloved pet. They are like our children. Sending you hugs.
Your so special for involving her other family, just a beautiful soul. Wish i could give you a hug xxx
I'm so sorry Catherine, Pepsi was a very, very lucky girl 💗 It helps that she got to enjoy the garden and pots and get plenty of sun, warmth and bug & flower smells. It's the small things that count. Love to Blondie 💖
I'm pretty sure the blanket is made of wool roving, which is used for felt and needle felting. Sometime people think wool shrinks from heat, but it's just as much any agitation (even just moving it in water with your hands) and any bit of detergent speeds that process up too, HTH If you ever feel like trying a small knitting/felting project, look up "Mouse in the House" on ravelry - it's a great pattern for felted cat toys!
I’m so sorry about Pepsi, but I know she’ll be with you always. Thanks for sharing her in videos with us. You must have many happy memories.❤️🙏🏼
She loved a sassy lil cameo 💖Thanks for all the support xx
Sweetheart I'm so sorry for your loss and never be sorry for crying it's what makes you human after all our pets do leave paw prints on our hearts when they go but they also leave happy memories so take comfort in that. You gave Pepsi a safe,happy and loving home and of all the people she chose you x
I am so sorry! :( It is so hard losing a pet, they are our family. At least you were with her when she crossed the rainbow bridge. Big hugs to you Catherine!
Oh sweetheart, I’m so sorry for your loss, they take a piece of your heart when they go. She was a beautiful girl and you gave her a wonderful life. I lost my Oliver a couple of years back, he was almost 19, I was devastated so I can imagine how you’re feeling. I’m in tears watching this and I’m sending you a big hug. Look after yourself and take care xxx
Oh Catherine so sorry about Pepsi 😢 heartbreak is always the price we pay for loving our dear pets so much , your lovely memories of her will last a lifetime X
I have a cat. I can't imagine living without him. I cry whenever I heard other people's cat died.
Hugs Catherine❤️. Pepsi has always been loved.
I'm so very sorry for Pepsi but so thankful you got to be with her as she crossed the bridge. Take all the time you need... your heart will know when it's time to love a new baby. Remember, when they pass, they take a piece of our heart but when we choose to love again, they give us a piece of their heart. Blessings.
Your chanel is like having a brew with a friend, you are so real, bringing real life and emotions. So sorry for your loss, Pepsi was a character for sure and will not be forgotten 🙏🏽❤
Loads of love Catherine, the sassy lady will be missed but never forgotten... RIP Pepsi the Queen 👑 xx 😘
Oh Catherine… my heart aches for your loss of Pepsi… the creative DIYs today were so pretty and peaceful to watch and I trust that your tears keep you connected to sweet memories 💕
Sincerely, Susan
Those kitties just wrap themselves around your heart, don’t they? I’m sorry for your loss, but always remember how much happiness Pepsi brought with her and how well loved she was.
Yup i was in tears!!! I feel your pain and I’m so sorry for your loss! Those little fur balls certainly steal the heart then break it when they leave us 🙁 But even though it’s hard now, yes, there is always room to love another! The day our last kitty died I SWORE I was NEVER doing this again!!! I can’t go through this AGAIN 😩 an hour after her death and coming home to an empty house i packed up the cat carrier and headed off to adopt two more kitties and I never regretted that! I just keep telling myself, there are so many that need a home and I will give them a good home, love and time and I will sob uncontrollably when they’re gone but I will do it again! 💕
So sorry for your loss! I cried when you got choked up! Our pets become family. I lost my dog of 17 years 3 years ago. I think of him every day! They stay with us always! Sending you and Blondie so much love! And that blanket is gorgeous! I’m going to try making one!! ❤️
I was just thinking last week how cute Pepsi looked in the plant pot. Bless her she picked the right home to live in. I have two black cats 🐈⬛ and they are getting extra hugs. Your crafts turned out great. Xx
Oh sweet Catherine, I’m so sorry for sweet Pepsi’s passing. 😥. I have no doubt she’s in heaven and having a wonderful time scoping out all the best flower pots to rest in! 🪴. I’ve experienced a lot of loss in my recent years and have learned that the depth you love is the depth you grieve. Animals have no expectations of us, they just love us anyway. I think you should plant something black in your garden to remind you of sweet little Pepsi, like black hollyhocks or petunias. They are a nice contrast to pink. And sharing a pint in honor of her life and her sassy personality is completely appropriate! My Irish Nana would agree! 🍻to Pepsi! Much love ❤️! Sending hugs and prayers! And I’m going to order the flower pressing kit! 🌺☘️💞
Sobbing I was sobbing, flipping pets we love them so much it hurts ❤️ love you sweetheart xx
🇨🇦❤️I’m also a cantankerous, (but loving), old girl like Pepsi and I didn’t think I’d cry, but each time your voice broke, the tears started for me.
It’s damnably difficult to say goodbye forever to these exquisitely beautiful creatures.
I know that Blondie will help you through this and give you as much love and attention as it’s possible for a cat to give.
Pepsi will be missed and always remembered through your videos, so to me, it’s a bit like immortality for her.
Also, I loved the crafts in this video so much that I’m considering trying them myself. Your illustration of how to make the blanket is actually much better than any others that I’ve seen because I believe that I’ll be able to follow along. Thank you, dear girl, and much love to you in this sad time.
im so sorry to hear about pepsi, i lost my 14yr old fur baby dog last week, its heart breaking the house feels so empty , sending hugs x
Cats always find you. I remember going to the rescue shelter and one of the cats sat on my lap as if to say "yep, you'll do. Take me home!" So I did 😄 another cat just turned up in our street and adopted our household. It's so sad when they die but we try to make them happy while they're with us +
They only ever hurt you when they die. I think, especially in lockdown, people have learned the importance of pets. She had a wonderful life and you were a massive part of that. Sending you huuuuuge hugs and love ❤️🌈
Catherine, I am so sorry for your loss, but am so glad Pepsi found you. You gave her a great life and she gave you lots of love and cheekiness! Reflect back on the wonderful memories you had together and never apologize for crying. It shows you are human and have great love, empathy, and caring inside you. I look forward to seeing who the next pet to find you will be! RIP sweet Pepsi ❤ Be well, Catherine. 💝
Oh, Catherine, I'm so sorry about you losing Pepsi. Losing our furry friends is heart breaking. Thinking of you! Thank you that you still took the time to make and edit this video for us. I wish I could give you a big hug. Seeing you crying broke my heart.The blanket is lovely.
Oh Catherine.. my darling.... my heart is breaking for you. I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Pepsi. I know how painful it is to lose a pet. I foster cats for a local charity and have done it full time for the past 3 years. As a rule I take the cats that are old and sick, that nobody wants, and I nurse them and love them until their time to pass comes. I am always in bits when I lose a furbaby. At the moment I have my first ever Mum and three weeks ago she gave birth to 3 gorgeous kittens.. so this time I was kitty midwife. I am sending you all my love... from Devon. xxxxxxx
So sorry to hear about Pepsi. Will miss seeing her in your videos. Love the rug you were making.
I am the fortunate blessing of loving a mini panther. Black kitties are my soul mates.
Aww Catherine. I'm so sorry to hear about Pepsi. Bless you. You gave Pepsi a lovely life. Our fur babies are so precious to us. Sending hugs 🤗
There are many pet cemeteries here in the US. They look just like human cemeteries just cuter with all the bits and bobs their owners leave on their graves when they visit. Its so sweet to walk through them and see all sweet little names and pictures on the head stones! ❤️❤️🥰 another kitten will find it’s way to you. I promise. I got a lovely yellow rose bouquet for my birthday in June. ( favorite color) after a week I took it out of the water and tied it with a bow and hung it upside down! It dried perfectly! I sprayed it with my favorite perfume this morning and hung it back up. A few petals fell off. A pressed them out and put them between pages of some heavy old books! I’ll check back in a week. They already feel like fabric. Amazing.
Thank you for letting us know about Pepsi's peaceful passing. Saying the words out loud are so hard. Be kind to you and give Blondie all your love. Sending you a virtual *hug* and much love xxx
I'm so sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing Pepsi in your videos. I know it's heartbreaking, take care of yourself. You're such a kind person, Pepsi chose you for a reason.
Oh Catherine. I have lost so many pets in the last few years so I totally can relate. It’s just the worst. Much love to you, dear. ❤️
Farewell Pepsi! You brought a ton of joy to Catherine, Blondie and all of your subbies. Thank you for that. As a human that has had to say goodbye to two beautiful dogs that left a total of thirty years of memories in my heart, I know you will meet up with all of your humans again some day. Take care of your heart Catherine.
I’m so sorry for your loss Catherine. Pepsi was a little cutie. 😢❤️
Pepsi won the trifecta. A good innings, a happy life and a peaceful end. Be proud that you guys gave her her best life. 💗
So sorry to hear of pepsi's passing Catherine, I had to get my cat put to sleep due to kidney failure a few months back, he was born in 2005 as well and I decided to have him cremated, pets have the ability to cause joy and heartbreak, but the best thing is the memories they leave behind which helps with the loss💔❤️
I can’t stop crying 😭 You gave your fur baby such a lovely life. I will miss seeing Pepsi in videos, but know she had a beautiful long life and was very loved. Thank you for sharing and being so honest and real with your followers. 💕
Biggest of hugs... I turn to soup when I'm grieving too. Grief is displaced love. Worth having the love to start with, but it hurts too. 💔
Animals know good people and you are most definitely good people Catherine! 💖
I’m so sorry for the loss of the lovely Ms Pepsi. Condolences to you, her other family and her many TH-cam and Instagram fans.
Your blanket looks great I’ve been meaning to try craft one myself
Lots of love to you, Catherine! My husband and I have two fur babies, Isabella & Rambo (twin sister and brother ;)) Isabella was kneading on my lap and purring watching you do your flower arrangement & pawing at the screen! It was so cute. We also lost a kitty recently; we named her Bobo and she came to us and decided we were her people. She loved to hang out with us on our front porch. We fed her of course...but one day this past month, she was not coming for dinner anymore. We think she was very old (had gray hairs) and she found somewhere to pass away (she basically lived in the gutter before she started sleeping on our steps). So, I feel the pain too!! It was so sad for me for several days coming home from work not seeing her there on the steps anymore or running up to greet me. She was so cuddly and sweet. Never knew an outdoor cat that was such a snuggler like her, she will be remembered fondly forever! She was a "Pepsi" color as well ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss 😿. I was crying my eyes out when you said Pepsi passed. 😭 I loved her sass and love for sleeping in the garden! The blanket looks beautiful as well. I hope you and Blondie will be well and remember that one day you'll see again her over the rainbow bridge.
Oh, Catherine! I'm so very sorry about Pepsi. She had a grand life and a peaceful passing. It's so hard losing a beloved pet. Lots of love to you, and Blondie, and sending Pepsi loving hugs. Xxxx
My warmest love and just remember...you made Heaven right here on earth for her. Great job on the blanket. Now, I want to make one.
I was crying before the video even started Catherine as soon as I saw your title I knew. Poor Pepsi. You gave her such a happy life and I know losing a pet is such a heart breaking thing. We will miss the sassy little missy. Xxx
Sending you a big comforting hug❤️..she had a happy life!.
Your blanket is great..I'm going to try it myself. Love from 🇨🇦🌼
As an avid follower of your videos I am heartbroken at the news of your loss. Pepsi had a wonderful home with you and a charmed life. Love to you and Blondie and bless you both.
Sending prayers for comfort.
Your flowers and blanket turned out beautiful!
I'm sorry your sassy roommate passed. It seems like she had a full and happy life. Thank you for telling us about her.
So sorry about Pepsi. Loved when you said that’s what happens when a legend passes. So true 💚
Pets are indeed a different kind of love. My childhood cats passed away going on 15 years ago, and I still can't bring myself to get another one. I get my pet fix by pet sitting for friends and family, where I can get my cuddles and snuggles, then I'm able to leave them back into their owner's care. And I still would swear that I see them darting around the house, out of the corner of my eye. 😊
Aww Catherine! I'm so sorry to hear about Pepsi. She was such a lovely little character!! We have three kitties and my big manx boy, Hawkeye, got up in my lap for part of your video. He knows who the feline lovers are! Sending you lots of love and sympathy!!
RIP Pepsi. I feel your pain having been a cat mum for decades. Thanks so much for sharing this difficult news. Brought tears to my eyes remembering my own lost kitties. Your open heart will attract another soul. xxx
Oh, Catherine! I know it’s so hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet! At least you know that Pepsi had a wonderful, loving home and many, many fans throughout the world… hugs to you and kisses to Blondie!!❤️😢😘
She was beyond adored 💖Thanks so much Nancy xx
My heart goes out to you Catherine and may Pepsi RIP. Pepsi was very well loved by you and always a special part of this channel. Our fur souls are always in our hearts and memories. xxx
I'm going through a separation and *THIS* is harder!
aw she had a lot of love from you guys 💖 thanks sweetie xx
So sorry to hear about your beautiful little girl 💕 you have a gorgeous spirit and that’s why she knew to come to you 8 years ago xx your memories of her will help you heal and blondie will help you for sure xxx take care and loved the crafts this week , amazing xxxx
I am sorry for your loss. I heard Lorna Byrne said that if you love an animal very much, God will take him/her in to heaven and there you will meet it again. Every video you make about your life is good. Don`t ever feel like you have to apologize. You and your videos are amazing. It is just life and we are all living it. :)
Awwww Catherine. Love and hugs to you my friend. Losing a 4 legged family member is hard. I remember all the visits she made to your home before she became yours. You were her person. I am sure she is reigning supreme in heaven with all the other cats.
I love the blanket. Cuddle with it all week if it brings you comfort.
The flower press was really cool. We used to dry/press flowers in books. It took forever. Lol.
❤🤗
I tear 🥺too.
Makes me think our beloved pet dog passed on more than 20 years ago.
Nice art 🌺🌸🌹🌼👍😘.
Fully utilized your full bloom from your garden.
Nice wool blanket, keep you cosy😃
Bless you, Pepsi came into your life when you needed her and stayed to give you love. RIP Pepsi x
Big hugs. It is a special gift that animals give us to let us love them. Pepsi lived her best life being loved by you xxx
I couldn’t think of anything better than passing away being held in the arms of a loved one. You gave her that Catherine 🥰 I’m sorry she’s passed, she’ll never be forgotten, always missed and forever loved 🥰 I’m thinking of you & Blondie at this time and sending you my prayers & love to you both🥰 ✝️
So so sorry to hear of Pepsi's passing hun. She was surrounded with love and had the best kitty momma. You're so right when you say that we always tell ourselves we'll never get another pet when one passes, but we end up doing so anyway. I think some people have the souls to give so much love to our furbabies that we are drawn to each other over and over. Its the best type of symbiotic relationship, animals give so much and ask for very little in return and devoted pet owners like yourself make sure they are safe and loved.
I love the thought you gave the previous owners, you're such a kind soul. When my cat, Magick, 'adopted' a neighbour (to this day I can't figure out why she left) I wish they had done what you did for yours when Magick passed. Words can't comfort you I know hun, but Pepsi was adored and loved and had a wonderful time on this Earth. Take care of yourself, much love. xx
p.s. your blanket is amazing - perfect for snuggling! :)
You just haven’t found the right boy to cry over. 👍 So sorry you lost Pepsi, but she’s in pet heaven sunning in the olive plant pots there. 🥰
Oh...sweet girl, I am so so sorry about Pepsi. Such a bitter sweet and difficult thing in losing a pet family member. Like you said, "This is what happens when you fall in love with pets." So very true!!!! All of these special little animals that come into our lives...You gave her a wonderful home to come and go as she pleased. It's still so hard...sweet little sassy girl!
So sorry to hear about Pepsi. Take comfort in the good times and the fact you gave her a great life full of love. ❤️
Oh my goodness I have been crying along with you watching your video. I'm so sad to hear Pepsi has passed away . Good you were with her at the end and she felt your love. Thank you for letting us know. Xx
Pets are a gift. We found a abandoned raccoon about 8weeks old and we were heart broken. Luckily there is a Raccoon sanctuary in Saskatchewan Canada and they took her right away. It was so cute she was eating eggs and hanging out with other Raccoons her age and she looked so happy. I am so grateful for the people running these sanctuaries they are giving and lovely people. I hope your heart heals quickly.
Oh, we all know where Pepsi is tearing it upstairs giving all those angels and Peter trying to stop her at the gate a good swipe and flip her tail and walks right through and show em how it's done! You, my lovy can blubber all you want, it's never easy to lose a fur baby, your's or not! A lovely big hug for you and a shoulder to bubble on! May Pepsi always swipe in peace!
Please don't apologize for crying over Pepsi. She was a much loved and important part of your life. Thank you for giving her such a wonderful life and to be there for her at the end. Big hugs from Michigan, USA. 💔🐈⬛🌈🙏
Never apologize for having a loving heart for your fur babies. I cried my eyes out when I had to put my beautiful girl (Border Collie) to sleep....she now resides with other cremated family members of our vets patrons.....a beautiful rainbow bridge that her sister will one day be on too! ~ Blessings
Awwww Pepsi I've heard That Rainbow Bridge is an amazing place!.. Run free little one We will always Love & Miss you & we will all certainly keep you forever in our Hearts...sending you Catherine& blondie & Pepsi's other wonderful families lots of Healing Hugs between you all You gave Pepsi an amazing life Thank you all for just being you. 💕 xxxx
I wish I could make you a cup of tea and give you a big hug. That's the Mummy in me coming out. Pepsi chose an amazing cat Mum and she also chose how and when to pass. Although it may not seem like it but she chose to go in your arms, feeling very loved. I run a sanctuary in Australia and 99% of the animals that I get are very very sick. When they recover and live a happy life it's such a beautiful feeling, but when they don't make it, and this happens a lot, inspite of all my efforts it's absolutely heart shattering. It never gets easier. I hope another little companion in need finds you and gets all the love you have to give.
Sending you and Blondie all my love and healing energy 🙏💖✨ xx
OMG, you weren’t kidding about the tissues. I was driving while listening and had tears rolling down my face. It’s amazing how much we love our four, sometimes three legged friends and what a hole they leave in our hearts when they pass on. I’m sorry for your loss, Pepsi had a great life with so many people to love her. It’s so sweet that you’re splitting her ashes with her original owners. You’re a kind soul it’s no wonder Pepsi was drawn to you 🐈⬛ 💐❤️
Awww, so sorry for the loss of Pepsi. She will be missed but never forgotten. 💖🐱💖
Sweet sweet girl....Pepsi was so lucky to have you. You will have the wonderful memories of her forever ❤
So sad we will really miss Pepsi. But just think how lucky she was to live exactly where and with whomever she chose. We were all very lucky to have met her xx
Dear Catherine, the three of you were a special family---so sweet together. It was hard to stop the flow of tears after hearing the news, I know that you and Blondie will miss Pepsi. Pepsi knew what she was doing we she picked you to be her mom, may her spirit watch over you and Blondie, and protect you both. So very sorry for your loss.
Oh Miss Catherine, my heart goes out to you and your great loss!! These beautiful creatures come into our lives and leave such huge paw prints in our hearts when they leave us!! And yes, I would have to agree, we will always cry over them more than we will boys! ;) Many hugs and praying for comfort and peace during this difficult time for you!
PS...love your crafting time, amazing blanket and beautiful pressed flower display!
Awww, so sorry about Pepsi. She passed surrounded by love…no greater gift.❤️
Rest in Peace, Pepsi. Such a well-loved, sassy girl. Bless you, Ms. Dainty.
Catherine, I am so sorry for your loss. You are so sweet with your furry babies. Pepsi is laminating where ever she is..
Dear Catherine, so sorry to hear about Pepsi, we will miss her. Big hug ❤
How lovely that she passed sleeping on your lap on her own terms.. not at the vets.. so peaceful
