My cat has died and it hurts very much

[howandwhy99]

My condolences on you lost.

Family dogs of ours had died when I was young, but now I am the sole caretaker for my cat. She will be 17 next month. Fortunately she has been healthy. It will take some time for me once she's gone.

I'm sorry to hear it, my friend. Owning ten pets myself, and quite a few before now, I understand how tough it is to let one go.

My sympathies.

 

[Umbran]

Aw, man. You've got my sympathies.

 

[DungeonMaster]

Just keep thinking you gave him a good life.
Perhaps a better life than some humans.
When my rabbits died that thought kept me going rather than sinking.
It's going to hurt for a long time because it means you really did care, and it also means he did too.
That exact moment will not come again, it was unique and it's uniqueness gives it greater meaning and importance.

Consider visiting an animal shelter when you feel up to it. Many animals have lived awful lives and are looking for the same sort of love and home you gave to your cat.

Good luck to you, I think you'll make it through.

My condolences, man. That really, truly, sucks.

Much love to you!

As a fanatical cat person myself, and someone who has outlived their best childhood friend, I know how you feel.

You have my deepest sympathies.

Darkness,

my condolences to you and your mother.

 

[Uzumaki]

Aww, I'm so sorry. I'd have to disagree with Algolei and say that all cats are better than most people, and it's just as hard losing one of them as it is a best friend you've had for years. I know the day will come when I have to look at my future without their companionship, but I'll be sure to cherish every instant until then.

First of all, I am sorry for your loss, Darkness

When I lost my last cat, Yang, to feline lukemia, a friend gave me a lovely album called A Cat Shaped Hole In My Heart:

This is a collection of songs about cats, in honour of cats, in frustration over cats, and with love to cats.

If you have a chance any time, you might find it eases the loss.

Pax tecum.

I'm so very sorry, my friend.
