Does this seem cold hearted?

I found out my cat had died and she had been dead since this summer. I never knew about it because no one had never told me but when I think about it, I think my mother did tell me but I forgot all about it because it was tragic.

I couldn't stop thinking about her passing away at work because my dad had told me during my break. I called him and asked how my cat is doing and he said "Oh she died."

That evening I call him back to ask when did she die hoping he asked my mother because I wanted to know the date and she said it was around the time my brother was in a car accident, so that be around July 14th she died. He said "It's just a cat," when I said I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Just a cat? Just a cat? That sounds so cold hearted and insensitive. I was offended by that remark. But then I felt better when he said he will buy me a new cat as a welcome warming gift when they get me a house. I told him I wanted a Calico.

If someone's pet died, I would never tell them "It's just a (insert animal here)."

Damn why do people need to be so insensitive when a pet dies.

When my boyfriend had to have his Rottweiler put to sleep, his parents didn't tell him "It was just a dog" because they knew how much she meant to him.
