Loss of cat

Post Reply New Topic

My cat passed away yesterday. I don't want to tell anyone because I don't want to hear that it was just a cat. She was my family and one of very few beings in the world who would so completely bond with me. I'm trying to remember all the joy she brought and not what she went through yesterday, but I'm not there yet. The only loss I've ever taken this hard before was my mom.

I'm sorry =(

Cats are wonderful, we've lost a few. My buddy is getting on in his old age...we almost lost him once, I dread the inevitable.

i'm sorry for your loss i lost a cat almost two years ago, i feel so sad because i had him almost all my life, i couldn't know how it was without him.

Sorry to hear that. I lost one as well a few weeks ago, and his buddy misses him as well.

Whenever I lost a cat I would be heart broken. I love cats so much.
Look on the bright side. You could always get a new kitty. A new best friend!

Losing a kitty is tough. I love my kitties with all of my heart. Kitties are family. They are the best companions around.

Oh, I'm so, so sorry Big dragon hugs. There's no such thing as it being "just" a cat, or "just" any other pet. Pets are supposed to be companions, part of the family, etc, not "less than" in any way - anyone who doesn't think losing one is a big deal has clearly never properly (if at all) had one. It's a darn good thing that my leopard gecko died on a Saturday when I was in college, because for the rest of that day and all of Sunday, I was pretty much incapable of doing anything but crying - she'd been my only companion for all of college, the one thing that was constant, the one who I could share my life with and would never judge me, and losing her was devastating. I still can't even look at the baby leopard geckos in pet stores without tears coming to my eyes. So I completely understand how you're feeling right now. While you may never stop missing your kitty, there will come a time sooner or later when you can remember the good times you had with her and smile. Sending you more big dragon hugs, and please, don't feel embarrassed or ashamed to take as long as you need to grieve

Cats are family and their deaths hit me hard.
We lost our oldest 6 months ago.
I just got a kitten week ago and love him so much and worry a lot.

Hugs sorry for you lost loved one

I'm so sorry about your kitty. My cats are almost like my children, I love them very much. Eventually you will fall in love with another cat. When you're ready.

I am sorry about your loss of your dear cat! I can also understand that you would want to avoid someone trivializing your grief and rather take care of yourself instead through tough times.

Everything happens for a reason and fact,animals are only here for a brief blip compared to human years.

Ultimately there brief stay with 'us',is unconditional and more 'love' than a human experience without conditions or expectations will ever experience.

The 'experience',is for a reason.

You'll meet again,smile and be grateful that you found each other in this life.

Don't grieve,be blessed that you met.: )

I hope that in the fullness of time, you will meet again across the rainbow bridge.

My cats are like my platonic soulmates. I take it very hard when they pass. Allow yourself to move through the grief process at your own pace. It will take time.

I have been through that loss many times, and it hurts every time. Thinking of you today.

My condolences on the loss of your cat. It can take a long time to heal. Pets hold a strong pull on our hearts and it can be quite hard when they pass on. I still think often of the loss of one of my mother's dogs (he died 2 1/2 years ago from congestive heart failure).

Thank you all for your kind words!
