My cat died this morning. I'm really sad. I found his lifeless body laying in the hallway. I knew it was coming (he's been very sick) but it's still not easy. He's been with me for 10 years. I know he's in a better place right now and not feeling pain anymore but it still hurts. I keep looking around my home, seeing if he's laying on the couch, sleeping in the closet...but he's gone.
Thank you all for your kind words. I was supposed to work today but I decided not to. I did just have to leave for a minute and when I came back home, I burst into tears again. I was half expecting him to be there. I know he is in a better place and hopefully we'll all meet again. I just miss him.
That really sucks to lose a pet. I've had to go through that several times in my life & it's REALLY tough. It's just as hard for me as losing a loved one because I become so attached to them...like they're my kids or something. My condolances...
I'm so sorry I couldn't imagine ever loosing my cat (although one day it will happnen) so my heart really goes out to you.
I really appreciate everyone here. I know I'm not the only pet owner and certainly not the first one to lose a dear part of the family but I didn't realize how sad I'd be. I lost my first cat years before I got Finster and I was sad but she ran away first and somehow that was easier. I know that sounds fucked up but I've had this little guy for 10 years and I've held him everyday while he was sick. He was so sick that I knew this day would come but walking into the hall and seeing his lifeless body there....I was smelling the place on the couch where he was sleeping just yesterday, I had to throw out his little kitty bed because I couldn't bare to look at it anymore. I'm crying so much today and yet I can't help but talk about it. Thanks for listening everybody.
awes hun *hugs* I know exactly what you mean my cat that I got when I was younger is getting ill, Im scared I never let him out of my site he's 16! I got him when I was 2.....I dont think anyone is ever used to losing a pet their our loved ones.. when I lose a pet I dont think of it as losing them their just with me in spirit now instead, and I know their always in my heart I still talk to my pets that have passed...sometimes I even find my first dogs toy on my bed, its usually hidden and none of the dogs can get in my room... so its like she's sending me messages..
This is very sweet. Thank you. I've been coming to terms with death as a continuing part of life....we just can't see those that have passed on. But I've learned long ago that just because you don't see something doesn't mean it's not there. I like what you said about your dog sending you messages. I keep hoping I'll get something like that from Finster. Thank you all for your support.
