My cat died today and I'm feeling pretty numb from a rough year

@BlueIris thanks blue, yeah guess it’s hard to describe the heartbreak, but I’ll get there day by day, thanks though.

@Catkins thanks Catkins :hugs:

@Carnation :) thank you

@pulisa thanks pulisa, means a lot, I’ll get there :hugs:

@Darksky I’m so sorry to hear about your cat too. Yeah it’s the missing him looking for me at dinner time, little things like that, but hopefully it eases in time. Their family more than sone people at times. Thank you though :hugs:

@Fishmanpa I’m so sorry, I’ve not moved his steps from the bottom of my bed, but I still have other fur babies that are making it easier to heal, but still very raw right now. Im so sorry you’re going through this too, but thank you :hugs:

@WorryRaptor oh that’s terrible, I’m so sorry that happened, that’s not something anyone should go through. Thank you though, yeah, just very numb, not done much but daily routines, but I’ll get there in time. :hugs:

I'm so sorry to hear this Mischa :hugs: It is entirely natural that you will grieve. Pets are family members, companions, best friends. People who have never had pets don't really 'get it'. But grief upon losing a loved pet is very raw. Our black lab was subdued yesterday and appeared to be hobbling. She didn't want her dinner but today she's picked up so must have been muscular. She's an elderly dog now so its a worry and all sorts of things went through my head.

Be kind to yourself and know you're not alone.

@Fishman65 thank you, yeah theirs a lot of people around that really don’t get what they mean to you, or how they impact your life. My elderly dog is a collie, she is 15 and she suffer with arthritis, she hobbles a lot, but sometimes she hops on the bed as if she had no pain, their very in the moment creatures lol! I worry about my elderly dogs daily, and I worry about so many other animals that are not mine too. But yeah, my cat was such a calm, relaxed cat, nothing phased him, really resilient and just loved his bed and waiting for his snacks. It’s most likely the overwhelming feeling of losing not just him but my dog and other cat in the space of 12 months. Thank you though, it does mean a lot :hugs:

So sorry about the death of your cat Mischa . Sending:hugs::hugs::hugs:x
