He fell and he couldn’t move they said he had a brain tumor. This was my first pet it was so hard for me. I got him cremated. I will get a nose his paw print a nice wood box that says Bob that’s his name and a piece of his hair. He was 13 years ago. He was a stray when we got him.

Sorry you have lost a beloved cat; They do become family so quickly, don't they?

I hope you can get another fairly quickly, which will help a little with your grief.

Cheers, Midori

Hi Cutiey. I had to make the same decision last November and I have never cried so long and so hard. It seemed that I wouldn’t be able to stop. I can smile when I think of him now. But I miss him. I am so sorry you lost a member of the family. I said “lost” but that’s not really accurate because he will always be with you….

I'm so sorry. It's devastating to lose a cherished pet. Take time to mourn. When your heart is ready perhaps a new stray will come into your life. That happened to me. I'm adding a photo. My best friend bought this for me when one of my cats passed away. It's supposed to be for the yard but I keep it inside next to the back door. His favorite place to lay down and watch the outside world. HUGS!!!

Sorry to read of your loss. I think the loss of a pet and their unconditional love for us is one of the hardest experiences as humans. It ultimately makes us stronger but is so hard to go through. My best to you and be kind and loving with yourself and allow yourself to grieve.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Cutiey75 . Losing an animal companion is so hard. It can feel like losing a family member even. I hope you're okay and hope you can care well for yourself during your journey of grief.
