Lost my best friend

Hi everyone,

I’m feeling pretty sad because we had to put our cat down yesterday. She was 17, we got her two years ago from my sister’s friend ´s mom who was elderly.

She was a very cuddly, loving cat and we will miss her.

We also lost our rabbit in March so two big loses. My fiancé up and left a couple weeks ago too.

I want some good things to happen!!

Sorry for your loss. I know how much that hurts to lose a constant companion like that.

Oh no! It is a true struggle to know when we have pets, we will probably outlive them. But I am sure your cat was spoiled and pampered and loved her best kitty life with you.

It’s okay to grieve these losses btw. Some people discount grieving for “just an animal” but I suppose this are people who have never had a strong bond with one. If it helps, you can post pictures or tell us a bit about her 💜

Oh man I am so sorry. You are having a rough go of it. I know when thing after thing after thing happen....and they are all bad....it is really hard to make sense of anything. I wish actual hugs were able to be sent. Pets are so important because they are so unconditional. hopefully you can take it one day at a time.

So sorry for your loss, it's the truly crappy part of life that our fur kids don't live longer and it hurts like hell having to let them go. Nothing is better than the unconditional love we receive from them. Be kind and compassionate with yourself and allow yourself to grieve as long as you need.

Condolences to you...there is nothing sadder than losing a beloved family member, whether they have 2 legs, 4 legs, fins or feathers. Hoping that time and warm memories heal some of the pain for you...

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a pet. It helped me to put together a memory box. Time will heal.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. As you can see by my username, I am a big fan of cats! I also have a 17 year old cat - oldest cat I've ever had - and he has some health problems, so I know it could be anytime. It's so hard when we lose our fur babies! Sending you lots of hugs.
