my cat died today?!?!?

Question

my cat died today?!?!?

Answer 1

Yes. When you go to bed tonight call your cat to lie on the bed with you. You'll feel it there with you. When you are in the kitchen and making dinner you will turn because you thought you felt the cat brush against your legs but there is nothing there - well you did feel it.

Your cat has only left a body that wasnt working anymore.

The spirit and essence of your cat will be around you still.

It is absolutely horrid losing a loved pet isnt it? But you have only lost him physically - spiritually he's still there with you.

Time makes it easier but you may never stop misisng him. But for all that - he's just there and free from pain now.

Answer 2

Im so sorry - it's terrible isn't it. It's such a shock and you keep on going over everything. It will be difficult for a while but then slowly each day will be a bit better. You did what every good owner should do. Take care.

Answer 3

I'm, really sorry for you the best thing is to remember the good times u ad together. it was the best thing to do cause you wouldn't want to be in any more pain Dan Wat it was already in

Answer 4

it is really hard when you lose a pet, as they feel like a part of the family!

me and my family went on holiday and because we live in the countryside our neighbour used to feed our cat. we did this for years until one year we came home and she had been run over.

I was also devastated for quite a while. it is a shock!

Atleast you can think to yourself that maybe it is for the best - atleast it no longer has to suffer.

it will get better with time. we got a new cat a year later hes great!

Answer 5

Oh, honey, I am so sorry for your loss. You lost a good friend and it is hard. You have to let yourself grieve. No one can speed that process up. It is hard to lose a companion animal because they give us so much loyalty and love, but society doesn't see them the same as humans. So it hurts as much as if you lost a family member, but society doesn't really expect us to grieve that way. But let yourself. Know that all of us who love our animals friends go through it. Be proud that you were there in the end. I have worked in the animal welfare field for so long, and I have seen how many of our unwanted friends are euthanized in shelters. You can be proud you gave your cat a good, permanent home.



It might help if you donate your time or money to helping other animals in need. It will make you feel good to do this as a tribute to your friend. When you are ready, you can adopt another cat (or two) from a shelter and know that you are providing a good home to those that need it.



I feel like crying with you because I know how hard it is! Take care of yourself and be patient with your grief. It will come and go . ..

Answer 6

First of all, I am SO sorry. It is TERRIBLE losing a close friend.

When I lost one of my dogs, I taped pictures of him around my house...they allowed me to remember him but every time that I felt a little better, I took one down and put it in a photo album. Soon, all of the pictures were down and I was able to move on.



Feel better.

Answer 7

I know what you're going through. Our family cat died 6 months ago aged 18 1/2. It would have been her 19th birthday 2 days ago. She had kidney problems not long before she died and things weren't looking great so I knew the end was near but it was still hard to deal with. It was easier for me though as she was living at my mum's and I live miles away from her so I wasn't there at the time which helped. I think had I been at the vet's with her when she was put down and been in the house afterwards seeing all her things like her toys and blankets it would have been harder. I got her ashes a few weeks ago when I visited my mum and they are now on my bookcase. I take comfort in the fact that she was pampered and well loved for almost 19 years and that she was a very happy cat. The end was fairly peaceful (preferable to a lot of cats' deaths such as being hit by a car for example - which was always a huge fear for me) and she is no longer in any pain or discomfort. I still miss her but I'm thankful she was our pet and that we were able to give her such a nice life. Maybe you can take comfort knowing you gave your cat a nice life and cared for him right until the end.

Answer 8

I'm so sorry for your baby. I would go out of my mine if my cat's dead too but, he is up there with god and not in pain anymore. You will be OK god will all so take care of you .

Answer 9

Oh, dear, I am SO sorry for your loss.



I went through this a while ago.



You will feel extremely upset for many days to come.



After about two weeks, you will feel a little less distraught.



Try and remember him in happy times. I am sure you were the perfect 'mum' to him.



You did the absolute right thing in letting him go. He is in a better place and no longer in any pain.



My thoughts are with you.



Take care xx

Answer 10

Hi - There are a lot of us who can relate to your pain due to the loss of our very special friends. I, too, lost my "baby" a very long time ago, and I still miss him, even though I was able to get another "baby" when the time was right. It is very natural to grieve, so you need to give yourself time. Here's something very special to hopefully help you in your time of grief:



http://www.indigo.org/rainbowbridge_ver2.html



I just watched it and am sitting here with tears in my eyes. I choose to believe that it's true.



God Bless. Just remember that you were a special mom to your "baby" and I know that he appreciated all that you did for him during his time with you here on earth. That love will stay with you forever.

Answer 11

Cat Died

Answer 12

My Cat Died Today

Answer 13

I am so sorry to hear about your cat, but you did the right thing. You knew it was time to let him go, and you were right to put him out of his misery before it got unbearable. Don't feel guilty, feel GLAD that he's no longer in pain. He will always be with you, no matter what you think, because his body is merely gone, and anyway the spirit part, the part that makes him who he is, is still with you and will always be there for you. You just can't see him. Death is not the end, it's only the beginning of a new adventure! If you still have problems letting go, talk to a friend or talk to the spirit of your cat. Just pretend you can see him and just talk about your day, good times you've had together, keep him up to date until you join him when it's your time to go. But don't do suicide, if you're that far over the edge. Take small steps back. Your special friend is irreplacable, but finding another cat in need and taking care of it may take help take your mind off your old cat.



Feel better, friend. Mend your heart.

Answer 14

I'm so sorry that you lost your cat. I lost one of my cats a year and a half ago. It doesn't seem like it has been that long...but it has. My cats name was Pumpkin. II got her when I was going through a divorce. She was my first cat. I always viewed her as a gift from God. I spent lots of money to try and find out what was wrong with her...more than I could afford. Six months later they had a recall on her food...the food that she was eatting at the time of her illness. It is tough to lose one that you love. Even though I have lots of other pets, I still miss her. I find that as time goes on I don't think of her everyday like I used to...so time helps. I have pictures of her and remember the good times we had. You may find it morbid...but once I got the remains of Pumpkin I felt better. I don't know why...but I did. If your cat was your only cat...you might consider getting another pet. This helps fill your time. Of course...it will never replace your lost love one, but having something to nurture can take up time and energy and let you focus on happier things. Some individuals can't contemplate a new family member so soon...so it is personal choice. I had other pets to cry into and nurture so it was easier. I have such empathy for you. I hope that some of this helps...Jen

Answer 15

I'm sorry for your loss. One of the things that makes it harder when we lose a pet, is that there is not a lot of understanding and support in society for grieving for pets. If you were crying in public, and someone asked you why, they might be all too likely to respond, "Geez, it's been months, why don't you get a new cat and get over it." But if it were a human family member who had died, even a stranger would say, "That's so hard, of course you are not over it yet. Cry all you want, just let it out." So we tend to hide our pain in public, and even around friends and family.



Here is a website that I found very helpful: http://www.petloss.com - they have the Rainbow Bridge story, and other inspirational readings there. They also have support forums and chat. In chat they do the "Monday Night Candle Ceremony" which is a beautiful memorial service, that might do you a world of good to participate in. Even if you can't make it to the chat room when they are holding it, the text of it is online so that you can read through it and light the candles by yourself if you choose to. They also have a list of books and articles that might help you, as well.

Answer 16

The best advice I can give you is to grieve for as long as you need it's better to let your feelings out than it is to bottle them up. This idea might sound stupid but I hope it helps, try writing a letter to your cat and tell them how important they were to you and how much fun you had together. If that doesn't work you could try some other form of expressing your grief. Give it time. I'd wait several months to get a new cat until you are sure that you can handle loving another cat without feeling disloyal or anything. It will probably hurt for a very long time; I lost my cat five years ago and it still hurts.

Answer 17

I know EXACTLY how you feel and I am SO SORRY!!! I had a cat a few years back who contracted FIP (feline intestinal paratenitus) and for DAYS she wouldnt eat. Then we came home from work one day and she was laying in a pool of "water" b/c she was salivating so much. On our way to the vet she had 3 grand maul seizures and we had to put her to sleep. It was one of the most DEVESTATING things I ever had to go through (until my grandma died of cancer... obviously WORSE!).



All I can say is that time will help but you will NEVER forget the love you received (and gave) to your kitty! Just know that you gave her a good life, she was loved and YOU were WITH her in her final moments! :( She is also no longer in pain.



I know all of that is probably repetitive and NOTHING that I say will make you feel any better.. but my heart and my prayers go out to you! Its SO hard and breaks the heart more then people who DONT have pets would EVER know!!



Take care and maybe take something like a tylenol pm tonight so that you can sleep. Otherwise you will just stay up all night crying w/ your heart aching!! :(



Keep your head up and try to keep your spirits high. Again, remember that you gave her a GOOD life and she knew she was loved. Thats all you really can do!



~Kat

Answer 18

hopefully by having a goodbye service you will find some kind of closure. A pet is a best friend, and can not bereplaced. Know that you gave the cat a great life, you shared and grew together. To be cheesy I will quote "It is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all"



I have a 14 or 15yr old cat and a 10 year old dog. I think about how hard it is going to be to lose a pet that as been in my life that long,but then I remember that I have given them a wonderful life and they have given me great comfort and never judged me. Loved me no matter what the rest of the world has felt for me. Sometimes when I was depressed we even shared ice cream.

Answer 19

I'm very sorry to hear that but you did the right thing and at least your cat isn't in pain anymore. I lost a cat a couple years ago and I know how it is, I was out of it for a week. You greive for a cat like you do the loss of a family member because that is what they are. It sucks! Go to the book store and look for a book called Greiving the Loss of Your Pet (or something like that) anyways i read a book about it and it helped me a lot. I almost got an idential looking cat to try to replace the one I lost but thank God someone stopped me. It takes time to get over it. For now just try to go out and continue life as normal because if you shut yourself in your house you will become more and more depressed.

Answer 20

All I can do is reassure you that your cat is no longer suffering and he is a happy place right now. I believe that if humans go to Heaven so do our pets! God loves his animals just as much, right? I'm sure he had a great life and you were wonderful companions for each other. Death is just a fact of life. I understand how you feel. After owning many cats of dogs for my 35 years, I have lost a lot of wonderful pets so I understand your grief! I most recently lost my cat, Kitty who was such a joy! He lived to the ripe age of 19! I suggest finding a pet memorial site and putting some pictures of him along with some favorite memories! It'll make you feel better. Have you buried him yet? Have a service or cremate him and get a pet urn with a spot for his picture on it. It's not silly. I think of my pets as family members! When you are ready, go to your local animal shelter and find another kitten or cat so you can continue to enjoy the wonderful companionship that pets provide. Grieving is normal and a GOOD thing believe it or not! There are many books out there to deal with the loss of a loved one (including pets!), check them out! I'm very sorry for your loss! Just remember all the good things about him and how much joy he brought you and that someday, you WILL SEE HIM AGAIN! I am scared of dying oneday but I will be happy to see my Grandma and all the great pets that I had along with the other family members, friends,and pets that I will lose in the future! I hope you feel better soon! You did the right thing by easing his suffering and taking him to the vet! Do that memorial thing I said even if it's just an old-fashioned photo album or scrapbook with pictures and memories of him and maybe even other past pets you may have lost... Take care... My thoughts are with you...

Answer 21

I don't think anyone understands how devastating it is to lose a pet unless they have lost one themselves.



I've lost two pets to cancer - my beloved dog of 11 years and my 4- year old cat. And I've had a tough year with our livestock. It is heartbreaking.



When I lost my dog to cancer, my aunt (who lives in another state and is a somewhat crazy cat lady) sent a donation to the animal shelter in my town. I didn't know anything about it until I received a beautiful card in the mail from the shelter thanking me for a gift in my dog Sasha's memory. I thought that was the most thoughtful and caring way to remember her.



My aunt's gesture also started a tradition among my family and friends. Anytime someone loses a pet, a donation is made to the nearest shelter in the animal's memory. I felt so much better knowing something good was coming out of such a sad experience. Maybe consider making a donation in your cat's memory.



I really feel for what you're going through, and I know it seems impossible to deal with now. We never really get over losing our beloved pets, we just make ourselves learn how to go on living our lives without them in it.



Hang in there...

Answer 22

So sorry for your loss. It never gets easier. I have lost 2 dogs a bird and cat in the last 2 years. I still cry over them from time to time. I found it very helpful to make a scrapbook and to also put pics of them around me. have you ever read the poem The Rainbow Bridge? If not read it. It will give you peace and hope. Im sure you gave your cat a wonderful life and you let her/him die with dignity. It is our responsibiltiy to make their life good but to also protect them from suffering and pain which you have done. many people keep their pets around for them instead of doing what needs to be done for the pet. You did what you had to do as a responsible good pet owner and lover and I am sure your cat thanks you. When you are ready get yourself a new cat that needs a home. Remember your cat is not there physically but always will be in your heart. Think of all the good things.

Answer 23

So very sorry to hear this, Sam. There is a really decent group to help you deal with the devastation somewhat at www.Petloss.com. They have a forum for ppl who are facing the death of their companions currently as well as those in grief like yourself. Did help me, but mostly it was a matter of time. Trust me, you did the right thing by your cat so you should feel no guilt about that, although you probably will for awhile. Allow yourself ample mourning time before you get another pet and when you are ready, the right one will come into your life. God Bless you, my friend, I have no real answer for you, just the sorowful empathy between cat people.

Answer 24

I'm sorry for your loss. I know it sounds silly, but I imagine my deceased cats as kitty angles flying around heaven looking down on me. After you have properly grieved, go to a shelter and find another kitten. Every homeless cat has the potential to become the perfect cat. I wish I could tell you why she passed but there is not really any way to know. Just thank God that you found her so you won't spend years wondering where she is. Sorry CMV was so abusive too. Don't take it personally - she is mean to everyone. Messed-up people find it easy to be abusive online because of the anonymity.

Answer 25

Dear Friend,

You need to understand your cat is much happier where he is right now. From my understanding, all cats go to a place where all that glitters is gold. You couldn't stop him from leaving you, but that's just the way it goes. Depending on which day it is of the week, put flowers on his grave on it everyday and then you'll feel much better (i.e. if he died on a wednesday, put flowers every wednesday) It helps if you put some of his toys by his grave too. Even though time moves on, those memories will last forever. Love is all you need right now. Go and have some fun and soon you'll forget about it.

Answer 26

I am so sorry to hear about your cat ! losing your pet is like losing a family member! A few years a go we had to out down our 15 year old cat. Tiger was diagnosed with thyroid cancer we spent 2thousand dollars for surgery (which I would do again in a heartbeat) we were told he had a good 3 to 10 years left after that.well a year later Tiger got sick again after spending another 5oo dollars there was nothing left anyone could do for him Letting him go was one of the hardest things ive ever had to accept! All you can do is accept your grief and remember your cat and how much you loved him. In the bible it says in the end man will li downe with beast ! You will see your cat again! Take care you will be alright ! Ipromise

Answer 27

I'm so sorry for your loss, it is so hard losing a pet. But burying him and going through the grieving process is theraputic, although it doesn't seem that way now. You did the right thing and in time you will feel better and will be happy when you think back to all the good memories.

There is a website called rainbowsbridge and they have a pet loss section where you can go in a chatroom with others who have recently lost pets. Talking with other people who are going through the same thing helped me so much.

Answer 28

OH HONEY,!!!! I am soooo soooo sorry, I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better, The only thing read this this may help, I lost my beloved Ozzy, on July 1st at 6:11pm he had toxoplasmosis, it is a disease of the intestens and he just couldnt get over it, it finally took him, I miss him so much too, I cried and cried all day

, until by friend sent me this poem, and it helped me, maybe it will help you as well



Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.



All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.



You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.



Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....



I know you miss him, try and remember there is no pain anymore and you WILL see him again one day

Answer 29

I had a cat that lived about 8 years, got sick and died. I was sitting with him when he let out his last howl, I will never forget that sound :(..He had a problem with his bowels, wouldn't eat and I was force feeding him. In hindsight, knowing what I know now, I would have taken him to the Vet and had him put down and saved him the suffering. You can do one of 2 things. I know you love your cat, don't get me wrong, so did I. But I though, I can either sit here and mope around about him or go out and get me another cat. Well, it turns out, I bought 2 litter mates, mine are persians, and they are now about 5 years old. I am glad that I went out and got another cat (or two) LOL..you can't ever replace the one you lost but you CAN love a new one! I hope this helps you out..I am sorry you lost your cat, I know the feeling all too well :(

Answer 30

I Am so so sorry Poppet.

The only consolation I am able to offer is that Your Beloved Cat Knew How Much You loved and Cared for Him.

You Will Naturally be Inconsolable,as I have Been when I've lost my Pets through Death.

Try to Think Of The Pleasure your cat gave to you, and you to him.

Think of him as At Peace and out of Suffering.

Remember He Is Forever In Your Heart,so With you he Will Remain, Until The time comes for you to be together again.

God Bless you, as Your Cat has been blessed by you Both!xx

Answer 31

I am terribly sorry for your loss. My beloved cat, Chloe died last year at age 18 from lung cancer. It happened so fast. She was fine and then all of a sudden I noticed changes in her eating and coat. I have had two other cats that passed from spinal cancer and FIV. It's hard and even harder watching them suffer but you will heal in time. Your cat will always be by your side when you feel that light breeze on your face, or a meow coming from somewhere but don't know where. He's there at your side. Look up the poem Rainbow Bridge on the internet it's very healing.

Answer 32

I really sympathize with you hun. I have been in the same situation as you. It's really hard and nothing really ever fills that void that you feel but it does get better in time. Many people will just say get another cat but they don't understand, your cat is irreplacable and a part of your family. Some ppl don't understand that losing a cat that you love dearly is equivalent to losing a close family member for some people. Talking to someone about your cats death and holding a small funeral for him/her will help a lot. I find that remembering the good times I had with my cat and the bond we had makes me smile. At first it will make you cry more but you have to remember the good life you gave your cat. There is nothing that you could do about the cancer but you gave your cat a good life and that's all that matters. Eventually you may be able to bring yourself to have another cat. Obviously it won't replace your other one but it may help, Maybe you can create new memories with a new cat and he can be there to comfort you and snuggle. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to e-mail me k?

Answer 33

I lost a cat as well, and I know what you're going through. all the shock and pain. That feeling of numbness at first, but then it hits you, and its so hard. It's good to cry, so cry your heart out, but always remember, there are people out there who understand, like me for example, and there willing to comfort you. Grieving is hard, and it takes awhile to get over, but I promise, you're pain will subside, and although you may still have the sorrow, you can feel happy that you were able to love your cat for how long you had it. You'll never forget your love you shared. So, we're all right here if you need a shoulder!

Answer 34

So sorry for your loss! I lost my two cats three months apart this year, and still feel the pain that came from having to make that agonizing euthanasia decision on the last day of their lives. I cried for days afterward, and then dug out photos of them that I left out where I could see them often.



I didn't want a new pet, but I did find it helpful to start volunteering at a local cat shelter a month or so later. You can't replace the cat you lost, but it may be helpful to be around cats and know you are helping.

Answer 35

Your cat had the best life it could of - it had an owner that clearly loved and looked after it well, the perfect life for any pet!

I think the worst thing to do is to immediately buy a new pet, i think you should do that in time. The best thing for you is a take up a new hobbie or something that will take up your time and take your mind of the shock. Take up something like swimming or that makes use of your talents, thats fun but will also make you feel good about yourself

im so so sorry about your loss - i know how it feels! its like loosing part of the family xx

Answer 36

I'm sorry to hear about your cat.. I know how you feel Hun because when i lost my cat i was devastated also, cried for days and thought i would never get over it.. I was down for many weeks but in the end there was nothing i could do to bring him back and i had to try and snap out of it.. It will be hard for you for a while but think he is not suffering anymore and you did the right thing...

My husband got me a kitten not long after i lost my cat, and although it didn't replace my lost cat because i will never forget him. it helped me a great deal and the new kitten made me smile again...

You have your memories so hold onto them Hun..

Take Care, remember, give it time...xxxxxxxx

Answer 37

I very sorry you lost your cat. There is nothing that is going to make you feel all better. Time and being thankful for the time you had with the cat will make the pain decrease. Give your self time to grieve for the cat. Maybe it would help you to volunteer with a animal rescue to help other cats until you are ready to have a new one in your life. When our dog of 16 years died working with rescue dogs did help me to stop thinking about how much I missed him and gave me something else to take care of.

Answer 38

I know how you feel. I had to go through the same thing w/ one of my cats. I also had one that got killed by the garage door closing down on her (this was in the days before the sensors)... that was HORRIBLE.



Know she is no longer in pain and that you were with her in her final moments.



Something that helped me was to write about my cat. I am a songwriter, but ANYONE can do the same. I wrote 2 poems about my cat. One about my grief and how much I missed her and asking God WHY (this was about the one who got killed by the garage door). The second poem I wrote was about her life and how much joy and love she brought into it.



She died when I was in high school (over 15 yrs ago) and I STILL miss her. I have new cats but none will EVER replace my beloved "Dots!" (Although right now my cat is actually in LABOR!!) Still to this day, I have the poems in my nightstand drawer and I take them out and read them from time to time... let myself remember, let myself STILL grieve and just keep her "alive" in my heart and my memories.



If you DO write about her, do it while everything is still "fresh!" It really HELPS to get it all "OUT" in the open (even if its just on paper). You can rant and rave. You can question WHY. You can be mad, sad, or even BLESSED that you had the time you did w/ your kitty.



Just a suggestion. My heart breaks for you and my prayers are with you! Take care and God Bless! :(

Answer 39

Hello first of all I'm so sorry for your loss, it can be very tragic, and very sadden, and could easyly go into a deep depression state of mind, here let me type a prayer for you & your dearly departed cat.





You have to stay this time mummy

I now have to be free

Don't be so sad mummy

for now I'm at peace

Let go of your pain, let it take part of you

because from out of these ashes, a new life will bloom

Don't look for me in places I have been

I am in your heart mummy

and inside your soul

..and everything that reminds you of me

see, I'm not really gone

Don't be lost in the dark

or scared when you're alone

My spirit is near you, and my light will shine on



'to be blind and not see her magic and what she's given me

- to sit in the dark alone and not embrace what love I've been shown

now that, would be the tragedy'



_______________________________________________



I have a great website to recomend if you need to talk to others who felt this pain as you did



www.rainbowbridge.com



its a very nice website, the nicest people you could meet.





Take care. And I'm so sorry for your loss.





Sincerly ~

RE:

my cat died today?!?!?

hi, my cat died today after being diagnosed with cancer a month ago. i cannot even explain how devasted i am, i just havent stopped crying all day. i knew it was coming but it didnt make it any easier. when i came downstairs at 8 this morning he was have convulsions and i knew it was time to take...

Answer 41

There is no easy answer, Sam. It's OK to cry for as long as you need to. After all, cats are people, too. I've seen more than one die; and, being a cat-lover, it wasn't easy. Even if your cat's death seems like nothing to someone else (posted above), the fact that it was your cat's death means it is more devastating than another animal's death. I've heard that it is more devastating to lose one's own pet than to hear of someone else losing a friend or relative.



I wish blessings and peace to you. Do what you think is best.

Answer 42

Oh no, that is so sad :-(

I am so sorry to hear that. All you can do is tell yourself that you gave your cat a good life and you didn't make him/her suffer.

I personally think it is good to go through the grieving process for a few days, it is just human and actually makes us stronger, but I do believe that it is good to get a new cat, too. There are so many out there that need homes and you do a good deed for one of them as well as making things easier for you.

Also your other cat would appreciate, that you care, and are giving another kitten a good home.

Good Luck to you :-

Answer 43

I know exactly how you feel, my two babies - Socks and Peaches - were put to sleep a couple of years ago and it was the worst experience of my life. Both were suffering from a disease that was not curable and was causing them a lot of pain.

After crying my heart out for three days, I realized that I had two other cats who needed me and were probably just as confused. That helped, knowing that I couldn't just wallow in my sadness, though I wanted to.

After about a month (I waited so my two cats could settle a little) I went out to get two kittens, and ended up taking home three :) Three babies in the house helps keep you preoccupied, I'll tell you that much!

Answer 44

i put my cat down a year ago, he too had cancer. It was the worst thing in the entire world. 5 days of greiving and being lonely, i went to the rescue shelter and got a new cat whome i love SO much i cant even explain. You need to go out, not in the hopes of replacing your cat, but as in getting a new cat to love. There is a pet out there that needs a loving home and is waiting for you! best wishes

Answer 45

I can't imagine my baby dieing. (He's my baby kitten) He is alot of my life. When I used to have thoughts of suicide he was the only one that kept me from not doing anything. Which I am very lucky to have him.



I suggest buying a scrap book of old pictures with him and you. Or if you have no or little pictures write some of your memories and draw some pictures. After you recover you should think about getting a new animal. This may help you recover in the some ways that you can't heal yourself.

Hope this helps,

A Fellow Cat Lover,

Lily

Answer 46

I am soooooo sorry.

I understand completely.



It would have been easier if you got one before but anyway... it's going to take a while for you to mourn your kitty.



I have a 19 yr old and am terrified every time she won't come to me when I call or if she acts like she doesn't feel well.

You have my complete simpathy...

it will just take time.

There are some homeopatic remedies that might help ... one is emotional emergency by back. There are other remedies by them for grief too but I don't know them off the top of my head.

My simpathy is with you.

Answer 47

I'm very sorry for the loss of your beloved cat. But you have to know in your heart that taking him in to the vet this morning was the best thing that you could have ever done for him - it broke your heart but it was done out of great love. Time will take the pain away...but your should mourn your cat. Soon you'll be able to remember him with a smile rather than tears.. you were both lucky to have each other.



Prayers to you...

Answer 48

i had the best friend of my life. my cat lived to be 21 years old. he was 21 pounds and me and my daughter loved him so much . he had a lump on his side that the vet punchtured to do a biopsy . it was cancer and within 1 week he lost half his body weight. i watched him deterioate and struggle to breath till i had to take him in and hold him while they put him to sleep.i know exactly what you are going through. it helped us a lot to hold his things and look at his pictures and talk about him. the things he used to do the food he liked.how he played etc. a bunch of stories. your hurting now but you have him in your heart and it will get better. to this day when i drive by that vets office i hold back the tears.we had him creamated and put in a silver urn that i keep in my house.

i couldnt , because im older and dont have the energy to start over , but you should get another kitten that you can raise and give your love to

Answer 49

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.



All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.



You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.



Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

May I Go? May I go now?

Do you think the time is right?

May I say good-bye to pain-filled days

and endless lonely nights?



I’ve lived my life and done my best,

an example tried to be.

So can I take that step beyond

and set my spirit free?



I didn’t want to go at first;

I fought with all my might.

But something seems to draw me now

to a warm and loving light.



I want to go. I really do.

It’s difficult to stay.

But I will try as best I can

to live just one more day,



to give you time to care for me

and share your love and fears.

I know you’re sad and so afraid,

because I see your tears.



I’ll not be far, I promise that,

and hope you’ll always know

that my spirit will be close to you,

wherever you may go.



Thank you so for loving me.

You know I love you too.

That’s why it’s hard to say good-bye

and end this life with you.



So hold me now, just one more time

and let me hear you say,

because you care so much for me,

you’ll let me go today.

Answer 51

After my husband died the only reason I had for going home was my little cat. I thought I would just give up on life when he too passed on. One of my co-workers got me a little statue of an angel holding a cat. it helped me know that my cat was being taken care of by someone who loves him as much as I do. Cry, its ok.

Answer 54

I know how bad it feels to loose a beautiful & loving cat. I had a beautiful cat who adopted me & i didnt like cats at that time. But she ingratiated herself, & I eventually adored her. Imagine how I felt when one day I ran over her with my car. We'd been together for 6yrs. I was devistated as you can imagine. I decided after a lot of thought to get another cat. She will never take the place of my 1st one, but She fills the hole that was there. It takes courage to go on after loosing beloved pet. You have done every thing you could have done for him. Only you can decide whether to leave well alone or choose another companion when time right for you. I wish you well & commiserations in your lose. xxxx

Answer 55

yehh, i know how you feel, cats are special. my cat got hit by a car unforgetful night. but think about your cat and the wonderful memories he left you and ur family. think of the good times and also the bad times, you'll get through this. doesnt it suck wen u have to be strong when ur so weak? . life is just a never ending path, there are little bumps and also big bumps. at times it may seem like life isnt worth living, but remember that u live life for the wonderful moments, the bad stuff is just what comes along with it. there is more good than bad in this world, even though at times it may feel like no one understands. its ok. i know how u feel, turn to the ones who love u, they will help.

Answer 57

We had to put our kitty down today. We buried her in our front yard, where we first met. I was so emotional and I started drinking... only to blame my husband for leaving a window open while he was cleaning, she was hit by a car. Now I have a dead cat and a marriage that is failing, he is so upset and asked me to move out. I do not know where to go from here. RIP my baby

Answer 58

you are greiving, feel so bad for you, you will cry, you lost your best friend and on top your own health to worry about, and you were depending on your cat for comfort. can you go to the spca and help there. a little time with other aminals may help perk you up and you need a outlet with what you are facing. handling dogs and cats, just going in and help feeding and brushing them or slowly walking a dog a bit will help you feel better and them also. good luck email anytime you wish

Answer 59

Oh I feel so bad for you I can't never see my pets die. But some advice is you have lots of pictures so frame them and hang them up. Another help full thing that helped me was to get a new cat. I know you are thinking I could never but trust me It helps. ALOT!! Another thing is try to take your mind off of it. It would help if you were to spend time with some friends.

Answer 60

Your animal companion is a member of your family. So, much like the death of a parent, sibling, spouse, or dear friend, the grief over the loss of an animal companion can be overwhelming and even debilitating. Unfortunately, society has been slow to recognize formalized rituals for animal deaths. Companies usually don’t include nonhuman companions in their bereavement-leave policies. Your friends, family, and coworkers may seem indifferent and unsympathetic. With seemingly nowhere to turn for support, animal caretakers sometimes feel ashamed and try to hide their grief. When faced with loss, keeping your feelings to yourself or denying them altogether can be unhealthy. Fortunately, there are ways to cope.

Answer 61

Its okey my neighbore drowned one of my cats, Buddy, it made me so mad and sad, I arested his a*s. Make a nice memorial in your back yard for him or like I did with Buddy on a shelf in your room, I have a big picture frame with Buddy on it and on each side a smaller photo of him, then I put up mini stachues and pretty things and dimonds. I also spoiled his friend Martha, and bought her new friends from the pound, I got Buddy from the pound while I was looking at the cats Buddy followed me, he picked me. Buddy was a brown tabby. Martha was a grey cat a long haired cat. Rosebud her new friend is a grey tabby and Tulip her other friend is a calico. She now also has anouther friend named Grey, he was a stray so was Voo-doo anouther cat I helped anyway sorry now I'm rambling Good luck and RIP to your cat.

EDIT: I also made colashes of Buddy and Martha too because Buddy and Martha where good very good friends I almost lost Martha after Buddy died she stoped eating I finally got her to eat when I got her new friends and yes I spoil Martha because I know Buddy would have wanted me too I spoil my other animals too because Buddy would have wanted me too

Cry yourself to sleep. Tomorrow you will start to realize that you gave your pal a great life and you are crying for yourself. That is okay- you deserve some sympathy. I have done this a couple of times- it's never easy. One thing I do know- there is another kitty waiting for someone like you.

Answer 72

My cat died today too.I made him a nice grave and buried him.The house is so empty,even tho i have 4 other cats.He was the "special" one.Adopted him when he was 11.he'd been in a shelter most of his life.He was adopted out at 6 months,terribly abused,and the woman who ran the shelter took him back.I met him when he was 10,fell in love w/him,but at the time already had 4 cats.Plus,he was ill at the time,having to have his ear 'trimmed' due to the abuse he'd experienced at the hands of the former owners.2 years an 2 weeks ago,I finally brought him home.//He was almost surreal and amazing from the beginning.I couldnt believe that THIS cat,had been living in a SHELTER! He was incredibly smart and well mannered.Friendly,and polite! And he made deep eye contact...Around December,of last year,2015,he started sneezing tiny amounts of blood. Took him tothe vet.They couldnt figure it out.Gave us antibiotics galore,but nothing helped.It would stop for days,but always ca,e back.Finally,I took him to a specialist who found what hey thought was a tumor in his sinus/eye socket bone.I tried steroids and "Roy Simpson "oil..Tears,prayers..10 days ago today,he was diagnosed.We had a good week together.Played w/his peacock feather,shredded it! He ate vanilla ice cream.Got lots of belly rubs and kisses.Millions of kisses.This morning? I woke up and found him lying on the floor in front of the litter box.Alive,but in bad shape. Asked my husband if he coudl drive me to the vet,so I could hold him.He was in the car in a flash[good man}and I was cradling Tigger. I talked to him al of the way,gave him millions of kisses.he tried to give me a weak "Head bump"...I whspered to him and told him how "lucky I felt that he had been my kitty and that soon he wouldnt hurt anymore,and to remember that I always love him"..He locked eyes with me on the table,and as the vet injected him,he stared at me and just....faded away..He never once closed his eyes..I closed them for him after the vet said he was gone..He was so warm and soft. When I got home,he was still warm.I filled his box w/flowers and a little beaded hummingbird that he used to watch in the window.Filled the grave in..Piled it high with beautiful rocks.Put my stone cat statue on top of it.Also a vase,kinda built into the cairn,for flowers..So here I sit..Tell me,how do start again? Every cat that I own,will eventually die.Never had kids.They are my family. Didnt someone once say,that it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? Well,right here,right now? Im not so sure.I feel broken...

Answer 73

I perfectly understand how u feel. I had a little dog (white german shepherd 3 months old) and he was diagnosed with parvovirus, it was the worst week of my life. I couldn't sleep because I was taking care of him... it happened in May, and I still very sad. It's hard but please don't cry, your kitty wouldn't want you to be sad.



Take care! I'm really sorry for your loss.

Answer 77

I am sorry for you, I lost my Siamese to cancer, I had 2 surgeries on her but the cancer came back. My advice is to go the closest animal shelter & bring home a cat to love...this will work for you...

Answer 78

But let yourself. Know that all of us who love our animals friends go through it. Be proud that you were there in the end. I have worked in the animal welfare field for so long, and I have seen how many of our unwanted friends are euthanized in shelters. You can be proud you gave your cat a good, permanent home.

Answer 79

I am so very sorry to read of the passing of your beloved cat. This is such a difficult time for you. Please remember that you gave your cat a wonderful home and life. You know that he loved you as much as you loved him. How fortunate that both of you found each other and enjoyed those special times.

Answer 80

Don't cry. Tried to think of the good things you have done with the cat and maybe you'll feel better. Also, don't feel sad that he/she died. Be happy that he/she is going to a peaceful place.

Answer 81

I know what you are going through, we lost our Bassette Lady Dyna 4th of July weekend when our reg. dr wasn't around. I've been keeping myself busy. My mind still thinks of her and I wait to see her follow me around in the kitchen. I have to talk about her alot and think this helps the healing. I reminded my family of how she pushed the stick in the door when I went on the patio.We all laughed and my daughter said she always played tricks on me. Talking abt her and keeping busy. I'm hoping time heals all wounds. Good luck to you. Maybe get another one. I'm to old to start you sound young.

Answer 82

Oh hun I've experienced that situation when my cat died with kidney problems.



Don't feel stupid if you're crying, cos it is someone that you can love. I suggest that you don't get another cat for a while so you can settle your mind and relax yourself.



Tear away yourself from anything that reminds you and maybe you can forget his death. I'm not telling you to forget him cos it will not make you feel better.



I'm really sorry for you as I know how it feels. Hope you feel better really soon. xxx

Answer 83

I am a animal lover, and I understand how sad you are.

I am sad for you.

Give her a proper funeral in the backyard.

You should go to the animal shelter an adopt a new one and also save their life, from being in the shelter.

Hope I helped.

I'm so sorry.

Answer 84

My cat ran away apparently? Or something worse happened to her? But I lost my cat today too, I suppose. Hence why I'm looking through all of these yahoo questions involving missing cats to feel better.



If the cat was old, the most you can say is that it lived a happy and fulfilling life and that it was loved by you. That's all a cat and the owner can really hope for.

Answer 85

I know their is nothing one can say to console you. I to have lost a beloved pet and friend. And now my 15yr old best friend is sick and close to dieing. I am crying now as i write this, for your loss as well as well as for my up coming loss. Nothing will help except time. Again in closing, Sorry for your loss. Remember the good times you had with him, will help.

Answer 86

I like this little poem....God Bless & be proud of yourself for giving him a loving home x









"Think of me as one at rest for me you should not weep, I have no more pain, no troubled thoughts, for I am just asleep.

The living thinking me that was, is now forever still and life goes on without me as time forever will.

If your heart is heavy now because I’ve gone away, dwell not long upon it friend for none of us can stay.

Those of you who liked me I sincerely thank you all, and those of you who loved me I thank you most of all.

The answer to life’s riddle, in life I never knew, I go with hope that now I will, and even so will you.

Oh, foolish, foolish me that was, I who was so small, to have wondered, even worried at the mystery of it all.

And in my fleeting lifespan as time went rushing by, I found some time to hesitate, to laugh, to love, to cry.

Matters it now if time began, if time will ever cease? I was here, I used it all, and now I am at peace..."

Answer 87

Ohhh,sigh,i am so sorry.I know your pain and it hurts....I know you gave it the very best life it could ever have had so try to think of that in the midst of all this hurt.I only wish for you the very best and let you know you were a great momma and your cat was very lucky to have you.

Answer 88

When grandpa died, my mother cried for months and months. She then realised that grandpa was always there with her. Your cat is always with you and never will fade away. Bring the good times together and wash away the bad times. Your cat is still there, there is no such real thing as die.

Answer 89

I am really sorry about your cat. A few months ago my cat also died from cancer. A pet dying is really hard to get through, but trust me you will get through it.

Answer 90

Answer 94

I watched the video (link above) re Rainbowbridge - and wished I hadn't.

I now imagine how my cat and I would feel if we were re-united.



But ......for those who are really desparate or mentally affected by their pet's death

surely this video encourages suicide - to enable both to be together quickly !!!

would encourage suicide.

It's natural for you to grieve..he was a member of your family. Give yourself time. God gives us this wonderful gift that allows us to forget pain and grief and allows us to remember the good times.

Peace.

Answer 109

Get your cat cremated into a diamond which will then turn into a ring and then you can wear the ring all the time and think "wow, my cat is now a diamond" because you can do that. There was this lady who had like heaps of dogs and cats but they all died so she got them cremated into a diamond so they're all on her fingers now :)

Answer 110

There is no "Spirit and Essence" of the cat. He's gone. You can call his name at night time but that makes you retarded. Best of luck to you though sport.

Answer 111

Answer 119

I am sorry for your loss however you cannot tell anyone your cat died from cancer because you took him to the vet and had him lethally injected. I had a dog who had seizures before and was very old (12) but we did not have her killed and she lived another 8 years. You may have had your cat for many more years if you hadn't taken it upon yourself as so many people do and determine the expiration date of his existence. Shame on you.

Answer 120

first of all I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for your lost but you should just by a new one or preted it never happend or just do someting to keep your mind off of him/her and I know what it's like my cat ran away so we had to buy a new one and we named him CHIP!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 121

My cat also got cancer and died.I know how you feel.Just give yourself some time and you won't be as sad.

Answer 122

First i am sooo sorry that your cat has died, but their is really nothing you can do to bring it back to life. I suggest you do something to take your mind of it. I am assuming you are a cat lover so just think how your cat would have suffered more if it was still alive. He was probably really precious to you but in time you will get over it. Just do something, and if you do get another cat start fresh, dont name it Sam Jr or w/e your cat's name was! Start fresh, and again i am soo sorry about you cat's death.



P.S also why not a try to get a different animal

Answer 123

Answer 126

Answer 127

give yourself time to get over that trauma before getting a another pet

Answer 128

Well, nothing can bring him back, so I can't help you with that.

But maybe you'll feel a bit better if you remember that if he had cancer, he's probably much better off wherever he is now - under ground or in kitty heaven or whatever you believe...:) At least he's not in pain, right?
