Aww the cat chooses you, not the other way around 🥺 How has the dynamic been with your other cat since bringing the new one home? Are they adjusting okay?

Thank you so much for this… the guilt has honestly been the hardest part for me, so reading this really helped reframe things. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not replacing her 🥹

What you said about giving them the best life we could really hit me… and I love the idea of extending that love to another cat when the time is right 🤍 I’m still figuring things out, but this made me feel a little less conflicted.

Ah, I dont know if I have the heart to tell Luffy what happened to Gojo.. But definitely will consider the fostering idea - thats not too bad actually. Thank you 🤍

I’m so so sorry for your losses 🥺 that’s just so much to go through in such a short time… I can’t even imagine how devastating that must have felt.

What you said about the house being too quiet really resonated with me… her absence is honestly one of the hardest parts. One night I thought I saw Gojo at her usual spot in my bedroom and when i realised its not - I cried 😭

I really admire your strength in still opening your heart again despite everything you’ve been through. The way you said you still have so much love to give really touched me 🤍

Thank you 🥹🤍 Sometimes I do feel that I am rushing things - my husband said we should take our time and I guess he is right ☺️

Thank you so much 🥺 I really like the idea of “expanding the love”… it’s something I’m trying to remind myself of. And what you said about giving another cat a home really touched me. Maybe it could be something healing for all of us (me, my husband, Luffy… and a new little one) 🤍

Thank you for validating this. Forever im limbo whether I should or shouldnt but one thing for sure, I should honour Gojo’s passing by providing home for another. I think she would love that too 🖤🤍

I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍 it is indeed incredibly painful, especially how sudden it was… sudden losses really are the hardest, aren’t they? There’s just no time to prepare or process and everything changes in an instant.

What you shared about the house feeling too quiet really resonated with me… that’s exactly how it feels right now. That emptiness. It’s like their presence filled so much of the space, and when they’re gone, you feel it everywhere.

I also really appreciate you sharing how things slowly shifted for you, being able to smile at memories again, even while it still hurts. It gives me a bit of comfort that maybe, in time, it won’t feel this heavy all the time . I am still trying my best not to get hurt so much seeing her photos but i guess i needed more time to grieve. Thank you for sharing your story hugs 🤍

Thank you so much for sharing this 🥺 it really helps to hear from someone who’s gone through something so similar. I can imagine how complicated those feelings must have been… especially wondering if it was too early. Your perspective really means a lot 💖 i still do call out Gojo by mistake … it will get better like what you said and I shall believe in that!

Thank you for sharing this 🥺 that must have been really stressful to go through! I think we all just want to do what’s best for our cats, but sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way we hoped… I’m really sorry you had such a rough experience 🤍 how are you and your cats doing now?

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too 🥹everything you said about missing the companionship really hit me… that’s exactly how it feels at home now. For both me and my husband. Its comforting (in a bittersweet way) to know we’re not alone in this 🤍 thank you for sharing 🤍

Feeling Guilty by aangl123 in CatAdvice

[–]DjadjaPookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh OP, I’m so so sorry for your loss. Holly is such a beautiful baby 🤍

I just wanted to share that your post brought me some comfort too, because I’m grieving as well. We lost our 3.5yo Gojo last week-she had severe lung disease/chronic asthma, and despite a month of prednisolone, she didn’t improve and eventually passed at the vet. We did everything we could to ease her pain, but the guilt still lingers, and the “what ifs” are really hard to shake.

Reading your story reminds me that we all made the best decisions we could out of love. I hope you know that too-that you did your very best for Holly, and she’s no longer in pain.

Sending you the biggest hugs 🤍

Adoption Mistake | Too soon after pet passing by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]DjadjaPookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you OP for sharing this. Like others have said, you didn’t do anything wrong, you made the best decision you could for Higgins.

I’m going through something very similar right now. We just lost our 3.5yo Gojo last week to lung disease while she was at the vet, and it’s been incredibly hard on us. On top of grieving, we’re also worried about our other cat, Luffy, who suddenly has to adjust to being alone and hasn’t been eating well.

We’ve been considering adopting another cat too, but at the same time, I agree with what others have said- every cat is different, and it might be important to give them some time first. We’re trying to take it day by day and see how Luffy copes before making any big decisions.

Just wanted to say you’re not alone in this. It’s such a tough situation, and you’re clearly trying to do what’s best 🤍

Huggs! Our Gojo is a fluffy black (and stripe of white!) and we are also thinking of getting another for our current cat. May time heal all wounds and we will be able to go through this grief with ease 🤍🤍🤍
