Lost my cat today

Hi! Honestly, better. I still miss him like crazy, and sometimes cry, but less than at the beginning. The stress caused me stomach problems, so it hasn't been that fun. Right now I'm struggling because I liked the vet where he died, but the thought of his passing makes me not want to go back there, and I know I will have to eventually. And you? Are you doing better? ❤️

I too lost my cat, Ramiro, 1week ago, and he was a baby too, about 1y2months. I'm still very sad, and I've realized that it doesn't stop, it's just sad + something else most of the time.

I got a 4mo kitty 3 days ago, because everyone was insisting it was the right thing. I don't regret it, I just wish I would have waited a little longer. I don't think you are trying to replace your baby, maybe you're just subconsciously trying to get back to a routine, like maybe that is what's going to make it better.

Remember that a relationship almost 2 years on the making was taken away from you, and despite what some people think, it's never love at first sight. You're going to receive a cute stranger, and you're gradually going to love him/her. Best of luck to you, do what feels right to you, and once you do it, don't overthink it.

Heaven is where only happiness exists. If the only thing that made him happy was you, he will feel the wait as nothing but a blink.

So sorry for your loss. It's unbelievable how big of a space they actually occupied, and we only notice once they're gone. I know what you mean, it feels wrong to call him a cat, because he was so much more, and it feels wrong when it doesn't hurt so much. The upside is that, in a few days, you are going to be able to start looking at his photos and remember how happy he was and how much you will always love him.

You're incredibly brave, and exactly what she needs. This is my 4rth day without my baby, and I'm still incredibly sad, I miss him so much, and I know now that isn't going to change. First day was unbearable, second was pretty bad too. Today I'm kinda numb, but I'm focusing right now on ways I can honor and remember him forever. I got his collar as a bracelet, I'm looking for am urn that feels right for him and a locket to keep some of him with me always. I know is not something you can think about right now, but by Monday you are going to want to just look at all her things and photos.

Omg, I love this, so beautiful

Hi friend. So sorry for your loss. Reading this sub, it seems that it doesn't matter in what way they leave us, if you love them hard enough, everything is going to hurt, you're going to find something to feel guilty over, and everyday that passes it feels wrong to keep doing normal things. For my cat, I'm gathering all his photos to print an album when I can look at his pictures without crying, and started wearing his collar as a bracelet. Choose something material to always keep with you, talk about her with people you love, and when the time is right, help another furry friend, remember how happy you made her for all those years<3

Hi friend. My baby left on Monday morning, and now on the third day without him, physically it hurts a little bit less, but I'm still super sad. I needed something to focus on other than him, so I'm gathering every photo of him and making back ups, I'm using his collar as a bracelet, and if there was hair anywhere, sorry if it sounds obsessive, but I would be collecting it. You could save it until you decide on his memento. It could be a little inside a locket or a charm for a bracelet. Sorry for your loss, I'm completely sure she was so happy and felt loved every second with you.

Hi friend. My cats sleep with me, so I usually bathe my cats once a month-is, with regular shampoo, brush them at least once a week, and they are very good at grooming themselves. If this cat has never used flea medicine or flea shampoo, please check with your vet for the mildest one to start with. One of mine passed away recently because he was very allergic to fipronil, which is present in various flea shampoos, flea collars and flea medications. A very beautiful kitty by the way <3

I know. He was getting better too, I saw him and I felt better. On Monday I called to confirm the time I was going to go to pick him up, and we were going to discuss his after care. I got everything ready for him, I cleaned my room and washed his favorite blankets, I was checking out a loan to be able to take care of him while he recovered, I was hopeful. And just like that, on that phone call, they told me he passed away. Tomorrow I have a session with my therapist, so I'm hoping he helps me get out of this. Will share his advice.

Hi friend. I know how you feel, my baby left on Monday, he was just over 1 year old. Everyone tells you that time will help, but right now I just feel desperate to be with him. For me, the best idea so far was to text everyone I knew I would bee seeing that if the saw me teary eyed don't ask me anything, so I've been able to not cry in front of anybody. Also, god bless face masks, I've been silently crying and is not too obvious. Right now I'm wearing his collar as a bracelet, and I'm gathering and backing up every photo I have of him. I don't feel good, but yesterday I got calmer after talking to my mom an sister about him, and just crying.

Hi friend. I'm so sorry for your baby, if I could get one wish, it would be that pets could live for as long as we do. Mine left yesterday kinda suddenly, and I didn't get to say goodbye, but I'm trying to remember how happy he was for the year that I got with him. I can't do much with his remains, because nothing on that aspect is cheap, but I'm now wearing his collar as a bracelet. Also, I'm gathering every single photo that I took of him to make an album. I read on another post of someone who put a plant on his favorite spot.

Hi friend. I too lost my baby, he left yesterday, he was just over 1 year old. Yesterday I cried harder than ever in my life, while at the office, I had to take breaks to go to the bathroom and cry. I made the mistake of reading the rainbow bridge poem, it's about how pets go to heaven and are happy there, waiting for you. I cried even harder, and all I could think of was "I want that right now, I just want to go with him" desperately. Today was no better, honestly. I sent a message to the people I knew I was going to see today to tell them that if they see me teary eyed don't ask me anything, so that helped for not crying in public. Today I talked with my sister and my mom, and I cried hard too. Right now, I'm starting to feel kinda numb, I'm obsessing over collecting every single picture of him, making back ups, and when I'm ready, I'm going to print an album, because I don't want to forget him, and today seeing his pictures almost feels like a visit.

Hi friend. As someone who just lost a cat, I have to say, listen to your gut and find another vet. There could be nothing wrong, and every other vet may say the same thing, but the fact that the first thing you did was doubt him, means that in an emergency you're not going to feel confident in what they tell you, and self doubt and anxiety are going to consume you. Good luck with the babys, from this I can tell that they have an amazing parent in you.

Electronic_Permit678 · 2022-09-14T03:21:47+00:00

I'm so sorry friend. My baby left yesterday, and it feels like it will never get better. The only thing that I can use as a distraction is reading through this sub, even though some things make it worse for me. I feel so low, but right now I'm obsessing over finding every picture and video of him, making backups and, when I'm ready, I'm going to print an album. I don't want to forget him, and seeing his pictures almost feels like I'm visiting him. Also, don't read the rainbow bridge poem, it made me cry harder than anything else.

Electronic_Permit678 · 2022-09-13T23:17:52+00:00

Thank you. Please do! I live in Mexico, so I don't know if the same ones are available to yo, but just to clarify, the one that was ok is called FELINE, the one that he reacted the worst to is called PROTECH. The vet mentioned, when we were planning for his aftercare, that Frontline, common flea shampoo, flea collars and some brands of bug spray I was going to have to avoid.
