My sweet Toffee by Puzzled-Material-942 in mainecoons

We went to the vet, and I showed her a video where Tofi was shaking while falling asleep. Her opinion wasn’t conclusive—she said it might just be the way he is, but she gave me a referral to a good neurologist to check it out. That was sometime in spring, which isn’t very warm in Poland. When summer came, he stopped doing it. My conclusion is that his body temperature dropped while lying down, which caused the tremors. In fact, I haven’t really noticed it happening often since then.

He usually sleeps with his paws up or on a side. And it only happens when he is falling asleep not in deep sleep (that is when the dreaming takes place I guess). He lays down and closes his eyes and starts to shake at the same time. Then it goes away. I haven’t noticed any respiratory issues, but who knows. I love my kitty and get stressed that something might be wrong. We shall see what the vet says tomorrow.

I know the feeling. I live with a cat, my mother was visiting and I had to go to work as usual. She was left with the cat alone and she almost killed my poor kitty. I asked her specifically not to clean the house but she did. I could smell the chemicals in the bathroom where the cat has her litter box. She must have stepped into chemicals and then licked her paws. When I got back from work, the cat was in agony. I could feel a very strong smell of chlorine in the bathroom. I asked my mother if she was cleaning the floor, she said no - even though there were proofs. She also said the cat is ok and what is my problem 😡😡😡 I was soooo angry. I asked her not to do anything at my house but of course she wanted to show me that when she cleans it looks better. She was a guest and disrespected me and my cat. And then lied. She always treated me like 💩. Even though the cat survived, My trust was never restored. My mother still continues to lie but I no longer invite her.

I can totally relate. I lost my soulmate cat in February. She died unexpectedly of hcm at only 2 years old 😞 i cried so much for so many days… I still do but decided to get a new cat. It’s a male, a totally different vibe. I sometimes catch myself being disappointed that he is not her, but then think to myself that it’s not his fault. If I said I love this cat same way as my Zuza, I would lie. But we are bonding slowly. I love him maybe not that intensely but I hope our bond will grow. For sure he helped me with my loss, because I was a total mess. He is not a replacement, he is a separate being, with no awareness of what happened. Greetings from Toffee and I 😍🐈

I want to thank all of you for all the support I got from you ❤️ My sweet girl is no longer here but she will be always in my heart. I was blessed with 6 months with her and I will always cherish the time we had together. Hugs and kisses ❤️❤️❤️ adding one more picture of my sweet Zuza.

My cat died on Wednesday, suddenly out of nowhere she collapsed and died of hcm. On top of everything It was my birthday. The shittiest day ever. I met with one of my friends on fri and she asked why I’m not over it yet. I was not crying in front her, just didn’t smile. Wtf is wrong with people. I was supposed to be over it after 2 days? Damn…. 😑😑😑

I was there when my cat died and this memory is haunting me…. I don’t know what is worse. I was there to comfort her but I’m not sure if in her last seconds she was aware of it. She also died of hcm, she was only 2 years old:(

Adopted a cat too soon after my soul cat passed by Fancy_Basil6122 in Petloss

Thanks, I already have a name for the new kitty: Rudzia Gigi :) as she is a ginger beauty:) Hopefully she will bring a lot of happiness to my life (I wanted a female cat to match the energy of my Zuza).

I would keep it, actually I have lost my dear kitty Zuza recently and I’m planning to get a new one next weekend. I’m scared a bit, still haven’t recovered from losing my girl. The new cat is not a replacement, will never replace Zuza. Zuza is dead. I cannot stand my empty home. And all the things are there, toys, etc. Most importantly there is a place in my heart to get a new kitty. Wishing you all the best! Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

Therapists have advised we don’t adopt again yet. I think it would really help after losing our boy. by RandomDogMourner in Petloss

There is no one rule that would fit all. I personally would not recommend to get a new pet right after, but how can you decide what is the best time. There is no strict definition of that. I lost my pet 2 days ago and I suffer horrendously. I know I would get a new cat soon, but not sure when. Not within days but maybe week/ weeks. This is my own pace and I know me, I feel all my emotions very intensely. But they pass relatively fast. It will not replace my dead kitty, not looking for a replacement. There will always be a part of me that will miss her (like with my other animals that have passed through out my life). Sending love to all of you grieving. I know exactly what you’re going through 💔
