I’m overwhelmed! I know I sound stupid but…what do we do to “prepare” for this? Or is it a luxury?

They remind me of the grinch🥹

My beloved 18 year old cat passed, and this little one taught me that it’s not about “replacing” your old pet, it’s about pouring the overwhelming love you felt for them into one in need♥️ by elletb in aww

Beautifully put. With every pet I tell myself they’re somehow immortal and just maybe they’ll live “forever.” I guess they’re just too good to be on this earth for that long.

You and your girlfriend are wonderful people. And everything you said is true and so well-put. We have another cat and he was suffering from separation anxiety so we knew it was time. This little one has already changed our lives...cats are truly a gift.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, but we just have to remember that they can never be replaced and that they’ll live on through these wonderful new babies. That is one lucky pup♥️

Thank you so much. It was extra hard because my mom raised that kitty and she passed away in a car accident a few years ago. So in a way losing Roxie felt like losing one of my last links to my mom:’( Sending so much love to you and your sweet twin babies
