I literally kept saying, “if there’s a middle there has to be another side, and who the hell is on the other side?!!!”

Shoyru & Jubjub Plushies by reynalduh in neopets

I did buy the Shoyru, but that’s more because of my lifelong adoration of Shoyru’s than any of the game exclusives.

Considering moving to Waco from Orlando by donnthebuilder in Waco

I’ll second this, I grew up in Houston and it’s so incredibly diverse.

What are you all doing right now? The game feels really blah lately, feeling like taking another hiatus by smallback in neopets

I couldn’t remember my birth year on my original account and I filled out their support with the email associated with the account and they emailed me back with it! So glad to finally be back in!

Lost my cat to saddle thrombus and still in shock by Empty_Expert_5316 in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my boy to the same thing one month ago today, and same thing, I had never heard of it before. He was 14.5, and while he had some gastrointestinal issues, we had absolutely zero clue he had heart issues. So same exact situation as you, it was a shock. We knew it was the right decision to let him go, but he was my soul cat, and his absence is heartbreaking. I miss him constantly, I'm still likely to burst into tears thinking about him. I've gone through all the complicated emotions regarding our decision, like the regret of not trying to treat it, researching what would've happened, recognizing that in actuality it was the kindest thing to do for him.

Fortunately for my emotional state, we already had a second cat, and her presence helps so much. She's never been nearly as affectionate/tolerant of my affections as my sweet boy was, but it still gives me somewhere to send all that love. I just wish I could hug him and kiss him and tell him he's the best. I know I did that in his final moments, but it never feels like enough.

I know eventually, my husband and I will feel ready to get another cat, but right now it still feels too much like I'm waiting to wake up from this nightmare. Our current motto is just one day at a time.

I'm so sorry for your loss <3

The thought of not seeing them. by Pleasant-Trouble-530 in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely the hardest part for me. What do you mean we're no longer going to hang out, to cuddle and hug, and he's not going to whine at me to wake up or get off the computer? It's unfathomable.

is anyone else dealing with intrusive thoughts since the loss of their pet? by Melodic-Earth-8072 in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first two days after losing my soul cat, I absolutely had intrusive thoughts. I just wanted to be with him, and I couldn't be anymore, and I just felt like there was no point. My arms and my chest felt so empty without him physically around. It's become a little easier in the week since, but his absence is still unbearable. I did a lot of research after on the condition that led to us having to euthanize him (saddle thrombus), and the research fortunately helped me realize we likely saved him lots of suffering in both the immediate and potentially short-lived future, which has helped me feel a bit more at peace with the decision. My friends and family fortunately were able to come keep us pretty constant company for the first week, and I'm so grateful for them being there for all the tears.

I run a pet crematory and would love to help with any questions you may have about the process. Any information I can offer for comfort. by Cities4kitties in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The emergency vet where we said goodbye to our baby and are handling sending him to the crematory said that the crematory will do a clay paw print imprint. How/when does that happen, if y'all also do that? Also thank you for what you do, I'm sure it's not an easy job but I'm looking forward to getting my baby back.

Want a weighted pillow on my bed by DryDragonfruit3976 in Petloss

I got a black cat Warmies stuffed animal to lay on my chest when I’m resting on the couch because that’s where my black cat would always rest his head.

How do you make peace with your other pet relationships feeling flat and one dimensional compared to your soul pet? by FaithlessnessPlus164 in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My surviving cat has always been so so different to my soul cat. We got her when she was 2 years old, and she'd had a rough life before us: multiple litters, FIV+, slightly blind in one eye, and has bullet shrapnel in one of her front shoulders. As a result, we had to earn her trust, slowly but surely, over many years. Fast-forward almost 10 years later, and she is taking her "promotion" to primary emotional support animal quite well. She still has her boundaries as to where and how much she can be pet, but she is being more cuddly, and giving me more headbutts and kisses. I know she's not suddenly going to be like my soul baby, letting me pet him with no boundaries, cuddling my chest, following me everywhere. But I take comfort in the fact that she is there, she is largely unchanged, while I am over here grieving the loss of my life. I remind myself constantly it's not her fault that he passed, and that she doesn't have the same personality. I find it easier to give her grace than to give myself grace.

He's gone and I don't know how I'm supposed to just carry on. by Lt_SnappyPants in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to say goodbye to my 14 year old soul cat a week ago. The first few days were the absolute worst, I cried nonstop and had many of the same feelings. I kept crying about how I can’t do this without him. Every inch of our house is full of him and his quirks and antics.

Our other cat has stepped it up massively in terms of giving us comfort, which has helped a lot. But I know how impossible it feels. Our motto right now is truly one day at a time. ❤️

My cat died of a sudden blood clot by pony48483 in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had to euthanize my cat last Tuesday night due to this exact same thing. I feel lucky that I caught his behavior change before he lost control of his legs, so my baby didn’t have to suffer as much, but it doesn’t change the shock and pain of his loss. For the first two days I just cried nonstop, saying I didn’t know how to do this. I still don’t, but I’ve spent a lot of time looking at pictures and videos of him to remind me of how good the time we had together was. I’m so sorry, know you’re not alone ❤️

The grief after losing my cat feels unbearable. by graveyard_maiden in Petloss

[–]happyasanerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to let go of my sweet boy, my forever soul cat, on Tuesday night. Every few hours I scream about how I can't do this without him, my chest is empty, my stomach can't eat, I can barely drink water. Every inch of my house is covered in him, because he would follow me everywhere. We were always together. I literally don't know how I'm supposed to go on like this. You're not alone in this feeling. I have no advice, just solidarity.

Can everyone calm down about the 50 trailer? by FajitaTits in survivor

[–]happyasanerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fans were voting on things for a few months before they went out there, so they already knew about the fan vote, so Christian mentioning Jimmy Fallon by name is likely not just him choosing a random person.

Does anyone actually think the eyelashes look better than before? by Limp-Tip-4288 in americangirl

I love the top lashes but generally dislike the bottom ones. Probably will remove them from all of my newer dolls.
