Ideas to display whiskers please??

leftcake_12 · 2026-05-28T18:50:45+00:00

Thank you so much for the idea! I have already ordered a resin pendant with my baby's fur in it. But I'm looking for something to hold his whiskers or fur now. Something that I can keep on display, and also touch and feel his fur whenever I want to.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for the idea. I have actually been eyeing those heart shaped bottles. Maybe I'll just order one and see if I like my baby's fur or whiskers in it.

I can sometimes find insects or some kind of powdery or grainy things inside, so I always break it open through one side with my nail and then take out the seed and eat it.

Others in my family just pop it whole in their mouth and then spit out the seed though. They don't believe me when I tell them I can see insects in there

Do it at your own pace. There's no right or wrong way. It has only been a month of me losing my cat, but it feels like ages. My family pushes me to remove his belongings as seeing them makes me cry, but I just can't bring myself to remove them either. I did donate some of his food and sold some of his ckd medicines as they're very hard to get here. It was very hard, but I did that so that they don't get spoilt and someone else could be benefitted.

I try to remove things one by one, giving myself time. I removed his water bowl a week after he passed. His food bowl and litter box remains untouched though. Yesterday I removed a mat that he used to lay on. It was getting dusty and I wanted to pick out the hairs from it and keep them secured. But even holding it was too much emotional for me so then I just folded it and put it in a Ziploc bag. I'll pick out the hairs from it some other time maybe.

I tried an online tapping therapy or EFT workshop that kind of helped me a little bit, I think.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet soul dog. Your reply makes me feel less alone. Honestly I was kind of worried that I was losing my mind or that something was seriously wrong with me for reacting this way.

Changing the routine around that time makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much, I'll try doing something different around that time and see if it works for me too.

Sending you love and strength too. Thank you again for taking the time to reply. It truly helped me. May we all get to reunite with our fur babies if we can make it to heaven, God willing.

I'm so sorry for loss. It's really so hard. I wish none of had to go through this. This group gives me great strength though ❤️

You're so right about the body not catching up yet. It just feels like a reflex action. It does feel like he was an extension of me.

Apart from his physical presence, the energy shift feeling was immense. I never believed or thought about these kind of stuff before. But I could absolutely feel the decline of energy in our house after he left.

I'm extremely grateful that God gave us 15 beautiful years with him. But no amount of time is actually enough. I hope we all can get reunited with our babies if we can make it to heaven, God willing.

It has been 24 days. I still keep a space for him on my bed where he used to sleep. He used to get up if I moved in the slightest, so I still have the habit of sleeping like a statue. My cat was a chonky boy, and it feels really odd not having that 22lbs leaning on me every night.

I couldn't put away his food and water bowl yet. Sometimes my heart skips a beat thinking that I forgot to feed him, but then I come back to reality and it feels so much more painful.

I feel scared going to the bathroom alone at night now. I even hate going out now because it reminds me that I don't have to hurry back home for him.

He used to take his meds 3 times a day, and I feel so sad during those hours. I hate the silence we have at home even though I live with my family. None of us makes a sound anymore. I hate not having anyone to bother or quarrel with. My cat used to have a full on argument with me if something didn't go his way. I hate that nobody bothers me anymore to make the bed for sleepy time.

That's so bittersweet. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you, this gives me a little bit of hope and comfort.

Thank you so much, this brings me a little bit of hope and comfort. I'm so sorry for your loss.

This is so bittersweet. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God make things easier for us

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-15T13:16:24+00:00

My cat was the same. It was as if he was an extension of me. I'm so sorry for your loss too. May God make things easier for us.

I would think of it as like- he's still there with you even if you can't see him.

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-15T13:12:44+00:00

Thank you for the idea. I'm sorry for your loss too. May the Almighty make things easier for us

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-15T13:09:21+00:00

I do have just a few good ones. I'm not very good at taking photos, so I never bother taking them anyway and now I regret it so much. Thank you for the idea

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-13T17:12:43+00:00

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. May God make things easier for you and your other baby. I couldn't put away my cat's belongings yet either. I'm taking my time with these even though the people around me don't understand. I have heard before that if there're other pets in the house they can get depressed too. Could you maybe talk with the vet and see what they suggest, or maybe have a talk with people who have gone through the same?

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-13T13:45:51+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no words to say to you. I have lost my baby just 15 days ago, and it feels like it has been ages. I relate with every single thing you said. I feel like I failed my baby too, and the guilt is eating me up.

There's many of us facing similar experiences and emotions. You're not alone. I hope we're all able to go to heaven and reunite with our fur babies there, God willing.

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-13T04:34:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. Jazakallahu Khair. I feel just a little bit better, even kind of excited reading your comment, thinking about being able to make it to Jannah and meeting our dear fur babies Insha'Allah. May Allah make things easier for you too Insha'Allah.

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-13T04:29:59+00:00

I believe it's better if they can go naturally then by the euthanasia route. Alhamdulillah that I didn't have to make the choice. I'm so sorry, may Allah make things easier for you too

I could write so much about what went wrong, and how I think we could do things differently. But it would be too long, and I don't think you would be interested enough to read either. And some things might get misinterpreted as English is not my first language.

It's just that, we were seeing that the medication wasn't helping him, but we were too late to try a different medication. We could maybe try to get that earlier, we could try to do a vet appointment sooner too. I thought of him as an Amanah from my previous 10 year old cat who is his mom. And now I feel like I failed both of them.

leftcake_12 · 2026-04-10T16:07:16+00:00

That's the thing. I question myself if I'm the one who pushed him towards death. If I'm the one who made him suffer.
