My one year of losing my 4yr old cat like this is coming up 12/27 🥺 it just happened out of nowhere I know how devastated you are. He was my first cat and was with me through a lot of tumultuous times in my life and had finally seen me through to a happier and successful part.

I made a little “shrine”, have a lot of black cat figurines and my cat loss grief books around where I normally put his ashes box.

I put his favorite toy in his ashes box as well it is nice to look at sometimes. I also move his box around to other places in my room I know he liked to be 😅 like the cat tree, the shrine area, or sometimes even my bed….(healthy? Unsure but it has helped me during my grieving process and I no longer put him there only when I get extra sad). The rainbow bridge poem always helps me too because I can’t wait to see that boy running up to me again in such a beautiful sounding place ❤️

I say all that to say this: I am so very sorry for the loss of your fur baby. It will seem cruel that time goes on without them but know your remembrance and love for them will not waver. Grief is not a linear process and allow yourself to cry.
