#cats

I had to put down my 17 year old kitty on Christmas Eve. Now, the house is so quiet and empty. I find myself crying over the oddest things.

Answer 1

The sadness never truly goes away does it? For me it eventually seems to change into a feeling of bittersweetness; the happiness that the kitty gave me combined with the grief. Take care please.

Answer 2

Sorry for your loss, it can really be like losing a family member.

Answer 3

So sorry. It is never easy to lose a friend.

Answer 4

Hugs. I did the same over Thanksgiving. I was also lucky to find 2 siblings at the humane society shelter. One of them reached out from her cage and caught me.

Good luck in recovering.

Answer 5

You are grieving your fur child's passing. It is normal, it is healthy. It will pass. You will remember him or her forever. You made a hard decision. be gentle with yourself.

Answer 6

Grief is understandable. They were part of the family. I'm sorry for your loss.

Answer 7

Too young! Your grief is mine.

Answer 17

I know full well the heartbreak of losing a beloved animal. The best way to honor such a creature is to adopt another. Somewhere, there's another cat or four who desperately need you.
