1) My beloved dog Holly died alone in a strange emergency veterinary hospital after they advised against me staying the night with her.
yacko69
My Shepard passed as well at the vet.. I only got to she her sad face on the car ride there she knew something was wrong. Still regret it.
2) I will never remember her passing without heavy guilt for not insisting to stay. That was 5 years ago. She was the very best girl.
otiumCatulli
I've noticed that grieving people feel guilty, they have a need to feel guilty. This comforted me in my grief because I knew it was 1/2
A natural reaction, like anger, and it was me putting blame on me, when my loved one wouldn't have blamed or wanted to blame me.

I want to share a sad story. For many years when I was sitting at my desk, my cat would come by and wait by my feet for me to pick him up >
I'd put him on my lap and he'd curl up and fall asleep. As he got older, there came a day when he started to get sick. We took him to the >
vet, but they said there wasn't much they could do and it was only a matter of time. One night, I was at my desk, and my cat came up to my >
feet, but for the first time, actually jumped up into my lap instead of waiting for me to pick him up. He curled up and fell asleep. After >
a while, he jumped down and curled up again under the desk and quietly passed away. It was sad but so very heartwarming. RIP Tigger. <3
whatupmyknitters
my cat died under a tire one extra-foggy night when he was out hunting. i wish he'd been able to die curled up in a warm bed instead.
But it was quick, kidney failure drawn out over weeks is no better
true i guess. my cat was only 3 though.

My cat who was old and died a few months ago had me go through the same thing. I keep the door closed in my bedroom while asleep....
And he would never wake me up not even to eat. That fateful morning I heard that very upset meowing and him scratching at the door....
Which he never did. Only to open the door and find him taking his last breath while I pulled him into my arms.

My cat gave birth in my sister's bed when she was sleeping. My sister just thought she was sweaty that night but it was actually blood. /
I wonder if my car felt safe there. Even though they couldve been crushed.

Poor car, keep them safe from junkyard compactors all right?
MarshmalineTheCampfireQueen
My cat did it too. Woke up with an unclean baby in my mouth. He later became my best friend but yucky!
Totally worth it though.

Just make it worse for my feels why don't you.
I cried all day, it was awful. She was like our first kid. Raised her from a pup.
Now I am remembering how I found my cat dead as a kid. She was with me since I was born and I was the first to find her
Consider yourself lucky. When I was a kid I had a paper route and found one of my elderly customers dead. Ah, the memories of youth.
Childhood is such a beautiful time.

Do. My parents got me my cat before I knew what death was. If I knew what death was, I wouldn’t have gotten a cat yet.

I put my first cat that I got as an adult to sleep in December. Hardest fucking decision I've ever made.
SarcasticComment
There is a major difference between processing loss and requiring years of professional counseling to overcome the passing of a beloved pet
Again, didn’t take years, but it helped. Having formed a 16 year habit of caring for her, it took a while to not think of her every 1/2
Morning at breakfast or every couple days when I’d clean the litter box, etc.. Therapy gave me the tools to overcome that.
With the average lifespan of an outdoor cat being 2 years, I guarantee that you quadrupled your cat's life span. Not only that 1/
straberrymilk
That's seems off, my cat was an outdoors type and lived for 10 years, 2 seems low.
You gave your kitty a safe warm loving home with clean food and fresh water for four of its nine lives. That is something to be proud of.
My apologies: forgot my sauce! ASPCA 5 years for an outdoor cat and between 16 and 20 for an inside cat
mandadadada
I had such a horrible family that my dog meant more 2 me than half of them combined, I still remember everyday, I got PTSD for his death
Why PTSD. He saved you from horrible family situations. But you saved him too.
Because you can get PTSD from feeling utterly helpless, and I already had PTSD from other things, plus I was losing my home + many things
Why even get a cat if the end result is $1000s in therapy bills?
bustosoon
Why the fuck not? Cats are amazing
Agree to disagree. If I am going to spend a fortune on therapy, it will be over a dog
As a cat person gotta admit; dogs are often awesome too
Moriarty
Their companionship can save you considerably more than that in therapy bills while they are around.
Still seems like a questionable investment. Maybe start with processing the loss of a mouse to build up your immunity to larger mammals
tzap
..Years of therapy for a cat dying to old age? I don't think it'd be a good idea to get pets if their inevitable death sends you to therapy.

Yeah, if you get a pet, you absolutely have to be able to cope with death every decade or so. If not, then they are not for you.

You may not think you're able to cope but pet ownership may very well change that.
I am not following your logic. If I think that a pet dying would ruin my life, I should just get one and hope it proves me wrong?

Oh no! What happened?
They weren't eating or feeding from momma. First two died overnight, one was born dead and deformed and the last died the day I got formula
That's so sad! We adopted a pregnant, sick, starving cat from the woods once, most of hers died too as they were all ill - but it was hard.
