I have lost quite a few pets over the years but my cat is always on my mind. he was everything to me and my family.

Just over 2 years ago he passed away and I still cannot bring myself to get another pet.

He just collapsed and died on the floor, I can still see the mages in my head of him just dying in front of me.

I'm not sure if I will ever be ready to get another pet.

I know how you feel. Trust me on that. On May 6, 2024, I lost my best friend and furbaby, Shadow. It hurt so bad losing her that I went through depression. The truth is that it is still a struggle for me. She was there for me even after my daughters grew up and moved out and on their own.

I have lost so many pets over the years. They all hurt but I think the worst so far was my baby girl Sandy. Sadly I was in California when she had a seizure and didn't come out of it even when my parents and brothers took her to the vet and had her put to sleep. 😭

It's been 10 months since my cat passed away. I mourn everyday. I keep thinking that I need to let go and move forward with a new pet. Maybe to help with the healing but I always talk myself out of it. I'm on the fence and not sure my heart is ready but I do miss having a cat. At the same time, I'm scared to re-adopt.

Yep. I don't think we ever get over it. It might hurt less but we still miss them.

Yeah I think we all have our favourite. My cat was my world and I felt sorry for my daughter whom has Autism, she is still heartbroken.

I know exactly how you feel. My cat has been gone 2 years and still can't get another one. I don't think we will ever get another cat like him. he was very placid, calm and so loving. his purr used to be so calming.

I get it.. I really do. This year alone I have lost three of my fur babies. 2 bonded rabbits and a cat. Absolutely gutted. With the bunnies..one lost the use of his back legs… very common in rabbits…that was Alfie.. his doe..Bella…not sure what was wrong,, She went off her food and her behaviour changed. The vet could find no physical reason..found her dead in her hutch. 🥺🥺🥺

My cat..PeeWee.. had him eleven years. He was a lovely old cat. He had diabetes. I TRIED SO HARD.. I gave him insulin injections twice a day. In about 4 months he lost half his body weight, He was skin and bones..so.. we had to do the inevitable.. he wasn't getting better..he was starving to death… I still cry about him… Once this lot have gone.. 3 bunnies and two cats..no more..ever. Hurts too much..🥺🥺

Just to add.. my siggy is NOT my rabbit..Alice..but it looks like her… exactly like her..she is a funny bunny..🥹
