my cat just died and i cant get over him he was so special 2 me what shood i do?

Answer 1

I am so sorry for you. We lost ours last Thanksgiving week after 18 years. It is like losing a member of the family.

Go ahead & cry. It is very normal.

The best thing you can do is get a new kitty.

Answer 2

Thw loss of a pet can be a very sad time (especially if you have owned the cat for a long time). Cats have a way of becoming "part of the family". I own 4 myself. I've heard that a good way of dealing with the loss is going out and adopting another cat. I know that a new cat can never replace your old cat, but it can help deal with the hole in your life. Now keep in mind that all animals have different personalities. You'll need to understand the likes and dislikes of of this new pet. Treating a new pet like the one you've had may not end up the way you want.

Another method is just keeping a picture of your cat somewhere in the house, just to remind you of all the memories you've shared.

I am sorry for the the loss you have felt
I hope i could be of some help

Answer 3

I feel for you... I'm sure your cat was very special...
Give it a little time... grieving is a natural thing and it won't be easy... take some heart in the fact that you gave him a very good life and home and appreciated all he had to give to you... I'm sure all he wanted from you was love, some attention and of course food and water and you were there to give it and more... Cats are soooo cool...
After some time passes, I suggest adopting a kitten from a local shelter... You'll know when the time is right and there is a kitten waiting out there for you...
Again, I know it's not easy, but believe me when I tell you I understand and feel your loss...
Take care now...

Answer 4

Go ahead and grieve, Phill. Just as you would for any member of the family. Remember the good things about the cat as well as the bad. Talk and write about him, if you want to.

Some years ago, a cat very special to our family died- one who had helped to raise my nephew. The little boy was only about 5 and couldn't write well- and he was very torn up about it. So what I did was get paper and crayons, and we sat around drawing pictures of that cat.

Feel better. Some day you will smile and laugh again.

Answer 5

The Same Thing Happed To Me. The Next Day I Went To The Human Society And Got A New One.

Answer 6

everyone goes through the greiving process differently and some take longer than others, it is a natural and necessary part of life that we all will experience at some point. ofcourse you are still greiving over so special a friend. you will meet again one day when it is your time, he may even be there to meet you on the other side.
the best thing you can do to honor the love you have for your kitty and in his memory is adopt a homeless kitty from a shelter and give them a chance at life that they might otherwise not have and you will find yourself with another special friend in no time.

Answer 7

Pets are just as much a part of your family as people, they just don't typically live as long as humans. The answer is you Don't "get over" it. Grieving for anyone or any animal can take as long as you need. The memory will be with you for your lifetime. You just need to concentrate on the good times you had and the warm feelings your cat brought to you. Pets can be your best friend in bad times as well as good. The best thing you can do for yourself and your beloved cat is to be thankful for the time you got to share his/her life, and be grateful they came into your life. Believe it or not, there will come a day when the sadness lessens, and you can get on with your life. Someday you may have room in your heart to share with another pet, and hopefully they can bring you as much joy as your other pets have in the past.
I would recommend not rushing out to get a kitten or other pet, as the comparisons that will naturally come to mind will not make either you or another cat happy. It's best to sit with your grief awhile (it's a natural feeling and a part of all life), then slowly move on. Keep your chin up and remember that you also brought great love and joy to an animal's life and your cat lived a happier life having a human who cared for him.

Answer 8

It's very hard to loose a loved one. I had to make the decision to have my cat put to sleep last summer. Our other cat started acting up, pooping on the floor when she never did before. We had discussed waiting a while to have a proper mourning period but the opportunity to adopt another cat came faster than we expected when my older son took a part time job working at a cat shelter. I took on weaning 3 kittens and we kept one of them. He is now a big sassy, feisty guy, named for the boxer Kostya Tszyu, and he doesn't get along very well with our other cat, but he is a real joy.

I hope that with time and tears you will be ready to adopt another cat.

Answer 10

Our cat just died in April and I had her since I was a teenager. I was heartbroken and so were my kids. I could not bear to bury her in the yard because I don't plan on living where I am much longer, so I had her cremated. It was a very hard time for me, and although i love animals, I just can't bear to get another cat, atleast not yet.

Answer 11

I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty. What you might do is go to your local animal shelter and save the life of another kitty. Nothing can replace the cat you lost, but knowing that you helped an animal in need - and having another fuzz face to love! - might make you feel better!
