Answer 1

I am so very sorry, sweetie.

I lost one of my dogs a little over two years ago. I thought I'd never get over the pain and that I'd never stop crying. I cried for him more than I've cried for any human being that I'd lost.

I know that right now it feels like you are going to die but it will get better. Trust me on this. Time heals, it really does. In time, instead of crying, you're going to be laughing when you think of something silly that your cat did. Maybe it comforts you just a little to know that now your cat is with my dog...he loved cats so they're probably playing together.


"Rainbow Bridge"

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm sorry. It is so hard to lose a pet. Many people don't understand why you are grieving - they'll say it was only a cat. They are stupid. You need to take the time to grieve. You have to look at it in a positive way. You gave your cat a good life. Your cat gave you good companionship and love.

All things are a cycle and you have to let them go when it is time. Plant a flower in honor of your pet, and make a contribution to an animal shelter in its name, so some other cat can have a nice treat. Someday you will again be ready to take another animal into your heart, but for now be gentle to your self. Take yourself for a walk and realize nature really is all about cycles, and everything must pass through all of them, even the painful ones.

Oh, I'm so sorry for you...reading your question is making me cry! It's OK to cry over the loss of your cat....it only happened yesterday. I understand how much you love and miss him, my cat was my best friend when I was growing up too. It's ok to look at pictures and remember the cute things he did. And it's ok to cry when you think about him. The loss will hurt for a while, but it will get easier, I promise! You'll always have those happy memories of him. When and if you decide to share your life with another cat, I'm sure you'll be a caring and loving friend to him or her.
BIG HUG!!!

Answer 4

I put my cat to sleep 2 year ago, she been with me for 15 years. I still miss her today.

I live my self most of my life so when an old friend drops off a kitten to me I hated him for that. But over the years I knew the only reason why I have to come home was to take care of my cat.
And that give me comfort. I felt it was just she and I against the world.

You are going to cry, and be depress for a very long time. And you should. Animal in essences are all innocent souls like angles. To miss there loss is to say you were grace by their present and to honor them you should cry and hope that someday you wish to meet that soul once again and say think you.


I wish you well

I know how you feel my cat Midnight died last year on December 5. My mom took him to the vet that day and didn't come back with him. The vet sent my family the same poem you have and it made me feel a lot better. It took me over a week to realize that no matter how much I cry, my crying would not bring him back.
Sometimes It helps to have a picture of your cat with you. Just last week I notice that my sister had a picture of Midnight in back of her Id card. Writhing down all your feelings also helps too.
Think happy thoughts. I'm sorry for your loss, I hope you feel better.

Answer 6

I really understand your pain and what you are feeling right now. I'm sorry to hear about your loss...I just went through exactly the same situation your experiencing right now. I bought a pit bull puppy "Brownie" about 2.5 months ago, and he was everything to me; I loved him so much 'n still do. He'd sleep with me, follow me everywhere, I would hold him all the time, play with him, I mean so much memories...Until exactly 16 days ago that I left him outside for a little bit, and after going to look for him I realized somebody had stolen him. I walked for almost 3 hrs around the streets at night looking for him everywhere 'n couldn't stop crying of desperation. I felt so frustrated, I couldn't believe that I didn't had my puppy with me no more..... just by looking at his food, toys, etc would make me cry 'n couldn't stop doing so. I couldn't even talk to somebody or look at another dog because I would start crying, and I didn't eat nothing for almost 3 days. They were one of the worse days of my life. Only I knew how bad and sad I felt because of the bond that me and my puppy had formed together, just like you and your cat. He meant so much to me, I can't look at pictures of him and me because I start crying, it's just a terrible feeling not knowing where he is or how he is being treated. It's been two weeks sinse I don't have him with me nomore, but it seems like its been years because I miss him so much. All I did was buy another pit bull puppy this past thursday, so that he could replace a little bit of the empty feeling that I have. I really love my new puppy, although I know that it will never be the same. "Brownie" meant so much to me, and I still hope he will come back to me some day, my dream was to see him grow up to a beautiful dog. I really understand what you're feeling, and I wouldn't judge you like other people do sometimes when they say "its only an animal"....because that "animal" can mean more then anything. What I can tell you is to not look at pictures of it, and don't try to do things or go to places that will remind you more about your cat(do this for awhile). This way you can start resignating about your loss. Also, if you have that incomplete and empty feeling about not having your cat nomore, then wait a few more days and buy yourself a new kitten. This way you will have another little one to take care of (just like i'm doing right now with my new puppy), and that kitten will bring more joy to you in this situation. I know it will never be the same 'n nothing else will ever replace your beloved cat, but you will still feel the spark of joy and ease your pain...

My kitten died two weeks ago. She was only 5months old. and she died a horrible death, she was poisoned and when I took her to the vet they told us to go back home because I didn't have the money right then and there to put her down. So I can understand how you feel. The only thing is, my cat died 5hours after she digested something. I'm sure your cat is missed, but time will heal your pain. I had to wait for the pain to stop.....It will hurt for awhile, there isn't anything you can do. And getting another cat doesn't work. Stay Strong.

Answer 8

OH my ...... well, OK before you just get worse ....... first my wife and I will (((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))) (that's from me) and my wife's (((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))

Well, we thought about this a bit because my wife "owns" (though it belongs to both of us) an orange tabby and he is no longer a "youngster" by no means.
Since your kitty died yesterday I well imagine your kitty is at the Vet's. If not ... call your Vet or the Humane Society and they will come and pick up your kitty. IF, where you live, has a pet cemetery (and some cities and towns do have them) find out where they buried it and it will be a place where you can go and "visit" your kitty and place flowers, etc. IF NOT .... meaning there are no cemeteries like that in your area .... then you do have the pictures and the items your kitty played with. Go ahead and keep them (the toys and other stuff the cat played with; unless you want to throw those away. HANG onto the pictures.) BUT put them in a place where you know where they are. DON'T leave them out in the open where you can see them because the memory of your kitty could come back and then you may experience the tears, etc.
NOW is that exciting time. You get to go back out and find a kitten (let it be a gray and black kitten, a white kitten, any other type of kitten other than orange --- not unless you REALLY, REALLY have a penchant for orange tabbies and MUST GET ONE OF THOSE. My advice, though, is to get a different colored and type of kitten. Believe me ... there are A LOT of cats out there that would LOVE an owner such as you. BUY it its NEW toys .... train it in its own NEW potty box and ENJOY your new kitten. I would suggest, if at all possible, do this as soon as you can. Soak your attention and love onto your NEW kitten. Do this for awhile ...... then .... and if ...... you want a reminder of your last cat; the orange tabby; you have a picture album to look at and if you want to see that one's toys, etc., then look them over. BUT, do that AFTER you have your new kitten and AFTER you have soaked your new kitten with all the love and attention it desires. I'm suggesting that you do this over a PERIOD of time; like 6 months or more. Watch your new kittie grow into a fine and handsome (beautiful) cat. Treat your new cat with all the love and attention you want, take NEW pictures of it at kitten stage, early adult stage and adult stage and HANG them all over your house; wherever you want. I would say that IF you have a picture of the orange kitty at work, bring that home and put that in the picture album ---- frame too--- along with its toys. Buy a new frame and start looking at your new kitty wherever you go. If you have any place (like your car, for instance) where you have a reminder of your orange kitty take that away and put on the NEW REMINDER ... of your NEW kitten and go from there.
This is not being disrespect-able to your memory of your orange tabby. But you need to get a new kitten and go on. I know how it hurts when even a cat in your home is either lost and can't be found or it died. It does hurt. We get attached to our animals just like we get attached to a person in our lives. So, your tears are not stupid nor dumb. But now is the time for you to go on ... that help ... that aid would be a new kitten. Like I said, wrap your love all over your new kitten. You still have your memories and the picture/item memories are safely tucked away. BUT, now is the time to make new memories and take new pictures of you new kittie!

Answer 9

I know how you feel. I have had cats in my life that were very special to me. Its very hard to deal with losing a loved one. It will take time... but you will heal. You have lost a friend... and you may never completely get over it. Besides he had leukemia... he is at peace now. Just remember that you will see him again. You two will be reunited and you can catch up on the days lost. He is happy... and no longer has to suffer. Your buddy is probably sad for you now but he knows that you have a lot of love to give. Maybe you can try adopting another baby later... give yourself time... and remember him.


My condolences.

Answer 10

I'm so sorry. Crying is a natural reaction to your loss. I always cry when I read the Rainbow Bridge poem, something about seeing all those beloveds again. There are various websites with material and chat about pet loss. You can search for them. I'm holding you in my heart.
