Dealing With Loss
Do we ever truly get over losing something or someone we thought a lot of?I had one of my cats put down recently, she had a heart attack. I have lost a lot of cats over the years but this one is sticking to me more so. This cat was what some people would call a misfit but she was a true one person cat, me and only me she would approach. I guess it was a special bond I had with her and I still look for her sitting on top of the laptop in the bedroom.
Will need a bit more time I guess.

With lifespans much shorter than our own, we are destined to go through this remorse repeatedly,
if we keep getting pets.
Sorry to hear about your cat. I've had dogs, sometimes a cat. It's always tough when I lose one.
But, I figure, since pets don't have a longer lifespan, why not give them a nice life during the few years that they do have.
They bring us joy, comfort, as we bring them joy, comfort too. It's a nice exchange.
My condolences.
I still miss him everyday in the house and perhaps one day I'll ask for another one to come to my door, d up in the night as a perhaps 6 week old kitty. I wrapped him in his favorite blanket and found a beautiful resting place on the edge of a 80 foot granite rock cut overlooking a meandering creek. Track they have a way of getting into our hearts and a way of staying there forever.
