injo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Today I will have to put my(our) cat down. He is the last connection with DH, my brother and mother. DH and my brother choose him in a shelter, it was a "present" for my mother(she loved cats). She made us promise to take care of him should anything happen to her, she died 4 months later. We took him in. My brother died 7 months later(cancer), almost three years later my husband died unexpectedly. And now, the same week my brother died in April I have to let him go. I'm so sad and soo tired of saying goodbye. Just needed to get it out, thanks for listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Never let anyone say it's "just a cat". Animals hold a special place in peoples lives and I am sorry for your loss in this instance. Big hugs to you today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoVerySad Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Tight, tight hugs to you, injo. I'm so very sorry you have to say goodbye to your cat today, especially after already enduring so much loss. Of course, he is more than just a cat to you. I wish I could fly myself there to be with you to hold your hand and give you my shoulder to cry on. More hugs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nonesuch Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hugs to you. it's never "just" a pet. They don't judge, and only ask for open cans and head scritches. If the cats could talk, mine would blab all my secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm so sorry to hear about your cat, a pet is never just a pet and the connections to those you have lost just compounds the loss. Wishing you peace in the days ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kamcho Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I just lost LH's and my little tyrant cat. LH had had him since college and I had him longer than LH. I got a lot of "well, it was just a cat." Even from people here. It hurts to lose a living link to our late spouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoVerySad Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Kamcho, I'm very sorry about the loss of your cat as well. And I'm sorry for the comments you got that made your loss seem insignificant. My cats are definitely family to me. Plus they never let me down in the ways my human family does. They make my life richer every day. To lose that is no small thing, especially after the losses we've already suffered. Tight hugs to you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingSquish Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hugs to you guys. Losing a pet is ridiculously hard without dealing with the loss of our spouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tableforone Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So hard. Saying good bye to a beloved pet is difficult enough without the pet being a pet you shared with your love. I did it at around a year and a half. I whispered in our dog's ear, "Go find Daddy." Big hug to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSAAT Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So so sorry for your loss! I am with ya. Had to put my precious companion down yesterday. Thinking of you, sending HUGE (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))). It just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda5 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So very sorry for the loss of another family member to you. I went to a medium about awhile ago and he told me and our daughters that a dog just came running up to my husband. Yes, we had a family dog that died 4 years before my husband did. It made all of us feel so good to know they are together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
