It's been a month since my cat died... and I don't thing anyone around me understand how much I meant it when I said he was like my baby. His death was devastating to me. I can compartmentalize and continue other aspects of my life normally, but that part that was for him its barely holding. I've cried every day of this month, and I don't think it will end soon.
I try to convince myself of stopping it, it's just a cat, get over it. But he wasn't "just a cat" for me. The way he came to me and our relationship was more than just owner and pet. I miss him so much. I'm glad he was happy his entire 2 years (He was so young, big cat but small at the same time) but that doesn't change that I still needed him.
Someone said they stay around for a while and then come back to you, I hope he does, at some point in the future.

Losing a pet is awful, and there's no such thing as "just a cat". So sorry for your loss. A meager comfort is perhaps that you at least can mourn him knowing he lived a happy life with you
That's what kinda makes it easier, knowing that cat couldn't be happier. But I'm tired of losing the things that make me happy, not much does.
I am so sorry for your loss...
My condolences. In many places, pets are such a ++ part of the family that pet owners in those places R known as "pet parents"; losing a pet as on the same level as losing a parent /sibling / child. That's how much it hurts when it happens.
Yes. I know a pet is different than a kid, but that doesn't make it hurt less, it's just different. And when you don't have a kid but your pet is all you have, all the love goes to them.
(It feels weird for me to "like" content dealing with the death a loved 1 or admired figure, which is why I don't upvote that sort of content. Please accept, as compensation, this slice of !PIZZA, bit of !LUV, some !LOLZ, and a !BBH.)
I understand it, thank you, appreciated
I am so sorry for your loss
Our pets are our family. Losing a pet is the same as losing a family member. It never gets easier and you'll never get over it. But you will learn to appreciate the good times amd memories you had without the sadness.
He will come visit you in many ways 💚
I hope I can do that, remember him and smile, now It's still too soon, I just miss him so much. Part of the reason I decided to go to the gym in the mornings is to not be here alone and crying. Every morning it was just the two of us talking, I got to a level where I could have full conversations with him, in cat language also haha, I understood him a bit too well
We get more connected to animals than people in many instances.
I had one for 19 years, got it right out of college and it died in 2012. At that time, the cat had outlast a lot of girlfriends, jobs, and went with me as I moved from place-to-place.
So I understand how the loss feels.
I feel I got robbed of so much time. I would have been devastated but prepared to lose him if he was an old cat, but he had turner 2 just a few months ago. I was saying so much how I loved him and how special he was, well behaved, lovely... I feel like I jinxed it
Sorry to hear about your cat.
I think I understand that your cat was more like a person then people think.
Animals are so consistently loving and unconditionally so, that their loss is much greater then people without pets think or understand. Their loss can exceed the loss of a person because the love you get from them is so great, so unconditional, so consistent, it's hard for a human to complete.
