My cat died today and I feel absolutely horrible. he was one of the few things that gave me genuine happiness. I never realized until now how how much I liked him, I would always find him waiting by the door for me in the morning and I would give him some pats before leaving and sometimes he would follow me to the car, always purring. when I got home today I found him laying there by the door where he would normally be rubbing against my leg before I fed him. I dont know what to do anon, have you ever lost a pet that was dear to you? how did you cope with it?
Yeah having a pet die is always a drag
But another one always finds it's way into your life somehow
I wonder how many cats I've gone through, at least 6 goddamn
That is a really shame my friend. I have lost a dear catto as well. It was my shitty parents' fault. Both times, in fact. I had a cat that became extremely retarded through my mother's mistreatment of him.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, anon. How old was he, what breed and what was his name?

My first cat was an orange cutie and we had him for almost a year. He was an outdoor kitty and was outside all the time. He would bring home huge rats and bugs. One night he didn't come home. It went on for 3 days until we found him dead behind a power box. He was clipped by a car and only a short walk from the house. It was devastating. We buried him in the backyard and grieved for a while. I couldn't walk around my house without getting upset because I would see his scratching post and food bowl still full. I figured the quickest way to forget about such a horrible thing happening to him would be to get another cat. It gave me something to focus on and a chance to get over it.

Hope you learned your lesson and kept this one an indoor cat. With cars, dogs, possibly coyotes, communicable diseases from other cats, and all manner of ticks or parasites, outdoor cats lead a brief and perilous life.

he was four or five, which is why I think it hit me pretty hard. I dont know anything about his breed, I got him as a kitten from a stray that my neibors adopted. I never officially named him, nothing seemed to stick well so I usually would adress him as just "cat"
Do not cry for what is gone, smile for what has been.RIP your cat.
OP here, I apologize for the namefagging, meant to make the post's title "loosing a pet". Im not in the best state of mind right now

I'm here for you. My dog died in early 2015 and it was hard for me to deal with after having him for nearly eight years.
I'm here to talk.

He's kinda stupid and doesn't like to be touched but I just love him so much
I'm very sorry for you senpai
