Our cat (daughter’s cat) which during Covid lockdown we have kept each other company, is unwell and went into vet hospital on drip etc
I’ve been bawling my eyes out as I miss her and the house feels empty without her curious nature, always checking on me and where I am.

She has a liver problem and has lost weight, so I hope she comes back home soon.

18 years as a part of our lives.

It just sucks that dogs and cats don’t live a longer life 

I miss those critters we have loved as part of our lives.

I think of all the funny little stories...animals are so amazing.

I know Aussie, got the call this morning she passed.
Will miss her.
In less than 2 years my mother, brother, dog and cat have passed.
It feels surreal.

Oh man, that sucks   

Sorry to hear it   

Sorry to hear lols.

Pets are part of the family and their loss is akin to losing a family member

oh I am so sad for you lols.thats a lot to bare
in time you will feel blessed for the love and affection you had and were able to share with your family and your animals....

I have had a profound loss in my life and whilst I cannot see him I can feel him.. maybe I am dreaming I dont know  but I hang on to it   it can be a huge comfort...

Kind sentiments everyone.
Very true Mothra, all so different in their own way, their funny little ways, or annoying little ways.
I am still processing it, today I felt alone, and kept looking around for her.

Agnes, it's so very hard to say goodbye, I find I go into 'denial' that it's going to happen, I tend to just live in the moment, and then when it happens, I feel that emptiness, a kind of void.
Then all those 5 stages of grief take hold.

Cods, I also think that they must be in a different energy and still with us somehow, it's the only way I can accept someone gone, I refuse to believe we just die and then there's nothing.
So many interestingly strange things occurred at after.
One of those things, when mum was laying in the pallative place, even though she was half paralysed from a stroke, she looked over to the side at the end of the bed, and 'waved hello' to someone.
I said to my brother (who was alive at that time) "Mum just waved to someone!" he missed it because he was busy on his ipad whilst I was just sitting there.

There are some interesting things with our pets too when they were departed.
At 2.15 am in the morning (after I had taken the cat to the vet to stay overnight or 2)...I heard her 'meow'.
I was on my iPhone playing candy crush (I can't sleep much of late)...and everything was on silent. I looked around, and thought, gee, that's strange...like as if she was near my seat.
Then the room went suddenly void, like an empty feeling.
I got the call 8.30 am to let me know she had passed away in her sleep during the night.
I asked about what time, they said around about 2 - 3 am.
So it was our little angel cat, coming to say goodbye to me.

I know it might be odd to talk about these things, but I do believe there is a shifted energy of our being, and we take all our life's experiences with us.
What we do with it in the after life.....is anyone's guess.
I hope I am met with my wonderful pets waiting at the rainbow bridge one day, much much later of course.

What do pets/animals teach us...many things, but....not to take anything for granted.

I thnk its lovely of you to share those experiences lols..when my husband died  I  knew before he went to hospital he wasnt well but didnt really worry about it.after he passed 8 days later....I promised myself I would become more aware and believe in my instincts ..and yes its worked many time...most just simple things...like slowing down just before a speed camera comes into sight...

at the moment I cant stop thinking about a 16yr old girl who I fear is mentally abused by her parents..they are Asian and think they are living in Asia....I have finally had to offer my spare room so they can have some respite from each other, her mental state is very fragile right now and both parents very aggressive  I have been told the father has hit her but its mostly verbal...I have had a least 3 teenagers live with me since my kids were at school...all problems to their own....so maybe I attract them I dont know....I treat them as I want to be treated....its not rocket science...they have to my credit all left here better people....sounds like a brag doesnt it...dont mean it to be I dont have a clue how old my two cats are  I am shocking like that but the oldest one follows me everywhere sits on me the minute I sit down in the heat not so good....so I am wondering if thats a sign or not...she doesnt look any different to the day I got her.....like me still young and frisky..

thank you for those kind words lols..I have made an offer but we heard today.. mum and dad will be having a visit from DOCs tomorrow  this as you can imagine is mortifying to both of them  but who knows maybe the authorities will give them a huge wake up lesson..even with the problems the others had with family it never went to DOCs so have no idea what to expect!! they do have 2 other children .. my heart has always been with the children to me the adults should know better

maybe we need a Parents Anonymous somewhere maybe they can go and be shamed by their peers....because it is shameful  its stealing a childs childhood.
