My cat just died today

[Fedorgasm]

20 years? That's really good for a cat. That's like a person living to 110.

I think once you get to that age a person (or cat) dies with nothing but gratitude for having gotten so much more than most do.

Not to belittle anyone's grief and pain, but at 20 years old your cat is like a 105 year old human. While it's sad if/when they pass, try not to be too wrecked. It was inevitable by that point.

Focus on the living not the dead. Hit up your local animal shelter and see if there's any rescues that need a home.

RIP Kitty.

I had a cat once. He died when he was only seven. I didn't realize that that he had bladder stones until it was too late.

Sorry to hear. We had to put our cat down about a month ago. He was 14 and my wife had him since he was a kitten. It was rough.

Be happy he lived a long and good life!

Sad news.

But getting new pussy is always exciting.

Sorry to hear this I am so close to my cat and cannot even imagine how I will feel when the time comes.

I am sure your cat had a great life and enjoyed each moment !

I don't venture into these parts often but I saw the title of the thread and I had to click on it I lost my dog like 2.5 years ago is it already? Damn, still doesn't seem long ago tbh. Very similar circumstances as your cat.

The best advice I've ever gotten about this type of thing is that it feels the worst right now but only time will help heal. You'll always be sad about her last days but time will make things easier. Celebrate the good times, my dog was 15 when he died, we had him since I was just a kid and my brother and I took him with us after hs. He was a great dog and the best thing I can say is that think of the good times. You had 20 years with this one, must be some pretty cool/funny stories. Laugh, cry, celebrate her life and try not to think of the end. There's an end for everyone and everything, life is finite. Remember the good times, know that you gave her a good life and she loved you for it even if she couldn't'tell you she did.

I now have a cat who just turned a year old and even tho it's the first cat I've ever had [my last dog was a male so I got a female cat to get as far as possible from my ole buddy as I could so I didn't feel like I was replacing him]. Cats are fucking weird man, growing up with dogs it took some time getting used to her personality and her scratching my shit up being all catty and shit. But she's great wouldn't give her up for anything She's smart and I know one day it'll be similar to my dog's ending, but that's a longtime from now, hopefully, and it's just the cycle of life. I feel for you and remember think of the good times, try to forget about the end. There are a lot of times before that for you to look back and smile upon.

Anyway hope this helped a lil bit. Sorry bud, RIP to your cat.

I would never be able to be the vet guy who has to put down animals. Dreary ass shit.

 

[jimbob27]

Sorry for your loss dude.

 

[Uptown Swinger]

RIP to your cat bro.
I hope you feel better soon.

I know it's extremely painful right now but you'll get better. My cat passed after I raised her from a kitten to 20 years old. Half of my adult life was spending time with her. I miss her.

 

[oldshadow]

Sorry for your loss.

It's very hard but at least you were there, they deserve that.

 

[CodeBreaker]

RIP to your cat sherbro...

I would feel so much devastated as well just by thinking about my dog passing away.. I don't think I can handle it.

 

[Your Salad]

It always sucks when a loved pet dies. I have lost 3 pets in the last 3 years and the only thing that has helped me is time. 20 years is a great run, be thankful for that and the memories.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

very sad to hear that. RIP.

[Fugazy]
