Rehoming my cat and being very upset

[Katie0204]

Hey everyone!
I had to make a very had, probably the hardest decision in my life..😢 I had to rehome my beautiful 3,5 years old ragdoll cat because of his behavior towards to our child. The cat came first and the kid was born 1,5 years later. That's when he changed, of course it was a big change in everyone's life. Our baby got older and as he enteres the toddler stage he was more interested to our fluff ball which is understable but the cat didn't love him as much as the kid loved him. This was heart breaking to see, he hurted our child many times and he hurted me many times ever since the kid was born.
We tried so many ways and things to make it work but unfortunately it didn't work 😢 A few days ago we took him to Cats protection and I am depressed ever since. I know it was the best choice for the kid and the cat too, the cat definitely wasn't happy here any more and if I know right, Cats protection will find the best place for him to go, where he can be happy.
My brain tells me I did the right thing even this was hard and I am heart broken ever since...😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢
I am looking for some advices how to deal with this kind of grief because all I feel atm is 💔💔💔😭😢
Thank you for any kind words 😢🩷

You've done the best thing for your cat. CPL are very rigorous in their homing checks, and a Ragdoll will be popular so they'll be able to find the right home for him.

There'll be someone right now with a cat-shaped hole in their heart waiting for your boy to bring them happiness.

Perhaps when your child is older and understands that cats need space, you'll be able to welcome another puss into your lives.
