You hear a crash in the next room and tense but then realise no, that's not the cat

They've left you with a few fleas and a huge vet bill (their last will and testament)

You won't ever see their mischievous little face again

Won't hear them purr or yowl

Litter tray doesn't need to be cleaned

Won't ever get head butted or nibbled again

No random vomit

No little one curled up next to you

No mad dash to intervene with neighbouring cats to break up fights

No fraught vets trips

Ahh, Lobster it hurts this much because she was loved so much. It will get easier, but you’ll never forget her.
There’s a cat shaped hole in your heart. It’s early days but when the time is right you could consider giving a home to one of the many cats or kittens needing one. He or she wouldn’t replace your lovely girl but would be something to pour all that love into.

Papergirl1968 I think I'm just really confused. I assume they meant she had cancer (nodules) but couldn't take it in properly as I was expecting them to say she would be ok with treatment and just got upset and didn't ask any questions.

People on here have been really kind and I'm very grateful for that. She was a lovely little beast and very much loved, I wouldn't get another cat again for a while.

You do really learn so much on here about how you should take care of cats, I think I failed a little

You’ve nothing to blame yourself for.
If you’re confused, I’m sure the vet would be happy to explain it to put your mind at rest. It’s not surprising you couldn’t take it in at the time.
