Our dear little cat died this afternoon in a rather freak accident. She was a bit portly and not very agile and slid off on one of our dining room chairs, she relaxed and flopped and slid off, didn't have time to twist round, landed on her head and broke her neck, one wee scared miaow then she struggled to breathe and was gone. I was with her, she looked scared, it wasn't nice but it didn't last long.
She was 14 but very healthy if a bit fat. My big sons have been sobbing and DS1 has taken to his bed. Jasmine was like a therapy pet for him and really helped him when his mental health had been poor, he's had a tough few years. I'm a bit concerned.
I'm sad too but as a seasoned pet owner im always kind of preparing for their loss, i suppose i dont give 100% of my heart to pets anymore, i keep a little back to protect myself but my children don't.
She really helped my three sons through lockdown and loved having them all home.
What a horrible day.
