I had to say goodbye to my best friend 😢

[purpleme12]

I had to put my cat to sleep on Monday 😢
I miss him so much 😢😢😢
He was always with us. I'm so sad
I don't want to do anything. It's so boring and quiet without him. He kept me company. I love him so much.
He loved us so much. He showed us every day.
It's not the same. 😢😢

I’m so sorry for you loss 😢 sending you big hugs and best wishes. Sounds like you have him a wonderful, happy life xx

I miss his little body so much
I don't understand how one minute they're here then the next minute they're gone 😢😢

They really are so precious and bring us so much joy. It is a privilege to share you life with a pet xx

I'm really sorry for your loss and understand how hard it is. My lovely old lady cat was PTS on 02/02. She only went in for an x-ray, but they found she was very ill and wouldn't survive much longer so we made the horrible decision to end her suffering. She was my shadow and just a loving fluffy little soul. We have her son here too and he is all out of sorts.
We had her cremated separately and have just received her ashes back to bury in the garden.

@UnderThePressure I'm so sorry about your little cat as well 😢

I'm so sorry OP, my heart goes out to you. I've been through it several times myself.

I can only say that I feel for you and know the pain, only too well

So sorry @purpleme12 , please talk about your little love and post pictures if you want to, most here have been through something like you are going through, and are here for you to talk if you want to 💐💐💐💐

I'm so sorry 😞 I can imagine how awful it is. I will be going through it soon with my dog and I keep crying. Take comfort in your memories and the fact your lovely cat had such a happy life. I know from losing my parents that grief gets easier to cope with as time goes on. Take care.

I just love him so much

He would come sit on my shoulders in the kitchen like a scarf

He loved to be with you. He'd get in the way of you and the laptop in the kitchen so you'd have to snuggle him close to you ❤️❤️

He'd sleep next to me every night

My other cat isn't like this and I'm really missing him 😢

So sorry you’ve lost your little buddy, it’s absolutely heartbreaking.

I lost one of my cats aged 10, who we had from kittens with his brother. He was a very confident, and a proper cuddle monster whereas his brother was more standoffish. However when cuddle monster died, the brother left behind changed completely! He just has a gentler nature and was probably a bit overshadowed, but he’s more than making up for his time on the sidelines.

Makes me question the idea that cats need to live in pairs, as he’s very much enjoying the sole attention !! Give your other cat, and yourself, some time x

I’m so sorry, it’s just so very sad when they leave us. Take care xx

I'm sorry. Losing our pets is horrible.
They bring such a great energy into a home.

I'm.glad your cat had you to love and care for them and you were their best friend.

Losing them is just the worst. 💐

Thank you ❤️❤️

I had him for 17 years

He cuddled me asleep in my arms before we got him. And cuddled us every day in his later years. He had kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. I gave him the medicine for hyperthyroidism for 4 whole years. We had four more brilliant years with him. He didn't like it but he was no trouble. He had the kidney food when he had kidney disease. He ate that ok. In the end it was nothing to do with the hyperthyroidism or kidney disease. Those results were fine. It was something else in his body 😞

He was just so happy to be with us

I really miss him 😢😢
I'm crying and I don't know what I'm going to do without him 😢😢
He was my baby and made us so happy
And regulated us
I'm so sad 😢😢

Oh OP I’m so sorry. A few years ago I wouldn’t have understood, but since having our girl cat I totally do. When she’s out the house just feels different, if she’s poorly or acting differently the whole vibe of the house is off, I’m dreading the day we say goodbye. No advice but my complete sympathies

I’m so sorry, sending you a big hug and thinking of you x

@purpleme12 could you talk to someone at Pet Bereavement or Blue Cross - they really understand and were such a massive help to me, when I had to have my dog pts.
I was like you. Couldn't stop crying, never known pain like it.
I'm 2 years on - it does get easier 💔

I second speaking to someone from Blue Cross, @purpleme12 .
As the late queen said, 'Nothing can take away the agony of these moments, for grief is the price we pay for love.’
I'm sending unmumsnetty hugs too💐💐💐

I'm really sorry for your loss. I felt the same when my best boy died.

So sorry @purpleme12

Oh @purpleme12 I'm so sorry for your loss 🥺💐

Hi , I’m so sorry for your loss . We had to put our cat to sleep back in January after aggressive cancer in her jaw. It was heartbreaking and I’d never known grief like it . Like you she was super affectionate and was with us all the time she was only 7 years old . Our other cat is just not affectionate at all . We love him of course but we miss our little girl sooo much . Hopefully it will get better with time .

I'm so sorry. After 17 wonderful years together, you must be heartbroken. You gave him the last and best gift you could, of a peaceful ending and escape from pain. When the time is right, he will find a new cat for you, to fill the cat-shaped hole, and send your new friend into your path. That's what all mine have done for me. They know how much we hurt without them.
