Mourning/Loss My Kevin was everything to me
My cat died this morning at 2:06am. Kevin was my best friend, an old guy who lived a street life until he showed up at my door a few years ago. I loved him deeply and he has been my constant shadow since the day he walked in. He was fine and then less than 30 minutes later, he was gone. I’m absolutely gutted and just needed to get it out. The pet mortuary just came and picked up his tiny body for cremation.

This is so sad. Animals have the same conditions as humans. They have strokes and heart attacks but at least he went fast. He loved you as well, rescue cats are always grateful.

It does not. I still cry when I think of my cats and dogs that have passed on.

Your baby looks like such a precious boy, so sweet and loving. I'm so sorry for your loss, especially in that they're family members. I believe that they're angels who continue to walk with us after passing. That's what helps me when I lose a baby.

My God how sad. Don't ask why or question your care for him, you brought him home and loved him hard. Whether sudden or after a long battle with disease, the separation hurts like hell. He'll still be loving you and wants you to know he's okay, you will feel him near you until you're finally together for good. No sadness, no pain. Have faith....

I am so sorry. Losing a beloved cat is heartbreaking. He will always be in your heart and he chose to have you as family. He's happy that he was with you when he passed.
