My kitty just died

Kittens were the most sacred creatures in ancient Egypt; and will be again in America in the near future!

You could not give me a trillion dollars to harm one hair on kitten's precious head!

I understand. I lost my 9 year old boy "Tink" last month. It starts to get little better as time passes.

I'm sorry OP.

Losing a pet is tough!

She was very ill when I brought her, already close to death. And they let me see her after she died. Private cremations are more expensive because the ashes are of just your pet. The cheaper option is when they are cremated with other pets, and you don’t receive any ashes. I just learned about that last part, of I could do it over again, I would have brought her home, and found a company to do a private ceremony. This way is much more traumatic, it’s like she was ripped from my life.

I am so sorry OP !

Plus, the vet was all young people. I just feel they weren’t that compassionate for some reason. Maybe freaked out from working during Covid19. I’m going to find an older, more mature vet next time. I am absolutely devastated. I want my ol’ Bo back.

No kitties don't go to heaven YET.. not until they reincarnate and have a human LIFE... One day.. yes. AFTER a HUMAN BRAIN.

Just find a vet that you get a good vibe from. I have known older vets who have manhandled the animals almost to the point of injuring them. Word of mouth is key. Find someone who praises a vet and then go to them telling them about the praise.

Unless every time you open your deck door and then she runs out and jumps on the roof of your 4plex side by side condo...and then won't come down! I really thought about harming hairs every 50 times that happened but a fresh can of food and a ladder worked every time!

So sorry for your loss. I hope it did not involve suffering.

As owner of cats since more than 20 years ago I have undergone the loss of several and it always its heart wrenching. I understand you must be devastated.

so will my other cat is sniffing around for Bo, I'm thinking she misses her too, they were playmates, from the same litter.

I NEVER let kitty out of the house in 18 years; the thought of her being run over a car would be unimaginable horror!


I love little kitten her coat is so warm..

Well; y'all know the rest; lol.

Me too. If she suffered she sure did keep it under wraps. I think she was silently suffering, which kills me. She was dying a whole day before I took her in. I just didn't know it was that serious she just looked like she wasn't feeling to well, and sleepy, she slept 12 hours a day anyway so I did it wrong. I feel guilty about it. I wish she had been more vocal, because as soon as I heard her meow in the car, I knew she was deathly ill. Never heard a meow like that.

what gives you this idea/??

In fact I always said to Mommy and daddy; don't let kitty escape!

Daddy loved kitty very much; he would get down on the floor with her and always said; "she knows I am her father"

He was very kind to her and all of us.

Oh lovey, I'm sorry. I know the loss of a fur friend, and it's brutal...


Ya know, we never understand why a young child goes so soon, either...to give you some perspective. We just don't understand....do we even understand why we have to die at all, at any age? It's befuddling.


Give yourself some time, and try to let go of the why of it, because it's done. The pain does lessen....

Thank you so much, I feel so at fault, I could have brought her in a day earlier. I've been crying all day, and my house is not the same, she was loving caring cat, full of emotion. The quick way she left, and the handling of her body at the vet, has been traumatic, why didn't tell me I could take her home? I only got to see her for maybe 20 seconds? Things move too fast, why couldn't they let me spend time with her..everything is so rush rush, but they had stupid social distancing protocols in place too, made the visit paranoia.

From a cat owner and lover.. really sorry for your loss friend. Hang in there when your ready adopt a kitten allow your love for that animal to heal your loss...

it wasn't a cat actually. it was a baby robin that somehow found its way into my place. probably about 5 days old. i gave her all my time, even having to order worms to feed her. i gave her mango strawberries, bluberries. fed her and showed her to the parents everyday when they came to my yard looking for her.
after about 3 weeks she was flying short distances but always came back to the house and hang out and get fed. i have a little fenced in area i grow lettuce in that the birds can't get to and i let that be her house in the day. the nights were cold and rainy so i brought her in to sleep indoors.
we would chirp back and forth to each other.

it rained all day sunday so i had her inside. but for a little bit it stopped raining so i brought her outside and looked to find worms for her. at first she flew to her house and i went to find worms. i looked away for a second and when i looked back one of my dogs got her. it was the worst. i still feel so sorry for and to the bird. it was too late by the time i noticed. it was ugly. i buried her outside my door and planted some mint there.

in another week she was probably going to be fully on her own. it was all such a waste. i wanted to kill my dog but i didn't. still having a hard time forgiving him though, i think he was jealous of it. she was just a baby.

ooops, sorry for the wall of text.

here she is [link to thumbsnap.com (secure)]

Lovey, it's all very fresh right now and you're very raw. You've got to give yourself some time....and some kindness.

Please don't blame yourself. You did what you thought was right in the moment....

Know your kitteh is out there somewhere....years after my girl passed a pet psychic was on board. She said my Easter kitty was flying around the universe like Superman helping people....and that would be just like her. She was a very, very special cat.


You're just going to cry, and that's okay. Let it happen...and seriously, start being kinder to yourself. You're kitteh is going to be fine wherever she's going to land.


My heart to yours....

The Ancient Egytians worshipped cats. Anyone who killed a cat was quickly executed.

Cats are magical beings. They are the Masters of Astral Projection and Teleportation. The Ancient Egyptians knew this and said "Cats Could Walk Between Worlds"

WRONG.

GHOST CATS are real.

They can cross back and forth from our Physical Dimension and in and out of the Astral Afterlife as they choose.

Cats are actually very advanced beings and have incredibly string energy fields.

They will literally force a Demon/Negative Spirit out of a house or building.

CATS ARE YOUR BEST SPIRITUAL PROTECTION :)

Yes!

And Bast was the Great Cat Goddess!

I am so happy someone recalls the Sacred History!

*Smiles Happily*

So Sorry, OP.

I'm so very sorry, it's never easy losing one of our fur babies...they give us so much love and ask so little in return.

My heart breaks for you! I have a 4 year old siamese male who was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia Virus 18 months ago - we are still dealing with it, some days better than others, and I know that one day I, too, will have to say 'until we meet again' and I honestly don't know how I'll ever make it through that day.

My heart just goes out to you - I am so sorry. You'll be in my prayers tonight.

Sorry Op,

I buried a cat less than a month ago.

She was a stray that we found in our garage 4 winters ago. She was declawed and crotchety up until the last year. She became the most affectionate animal we have and I did everything I could, including holding her right up until her last breath.

My mom always used to say we get all our pets back in Heaven. I'm going to have quite a wonderful herd there waiting to greet me. I'm sure you will too.

I truly believe this. My kitty was doing great happy and healthy - but I took him in for rabies vaccine because we moved and I was afraid he'd go out into the yard and get bitten by a squirrel or rat - they talked me into the FELV vaccine - one month after receiving the FELV vaccination he suddenly has FELV. They spent a lot of time trying to calm me down explaining why it was impossible for it to have happened. My kitty had been indoor only cat and never met another cat except when he was a baby when I adopted him.

WRONGO, outdoor cats have a much shorter lifespan then indoors only. My first indoor outdoor cat lived 19 years, my second cat currently is 18. She goes outside occasionally on a leash and sometimes on her catio, the sun is blocked, which sucks but white cats are very prone to skin cancer. She’s just starting to slow down and show her age this past couple mouths, so your theory is incorrect. If you want your cat to have a long happy life, don’t let them outside unattended, if they get a disease from a diseased cat or cat fight, run over by a car, or eaten by a coyote, that is on YOU

Sorry for the loss of your kitty, they are members of the family too!!
