Love your baby HARD but know that that pain you feel is the most beautiful pain you will ever feel bc what you’re feeling is love.
That's so true... Thank you for your kind and comforting words. On my side, I have the tendency to tear up when I think of him, I guess time will heal, and I will smile very soon... time heal everything...
being a good owner means making that terrible decision for them.
That is something I had hard time to accept... the moment I took the decision was hard, the last time he say goodbye to his friend, the last time he walk in the house, the last time he comes on the bed to wake us up, the last time... of everything... damn I'm writing this now and I start to see things blurry... I guess the recovery will take time for me.
Anyway, thanks for your kind words, all these messages were so amazing....
Thank you for sharing your touching story. They are not dumb indeed, they are definitely an integral part of the family, and they don't need to speak to be understood and to give love.
Thanks for your comforting words, I wish your cat many years ahead, my mother's cat lived almost 19 years.
Our relationships with them are a gift.
That's so true... Izumi impressed me every single day of his life, and I really consider my time with him as a gift.
Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words... I won't be the same indeed, but I guess that's part of growing up means...
Indeed... it's especially poignant when flipping through the family album on the TV, noticing he appears in nearly every photo, a constant presence among us.
Yes, they are more than just animals; they are so intertwined with us that they become, to some extent, extensions of ourselves!
Yes definitely, I don't really want to have another one right now even if cats are parts of my life since the beginning... weird feeling, but I don't want to go against it, time will heal.
Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words.
Definitely, yeah. Thank you for your kind comment.
Thank you for sharing your story and your comforting words. I'm not the only one, and it's comforting to see that I was not the only one to feel what I feel. TBH, I discovered a part of myself I didn't know, I didn't know I was so sensitive. The phrase "Grief is the price we pay for love, so cry as hard as you loved them and understand they’ll be waiting for you on the other side.", is what I will remind forever, could print it ! The quote from Lewis is also amazing.
I'm pretty sure he discovered a black hole and went too close. What we see there is a cat spaghettification.
