Yesterday morning (Saturday), we had to put our cat Leahy to sleep. We don't know what happened. I woke up at 4 AM for no reason and he was laying on the floor next to my bed. I picked him up and put him next to me and I realized that he just kind of fell over, so I tried to put him on his feet, but he couldn't stand up and he wasn't meowing at all ( Read more... )

Oh wow Kelly. I'm soooo sorry! I love Leahy so much, and he wasn't even my cat. I can't imagine what you're going through. I've lost two cats to feline leukemia and a guinea pig to jaw cancer, but never an animal I've had for more than a few years. I can't imagine what I'd do if I lost Clyde. I'm soooo sorry that happened. I wish I was there and could give you a hug and tell you it'd be alright tomorrow, but I'm not and I can't and it won't be. Like everything, it'll heal with time, but time sucks...so yeah.

Until then, I'll be back the 26th of December and we can get wasted and cry and watch movies with cats...or hot guys in them. I love you.

Thanks Chelsea. I know it takes time. I just wasn't prepared, which in my opinion makes it so much worse. It's almost like, I was prepared to lose Rockne cause he's 14 and the average age of cats is like 15, so I always thought we'd lose Rockne first, so it's all just shock. I still can't believe he's gone. I feel much better today than I did yesterday though.

And yeah, we'll go get Irish Wakes when you get back here. Can't wait to see you!

Thanks Jenn. I know I just need time, but time seems to move so slow at times like this. I mean, it's been two days, but I keep feeling like it was this morning and ahhhh. Anyways, when are you back in town for Christmas break?

aww, kel! I'm so sorry to hear about Leahy, since we just lost Bear I'm kind of understanding how you're feeling. I still expect to see Bear every time I walk in the house, and I even got a new dog that I accidently call Bear all of the time. All I can say is that it gets easier! You won't stop missing your cat, but you will stop being so sad about it. It's so hard to let a pet go, I especially felt guilty because we had to put Bear to sleep, but it's much better than watching them suffer!

I hope you start feeling better soon! It's ok to miss a pet as much as you would a person, because they were a part of your family too!

I thought about you guys because I knew you just recently lost Bear. And yeah, I still expect to see Leahy when I go home sleeping in his favorite spot, but everytime I look, he's not there and I start crying all over again.

Thankfully, I've only cried about twice today, which is a big improvement, so I know it'll get better eventually. Thanks for the encouraging words.

kelly, i'm so sorry. it's really tough losing pets. As everyone has already said, you just need time. But in the meanwhile, maybe try to think about how he's not suffering anymore. I really hope that you feel better and I'm sorry for your loss.

I do try to think about how we didn't want him to suffer, but the day before we lost him he seemed just FINE, which is why I think it's so hard for me to grasp that there may have been something wrong with him. =/ Thanks for the encouraging thoughts.
