Cats or Dogs!

[Junoo]

still not recovered after my 10 year old cat died before christmas, I took her to the vet 3 times and they couldn't find jack shit but I knew something was wrong

my previous statement was just the grief speaking, and it's making me doubt whether I want to go through it again. human-animal bonds is some serious wizardry

sorry for you lose dude, ive lost 2 cats too :/

it's 'cool' yo, but I still see her in the corner of my eye, peripheral vision still registers any and all ankle height movement as kitty cat, it sucks 'cause I know it's just my in my mind
how long did it take you to 'get over it'?

Dogs! If (nice) pit bulls and dachshunds didn't exist, I'd have to say cats, but they do, an I have 1 of each, and it's amazing :3

Loosing a pet is always a tough thing to go through Feels for you mate

The best way imo to fight grieving is adopting a new little cat.
It will not be the same bond, in my experience every cat has a very different personality, but it helps a lot.

That is a very good tactic

I'll try not to think of it, fat chance of it working out though lol

I knew I'd lose her some day, I just didn't expect it so soon. All other cats in the family have lived for 18+ years, but I saw the signs. she stopped eating and drinking, wanted to cuddle almost constantly for a week, then she became more reclusive and hid under the sofa or inside wardrobes. a couple of days later she started breathing rapidly and heavily, pupils expanding and contracting with each breath.
she must have been in a lot of pain. I took her to the vet, but she couldn't be saved, they said there was nothing I could have done

feels like she was preparing us for the inevitable when she did the cuddle-o-rama for a week, I don't think she wanted to leave

that's what I wanted to do, but I looked up the adoption registry, and...

I just want them all lol

I feel for your loss, it's losing a friend you might always miss. Never got over my first dog. But I prefer having known him and now giving a good home to others over not having pets.
