My cat died today, I need hugs and cheering up

Klyka

After coming home late last night after working 5 hours overtime, I just stumble into my bed and doze right off.

Today I wake up and find my cat, the cat that I loved so much, dead.

He wanted to get in the house through a half open window and apparently didn't make the jump and got stuck between wall and window. He must have broken his back or something and couldn't get out. And he died right there,probably screaming for help like hell. But I wasn't there, I was at fucking work,doing fucking overtime. And so he died there, stuck in a fucking window.

I want to just cry like a baby, but I can't do it because I'm at work again.

Fuck this day, seriously.


How do you/did you get over losing a beloved pet guys?

Druhim

oh man I'm sorry
what a terrible way for your cat to go out

zimfan

oh man Kly I'm so sorry

don't really know what to say though, never had a pet

The_Scarab

My cat was hit by a car right infront of my eyes. Few times have I felt so sad and helpless. That t'punk when it hit is the most horrible sound ever.

That's why I dont think I'll have pets again, not living in an urban environment. Maybe when Im older not living in a city.

Orikaeshigitae

that sucks, man. i'm so sorry.

i got over losing my dogs by being really sad for about a week. i still get attacks of mega-sadness every once in a while.

redhead

that is the worst, klyka, I'm sorry

hugs, dude

Goose!

Poor kitty.

Marshmallow

My cat got his from a coyote. He was living on borrowed time anyway I guess, got attacked by a mongoose when he was a kitten and somehow made it.

He was a real vicious bastard but I miss him.

Rear Admiral Choco

Oh no

Is there any way you can convince them to let you off for a day or so?

That is the worst

I've lost a couple cats, the first one from heart failure and the second to illness

Best way to deal with it I found was to just bury my face in a pillow and cry until I couldn't.

transistorsect

Feel better.

ogcam777

Hugs all day, I know how it feels to lose a pet.

ascot

That is so fucking mean.
I can't believe you didn't cry already.

beavotron

ugghhhhh
big friggen internet hugs for you that is just awful news
and you should cry like a baby, it's better than bottling it up, tell work to fuck off, go take the day, go for a walk, go visit some friends
go cry like a baby
these are things you're entitled to and no one should think less of you for them

all my love duder

Cold Salmon and Hatred

hugging my dog extra hard for you

Burning Organ

Man, extra hugs for you.
I'd probably spend some time being enraged at whatever killed the cat, but this probably won't work well in your case.

Klyka

Thanks guys.

It's hard to keep it in, but I can at least do it until I'm at home.

But fuck,I just remembered something: That cat belonged to my sister once. She loved that cat as much if not more than I do. I can't tell her how he died, it's just to harsh. I'll tell her he's just not coming home anymore.

Man, what a fucking shitty day.

Jimothy

So sorry, dude. That's awful.

I had a cat that got sick and was put to sleep when I was eight. Took me a while to get over it. I don't know what I'd do if one of my current cats died.

Defender

I'm sorry. I lost a dog once, and I had to put a cat down, too. It's hard.

Rampant Entity

Fuck.

That poor little thing. I'm horribly sorry to hear he died, especially like that.

I had a cat whom I loved dearly. It was killed, and although I shudder to think this, probably eaten by an owl that nested near my house.

peteaboda1

It's best to get the crying out of the way early. I've dealt with a death in the family before and just bottled it. Eventually I woke up one day and cried in bed for the morning. Sorry to hear about your cat, that is a terrible way to go .

Tav

My dog died on my first day of school. That was one of the worst days ever.

Hugs duder

Iloveslimes

Sorry for your loss. I was up last night night thinking about a couple of cats that I had. It's hard, but remember your cat fondly and not what happened.

Auntie Shibby

I had a cat that was killed late at night by the dog next door. I heard his screams, I miss Carson so much some days.

Zombiemambo

I've lost a lot of pets in my lifetime, and it's harder to lose them than you might think. Sorry Klyka I'll make sure to pay extra attention to my cat just for you

Kuribo's Shoe

your cat is in Valhalla doing battle and drinking mead for eternity

he is the first cat to be given this honor, you should be proud

Cogliostro

Hey dude... sorry to hear about your kitty.

Erios

My dog died of pancreatic cancer on the last day of Christmas break before I flew back to New York. I remember, in the last month or so of his life, he refused to eat anything normal. So in an effort to stave off his inevitable death, I remember I fed him massive quantities of Dreyer's slow-churned vanilla ice cream. He loved the stuff and ate it up. We still have the gallon of that stuff in the freezer .

Sir Platypus

Man, that's terrible.

I remember knowing that my dog was dying was incredibly worse than when we put him down. He was in terrible condition. His eyes were sunken back and he hardly ever got up.

As great as childhood pets are, it is the worst feeling in the world when they inevitably pass.

the cheat

dude, i would go home. fuck that shit.

that is very sad, sorry for your loss.

what a way to go, poor little guy.

as for getting over it, for me it just takes time. eventually i would get another pet, since there are so many that need homes. they really need to make people register their cats like dogs. it would help with the overpopulation from not getting them neutered. cause, with dogs you gotta pay a buttload of money each year if they are not fixed.

Kuribo's Shoe

this is one of a million reasons why any cat I own will be strictly indoors.

Defender

But what if your indoor cat constantly wants to go outside? I've seen that situation.

darleysam

Oh dude just saw this

That just sucks out loud, and you've got all my sympathies.

Druhim

if you live in an area that's suburban enough, I feel it's worth the risk of something happening to your cat to give it the freedom to come and go as it pleases

yes, it might get hit by a car or eaten by a coyote but he gets to roam around outside as he pleases and come in whenever he wants

redhead

my cat had always been an inside-only cat, but he would escape every chance he got and go frolic outside and be a totally adorable badass

we kept him inside because we were worried about cars and fleas and raccoons and all the normal things like that

when I wasn't home this summer my parents decided to make him an outdoor cat, and when I came home I realized that there was an even better reason not to let him outside that I hadn't even considered until it was too late (trying to keep him inside now that he has been an outdoor cat for a while would just be cruel and would probably not even work)

which is that I hardly ever see him now since he spends most of his time outdoors

it sorta sucks

bowtiedseal

I am very sorry to hear about your cat, klyka


my cat is an indoor cat but she can get whiny, so I take her outside every day while I am home and read or something so she can romp. if she sees me get up she will run to the door and wait for me to let her back in.

the cheat

Yeah, my cat is an inside cat. I take him on the porch, and he's pretty good about not bolting. He never whines to go outside, though. I just assume he would like some fresh air every so often.

yeah, aside from my shitty trailer park not allowing outside pets, I would hate to come home from a hard day's work and not find my adorable little buddy waiting for me.

No Great Name

My year old cat recently was climbing around in the space between the floors of the basement and 1st floor and fell in between the wall. Had to hammer him out.


Still haven't patched the hole.

Hacksaw

Jesus Christ I am sorry to hear that, Klyka. /Hugs, and then some.

I still haven't really gotten over the death of my first dog. I mean, I can think about him without crying or whatever, but if I really start to dwell on it I get all depressed and mopey. Pets dying sucks.

Auntie Shibby

My current cat is an indoor/outdoor cat. He has free will on if he wants to go outside(doggy door). He's pretty annoying during the day, but at night he's such a fucking cuddlebug. He might be annoying, and cross-eyed but he's pretty awesome when he wants to be.

Winston isn't as playful as Carson, but he makes up for it with cuddling.

Auntie Shibby

Also, My dog isn't going to die. He might be 8 years old and has an occasional seizure here and there, but he's a champ and is going to live for a lot while longer.

Moriveth

Damn dude, that sucks.

I'm not looking forward to my cat dying.
