We've only just begun looking but looking everywhere aside from breeders, definitely set on getting a rescue. We get the sense this dog is cat friendly since he's lived fine with one before but he doesn't at the moment and each cat/dog is different. I'm definitely going to pay attention to how I...

Thanks for your answer. He is on a raw diet I think. But they're mostly referring to him stealing food! It's from private owners, I'm not sure we could take him back but we're going to find out this weekend. I get the feeling we can tho, they know we'll have to see how he goes with our cat

I have a 7 year old orange cat and we recently lost a senior cat. We want another pet and thought this might be a good time to try a dog. I havent had a dog since I was a kid though. Anyway, as we start to find dogs we think might be a good fit, the more terrified I get. We are going to go look...

This is really helpful. I do feel like my brain was almost blocking me feeling or thinking of her because I had been suck a wreck. But today something got triggered and the grief is there again

I was thinking maybe that was part of it too. While she wasn't dying or actively sick for most of her life, the past two years we needed to take extra precautions with her because of IVDD and there were many "scares." I knew my time was increasingly limited

I've posted on here recently about my cat passing, thanks everyone for the support and words of advice. It's only been just over a week. The first week I was wreck, breaking down crying and feeling empty and lost. But this week I feel oddly normal and it's really bothering me. I feel so...

this was really special and brought tears to my eyes

That is so sweet about the candle :) And you are right, i saw some things today that i think might be something. Also, I know she was just cremated about an hour ago. An hour before that, I went on a walk. I saw this bright yellow plant hanging out from some bushes. It stuck out to me cause it...

Wow that so amazing. ❤️

First I’m so sorry you had to go through that :( and that’s an interesting theory. More confoeting than how I was feeling. And sorry, I should have clarified, my cat hasn’t been cremated yet. She was meant to be today but they haven’t confirmed :/ we just went there to say goodbyes.

I'm not sure how many believe in signs from your pets but I do after losing my first cat five years ago. The day after my cat was cremated, I saw the light open up in the sky in a way I hadnt before and started finding white feathers in weird places. But cutting to present day, I'm so devastated...

So true. I think she had stage 2 for over a year, and kicking myself that we didn’t prepare more. Now I’ve learned it can be a crash rather than a slower progression. I have another cat and definitely will get him on supplements like kidney support gold early

Amazing and yeah, you just never know how a cat will cope. The cat I had before was a miracle cat too snd I was hoping for another miracle

That’s exactly it, I was hoping for a rebound. It breaks my heart thinking how strong she was and how much she was holding on

Thanks so much for this. You’re right I’d be kicking myself either way
