Amazing! I love signs. They were clear definite signs to. In honor of my cat of 14 years I began volunteering at a shelter and fostering feral kittens was the first time I felt any better, like I might make it. I am so relieved to hear you have taken steps to move out of grief and into some...
So stressful! Thank goodness for mama cats. I thought I did mention that I TNRed dozens of cats and the kittens were all adopted out. There are a few new males but no females to my knowledge.
Thanks everyone for the advice. I do not live in the neighborhood and there is an aggressive feral cat hater that is totally against me feeding them. She told me to let Mother Nature take its course and if they can't survive, that's life. There are only 2 cats that will come out in the...
Where I feed are 2 different places, a block away from eachother. These ferals depend on me but mostly only come out after dark. I feed 4-5 next to a park and 7-8 in a kind old man's back yard. His neighbors are not so kind and do not want anyone feeding the ferals. I have been feeding after...
Hang in there! You are still traumatized. Nothing I have to say will make you feel any better but in time you will be able to focus on the love and happy times you had together.
So so sorry for the pain you are going through. What a gift to be able to hold Mickey in your arms and express your love in the end. Heartbreaking but so special.
The sad thing is without an autopsy you may never know the absolute truth. Your cat may have been dying anyway and there may not have been anything any Dr could do. Cats hide their illnesses as long as they can and by the time they show you symptoms they are usually very ill. I thought my...
Sounds very familiar. Although, I never would have been able to exercise so you are doing better than I was. I did think I would die of grief or dehydration from all the sobbing. My boyfriend went for really long walks in feet of slush and snow and freezing temperatures to deal with his grief...
So sorry for your loss. She was beautiful and adorable. I volunteer at an animal shelter and our CH cats/kittens are always the sweetest most determined cats. Hope you can find comfort in sweet memories.
You are traumatized, I have been there. I am there right now. You are not alone. In time you will be ok. For now, let it all out. My best friend Calvin was 14 when he got cancer and I had to put him down to end his suffering. I didn't talk to anyone for 2 weeks, cried myself to sleep, awake. Do...
Sad. I didn't have the opportunity to be at the vet with him as I caught him late night, the ACO said she would get him into the vet for me and although, I was his caretaker, I was not given choices just told he was put down. I wish I was there with him at the end. :( I'll never know except...
