Another cat death

I wonder how many more of these I can take.

Orson, Giant Kitty, died at 9:30 tonight. He had kidney failure.

Here’s how stupid I am: We got home from the vet and I was crying, so what did I do? Though I was crying over his death, I went to the living room and called for him. How in the fuck is he supposed to comfort me now?

I am filled with completely pointless rage.

Not stupid at all. :frowning:

:frowning:

Always, always tough when your cats die, I know. Sorry to hear the news, jsgoddess. Orson had one hell of a loving owner and companion in you.

:frowning: My condolences on having lost your friend.

I am very sorry for your loss. I hope happy memories will bring you some peace.

All the fuzzbutts are getting extra scritches tonight in memory of Orson.

I don’t know why I open a thread I know is going to hurt to read.

Condolences aren’t enough, but it’s all I have.

Should even sad cat threads have a cat picture? I don’t know.

He’s here looking cranky.

I’m so very sorry for your loss.
You have my condolences.

I’m so sorry for your loss. :frowning:

I did the same thing for quite a while. Boris and Tasha were raised together from puppies, and when I lost Boris last year, it took a while to break the habit of calling them together. I hope your good memories will bring you solace from your pain.

So sorry for your loss.

The thing about the Dope is that I can rage here. I’ll go to work tomorrow and probably not mention it, or just in passing “Oh yeah, Orson died. Gosh, it’s sad.” And then part of me hates myself for not being willing to cry in public over my cat.

So, thank you, Dopers, for listening.

I’m so sorry to hear about Orson’s passing. There’s nothing wrong with grieving over his passing.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. :frowning:
gives many hugs and a pint of ice cream with a spoon in it, any flavor you want, jsgoddess

:frowning:

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.

It doesn’t matter how long they live, it’s never any easier. :frowning:

hugs

I have an old cat, and I know he’s going to die someday soon, and I’m sure I’ll post about it here when it happens. I’ll be devastated. For now I’ll give him a hug (even though he won’t like it).

Anybody who thinks it’s foolish to grieve over a cat has never loved an animal. It doesn’t really matter that they’re not human. We fall in love with them anyway, and though we may tell ourselves they’re only pets, our heart will accept them as family anyway.

Hang in there.

Tragi-comic, isn’t it? It takes time for reality to fill in the cat-shaped hole in your life, and you find yourself doing all manner of odd things until the brain catches up. But everything sorts itself out in due course.

Sorry Orson had to go and live on the big farm in the sky. :frowning:

I’m sorry for your loss, he looked like a fine friend.

(((((jsgoddess)))))

Oh jsgoddess, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know when we lost Maxx the elder, I looked for him every morning at the foot of the bed.

Be kind to yourself. It’s ok.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose a friend. I understand how you feel about not talking about it at work. I am the same way. When I lost my cat Jasper no one at work knew, heck I didn’t even tell my mom for a week or two. I just wanted to keep her all to myself.
