1. I hope it was peaceful

Very hard to lose a pet/family member.

[sakabatou]

6. We don't know

The most likely cause was something he ate.

[Fla Dem]

60. So it was sudden. No time to prepare. So Sorry.

[sakabatou]

63. Well, he went missing for about two days and afterward, I knew he was acting weird

he stopped eating and drinking and was really lethargic. Part of me wants to blame my parents for not listening to me/not going to the vets sooner.

[PoliticAverse]

2. Sorry for your loss. n/t

[janterry]

3. I'm so sorry

[dewsgirl]

4. I'm very sorry, incredibly difficult losing a pet.

[RandomAccess]

5. Oh no! How awful.

My sincere condolences.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

7. Dont be sad, hell be waiting for you on the other side.

And if my cats are not in heaven, I want to go where they went…

[MontanaMama]

8. Please accept my condolences

for the loss of Scoutie. So very hard to lose a beloved fur baby.

[demmiblue]

9. I'm so sorry that you lost your furry friend.

So very painful.

May you soon find some solace in the good memories.

Scoutie.

[applegrove]

10. So sorry.

[hlthe2b]

11. I am very very sorry, sakabatou

As one who has lost their share of beloved dogs and cats, I can really appreciate the loss. I hope when you have had a chance to grieve (as well as to celebrate the life of your dear Scoutie), you will come to a point where you might offer a loving home to another.

[sakabatou]

13. I'm trying to distract myself

We only had him for about a year or two.

[hlthe2b]

16. My own way of coping is long walks listening to music in an area

where I won't encounter too many people if I feel like crying... A few weeks of those long walks can go a long way toward healing. I also carried a little lock of my last pup's hair with me in a little locket on those walks. Made me feel like my sweet "guardian angel" was still there with me.

May happier memories move to the forefront.

[DarthDem]

17. That's a Wonderful Idea

Thanks for sharing that. Walks are fantastic.

[Laffy Kat]

12. Oh no, sakabatou.

How horrible, especially since if you weren't expecting it.

[sakabatou]

15. We knew there was something wrong beforehand.

[blm]

33. : (

so hard when they are such a big part of our daily lives

[sakabatou]

34. Especially the good pets

Scoutie was.... okay.

[Stuart G]

35. Sorry for your loss

[sakabatou]

36. UPDATE: We're checking out for new cats right now

We did visit one today, but she didn't seem to fit quite right with those I live with :/

[shenmue]

37. Sorry for your loss. Hope you will adopt.

[sakabatou]

41. We'll find the right one sooner or later.

[3catwoman3]

38. Scoutie - what a cute name.

And much too short a time together. I have had some cats who were only with us for 2-3 years, and one who made it to 20. I grieved them all.

You sound like me, in that you are already looking for a successor. I know everyone is different, but for me, the only balm to the sorrow of a departed kitty is to find a new one ASAP. It kind of feels as if the love for the cat who has left is just floating around with no one to attach to and needs a new anchor.

Our vet once told me that it was in no way disrespectful to bring a new critter into your life soon after losing one - he said it was the best way to honor the departed friend by offering your loving home to someone else who needs one.

You will know the right one when you find each other.

[Upthevibe]

39. I'm so sorry.....

........my thoughts are with you..........

[3catwoman3]

40. I think you meant this post to be...

...for sakabatou.

[sakabatou]

43. It's okay

[sakabatou]

42. Well, I can usually tell by how a cat acts towards me

and it also helps when the people at the pound also recommends certain ones.

[yardwork]

44. I'm so sorry.

[sakabatou]

45. UPDATE: Got a new cat!

Her name is Tabitha (Tabby). Will post pictures in the future.

[irisblue]

46. Yes!!👍❤🎉🎆❤

[sakabatou]

47. Here she is

[onecaliberal]

53. Hes a cutie. Im sorry...

[3catwoman3]

54. Welcome to Tabitha.

How old is she?

[sakabatou]

58. 8 months?

Less than a year.

[CottonBear]

61. Shes a cutie! I had a little brown tabby named Tabitha too!

I miss my little, deaf Tabitha kitty. She lived to be 17 1/2.

I hope that you and your Tabitha have a great life together!

[sakabatou]

62. That's longer than any cat I've owned.

[Paula Sims]

48. I am so sorry

May Scoutie be playing with my Missy and Gypsy

[sakabatou]

49. TBH, my new cat is much better than him

[hibbing]

50. Hang in there n/t

[raging moderate]

51. He had many happy times with you.

All those happy times were with him when he died.

Love is eternal. You will be with him again.

[PunksMom]

52. Awe...Im so sorry

[Generic Brad]

55. You poor dear!

I've suffered through two losses like that myself. It is always difficult losing your best friend. I hope you are holding up OK.

[sakabatou]

59. I am. It's better with my new cat, Tabitha

[smirkymonkey]

56. So sorry for your loss.

I know you must be heartbroken.

[Doodley]

57. I am very sorry, I know how heartbreaking it can be. Cats have such unique personalities.

They really are members of the family like dogs.

[ProfessorGAC]
