Broken hearted

[Bfragale]

I sit here with tear filled eyes and an empty feeling that I can’t seem to shake. I can’t speak with out breaking into tears. I can’t Type either. I never realized how a cat can touch my heart so much. Bianca was born here and has been my friend and comfort for over 9 years. Today she lost her battle with liver disease. I never thought this would hurt so much. It’s 3:30 am and I can’t sleep. Can’t think. Just needed to express this, didn’t know where else to do so. This cat knew when I was upset and would come comfort me. She would greet me when I got home, walk me to the door when I leave and meow for a quick rub on my way out the door. She would chill and watch Netflix with me. She loved the smell of “California smoke” when ever it was around. She would follow me to the kitchen every day just to ask for a snack and would sit on command (only if you have a snack in hand) she would come when you call her like a dog. Her sweet temperament was like no other cat I’ve known. Life will be different without her. She has been there for me through some rough times- even if she didn’t know she was... Some may say it’s odd or silly to get so attached to a cat- but I feel like I lost a family member today.

Hi. So sorry for your loss. I know the feeling all to well. It hurts because we love them and they give that love back. I had to put Tanner down a year ago last summer. He was a puggle that became diabetic and went blind, after 2 years he also had cancer. It took several days before I started feeling better, but I still miss him and visit his resting place out in our woods often. Hang in there, it gets better I promise, happy memories are the best medicine...now I am tearing up remembering happy moments with him as I write this...

Thanks for making me tear up at work...

Sorry for your loss bud. I struggle just thinking about when I lost my dog and just feeling empty for a while. She likely lived a fantastic life as you sound like a compassionate and loving person. Deep breaths and focus on the positive memories.

A pet is a family member and the loss hurts very much! I’m so sorry to hear your little fur baby has passed. Praying for you.

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.
Its never easy losing one our furry, feathered or even finned family members. She was a beautiful kitty and judging by the look on her face in the pictures, she was very much loved and she knew it.
Try to focus on all of the wonderful memories.
Thoughts and Prayers are going out to you and your family in this tough time.
Rest Peacefully Bianca!

Sorry for the loss.
I had a cat with a similar personality. Someone poisoned it a few years back. It was very hard to deal with.
Only time will heal the loss but a new cat will help ease the pain.
By getting a rescue cat you will be helping it as much as it will help you.
I know I have 3!
Hang in their pal.

Sorry, buddy. It’s always hard losing an animal. The bond between man and animal is so much more intricate. My condolences.
