Dealing with the lost of a pet….

[CGB]

*HUGS!* I know what you're going through. I lost my Junior in 2022. Out of all our cats, he thought I was his the most ... constantly by my side, a spot in my recliner, a pillow over my head in bed.. he was my heart. He'd been a stray that stayed and became the rock for the other young kitties we took in. When that time came, I struggled because I knew it was beyond time but I couldn't bear to lose him. And bless his heart... he held on, purred and nuzzled .... everything he could to make me feel better. When I couldn't ignore the deed anymore, I spent the whole day with him. Afterwards, I cried and cried and my heart physically hurt from his loss. I missed him everywhere.

Later, I realized Junior would have put up with all the pain in the world to have made me feel better. Looking back, I realized I held on too long. It's so hard and my heart goes out to you. You'll know when its time; I pray you'll be able to accept it. And your heart will know when you see the next little kitty for you.
