She was the cutest tailless cat ever, but yeah my brother informed me today that she fought another cat and didn't make it. I am pretty devestated, like we got that cat when me and him where living with my mom and I saw that cat grow from kitten to cat before moving out, and then was still always excited to see her when visiting there. But yeah I guess she got in a fight with a larger cat hanging around and that cat killed her. So, well probably just to feel better about it my brother suggested she is in valhalla now and I agreed with that.

But yes I am grieving a cat, and it is more difficult than any deaths I've had in the family, but probably just because I had a better bond with that cat than some of the elder relatives of mine who have died.

Thanks for the condolences, I feel a little better, got to spend a bit of time with some of the cats at work so that was comforting. But I really am going to miss that cat.

Just, wish I could have seen her again, and had her ignore me and act butthurt for a while if I pet one of the other cats first and then when I am not looking come up and mew at me for pets.

I’m sorry for your loss. When my cat died I was quite emotional. I get it. Glad you are feeling better.

Uhh still can't seem to quite get over it, just crazy how sad I am over this cat. I did go down to my brothers place that weekend and saw where he buried her and I got a bottle of mead and also one for my brother, so we reminisced about her and it was nice, but still I just am so sad I'll never get to see that cat again.

Idk she was a cat but also kind of like a little bear, with her lack of tail I figure I will never forget that cat. And she did have a good life. I just think the only cure is getting a cat of my own, but it won't be an outside inside cat, perhaps inside cat plus taking it out on a leash. Because yeah truth be told if she hadn't been an outside/inside cat and just an inside cat that would have never happened.

I would have one already but in the current place it would raise the rent 500 dollars and they are already probably going to raise the price on our rent anyways. So basically I can't afford to have a cat right now, but I do wish I had one because I think having a cat would help my mental health. And I just really love cats idk they are like the best animal.

I get it, I lost two degus in a matter of months, f**k this life :(

Hope you manage to get a new one soon, we got two new ones (to cheer up the former one, after the first one, that is, his brother died), and they help somewhat.

I'm sorry, sweetleaf. My husband is declining in a nursing home, and my two cats mean the world to me with their funny behavior and their affection. Cats are very healing, for those who know how to interact with them.
