Cats thread (& other pets)

[SisterNightroad]

I agree with everyone up. It's hard when you lose a pet because they're a member of your family, almost like a child since you do have to take care of them and we end up investing a lot of affection and bond strongly with them. That's particularly true if it's our first animal or an animal that accompanied us for long during our life.
Since you can't re-adopt another right away and maybe you still don't feel ready, try doing some little charity work with animals to help you during your grieving. Even if there's not a shelter near your house, you can help stray cats in your neighborhood. Me and my family (as well as other families) have arranged some sheltered beddings for stray cats and bring them food.
I assure you that even when you''ll have another pet it won't tarnish the memories you had with Buttons, I think none of us have forgotten even slightly any pet we had.
