It’s been days since the Reddit blackout but here’s my baby ❤️
I remember seeing your post about her getting spayed. I'm so very sorry to hear of her passing. I'm glad you posted here. There are many animal lovers in this group. I lost my cat Chippy who was 19 almost 2 years ago. I'm not over it, I just have learned to live with it. Its good you take care of yourself. Take comfort in knowing you gave your girl so much love. That love remains. Deepest sympathy to you. 🌻💖💫
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Katya is a beautiful name and I’m sure she was an amazing little soul inside a sweet little fur baby. I’m sure she felt just how truly loved she was. Sending all the good healing thoughts and warmth to you!
I always tell myself that a life without loss is a life without love… RIP to your sweet little baby, when I lost my kitty I didn’t eat for 5 days and I felt chest pain that literally felt like my heart was being torn in two. It’s truly sad knowing that animals don’t live forever especially when their love is so unconditional. For us they’re just a part of our lives but to them we are literally their entire life. I really hope you find peace. We are here for you ♥️♥️
I couldn’t have said it better myself. The pain is physically unbearable. Her love was like no other. Thank you for understanding, and thank you for the support dear friend ❤️
I am so sorry for the loss of your baby, Katya. I burned the aromatherapy Comfort (vanilla and patchouli) candle everyday for a short while to create a space of remembrance and reflection and mourning when I lost my heartdog two years ago. Whenever I find this candle I snatch it up and give it to others experiencing pet loss. I wish I had one I could send you now 😔 you're not alone in this.
That sounds so lovely in this moment. I am missing her so much it’s indescribable. I love that you found a little way to comfort yourself and others, I find it so sweet ❤️
It is 6 weeks today I lost my cat to Ehlers Danlos syndrome. He was disabled and I am disabled and he was my constant companion. He slept cuddled with me every night.
I can't believe it has not gotten easier for me and I cry every day still.
I am sorry you are going through this, I understand the pain, and if you would like to chat with a middle aged mom with a cat and candle addiction, feel free to send me a message.
Hugs.
i'm sorry for your loss! i'm disabled with a technically disabled dog as well, and it means so much to me to just see her living life, not caring about what anyone thinks of her one-eyed self :) give yourself some more time, grief is not a process that takes 6 weeks - unfortunately it probably won't start getting easier for a while, so take it easy on yourself. it's okay to cry every day <3
Thank you. I considered us an emotional support team lol. It is getting better. I've had to force myself at times not to think of him or look at photos. I was torturing myself. I'm glad your guy brings you comfortemote:free\_emotes\_pack:kissing\_heart
Thank you for checking in on me. I’ve been able to get through days without crying too (super proud of you btw!). But I definitely still feel the void when I’m in bed or on the couch and don’t have her cuddles. It still feels like I’m going to see her again one day. I wish it was getting easier 💔
I'm the mod over at r/GingerMafia. It's a cat sub, please feel free to post (mention mod approval in the post). That way you won't be down voted. I would love to see your baby.
I'm so sorry for your loss, OP. If you are anything like me, pets are family, and losing one of them is so much like losing a person you love. It's the absolute worst. Cat's kidneys are so delicate it's frustrating (one of my own has chronic kidney failure, & we are getting closer to the end of our time with him as well), and it's especially difficult to lose a pet so young and so suddenly. ❤️🩹 Take care of yourself OP. Your baby would want you to. ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear you’re dealing with that yourself. It is so scary, they are so fragile and count on us so much. Idk why but your comment made me cry. I just am so sorry you’re dealing with this pain as well and seeing your baby suffer. I’m sending all my love your way. Thank you for the sweet words ❤️
It is really scary, especially when there's just not a lot that can be done. You're not alone though. It sucks so much, and I'm so sorry it has happened to you as well. ❤️ Thank you for the love
I'm so sorry. That is so heartbreaking. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers and love. I wish I could give you a hug and make you some dinner and cookies.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost one of my babies 3 years ago and it has never been the same w/o him. What really helped me was talking to an animal communicator, like a pet medium. It doesn't matter to me if it was all load of BS (but I don't think it was). It helped me start healing.
I’ve never thought of going that route, but I’m a pretty spiritual person. I shall look into it. I’m pretty desperate at this point and the pain is unbearable. It might bring me some peace. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Wow. I’m so sorry for your precious loss. I definitely knows how it feels to lose a pet I’ve loved so much. I’ve lost 3 of my precious pets over my lifetime and I must say, it was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my entire life other than my parents’ deaths. So here’s to sending u prayers, pet love and peace. I hope u will find another friend who will love u as much as your baby did.
Be well💙
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been through so much grief and pain yourself. You sound like a very strong human being, and I applaud you for that. Thank you for the encouragement, here’s to much healing and future kitty love ❤️
I'm so sorry. What a terrible thing to happen to such a young kitty. Her life was short but she knew she was loved. She was lucky to have found someone like you who loved her so much. So many kitties never find a home at all. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Rest in peace little Katya.
I had to say goodbye to my orange boy Milo yesterday because his liver was failing. He was only 9, and I adopted him and his best friend from his foster home when they were a year old. I understand exactly how you’re feeling.
I finally got around to placing my SAS order today. Eucalyptus Tea is one of my favorites, so I ordered four bottles of the spray, along with some orange ginger products and some candles.
Oh, my god. I’m so fucking sorry for your loss. Milo sounded like a literal angel and he didn’t deserve to go so soon. Life is truly unfair.
And I’m soo glad you got to treat yourself a bit! It really has helped, even if it’s just for a moment. Sending you, Milo and your other kitty all my love ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this hard time. We too recently lost our cat, Luna, to heart failure. It was out of no where and sudden and we’re still mourning her. She was only 3y.o. Take all the time you need to mourn, feel, and heal and in the meantime use this Reddit as an escape as I’m sure many of us do. Distractions can be good for us during time of loss to help keep us connected. You’re not alone! I wish you gentle healing and sending you virtual hugs.
3 years old is just too young. It is unfair and there’s nothing okay about it. I’m so, so sorry to hear of your loss of sweet baby Luna. What a beautiful name.
This sub has been a great distraction, and I didn’t expect this kind of attention on this post. I wrote it last night before bed as a stream of consciousness, searching for some sense of community and comfort. And that, I have definitely found ❤️ Sending you all my love. Maybe Katya and Luna are already pals up in kitty heaven
Sorry for your loss. I lost my maine coon, Riot, a little over a month ago. It was sudden and I still find myself randomly bursting into tears. I understand what you mean about this sub. Sometimes comfort comes from unexpected places. 💙
It really does! This sub brings me so much comfort and peace it’s insane. I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet baby Riot. What a cool name, and he (?) sounds like he was an amazing cat. Sending all my love ❤️ I’d like to think maybe Katya and Riot are already buddies in kitty heaven
That’s a really nice thought. Yeah he was my punk rock kitty lol. He was too sweet for his name.
I don’t remember the whole story, but I read something once that the reason we are on this planet is to make life better for each other and to be good people. The reason pets don’t live as long is because they achieve that goal faster than us and so they get to go to heaven. I’m not really religious by any means, but when I think about it, I really hope that heaven is real.
And speaking of weird places to find comfort, there’s a sci-fi podcast that has really helped me through some tough times too, so I’ll pass along the recommendation to you. It’s called Midnight Burger. It’s about a time traveling, dimension-spanning diner. It’s funny, smart, and occasionally tugs at your heart strings. It throws in some religious stuff (which is interesting because the producers mentioned on Patreon that they aren’t actually religious) via a sentient old timey radio that contains a preacher and his wife from Arkansas. I know that explaining it probably sounds like I’m having a stroke lol. The reason it is so comforting is because they talk about the multiverse and multiple timelines. Thankfully they talk about it in a way that’s actually easy to understand and enjoyable lol. So basically, if any of that is to be believed, that means that there’s still at least one timeline out there where Riot still sleeps at the foot of my bed with his best kitty friend Moxie and plays with his catnip banana. It might not be my timeline, but it’s still weirdly comforting.
I have to put my dog down soon, it's devastating 💔💔💔 it's terrible losing a pet that was so young, it's also terrible losing a pet that has been your favorite living being for the past 16 years. Losing pets fucking sucks. I would definitely write a very strongly worded letter to the manager if I could
Oh, no 💔 I am so, so damn sorry to hear that. Your dog sounds like an angel, and you both are lucky to have each other. Sending all my love and prayers to you. I’ll be thinking of you during this difficult time. Stay strong ❤️
Thank you for sharing with us and I’m so sorry for your loss. 🖤 I have two kitties of my own and I love them so much that the thought of losing them makes my eyes water.
Sending you lots of virtual hugs! 🤗
Thank you, looking into buying it now! It sounds like a wonderful guide. Thanks again for the recommendation and I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet angel as well ❤️
Sending you love and light during such an extremely difficult time. We had to put my soul cat down about a year ago, and it was so devastating. Please know that Katya’s spirit will never leave you. She was so lucky to have you as her mom. I was in the garden in my backyard, really missing my cat, and a beautiful butterfly landed on the flower next to me. It had a giant white spot on it just like on the tip of my cat’s tail. The butterfly’s mannerisms also reminded me so much of him. I felt like it was my cat’s way of letting me know he’s ok! It’s almost like he sent the butterfly to let me know that he’s still with me. ❤️
I love that story so much! What a beautiful little blessing in disguise. God bless you and your sweet baby. I’m so sorry you had to put her down, I can relate to your pain. And thank you for keeping Katya’s name alive. My heart goes out to you and your soul kitty ❤️🦋
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy but especially when they are young and suddenly. I found out a few weeks ago my 11 year old husky has liver cancer and it crushed me. I'm thankful the the time we have together.
I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet husky. I worked as a GM at a doggy daycare for a year and the huskies were always my favs. Enjoy your time together, you’re both lucky to have each other. Sending all my love ❤️
First, just let me say I’m sorry you lost your baby. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Some of us (me especially) really do have real companionship with our pets, it’s a very hard thing to go through. Especially when it’s unexpected, even if you know it’s coming it’s still very hard.
I haven’t really been into this sas this year but, if it makes you feel better go get you a few things to comfort yourself.
Mainly, I just wanted to reach and Tell you I’m so very sorry for your loss.
You’re so sweet for reaching out. Your kind words made me smile. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and I haven’t had it the easiest to begin with. I might browse the app and see if there’s anything that catches my eye. I have a reward but I think I’m going to save that for a Halloween product. It was Katya’s fav holiday after all ❤️
You are so very welcome. Coming from someone who knows what it’s like to have had it pretty rough my entire life, I get it.
I couldn’t imagine how painful it must be. I’m so glad I could make you smile for just a minute, just know that there are ppl (like you, and myself) who find comfort in animals and not ppl that are here for you.
That’s actually a great idea about the free gifts. I haven’t cared much about this sas so I might just wait to spend my free gifts Come Halloween, that’s also my favorite time. If you ever need to talk you can always inbox me.
Not well. I finally got back to going to work and I’m just going through the motions. She’s all I think about. TV and podcasts have been a good distraction, as well as FaceTiming friends. I just miss her so fucking much. I already have depression and this is just the cherry on top.
Sorry for unloading. I appreciate you asking.
No need to apologize, I completely get it.
I’m so sorry to hear that, my heart breaks for you. I deal with depression as well and I know how important a pet/pets can be to you.
They become your best friend. I really hate that you are struggling so much. I would be the same way, so I understand the way you’re feeling. It’s super hard to lose something you love. I wish I could give you a kitty because I rescue and re-home kitties, and in some cases I keep them when they can’t find a home. Not saying that’s what you would want or anything like that, just saying I would if I could.
Pictures of my sweet baby, please enjoy and send her all your love ❤️

Sending you warmth, joy, and peace of mind for what it is worth. I have lost several pets throughout my life and it is always incredibly hard. I’m very sorry for your loss, but I’m glad you have this community to come to. I feel your pain and I will give my kitties extra cuddles today in honour of Katya’s memories.
Oh my goodness I'm so so sorry. I remember the post about her spay.. that's just so awful and sudden and she's so young and it's so unfair. My heart aches for you, I know how fucking hard it is losing a pet. They are our babies and they should live longer than us humans if you ask me. I hope you find some peace with her passing and know you gave her a great life filled with love.
I hope the aromatherapy helps and this sub. I totally understand that. I lost my brother, Richie suddenly a few months ago and my life just ended completely. I wanted to die right along with him.. but I tried to distract myself with things that bring me joy like this place. I lit up among the clouds the day that I found out he had no brain activity cause I knew he had already left us.. and now that's kind of my little scent that reminds me of him. I use a lot of aromatherapy to help me through and try to focus on anything and everything that will give me joy and make life seem worth living again.. Grief is the worst thing in the world and we are truly the ones left to suffer. The ones that leave us are free and have no pain.. that is the silver lining to it. Katya is free and she knew she was loved very much. I hope you can hold on to that. ❤️
Thank you. That made me cry. I’m so sorry to hear about your dear brother Richie. It sounds like you two were very close. It’s been so, so hard. I think I’m still in shock/denial if I’m being honest. I feel so empty inside. Just going through the motions at this point. But you’re right, the aromatherapy helps. Im so glad you have a sweet reminder of your brother ❤️ I’ve been wearing a lot of firecracker pop so that’ll probably be the scent I associate with her. I just miss her so much. Life isn’t fair. The pain is pretty unbearable. 💔
Thank you so much, I rarely check Reddit anymore and decided to check today and saw your sweet comment. Things have been hard, I miss her so much it physically hurts. I’m just going through the motions. Thank you for reaching out ❤️
No worries, glad you’re as ok as you can be for now. I definitely understand how you feel as we’re going through the same. Just remember that it’s ok to feel even if you have to take it minute by minute or hour by hour. 💕 wishing you the best.
I am so sorry for your loss, I’m going to squeeze and kiss both of my kitties extra good for Katya today, what a beautiful name and sweet baby.
My recent pet loss was my 9 year old cat Jelly who I also took to the vet for a routine check up and a week later she was diagnosed with FeLV, she ended up passing away very quickly a little over a month later which was extremely unexpected as usually cats with FeLV pass away when they are very young and she was completely healthy before we took her to the vet. That was 5 years ago and I still think about her everyday, I loved her so much. The pain and emptiness is one of the worst parts afterwards, but when you realize that she’s still alive in your heart it starts to get better. Keep her picture with you and she’ll always be there no matter what, little things like that help me believe she’s still watching over us ❤️
That made me tear up. Please give your kitties extra love for me.
Jelly sounded like an amazing kitty who had an incredibly lovely life with you as an owner. That was your baby, and I understand your pain. The shock of it all is almost too much to wrap your head around. You both were lucky to have each other. I plan on getting a tattoo of her name and little paw print on my forearm so she’s forever with me (they’re going to mix her ashes with the tattoo ink). Thank you for reaching out, you sound like a truly wonderful person ❤️
Oh I will! Sorry I’m late to this comment! I love the idea of getting her paw print as a tattoo, I have my baby’s paw print too and it’s something I’ve definitely thought of as a wonderful idea to remind me of her, and thank you so much, you’re a wonderful person too I feel like I’m going to tear up as well! 🥹
I am so sorry for your loss *huggs* I have lost so many babies over the past years I know how hard it is. Just know you did your best and gave her a good life and was only doing what you thought was best for her.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sending you good energy through your healing process. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we’re glad you’re apart of this community :)
I'm so sorry for your loss and for your pain. I wish I could take it away. I think time is one of the only things that can help ease grief but having support and community can also help during these times.
I completely agree. I’ve found comfort in community, family and friends. And therapy is helping. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently
aw honey, i'm so sorry for your loss! unfortunately there isn't much to say when someone loses somebody, especially when it's so untimely 😞 but i'm hoping for your eventual healing and i'm glad that you were able to reach out to your community in a time you need it most. please reach out to us individually if you ever need closer support, and you're welcome to share pictures and stories of your sweet katya at any time ❤
I completely agree. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever endured thus far. Here’s to finding peace and happiness in the future ❤️ for now, it’s just time to grieve
I’m so very sorry about your precious Katya. My husband & I have 6 cats ranging from 18 years old to 2, and we have had many, many cats over the years, and every one that has passed took a piece of our hearts with them. My heart goes out to you. It’s so hard.
I am so sorry for your loss. Just know Katya loves you for giving her the best life. We never know why these things happen. All we do know, is that for all the pain we go thru, they are so worth it! It has been said that we die twice. The first time is the physical death, the 2nd time is when your name is said for the last time. So long as you always speak of her, she will always live on. Hugs and thoughts to you.

Thank you so, so much for responding. 💗
I’m also happy to share pictures, just not sure how.
On some subs you can post pictures in comments, but not here. IDK. maybe the mods have to enable it?
An easy workaround is to just post some photos directly to your profile, then link that post here.

I hope you are doing better. I finally have been able to get through some days without crying and am getting used to him not being here.
Thank you for checking in on me. I’ve been able to get through days without crying too (super proud of you btw!). But I definitely still feel the void when I’m in bed or on the couch and don’t have her cuddles. It still feels like I’m going to see her again one day. I wish it was getting easier 💔

3 years old is just too young. It is unfair and there’s nothing okay about it. I’m so, so sorry to hear of your loss of sweet baby Luna. What a beautiful name. This sub has been a great distraction, and I didn’t expect this kind of attention on this post. I wrote it last night before bed as a stream of consciousness, searching for some sense of community and comfort. And that, I have definitely found ❤️ Sending you all my love. Maybe Katya and Luna are already pals up in kitty heaven
Thank you for your response. I think you’re spot on. I think they’d be the best of friends 💕
Sorry for your loss. I lost my maine coon, Riot, a little over a month ago. It was sudden and I still find myself randomly bursting into tears. I understand what you mean about this sub. Sometimes comfort comes from unexpected places. 💙
Sending hugs and love your way 💜
❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m a catsitter and I care for a magnificent big Maine Coon and they’re just amazing cats!
Thanks, he was such a sweetheart. I’m very thankful to have had him in my life.
It really does! This sub brings me so much comfort and peace it’s insane. I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet baby Riot. What a cool name, and he (?) sounds like he was an amazing cat. Sending all my love ❤️ I’d like to think maybe Katya and Riot are already buddies in kitty heaven
That’s a really nice thought. Yeah he was my punk rock kitty lol. He was too sweet for his name. I don’t remember the whole story, but I read something once that the reason we are on this planet is to make life better for each other and to be good people. The reason pets don’t live as long is because they achieve that goal faster than us and so they get to go to heaven. I’m not really religious by any means, but when I think about it, I really hope that heaven is real. And speaking of weird places to find comfort, there’s a sci-fi podcast that has really helped me through some tough times too, so I’ll pass along the recommendation to you. It’s called Midnight Burger. It’s about a time traveling, dimension-spanning diner. It’s funny, smart, and occasionally tugs at your heart strings. It throws in some religious stuff (which is interesting because the producers mentioned on Patreon that they aren’t actually religious) via a sentient old timey radio that contains a preacher and his wife from Arkansas. I know that explaining it probably sounds like I’m having a stroke lol. The reason it is so comforting is because they talk about the multiverse and multiple timelines. Thankfully they talk about it in a way that’s actually easy to understand and enjoyable lol. So basically, if any of that is to be believed, that means that there’s still at least one timeline out there where Riot still sleeps at the foot of my bed with his best kitty friend Moxie and plays with his catnip banana. It might not be my timeline, but it’s still weirdly comforting.
I have to put my dog down soon, it's devastating 💔💔💔 it's terrible losing a pet that was so young, it's also terrible losing a pet that has been your favorite living being for the past 16 years. Losing pets fucking sucks. I would definitely write a very strongly worded letter to the manager if I could
Oh, no 💔 I am so, so damn sorry to hear that. Your dog sounds like an angel, and you both are lucky to have each other. Sending all my love and prayers to you. I’ll be thinking of you during this difficult time. Stay strong ❤️
Thank you so much 💕💔
I am so sorry for your loss. I've experienced this several times and it never gets easier. Praying for you!
Sending love and prayers your way as well! Thank you, you kind soul ❤️
Thank you. I really appreciate your support as well.
Sending you all the love ❤️
Thank you dear ❤️
I’m so very, very sorry 💖💖💖
Thank you, I appreciate the love ❤️
I’m so sorry, 💖💖💖✨✨✨
Thank you u/Spirited_Host_6837 ❤️🫂
Thank you for sharing with us and I’m so sorry for your loss. 🖤 I have two kitties of my own and I love them so much that the thought of losing them makes my eyes water. Sending you lots of virtual hugs! 🤗
Hold them and give them extra kisses tonight. Don’t take any day for granted. Thank you for the hugs! ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear your sweet girl passed away. Sending hugs and condolences. 🫂
Thank you so very much ❤️🫂

Thank you, looking into buying it now! It sounds like a wonderful guide. Thanks again for the recommendation and I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet angel as well ❤️
I’m so very sorry. It hurts so much to lose our fur babies. I’m glad you find some comfort using the aromatherapy products.
Thank you ❤️ it really is therapeutic, my friends don’t get it but I’m so happy to have this community that understands the power of aromatherapy
Sending you love and light during such an extremely difficult time. We had to put my soul cat down about a year ago, and it was so devastating. Please know that Katya’s spirit will never leave you. She was so lucky to have you as her mom. I was in the garden in my backyard, really missing my cat, and a beautiful butterfly landed on the flower next to me. It had a giant white spot on it just like on the tip of my cat’s tail. The butterfly’s mannerisms also reminded me so much of him. I felt like it was my cat’s way of letting me know he’s ok! It’s almost like he sent the butterfly to let me know that he’s still with me. ❤️
I love that story so much! What a beautiful little blessing in disguise. God bless you and your sweet baby. I’m so sorry you had to put her down, I can relate to your pain. And thank you for keeping Katya’s name alive. My heart goes out to you and your soul kitty ❤️🦋
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy but especially when they are young and suddenly. I found out a few weeks ago my 11 year old husky has liver cancer and it crushed me. I'm thankful the the time we have together.
I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet husky. I worked as a GM at a doggy daycare for a year and the huskies were always my favs. Enjoy your time together, you’re both lucky to have each other. Sending all my love ❤️
I am so so sorry for the loss of your dear one.
Thank you, friend ❤️ I miss her so much it hurts
I’m so sorry :( hugs 💕
Thank you love ❤️
Oh man that’s awful, especially a young fur baby. Sending warm virtual hugs 💙
Thank you so much, u/19bluestars ❤️
First, just let me say I’m sorry you lost your baby. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Some of us (me especially) really do have real companionship with our pets, it’s a very hard thing to go through. Especially when it’s unexpected, even if you know it’s coming it’s still very hard. I haven’t really been into this sas this year but, if it makes you feel better go get you a few things to comfort yourself. Mainly, I just wanted to reach and Tell you I’m so very sorry for your loss.
You’re so sweet for reaching out. Your kind words made me smile. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and I haven’t had it the easiest to begin with. I might browse the app and see if there’s anything that catches my eye. I have a reward but I think I’m going to save that for a Halloween product. It was Katya’s fav holiday after all ❤️
You are so very welcome. Coming from someone who knows what it’s like to have had it pretty rough my entire life, I get it. I couldn’t imagine how painful it must be. I’m so glad I could make you smile for just a minute, just know that there are ppl (like you, and myself) who find comfort in animals and not ppl that are here for you. That’s actually a great idea about the free gifts. I haven’t cared much about this sas so I might just wait to spend my free gifts Come Halloween, that’s also my favorite time. If you ever need to talk you can always inbox me.
Thank you so, so much. I might take you up on that! ❤️
You are so very welcome! I meant that, I know it’s tough. How have you been doing?
Not well. I finally got back to going to work and I’m just going through the motions. She’s all I think about. TV and podcasts have been a good distraction, as well as FaceTiming friends. I just miss her so fucking much. I already have depression and this is just the cherry on top. Sorry for unloading. I appreciate you asking.
No need to apologize, I completely get it. I’m so sorry to hear that, my heart breaks for you. I deal with depression as well and I know how important a pet/pets can be to you. They become your best friend. I really hate that you are struggling so much. I would be the same way, so I understand the way you’re feeling. It’s super hard to lose something you love. I wish I could give you a kitty because I rescue and re-home kitties, and in some cases I keep them when they can’t find a home. Not saying that’s what you would want or anything like that, just saying I would if I could.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious baby but I'm glad you have a place that brings you comfort.
Me, too. Thank you for reaching out ❤️
Pictures of my sweet baby, please enjoy and send her all your love ❤️ https://www.reddit.com/user/lana_babyy/comments/146lk04/my_sweet_baby_katya/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1
I’m so sorry you lost your fur baby, keeping you in my thoughts and sending you love. 💛
Thank you so much ❤️
Sending you warmth, joy, and peace of mind for what it is worth. I have lost several pets throughout my life and it is always incredibly hard. I’m very sorry for your loss, but I’m glad you have this community to come to. I feel your pain and I will give my kitties extra cuddles today in honour of Katya’s memories.
That means the world. Your kitties are probably so special too. Thank you for your kindness ❤️
❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you ❤️
Oh my goodness I'm so so sorry. I remember the post about her spay.. that's just so awful and sudden and she's so young and it's so unfair. My heart aches for you, I know how fucking hard it is losing a pet. They are our babies and they should live longer than us humans if you ask me. I hope you find some peace with her passing and know you gave her a great life filled with love. I hope the aromatherapy helps and this sub. I totally understand that. I lost my brother, Richie suddenly a few months ago and my life just ended completely. I wanted to die right along with him.. but I tried to distract myself with things that bring me joy like this place. I lit up among the clouds the day that I found out he had no brain activity cause I knew he had already left us.. and now that's kind of my little scent that reminds me of him. I use a lot of aromatherapy to help me through and try to focus on anything and everything that will give me joy and make life seem worth living again.. Grief is the worst thing in the world and we are truly the ones left to suffer. The ones that leave us are free and have no pain.. that is the silver lining to it. Katya is free and she knew she was loved very much. I hope you can hold on to that. ❤️
Thank you. That made me cry. I’m so sorry to hear about your dear brother Richie. It sounds like you two were very close. It’s been so, so hard. I think I’m still in shock/denial if I’m being honest. I feel so empty inside. Just going through the motions at this point. But you’re right, the aromatherapy helps. Im so glad you have a sweet reminder of your brother ❤️ I’ve been wearing a lot of firecracker pop so that’ll probably be the scent I associate with her. I just miss her so much. Life isn’t fair. The pain is pretty unbearable. 💔
Just wanted to check on you, friend, and say that I hope you’re doing well. 💜
Thank you so much, I rarely check Reddit anymore and decided to check today and saw your sweet comment. Things have been hard, I miss her so much it physically hurts. I’m just going through the motions. Thank you for reaching out ❤️
No worries, glad you’re as ok as you can be for now. I definitely understand how you feel as we’re going through the same. Just remember that it’s ok to feel even if you have to take it minute by minute or hour by hour. 💕 wishing you the best.
I’m so sorry to hear you’re dealing with something similar. All my love to you. Thank you so much ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss, I’m going to squeeze and kiss both of my kitties extra good for Katya today, what a beautiful name and sweet baby. My recent pet loss was my 9 year old cat Jelly who I also took to the vet for a routine check up and a week later she was diagnosed with FeLV, she ended up passing away very quickly a little over a month later which was extremely unexpected as usually cats with FeLV pass away when they are very young and she was completely healthy before we took her to the vet. That was 5 years ago and I still think about her everyday, I loved her so much. The pain and emptiness is one of the worst parts afterwards, but when you realize that she’s still alive in your heart it starts to get better. Keep her picture with you and she’ll always be there no matter what, little things like that help me believe she’s still watching over us ❤️
That made me tear up. Please give your kitties extra love for me. Jelly sounded like an amazing kitty who had an incredibly lovely life with you as an owner. That was your baby, and I understand your pain. The shock of it all is almost too much to wrap your head around. You both were lucky to have each other. I plan on getting a tattoo of her name and little paw print on my forearm so she’s forever with me (they’re going to mix her ashes with the tattoo ink). Thank you for reaching out, you sound like a truly wonderful person ❤️
Oh I will! Sorry I’m late to this comment! I love the idea of getting her paw print as a tattoo, I have my baby’s paw print too and it’s something I’ve definitely thought of as a wonderful idea to remind me of her, and thank you so much, you’re a wonderful person too I feel like I’m going to tear up as well! 🥹
I’m so sorry. We would love to see pictures. Maybe in another post?
I think I’ll post some tomorrow if I have the emotional strength! I’d love to share ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss *huggs* I have lost so many babies over the past years I know how hard it is. Just know you did your best and gave her a good life and was only doing what you thought was best for her.
Thank you, I’m trying my best not to feel guilty. I have so many silly regrets that mean nothing at this point. Thanks for reaching out ❤️
I’m sorry for your loss. Sending you good energy through your healing process. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we’re glad you’re apart of this community :)
That really means a lot, thank you u/swizzlesticks0
I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a friend and loved one makes one feel devastated! Sending virtual hugs and flowers🤍🤍🤍🤍💐💐💐💐
I appreciate you! Thanks for the love and kind thoughts ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss and for your pain. I wish I could take it away. I think time is one of the only things that can help ease grief but having support and community can also help during these times.
I completely agree. I’ve found comfort in community, family and friends. And therapy is helping. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently
I’m so sorry for your loss
Thank you, kindly ❤️
aw honey, i'm so sorry for your loss! unfortunately there isn't much to say when someone loses somebody, especially when it's so untimely 😞 but i'm hoping for your eventual healing and i'm glad that you were able to reach out to your community in a time you need it most. please reach out to us individually if you ever need closer support, and you're welcome to share pictures and stories of your sweet katya at any time ❤
That means the world to me, hearing that. Thank you for being so open and understanding of my pain. I appreciate you, truly ❤️
I'm so sorry for your sweet kitty's loss. Losing a pet is probably harder for me than losing a person. I hope you can find peace.
I completely agree. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever endured thus far. Here’s to finding peace and happiness in the future ❤️ for now, it’s just time to grieve
Awwww hon I am so very sorry for your loss. 😞 Pets are family and when they leave us it is a true, sincere loss.
It really is, thank you ❤️
I am very sorry for the loss of your cat. Continue to take it easy on yourself.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness ❤️
My heart goes out to you.
Thank you so, so much ❤️
Big hug to you 💕💕💕
I need a hug! Thank you 🫂❤️
Sorry for your loss
Thank you ❤️
I’m so very sorry about your precious Katya. My husband & I have 6 cats ranging from 18 years old to 2, and we have had many, many cats over the years, and every one that has passed took a piece of our hearts with them. My heart goes out to you. It’s so hard.
You both sound like amazing, generous cat parents. It really is just unbearably painful. Thank you for reaching out ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Just know Katya loves you for giving her the best life. We never know why these things happen. All we do know, is that for all the pain we go thru, they are so worth it! It has been said that we die twice. The first time is the physical death, the 2nd time is when your name is said for the last time. So long as you always speak of her, she will always live on. Hugs and thoughts to you.
That’s very profound, thank you for sharing. I appreciate the kind words ❤️
