Its an attachment thing. people handle it differently. Some consider their pets family more than their actual family. I know my mother does. I myself have shed a tear for my passed animals... I also havent when some die. ITs just the moment I guess.

What I find more puzzling is why you cry when you masturbate to gay porn...

:pimp

Thank you all for making me feel a little better.

:)

Sorry to hear about your loss, I was a mess when I put my dog down in December. It's one of the worst feelings imaginable, but time does heal.

I am sorry about your lose. I cried when my dog past away and hes only been gone for a year. It is sad when you love your pet so much. Remember to think of the good times you two had together.

sorry to hear hun.

keep your head up

So sorry for your loss. I lost one of my kitties last January suddenly to kidney failure. It was really awful. *hugs*

feeling bad for you ...

mine is 12, and I sometimes think about it leaving .... :(

sorry for your loss

I'm very sorry about your loss.

That's terrible TA.

I know how you feel. When my cat, Dr Livingston, got suddenly sick, I spent the next two weeks doing everything possible to save him, (ended up with a $9,600 vet bill, and never regreted it).... but we were unable to.

I was destroyed for weeks afterward, and I sometimes think of him, years later. He was my little buddy, used to ride around on my shoulders everywhere, even hiking or going to malls. He looked a bit like your cat also.

People can say what they want about the priority that different people put on pets.... and I've been through some terrible things that involved horrible suffering for human beings, so I recognize the difference in degrees; but when your pet is such a warm, loving part of your life, the pain of that loss can be shocking.

:( :(

50 sad days

aww i'm sooo sorry. he was so adorable.

My condolences...Sorry to hear about your loss....

So sad.. you can still have some new..:)

Well said, Michael. You are the only person who your pet looks to for shelter, food, and companionship, and it hurts like hell when you've done all you can but you can't make them feel better.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sorry to hear TA. Pets become like family.


RIP.

Awwwww, so sorry for your loss... :(

I've had cats all my life. I also cried when my last cat was killed by 2 fucking morons. I don't mind telling people i cried over a pet, that cat was closer to me than most people i know.

We now have a cat which we don't let outdoors. At least i know she will be safe from those fucking idiots at least...

So sorry for your loss...

I was on holiday last June in Florida and on the last day of my holiday my cat died. It was my mums cat but he was 13, had him since I was 9 years old. He lived with me, coz I bought my mums house from her and she moved but the cat wouldn't settle in her new place so he came back to live with me.

He had two tumors in his anal glands and it was gonna be more cruel to treat him that it would be to put him down. After a helluva lot of tears my mum finally agreed. Thankfully I wasn't there to see it all or I think I'd have been a wreck too.

My mum swore she would never get another cat but she has one now and she loves it just the same she did the old one. This one stays at her house tho and I still have my Labrador to keep me happy. Maybe in time you'll get another cat. I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry for your loss TA.

My dog Sully is 17 now, and I know it's only a matter of time for him now.

Not looking forward to being without him, he's been a constant friend and companion to me since he was 5 1/2 weeks old.

I'm so sorry for your loss, it can be really devastating when you lose a furry friend, and he seemed like a cool cat.

I hope to not sound insensitive, but consider (after a reasonable mourning period) getting a new little kitten, it really helps. Especially if you only had one cat, to me a house isn't a home without a cat or dog.

Either way, I hope you feel better soon.:(

I had a Tabby like that as a kid, Tiger was my favorite cat. When I had that cat it was the only time I'd be up for school...cause like an alarm clock he would wake me up....by either biting my big toe or my nose(playfully). When you mentioned the crying all night it gave me a flash back.....my cat did the same it was like he was saying Good Bye

wahhhhhhhhhh my cat died

Eight huh? Odd that it would die so soon. Very odd.

sorry for your loss

Fuck off TDF.



TurboAngel, I totally feel for you ... our cats are our babies and I'd go crazy if something happened to one of them ...

I hope you're not too bad at the mo :(

No ... YOUR life obviously does. Our lives would be crushed if our cats were harmed fatally.

I suppose everyone is different... but if you have a trophy dog (I assume so, since you'd not be that bothered if it died), then you've got a dog for the wrong reasons.

sorry for your loss

oh, sorry about that..condolence to you then..why did she die btw?

thats so sad,sorry to hear that:(

Not to be cruel, but did you give birth to him? Send him to school? Attend parent-teacher conferences? Go to his plays? Coach him in soccer or Little League?

Putting a fucking cat on the same level as a child is an insult to parents.

Why ??

Some parents haven't got a clue how to bring up kids properly anyway, so why would it insult them ?

I am trying to see the rationale for crying over an animal.As this thread has noted,some people see pets as children rather than the animal that they are. I own cats also but I would not cry knowing that cats do not have the human life expectancy anyways

Those of us that do would be insulted, although I can see why your parents might put you on the same level as a cat.

Which is probably a higher level than you ever were... :1orglaugh

Lucky

was "Lucky" the cat name they gave you?

OMG :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Awww, I'm so sorry!! :( Losing a pet is the worst. RIP sweet kitty.

Bad Dog !

Was that the............................ :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You'll never understand. The new puppy you got you wouldn't cry or be at least a bit up-set he had gotten killed last night?



:(

Would I be bummed? Of course. Would I ever put him on the same level as one of my kids? Not a chance.

I guess you are right, I will never understand.
