Companion Animal Memorial Thread

My cat Bear died today, Thursday, September 26, 2013. He was a very exasperating cat, but very loving, and so much loved. He's now over the Rainbow Bridge, out of pain, stalking birds in a meadow and having a grand old time. Goodbye Bear, I miss you already.

So so very sorry for your loss.

I remember your posts talking about how you originally thought he was a she, and named him Violet! And about how much of a sweetheart he was.

Many hugs and condolences.

Thanks, y'all.

I cannot tell you how embarrassed I was, sitting in that waiting room, and the vet came out and announced in front of everyone that Violet was a boy! He had me follow him back in and he showed me the cat's boy parts. He had been neutered, which is why I missed it. *blush*

Aww, it makes me laugh as I thought my cat was a female and called "her" Pumpkin and the vet told me he was a male so I changed his name to Jack. At the vet surgery afterwards they kept forgetting to change the records and they kept saying "Can Pumpkin Jack come in now" even though I kept reminding them he was just called Jack!

Companion animals are so wonderful. I'm so sorry you lost your little one.

Thanks, all. I'm over the shock. Now comes the pain and sadness, and the adjustment of life without Bear. I miss everything about him, even the stuff that drove me crazy, like when he'd climb up on my tray and get his face in my food.

Thanks, faded.

When you lose a beloved pet, don't let anyone tell you that the grief you experience is not the same as the grief you experience when you lose a beloved human. The grief is exactly the same. I'm going through the same grieving process I went through when my dad died in 2010. I'm experiencing all the same negative emotions in the same way.

I'm sorry about Bear, Amy- you posted about him so often.

Amy, I am so incredibly sorry I'll miss hearing about Bear's adventures, he seemed like such a mischief-maker. Massive hugs for you

Thanks, Aery. Yeah, he was always keeping me on my toes with his antics.

I believe the grief can be the same. I felt it when Thor died last year. He was with me for 17 years and it felt much like when my mom died in 1986. It was a little disturbing for me at first, acknowledging that I hadn't felt such a loss since my mom died. Not saying I loved Thor as much as I loved my mom or that he was equally as important. Just that the feeling of loss was that intense.

I've never lost a pet but I totally agree. A beloved pet that shares your daily life and gives you so much joy, must be devestating when they die.
I'm dreading the day that this will happen.

Grief is grief. We feel it when people die, when we lose our beloved family members with fur, and even when we lose friendships or jobs. It is the same.

(((((hugs))))))) our pets get so close to us, perhaps closer than a lot of humans so it is natural that we feel so sad when they pass.
