Now I'm really alone

I just put my boycat to sleep today. He went downhill so fast. It was the right thing to do, but it was so, so hard.

He got me through so much. Depression, coming out, HRT, surgery. The breakup. Moving to a new neighborhood. Starting over.

I was so grateful for him every day. I know that's the best I could do--love him and appreciate him and never take him for granted.

But now I don't know what I'll do without him.

im so sorry .. i really am losing a friend like that is hard .. they may be small and furry and not be able to speak english ,. but they love with all there hearts .. they dont judge . they dont argue they dont tell you your stupid they just adore you .. and you take care of them the pain eases with time for you and him here ...

Bast, Sekhmet, we give you back your child.
Noble, regal, honorable cat.
Watch over her, and guide her on her way
to the spirit world.
May she be blessed in your names,
and hunt ever after beside you.

Today somebody pointed out how amazing it is that we bond across species barriers. I think it's nice to have someone to worship when I get home, and he never complained that I was laying it on too thick.

I've never had a kitten. Only adult strays that I took in. Maybe someday...

Some days I think we are the strays and they take us in. I understand your pain.

My heart hurts for your loss, I understand.

Pets are more than that, they are family... It hurts when a loved one is lost

Love Arch,

I lost both of my dogs, in a week. Keep cool. Let yourself calm down

Then get a stray

Sorry to hear about that Arch. I can relate. I had an Alaskan Malamute that stuck by me during the Great Family Exodus, you know, when word gets out you're trans and... He passed away a few years ago. I was surprised to find myself crying. I had no idea how much I loved that dog.

Maybe another cat? Whatever happens I wish you all the best.

You have my condolences, Arch. GEnnee
