Kay I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. This is my first loss as an adult. I’ve lost pets as a child but don’t remember how it felt. I never fully understood the grief of losing a pet until now... so, you’re not alone in all this pain. I definitely think that everyone is different and you will know when you’re ready to love another. Prayers for you

Aw Marty. I love your fathers newspaper quote. It’s very true as well. There will never be another cat who is exactly like Frankie but I do know there will be another cat that I can love... that will make me laugh and smile

Thank you Kay and Marty. I think everyone in the house wants another cat. We miss Frankie so much... we’ve talked about how another cat will not be him... but that just having a new fluffy family member around the house might help heal us. It’s so terrible to lose a pet... everything in and out of my home reminds me of him. He is missed so much. The only thing that is making me feel peace is knowing he got to meet Jesus and that the pain is gone. Im sorry for all of your losses as well

Hello. My cat died unexpectedly on Friday night and I’m completely devastated. He was actually my sons 4th birthday present. He was so loved. He was the best cat ever. We adopted him and he fit right into our family immediately. He played with my 2 & 4 year old and never scratched or bit them. He always cuddled up to me or my boys when we were sleeping. He was supposed to be an indoor cat but he loved to be outside. He would sneak out every chance he could. He always stuck by the house near us and would catch lizards with my son and climb up the palm trees in our back yard. We usually call him in every evening and he always would come running. We went to bed super early on Friday night and he wasn’t let in. That night he was hit by a car outside of our housing plan. My husband and dad picked him up off the road and buried him in the tall grass nearby. I wanted him brought home but they said they didn’t want me or the kids to see him. My husband went back today to look for him so we could bury him in our yard but an animal dug him up. He was only around for 9 months but in that time I grew to love him so much. He comforted me and was my furry friend. He made me smile and laugh and when I looked at him he made me feel at ease...everywhere I go in my house or in my yard I think of him... when I drive down the road and see where he was buried I break down and cry. When will it get better? My heart is so sad. I want to get about cat to make me smile again. I know it won’t be him... it could never be him but I feel like seeing another little cat around will help me feel better. Is this a good idea?
