  1. My cat died 2 days ago and I’m consumed with guilt. I spent the previous 10 days staying a friends house to mind her dog while she was on holiday. Before I left I noticed that my cat digit was weeing in the house in strange places. I left cat litter out for him before I left for my friends house and decided to take him to the vets for a check up when I got back (I live with my dad so he was taking care of him and my 2 other cats). My brother took me home from my friends and said that he saw digit struggling to wee in the litter box so I said I’d take him the vets once we got in. I arrived home and noticed him curled up asleep on the bed - when I got nearer and he didn’t move I realised he had died (and it must have been in the past 24 hours as my brother had seen him the day before) After doing some googling the only conclusion I can come to is that he had a urinary blockage and only now do I realise how serious this is. I feel so so guilty for not taking him to the vets before I went to stay at my friends. I feel like I failed him so bad. If I’d just been more cautious and aware I could have prevented it. But I thought I had more time. I hate the thought of him being in pain and me not being there to help him. The only thing that is giving me some solace is that I’m hoping he went in his sleep because of the way I found him. I just don’t know if I’ll ever stop feeling guilty about this and I don’t know what to do to get past it.
