    I am so sorry. I know how much a pet can add to a person's life. My GF just lost her cat to cancer. My GF is Catholic and I ended up going into St. Peters and getting a pet medal. When I went upstairs the priest was there and I spoke with him. He said the nicest prayer over the medal and was a wonderful man. It made me realize how cold and heartless JWs can be about death because they feel you should not morn lost life and especially a pet's death. But a pet is a loved one and the loss of their company is great. My heart goes out to you. I hope you are soon able to find peace in your memories of your lost loved one.

    I am so sorry for your pain. They are our family to most of us. It can be a painful journey right now but, something positive will come out of it.I cannot remember which poster mentioned getting another pet right away, but I agree with them.

    There are so many animals out there looking for a new home or needing to be adopted. You could mend two hearts at once by adopting one of those lonely cats.

    take care of yourself for now.

    Hugs to you.

    Losing our furry kids can be tough. We lost a beloved cat many years ago and we still miss him.

    Rmember him with love.

    Sorry for your loss. It takes time to get over it. As someone else said, getting a kitten would help.

    Would you mind to explain what happened? you said:

    I left him at home for three nights in the care of someone who now I can see doesn't give a hoot.

    What did this someone do or didn't do that brought on the death of your pet?

    I am so sorry that your cat died . It's amazing how attached we become to our pets. We have always had pets in our home and loved everyone of them . When they die we grieve because they were part of the family . I really miss our dog that died a few years ago . I didn't think I would ever want another dog because it just would not be the same , but I just couldn't stand coming home from work to an empty house . We ended up finding a puppy about three months later , and it was the best thing we could have done . His energy eased our pain .

    I am sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my beagle in July, so I know the love and loss one can feel with a pet. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

    I always liked your picture of Toby in the cat carrier.

    Sorry about this news, he looked like a very nice cat.
