Does your Cat (or any pet) misbehave since caregiving your loved one?
Have you been required to take care of your loved one's pet after they have passed? Does your pet have cute antics that entertain your loved one?
And finally, has the cat or dog transferred their loyalty to your Mother?
Just show your remaining kitty lots of love. That's what we do with Henrick.
All the best to you!💝
So very sorry for your loss.
Very sad.
((((Hugs))))).
My Dumbledore is very much a "king of the castle" (well, king of the small NYC apt.) type. Terrorizes any other cat we've had.
I guess maybe we'll try to adopt from our local shelter provisionally and see how it goes. Two is a good number.
((((Hugs))))
When I lost my dog I felt like my third man was missing and I had to go get a rescue shepherd 11 days after his unexpected death. When we lost her it was the same thing. We now have 2 rescue shepherds and even though we miss our lost dogs we have that love back in our home.
We know when we get them that they just don't live long enough but, each one brings their own personality and enriches our lives and hearts.
I am glad you have Merlin to comfort you.
Barb: I hope you get the perfect cat that fits in just right.
And Barb, there's no pressure. You'll know if and when the time is right to bring a new pet into your home.
I think Merlin will stay an only cat now. At 14 he may be a bit old to accept a new pet joining us.
Barb - good luck with finding another cat. Pumpkin, the one we lost, was the undisputed alpha animal (including humans) in the house. However, she did adjust to Rocky, and later to Smokey.
Instead we're going to let old Henrick live out his days as A-number one cat around here.😽
I've just about given up on my siblings. It truly feels like an ending. An ending of what I don't really know but an ending nonetheless.
I believe that at least two of my siblings are narcissistic sociopaths to be honest. Hard to accept but once I accept it and move on I think I'll be better for it.
Sorry for posting this on the cat thread.
Sorry that Daniel could no longer be with us,
but he is,
in memory on this thread and in our hearts.
Arthur will be remembered by all the pet lovers here.
Sorry that you are missing him,
and picking up his ashes.
I'm sure Arthur appreciated all the love you gave.
Newest roomie is so pleasant and considerate, and loves cats. I can see 'LilahBean has a new friend and I'm happy that's a good fit.
Wishing everyone happy memories -- Barb, Golden, and everyone else who's lost their pet this year. Chriscat, that was a really nice thing your hubs and neighbor shared. Gershun, it would have been the supportive thing for your sis to say something, anything, to acknowledge your loss. Your unsupportive sibling is just doing what they do, sounds like.
My daughter in law, who is working from her parents' home in Wisconsin while helping raise her SIL and brother's 4 little kids (he is deployed in Iraq) had to put their 18 year old dauchshund down on Tuesday morning.
Very hard for her and my son to be so far apart right now.
