I Lost My Sweetest Boy

Saturday, August 23, my sweet cat, Sweetums, died, and the worst part is we don't know why. My mother saw him outside with the other cats and he was having what appeared to be a seizure. She picked him up, brought him into the house and told my sister and me that Sweetums had had some sort of attack. We rushed him the the emergency vet, but he was already dead. Our hearts are broken. Have you ever had a beloved pet die? How did you deal with it?

I'm so very sorry. I really understand your pain. I lost several cats and it hurts so horribly that words completely fail to express it. Don't be afraid to grieve. Don't let anyone say "it was just a cat." It was a piece of your heart. Again, I'm so very sorry.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You're right Sweetums was not just a cat. He was in every way a member of our family and our hearts.
