I lost one of my two cats a few months ago to a urinary blockage, so I completely sympathize with you Len

[master of read]

So...one of my two cats are dying. I should've been prepared for it since she is now 15 years old, but because of how energetic and loud she is, it never fully occurred to me. This week hit me when her meows suddenly became weak and hoarse. At first, I passed it off as her losing her voice temporarily because how frequently and loudly she meows during the morning to wake my wife and I up. Then, I noticed how lethargic she became. Normally, she would comb the whole house, but now she barely wants to get out of bed. She only gets up to eat or hmgo to the bathroom, and she'll slump on her side during the former before moving on. I've had these two cats since I was 19, so they're essentially family to me. Even more so since they were originally my grandmother's cats before she passed away two years ago, so losing one of them really fucking hurts especially since I promised to take care of them. I lost my mom and grandma only twelve days apart from each other and always felt/wished I had done more for them, and as stupid as it sounds, I feel like my cat dying is my fault because I didn't do enough.

Sorry for being emotional like this online. I typically refuse to bring my feelings and baggage to our forum since this is where we come for fun discussions. I just can't help myself right now.

losing a pet is not easy. so say and do whatever you need to do to help. we'll be here for ya.

I'm wondering when we're getting the Doom Guy/Doom Slayer vs. Master Chief rematch.

You're allowed to feel your feelings and share them with the community.

Also, I know you know this but I'm just saying it to reinforce you feeling more healthy about it, 15 years is a really good run for a cat. You have taken good care of this animal and she appears to have lived a long and full life.

Try not to internalise blame for this happening if you can. It is not your fault, it's just looking like her time.

It's understandable and we feel for ya, Len. Losing a pet isn't easy to take in.

It's perfectly fine to express your sorrows and pain here. We're happy to listen and help in any way we can.

You've clearly treated this cat with love and attention. You've done a great job and it's sadly just the her time. Try not to blame yourself and just showing her the love you always have until it's time.

Soooo Lady Nagant was a child soldier trained to be a killer by the PSC and it broke her and that's why she became a villain. Do I have that right?

spoilers:

Yup. They pushed her past the deep end and made her pretend like she was just a regular old heroine. Cool dark backstory. I kinda really want her and Stain to meet up.

Figured that was going to be the case from the end of year preview. Still rooting for Link, but it'll be interesting to see how things have changed for their analysis.

I'm so sorry, Len. I know how painful this can be, especially when the cat is really looked on as part of the family. I went through some pretty agonizing times when our two cats passed away, within a month of each other.

It sounds like she is slowing down, lots. 15 is still...not old, but complications can start happening. One of mine was 15 when he passed, thanks to some kind of medical issue that completely flummoxed the vets, no matter what tests they did. I blamed myself for a long, long time - still do, at times, wondering what I could have done differently. I know how that can go. The other one was only 17, and it turned out she had cancer. NOTHING that could have been done by the point we found out.

Please don't blame yourself.

And please don't apologize for bringing this here. I wish there was more I could do. This will hurt, and I hope you have support.

Thanks guys, for your kindness and understanding. You're all good friends. I'm feeling a little better. My wife and aunt are helping me come to terms with it, so I'll be okay.
