Lost my cat.
Lost my cat suddenly and my grief is unbearable.
Hi everyone. A month ago, my wife and I were watching TV at 1AM when my perfectly healthy 3 years old cat had a seizure. I immediately took him to an urgent veterinary clinic where we did him a blood test and the results came back as perfectly normal. The vet told me to observe him over the next couple of days and contact her if I notice any strange behavior. He went back to 100% normal during the same night and he was as friendly and loving as always, sleeping on my chest and cuddling with us whenever he felt like it.
Two weeks later I woke up at 4AM on my wife's screaming. My cat was lying in front of our bedroom door. I tried doing CPR, immediately took him to the vet who told me that he's gone. She couldn't tell me why, citing a variety of reasons.
It broke me. I feel devastated. He was part of our family. I used to fear that day thinking it would eventually come in the far future. The house feels so empty without him. I miss him so much. I keep seeing him in every corner of the house. He had such an amazing personality and presence. He was so soft and warm.
I buried him in our garden but I find it so hard to move on.
I don't wanna get another cat because I don't want to "replace" him. He's irreplaceable and I want to give us some time before we consider getting a new cat.
