She was so young

My cat was just 2 years old. She died yesterday after hitting her head after running out of bed. She’s too young
Why did she die? Why? She didn’t deserve it, it hurts so much, it really hurts so much

She was my first pet ever I miss her so so much

Rest in Peace Hammy

Hammy passed away today and I am honestly devastated and traumatized.

My drunk boyfriend got angry and took it out on my hamster. I tried to help Hammy and keep him warm and safe afterward, but he passed away later that night.

I feel so much guilt and regret. I keep wishing I protected him better or did something differently. He was such a small innocent little animal and didn’t deserve any of this.

I know some people see hamsters as “just hamsters” but Hammy genuinely brought me comfort and emotional support. I loved him very much.

I don’t really know how to process what happened.

cat passed away an hour ago

my baby boy passed away about two hours ago, and my mom dragged me to the family dinner with her side of the family. he was in so much pain and i can’t get it out of my head. neither of us are okay but she had promised to drive everyone to lunch and they just don’t care like we do. to top things off, i can’t tell if im being an asshole or not bc i told one of my closest friends and her response was “nooo i’m so sorry well now he can rest and not have any of his cat problems” which just felt a little insensitive to me. she has a cat too so i thought she would understand. i can’t tell what exactly i’m angry at right now, but i just wanna go home and cry until i puke. am i overreacting? i don’t wanna be mean to anyone but my moms family makes me homicidal in general.

How do you get over guilt?

We said goodbye to our 15 year old angel of a staffy today, she was my whole world and more. She had a really bad seizure on Wednesday and woke up completely blind, she gained some of her sight back in her right eye but was still completely blind in her left. Since then she was constantly banging her head hard into doors, corners, anything in her way really. She also was very weak on her back legs and fell over quite a few times and really struggled to walk up or down stairs without falling. She woke up during the night last night and fell off the bed then just spent at least an hour panting and walking into things whilst crying/whining. On her last day (today) she cried/whined a lot and was wandering around like she didn’t know what to do with herself, the rest of the time she was led down looking tired or sleeping. However she was still eating and drinking and wagged her tail and got up when my friend came round, she even got up and wagged her tail when the vet came to put her to sleep. I can’t stop thinking what if she would have gotten better? If it was really her time to go why would she still be accepting and eating treats? Why would she be wagging her tail? I can’t stop thinking I’ve done the wrong thing.

The vet checked her bloods on Wednesday and said they were more than perfect for a dog of her age, suggesting that it was more than likely a brain tumour that caused the seizure.
