I'm So Sad Options

[pipsqueak]

I lost one of my cats yesterday. She was hit by a car and died soon afterwards from massive internal injuries. It was the loveliest day of the year so far and minutes earlier she had been rolling around in a patch of sunshine on my kitchen floor. I feel so sad that she's no longer under my feet, scratching my stair carpet, in the corner of my eye. She was so gentle and lovely and I feel so sad that she suffered and I could do nothing to help. Waves of grief come over me and I keep crying.

Thank you DannysMom for the kind words and advice.

You've made me smile as only today I noticed that Tigger (my remaining cat) seems to be comfort eating rather than be off his food. I seem to be getting through just as much food if not more, since Rave has passed.

My home backs onto fields and my cats love it in the summer. I think the mice can live a little easier this summer as Tigger isn't a great mouser unlike Raven. He's a bit of a homebody but they do love to wander in the wheat field, you can just spot a tail every now and again.

Too many animals are killed by traffic. I live in the countryside and feel sorry about every dead creature I pass (and there are always plenty).

Evenings and bedtime are the worst aren't they as your mind mulls over recent events. Time for bed for me, I'm sure Tigger will join me and squeeze as close as he can to me - is he comforting me or am I comforting him ?

Peace to us all.
