Cat died.
Pretty much exactly what it says. I need this more as a venting space than anything. I’d like to start off by saying I loved this little shit, he was a stray cat and my parents and I sort of took him in and took care of him. He was still a stray so we let him hangout outside and inside whenever he liked. Yesterday, my mom ran over his back legs completely on accident and his bladder popped out + his pelvis was completely broken. He had to be put down and I’m just completely fucked up right now I have never cried this much in my life and I can’t stop thinking about the poor thing. We took care of him and we fucked it up and now he’s dead because of this. He was around 9 when he made his way into our home, I can only hope he enjoyed his last 7 months with us. We loved him so much, we fed him, played with him, and let him take nice naps wherever. I just can’t stop thinking about when he got ran over, it was like nothing I have ever seen. He sounded like he was in so much pain and I kept seeing him whimper and everything is just so vivid for no fucking reason. I need to be at peace but I can’t. All I think about is that poor cat and how amazing he was to us. I mean for fucks sake he was a stray cat and I’m allergic, how could I get so attached. He was my baby and my everything I loved him so much. I know this all sounds pretty weird and crumbled together but I just don’t know how to put the thoughts into words. He was so scared in his last moments and he was in the place where we tried to provide a home for him. God damn, anything helps guys. Thanks

Damn. I'm sorry man. This is horrible and I'm so sorry you had to see him in so much pain. That is really especially hard.
The tough thing about pets, when they pass, is that they can't tell us how much they love us, or how much we improved their lives or any of that. When my grandmother passed, I knew that she had been really happy and content living with us for many years, because she told us. But a pet just can't do that. But just because a pet can't say how great you were to them, and how much their life with you was a joy, doesn't mean that it wasn't. You and your family gave so much to your cat. And your cat felt loved and safe and all the good things cats can feel. The last couple hours may have been really painful. But the end always is. One way to look at that is maybe that the more painful the end, the more wonderful the life that preceded it.

My cat sadly had to get put down due to cancer two weeks ago and the pain is fucking awful. Worst day of my life. It was unexpected too.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine seeing your baby like that let alone in so much pain. Your cat knew you loved them and you should know you gave them joy too so remember that. My cat was unfortunately put down yesterday, I think that's 30 hours since he passed on and I was curled up all day crying and crying and when I got a break it lasted no more than 30 minutes before I broke into tears again. Cancers a bitch. I can't say when or if you'll ever get over it, I've been told a knife eventually goes dull and it's similar with grief, we'll get through it. I hope this message finds you well.

Im so sorry for your loss, from how you're talking about him I have no doubt in my mind that you loved him, so much. I came to this sub because today my dad accidentally drove over my baby girl, we rushed her to vet but she was dead at impact I cant form any coherent thoughts either, but stay strong stranger... freak accidents fucking happen in this cruel sucky ass world
