Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.


Did your cat run off?
I once worked on guys front porch under neither the thing and found a mummified cat under there....so sad that someone did not know what had happened to their cat and here it was under the porch dead and mummified...
I know the pain of having an outside cat go missing as my semi feral cat Tess went missing in 2012. I cried and looked for her for months. I actually contacted an animal communicator and was told she is being taken care of by a man that also feeds several other feral cats. I don't know if it's really true or not but I would rather think she is being taken care of and happy. The only reason I do believe it's possible is because she was being fed somewhere else and was coming less often and not staying long when she did come around.
I also once had a feral cat that went missing for over a year. One day I spotted him in the neighborhood and a few months later he found his way back to my house.
I will be praying for her safe return.......hugs.
P.S. She was only almost 3yrs. old. so very young
I had a dream with my mother one time. It wasn't an ordinary dream it was a visit "from beyond" different than other dreams. And when she came to see me she was walking up and had 2 dogs running around her playing. I of course assumed they were my two, although I don't remember now if I saw them clearly. I think I did see one clearly at the time. But it gave me great peace to know they found her and she was an animal lover just like me, or me, just like her. And that they were together and happy.
The other thing is, that you are right not to give up hope. I know people who have found their cats after more time than that. One was scared off by a fire at their house and it was a month or more later, she was back at the house still pulling out things and the cat showed up. Another time, a neighbors cat was found in someones' rafters in their garage. He was sick and dehydrated but alive. Then there is the idea that someone did pick her up. But if something did happen and she is gone, I do believe you will be reunited. Life is life and it doesn't just disappear, that doesn't seem to be how physics works.
When we lost our beloved boxer I was so devastated and kept crying wondering where he was and hoped he was not alone, I couldn't get these thoughts out of my head, if someone can just let me know for sure he is okay....
One night in a dream my deceased grandfather came to me and my boxer was walking at the side of him, no words were spoken and I remember every single detail and this was 8 years ago (one of my older boxers) so I absolutely know it was more than a dream.
Afterwards I woke up with such a sense of peace and knew he was with my grandfather, never had anything like that happen before.
