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.

I got a Cat (Tigger) 12 years ago when he was 8 months old from a friend who was pregnant and then about 6 months later got him a playmate (Spice). When I met my wife to be, and we moved in together she wanted her own kitten so we got Penny, my two wouldn't go near her, so yep, we ended up getting her a playmate (Speckles). Both Penny and Speckles gave us quite a few litters of kittens which we sold.
When Speckles had her last litter, she gave birth to one and then needed a Ceasarean this was the day after our Civil Partnership Ceremony. She then rejected her 2 surviving kittens. Fortunately Penny was pregnant at the time and took on Speckles two. We then went off on our honeymoon. A couple of days into our honeymoon the cat sitter rang us to tell us to ring the Vet urgent.
Speckles had had complications and was seriously ill, they wanted to give her 24 hours and then it was decision time. Penny had had 2 kittens and then needed Cesarean to deliver the rest.
The following day they decided to operate on Speckles to find out what was happening and she died under the anaesthetic.
Penny survived and brought up her 3 and Speckles 2.
I still beat myself up every day for not being with her at the end. I always swore after Ben that I would be there for them all at the end, but it was a bit difficult being in USA on holiday.
We still have 4 cats, as we decided to keep one of Speckles kittens.
We have to do a double take every time we see him, he is so similar to her facially. However temperament he is nothing like her. It's almost like he's trying to make up for the cuddles etc that his mum didn't give us.
He never really knew his mum as he was only 3/4 days old when she died and she hadn't been looking after him at all.
This may seem silly, but we had Speckles cremated and have her ashes on our fireplace. We keep talking to Lucky about his real mum and I sometimes take him over to her ashes.
I feel so bad that I was not here to hold her when she died and i did not get to say goodbye to her....I miss her so much and I feel like I lost a huge part of me.
She went everywhere with me and I swear she even had her own way of talking to me...I use to sing the song "I am on top of the world" by the carpenters to her a couple times a week and she would howl and sing with me....Actually I think she was howling begging me to shut up because my singing was so bad!!! LOL
