Lost a pet today
My cat Spooky. He was 10 and a half years old. Got him and his brother when they were tiny kittens.
Several months later my mom passed away, dad got remarried about 6 months later and moved out, brother moved out. My cats were the thing that gave me comfort for a year or so after losing my mom.
Today I got up from a nap and saw him hunched over the couch. I knew it wasnt good. I'm a mess, his sibling appears depressed.
I know pets are not people but it feels like I've lost a family member and part of that comfort I had during what felt like impossible difficult times is now gone.
