My cat died and I feel empty

Last Saturday, my cat disappeared and I never saw him again. At first, I did not think of it.  Not knowing that it would be his last day on earth. That morning, he slept on my bed like a baby.  I even checked on him if he was alright.  That afternoon, I was doing some catch-up with work when he came out from my room and saw him flinched from his long mid-afternoon sleep. That night, he never came back.  Usually, I would shake his cat food bottle to signal him to come home to his mother but to no avail, he never showed up.  I was a little worried as he always went home and being a house cat, he never wondered far from where I lived.

You see, he was born in my room.  I taught him how to use a litter box, and I taught him how to be sweet with Tawas, the other neighbor’s cat who loves to wonder by my home. Every time I would leave the house, he would always welcome me when I came back.  I was his mother.  I treated like my own.  To some, this might be trivial but not to me.  He was my world.  He was special. He knew when I was happy.  He knew when I was sick or down.  He knew me inside and out.

On Sunday, I went for a short errand.  When I came back, my landlord mentioned seeing a dead cat on the middle of the street that morning. He said he poked it. According to him, he did not recognize the cat.  I wished he told me earlier. I could have said my last good-bye and gave him a decent burial. Never saw again. He just never came back.

Never did I anticipate the pain of losing a pet that I cared for since birth.  He will be missed.  When I get a chance and find a carbon copy of my chubby, sweet, and endearing cat, I will adopt.

Rest in peace MEDYAS! I will always love you.

    I am sorry to hear of your loss. When my first cat died, (Charlie) I was devastated, and I still have a difficult time when my animal companions pass from this world. My consolation is that I believe I will see them again some day. I also get “messages” from my animals, particularly Charlie. May you receive consolations as time passes, and the pain eases.

    1. Thank you so much.

      I have this cat. When my cat disappeared, my other cat started mimicking like him. His meow – his every action. He is now a gentler cat compared to before when he used to be irritating and noisy.

  5. I am sorry for your loss. Same thing happened to me when I was a kid, our cat just left and never came back. I have never heard about him or seen him since then. Hope all is well for you.

    1. So sorry for your lost. He was my very first pet. When he disappeared, my heart sunk so deep. Never knew that was possible. Cried and cried. It has been 3 months, I still call out his name. I now moved and my new pet has the same white looking sucks on his feet but she is now a girl. I feel that the cat is the reincarnation of my baby. My love for him, will never die. Stay strong. If you need a friend, feel free to contact me anytime.

    1. No problem. I dont mind. Sometimes people miles away are the ones that help you more than the one that are closes to you. Take care and your cat is looking after you in cat heaven.
