Yesterday i lost my beloved 3yr old cat, and i cant seem to process it because it happened so suddently, and tragically. And i dont know how to deal with it.
So I am a student and live just 2 hours away from home, and yesterday i got a call from my mom while just grocery shopping that our cat had passed away, and she was not able to tell me how because of her crying, so my dad took over the phone and told that me that she was found stuck in the tumble dryer, just locked in not turned on. I could not believe it at first, because she was all very carefull and healthy cat. The worst case is that they did not check the dryer because they thought she just ran away somewhere outside and so they went looking for her. And she was just inside all along, alone..
So that night i was not able to cry, because I was still in shock and could not believe what happened and i felt emty inside and went to sleep hopping it was a dream. As i woke up i felt as bad and empty as the night and got out to take the first train home. It was devastating to go inn to an «empty» house, as i was always met with my cat waiting for me. Thats when it hit me the most, as i saw her toys. And i cried for hours. Me parrents are also totally ruined as they had to se her laying there.
The thing that just does not feel right is the fact that she was just 3 years old and had no issues what so ever, and one stupid accident like that just turned everything uppside down. The fact that she died here. I just truly cant understand how to cope.
She was a birthday gift to me when i turned 17, and just five days ago i turned 20. She was a cat dedicated towards me, but I could not take her with me when i moved out the first year, so I had plans to bring her with me later on. I had these dreams that my cat will one day meet my kids. She truly helped me, and i stil remember really clearly the first days i got her. I miss and love her so much, she was truly special.
So please make sure to give your pets extra love and playtime every time you see them, you are a whole world for them and they are just a part of ours. And always make sure they are safe before leaving the house or whatever.
