My Dad's cat died

Aw, that is just too, too sad. I'm so sorry to hear this. Hugs to you and your dad. It's so hard to lose a pet.

I'm pretty sentimental about my own animals and I am a cat lover as well. They really do become like one of the family.

Condolences.

I'm sorry about your dad's cat--losing a pet is really tough because they're like our children.

So sorry to hear about your loss, for you and your dad.

I'm sorry to hear this. The fact that "he loved them a lot" is what's important.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad's cat. That's a huge loss for him.

{{{HUGS}}} I'm so sorry...

consider yourself cyber-hugged I am so sorry

I understand completely. Lots of hugs coming your way. A friend of mine had something similar happen after spaying her cat, but she didn't die immediately. They messed up her throat with some sort of tube, and she had a hard time breathing but actually lived for a couple of years. It's a very small risk, but that doesn't make it any easier when it happens to you.

A suggestion, since it sounds like he really needs a declawed cat. If you get another one, ask the local shelters for a cat that is already declawed. That way, you don't have to take another risk. Be careful though...I tried that with my cat Vinnie because I was in a furnished apt. They told me he was declawed, but I found out he wasn't when I got him home. He had been next up for euthanasia so I kept him and managed to divert him to scratching post. But most of the time you'd hope they'd KNOW which cats are declawed!

Hugs.
Our pets do wind themselves around our hearts.

Big hugs to you and your dad. Losing a pet is miserable. I've lost five cats over the years, and it breaks my heart every damn time. The daft little beasts matter. I'm so glad he still has one to cuddle and hope they both stay well.

Make sure your father is feeling fine, even if he says that everything is a-okay - he might get the feeling that he is being a burden, and not want to share his emotions. Pay him an unannounced visit, cheer him up a little.

Every animal has its' own personality, especially cats and dogs, so if you get him another cat make sure it's a happy and contented little ball of fur.

So sorry, Mary and for your dad. etc.

So sorry, MM. I'm sure you were just doing the best you could for your cat and your dad. Who knows, the kitty might have had a heart problem or something.

I send you cyber love from me and my kitty Cricket. Take care of yourself and your dad.

My cat Max and I send our regards.
