How To Deal With the Loss of a Pet, and my Experience.

-
Recently, I re-discovered this blog, it filled me with joy, but also with grief. Both cats that I wrote about then have died, see my post about letting cats outside for more information. They died at different times but Albee had a much longer life than Frank did. Albee being 8 and Frank 2. When Albee died we got a new baby kitten, of course, there was a gap for grieving, which I think is very important. Her name is Cujo and she's the love of my life! Although you should give yourself time to grieve getting a pet for some people can be a really beneficial and therapeutic way of processing death.

The Importance of Pets


Pets are extremely beneficial for mental health and overall happiness.  They are like a best friend, who will never leave your side. When a pet dies, it's a terrible thing, but it's important to grow and mature afterward. Without forgetting about the pet you lost. Pets get you through the rough patches in life like no other human can, and when you have a truly wonderful relationship with your pet it's beautiful!

Saying Goodbye

Sometimes when your best friend is dying it's hard for you to say goodbye. If you feel that you are incapable of saying goodbye I understand that and you shouldn't. However, if you can I highly recommend saying goodbye to your cat. It gives you closure in a time where you most certainly need it! I got to say goodbye to Frank but had to step out of the room when he was getting put down. It wasn't right for me and I don't regret it. I also am glad I got to be in some of his last moments. Do whatever is right for you.

Famous Cats

Lil BUB Have you heard of the extremely well known cat Lil BUB? If you have I am not surprised. Lil BUB is a cat who was found by a man known as Mike Bridavsky. Mike found her in a run down tool shed in Indiana.  Lil BUB  was a runt in a litter that surprisingly was healthy. After Mike had fell in love  with her  and she was taken in as a rescue in need of very special care, they became famous! One of the main reasons why is because she was unhealthy she had a messed up tongue that- to this day- always hangs out of her mouth.  Lil BUB also has five fingers on each paw. I recall Mike once calling her bad surroundings as a baby a very special accident. You can find Lil BUB on twitter @IAMLILBUB, Facebook @iamlilbub, and Instagram @iamlilbub. Lil BUB now lives in Bloomington, Philadelphia. This is some links to Lil BUB's website and an interview with Mike Bridavsky http:/lilbub.com/ https://www.timeout.com/kuala-lump...

Why is my White Cat so Dumb?

Why is My White Cat So Dumb? White Cats With Blue Eyes Corrina Maltarich            I was on vacation with my family and we were looking at our white cat with blue eyes Frank, he was behind a chair playing with a toy on the other end of the chair leg he was by. Rather than putting both his paws on one side of the chair leg get at the toy he wrapped his arm around the leg and tried, did not succeed, to get the toy this way. Now, we always make fun of Frank for being dumb and were doing that right then, the difference was I remembered that I had heard someone tell me that almost 50% of white cats were blind or deaf. I told the person I was with and they said it was possible that was why Frank was so slow. I did some research and I found out that most blue-eyed white cats are deaf. I know for a fact that Frank is not deaf but the fact that 90% of cats like him are was probably why Frank was so slow to react to many things....
