Two Months On
13 September 2007, 2:41 pm in Personal
Today is the two-month anniversary of my cat’s death. It’s.. interesting, to say the least. I’m not as sad as I was. Actually, I still am sad, just not all the time. I’ve stopped thinking I’m seeing him outside the door, wanting to be let in as often as I used to. And I don’t cry at night when I’m trying to sleep.
I still miss him, though.
I’m glad that I went crazy with my new digicam before he died - he was what I took pictures of. So now I share them with you.
In other news, I gave blood yesterday. So be nice.

Getting over a loved pet’s death is hard. I had to put down my cat Cody (who I grew up with) two days before my 16th birthday because he had epilepsy. But now he’s in a better place.
Time will heal everything, as corny as it sounds.
Those pictures were very cute. His ears have such personality.
Thanks. This was the first time anyone, human or animal, that I really cared for/been close to had died, so it’s a new experience.
And thanks. He was an awesome little cat, albeit old and trying to kill everyone by making everyone trip over him (he broke a little old lady’s hip and gave her a heart attack… she didn’t want to see him after that).
And you’re right. Time does help. I’m never going to stop missing him, but it’s not as constant a pain.
I’m afraid I can’t offer anything on your cat’s death because my dog died last April and I’m still not over it! However, I gave blood on Saturday so kudos to you for doing that
It’s not so much getting over it, as being not so consumed by it. We knew this day would come eventually - he was 18/19 (we’re not quite sure) - just not when. It was a toss up between him and my grandmother, actually.
And kudos to you for giving blood also. My dad’s been a blood donor for many many years, and when I was younger I used to go with him when he gave plasma and there was no one to babysit. So there was never a question of not doing it.
More people need to do it.
I give blood! *nod*
