My father told me that he thinks our cat is “on the way out”. On Christmas Eve. All I could say is “Why would you say that to me?” and go to the bathroom, my safe place. I turned on the water and cried for half an hour, my mind going to different places where I would be in less emotional turmoil. I wish I could experience everything I imagine for real, but I am not meant for any of that. I thought maybe I made it up in my head, and my father didn’t say any of that to me. He didn’t even apologize for making me upset. Then my sister showed me the Christmas gift she got for our cat and I wanted to cry. My heart can only break so many times! I love my cat so much, I don’t want to live without her. She’s our last cat left, I will be devastated when she dies. I don’t want her to go. I wish he hadn’t brought it up. I feel as though my Christmas is ruined. I hope she is okay.

you will get through this, this is just a small dilemma, although tough. also you should really have a talk and explain how much it hurt you when your dad said that and he might realize it, its worth a try if you havent already
He may not have meant to be insensitive. Like stuckwiththisusername said, it might help to tell him. And I am sorry if she passes away soon. I know its an awful thing to lose a pet.
I know how you feel. I tried to give my cat, Annabel, to the lovely shelter cause with everything that’s going on right now I just can’t keep her safe. I broke down and cried trying to drive to the shelter. It was horrible. I even had to pull of the rode for a minute.
Annabel, is still with me. I keep her outside and feed her every morning. She just lays on the porch content.
I hope your cat lives awhile longer. And if she does pass, it’ll be okay. Please, enjoy your Christmas with her. Everything will be okay.
what to you mean pumpkinlover that you cant keep her safe?
I live with a raging asshole. This guy has some serious rage and a month ago is beloved 15 year old bird passed away. I have no idea from what, or how. He found out and went blistic. Started bashing chairs and knocking shit over. Then a week ago, his 10 year old cat passed away. Feels like some kind of omen. 😮
I’m terrified he will hurt her. He thinks, it was partly my fault. It’s truly not. I feel for those animals.
Oh pumpkinlover.. 🙁 What are your thoughts on getting away from this person?
It’s very painful when a loved pet dies, some people don’t get it, but you become attach to a pet so its death really affects you. Your father may have thought he was preparing you for the eventual death, thinking it would be better for you to be pre-warned. Time means you will get over it, I felt terrible when my dog died, still miss him years latter. Just sorry it’s happened to you now and in this way, hope he’s wrong, and that she’ll be okay.
