How did you cope with your pet loss?

I dread the day my kitties will cross one day. I have four and one will be turning 11 this year and just coming across the pet loss stories on here makes me want to hold her and the others very close. I’ve never been one to handle death easily and haven’t had to mourn a close family, pet, friend death. You go from seeing your furry companion sleeping at the edge of your bed everyday to a now empty spot and a hole in your heart. I don’t mean to reopen wounds if I have but I am just not ready for the day. How does one even prepare and deal with it? It’s almost midnight and I’m just lost in my thoughts.

Why does my cat looks out of a cartoon

Caught her inside of the washing machine, the pics I got were too funny

Get a kitten they said, it'll be fun they said!

We heard a thud coming from the other room, only to discuss that Peaches learned how to make a giant leap from the chair to the dresser.

Fancy sleepy boi and a creeper

Please send help! I'm stuck like this for an hour!! I have to pee!

Show me your cats with their parents

This is Django (right) with his mother Kitty (left). She came to our door once a few years back and demanded us to adopt her. I didn't know she was pregnant, then she gave birth to this little devil along with 3 others.

Do you think bros mad at me

Ruined my shirt but looked so cute doing it

What to do with this little fella ?

Hello, a stray cat that I occasionnally feed in my garden has dropped her kitten in my wood reserve yesterday morning or 2 nights ago and she has gone MIA since yesterday afternoon. I was wondering if it's a normal behaviour for a mom to leave her kitten alone for quite some times, I have not witnessed the mom nurse it but it kind of grew up a bit since birth I guess ?? I have no idea how many days can this guy be aged. Concerning his left eye that looks infected, I washed it yesterday with some phy.serum on a gauze as it as some gunk that looks like pus around and in its eye, it seems a tiny bit better this morning. Any advice on what I should do ? Let the mom take care of it (she might have some other kitten elsewhere ?) ? Buy special kitten milk ? Vet is not an option as of right now I can't take it there. Thank you!
