I lost Tigger yesterday and had a sleepless night doing the "should-of, could-of" game in my head. My best friend who is another cat mom goes thru the same agonizing process whenever she loses her cats. Doesn't matter if your heart tells you it was the right thing to do, or that there were no medical options for that cat, your mind kicks into overdrive on all the things you could have done differently that would have kept them with you longer. Maybe its because I've lost 5 cats in the last 18 months (2 ferals, 1 to CRF, 1 to a stroke and Tigger to heart failure), that I'm overly sensitive right now.
Is this just me? Does anyone else have this problem and what do you do to quiet your mind?
