Hello my name is Jacqueline and I'm reasonable new here.
I suppose this is not the happiest way to meet new people but I could really use some advice.
I'm having a lot of trouble coping with the loss of my 11 month old cat, Darwin. He got hit by a car on March 3 and died a couple of hours later, ever since it's just been hard to really get on with things.
In a nutshell Darwin was my buddy and he was special to me in so very many ways I think only people on here will understand.
I think the thing that made him so special to me was that we met when he was around 4/5 months old. Him being the cheeky little curious cat he was decided to go for a walk inside the local supermarket where I work. I don't think I've ever seen a cat stroll into a supermarket before.. My colleague spotted him first, but no matter what we did Darwin kept coming into the store. Eventually we decided to put him across the street. To our horror he just crossed the busy road, completely unaware of the danger he put himself into and walked right back inside. That evening after my shift ended I decided to take him with me and find out if he had an owner. Two weeks past and it seemed nobody was missing this cute little tabby cat. So, after much begging and swearing to take care of him, to pay every vet bill and every toy and other cat stuff myself my mother allowed me to keep him. That was 6 months ago.
I guess all I'm really looking for are people who can relate to my story. Who know what it feels like to lose a cat that's barely a year old, a cat you've shed more tears over than the passing of family members..
