My black cat Raven cries a lot now...

[Archae]

Since Charlotte died, Raven, my black cat cries a lot. when I wake up.

She's so lonely now...

1. I'm so sorry, and I know how you feel.

[CousinIT]

2. Give her extra love. She'll return it and you need it too! n/t

7. That's the best immediate response...

3. Poor kitty.😿 Adopt her another sibling?

You never outgrow your need for pets.

4. Yes, they are so lonely and confused when their loved ones leave suddenly. So sad.

5. Poor girl. You are grieving together. Hold close in love. Maybe a new sibling,

if and when you are ready?

6. My son had two cats,

Margot and Linus. They were littermates, together since birth.

Linus died recently. They had exhausted all possible forms of help.

My son feels that Margot saw it coming. She seems to be adjusting.

I am sorry. Lavish Raven with love.

8. So sorry...

Our Sophie died in December, and Purrcy has been losing weight, not eating well. Will only eat soft food. Vet says heart, lungs and teeth ok. He's almost 17 and they had been together for 15. However, Wednesday he gets a new little sister. Just might help.

9. Perhaps she is just letting you know...

That she sees how sad you are and is trying to comfort you. She knew it was coming and knows where Charlotte went and surely feels the separation too. But maybe you both just need to focus on each other for a little while.

10. I'm so sorry

Sending lots of love to you and Raven. Mayhap a kitten for Raven in a while?

11. I discovered

that grief when my Mirena passed on. Her brother Terrence howled for months and stood looking down the walkway "hoping" to see her approach. When I lost my wife, I felt EXACTLY as Terrence acted. Grief is a universal for all who love. It is the great mystery of life and love and loss and how that creates new meaning and drives us to enjoy the very things we feel we have lost. I am sorry, Raven. Only time will heal this but being around for Raven now, holding her and giving the affection she needs so dearly from her friend who can no longer be physically present is a supreme kindness. For me, the grief of an animal is almost inconsolable...I cannot bear to watch their suffering. Peace Raven, RIP Charlotte and peace, strength and understanding for you.

12. Poor Raven is so sad, too. Needs extra kitty love, which I'm sure you've already been giving him

[CaptainTruth]

14. Aww, animals grieve too. Raven needs extra love now.

[tblue37]

15. When I lost a cat in 2005, I got a kitten so my other cat wouldn't be alone when I went to work.

[brer cat]

16. I found it much harder to deal with my pet's grief than my own.

About all you can do is shower Raven with attention and love.

[raging moderate]

17. I'm so sorry, for Charlotte and for Raven and for you.

I have had many cats grow old and die, in my 75 years. It is always horrible, no matter how you handle it. Of course Raven is crying for Charlotte. And of course you are crying for Charlotte. It is also horrible when people you love die. And the pain never goes away; you feel sorrow all your life for all those you have lost. But also you have the wonderful memories of the love you all shared, and the sorrow is the price you pay for those wonderful memories. And the love you shared stays true forever! Charlotte really lived, and she really loved you and Raven, and you and Raven really loved her! And that is a triumph over the darkness! So give extra cuddles to Raven, and share your memories of Charlotte!
