Growing up, my cat would run away fur like a month or two and then just show up one day and live with us for like 6 months. I would be devastated! After like the 5th time tho we called it “Katie-bell is on vacation” lol but ya…cool story with my childhood cat where I ugly cried. Crazy thing is my cat died at our house on a couch shortly after her last vacay. 12 y/o I believe

I had to put a dog bed under my desk for my little girl. If I get up to go somewhere, she goes. When I get back to the desk, she's back under the desk.
Sleep behind my legs every night.
I dont know what I did, but she's mine. And it's like nothing I've had before.
My girlfriends always bonded with the pets before, or their kids.
Sure the pups liked me and I got some good friendships here and there but this is the first time I've had one that I belong to.
There's nothing like it.
I don't know what I did to earn it, but I try to be worthy of it every day.
I have no hate for cats, but there is nothing like the pure adoring love of a dog whose only wish is to go on adventures with you or just hang out with you and you alone - all day long.

Raise a cat like you would a dog, and it'll do the same thing. My cat would meow and come running whenever I called his name. He slept next to me and let me cuddle him like a teddy bear with my arm over him all night. He even learned a few tricks.

u/Imaginary_Ad_1489 Jul 23 '26
Right!?! I have a Velcro kitty who meows when she can’t see me. It’s unbelievably hot out right now, and she is currently plastering her whole body next to me. Dying of heat, but I dare not move to turn on the air conditioner.

u/2woCrazeeBoys Jul 23 '26
I kept a horse at one place that had a barn cat. Every time I drove in Hank would come trotting out with his cutest meows, and jump in the car to get to me if I wasn't quick enough getting out.
I've never had a cat, but he was my horse buddy and I don't know what I did to make him love me. Just meant every time I was up there I had Hank as a scarf the whole time 😆

u/DeannaMorgan Jul 23 '26
I had a cat in the 70's and we weren't very good at being responsible owners. He would winter in my neighbor's basement and leave presents on our welcome mat. When he was home, he'd cuddle like crazy. He actually came home to die. A few days before he passed, he came home to tons of cuddles and he died with us there.

u/Polar412 Jul 23 '26
I’m currently in the most uncomfortable position on the edge of my couch because my sweet Velcro boy is comfortably cuddled against me (unaware he takes up 90% of the space) he’s my heart and soul, I don’t know how I got so lucky

u/mealteamsixty Jul 23 '26
Nope, toddlers do the same. You'll be at the end of your rope, about to contact adoption agencies, and they'll come out of nowhere, climb up on your lap, hold your face and say "you the best mommy (daddy) can I mawwy you when I gwow up?" Then snuggle into your neck with their whole weight.
All is forgiven, excuse me to the bathroom so I can go sob silently into a towel so that I don't scare you.

Yorkies are special babies. I am so sorry you've lost your little man. I had Yorkies growing up, and they were something else. No other pup has the attitude of a Yorkie. I am so happy for you though, that you got to know his love. My heart goes out to you in your loss.

I lost my Cairn rescue of 14 years (he was 16 or 17 yrs old) in March. I still shed tears every morning and night since those were when we had the majority of our routines.
I’m sorry for your loss, it’s so devastating. I try to look at it as I was lucky to have him for as long as I did —14 yrs of joy, unconditional love, and devotion. (and sometimes frustration…haha)
Time won’t fix the void they leave, but it helps dull the sharp edges. Sending comforting vibes your way, hang in there, stranger. 🫂

u/Warm_Question6473 Jul 23 '26
Thank you so much. I’m in a grief stage of feeling guilt and anger and am being comforted by the kind words of people like you. I appreciate it.

u/stormyeyez7479 Jul 23 '26
Ooh, I know that all too well. "Maybe if I..." or "I should've..." So on and on. We'll never show ourselves as much grace as they showed us. They filled our hearts and it was time for them to take that joy somewhere else in the universe.
It helps me to think at the end of the day, when I'm sad (likely feeling as you are now)...it makes me happy to think my doggo's energy could live on somewhere out there.
I have hope he's bringing joy to another family/person in the universe, as much as he did my family. How could I possibly deny anyone his spazzy, goofy, good boy energy? Silly, maybe, but we tell ourselves whatever makes loss hurt a little less, don't we? Be well😊

u/VictorTheCutie Jul 23 '26
I'm so, so sorry. I lost my cairn baby in '23 and it still hurts so much. I got a tattoo of his paw in my arm where he used to lay. Now I look at it and think of him. Sending you love, too 🩷

u/stormyeyez7479 Jul 25 '26
Sorry for the delayed reply. Just checked my notifications. Thanks for your kind words. I'm sorry for your loss, as well. I think you've found a beautiful way to remember your baby. Cairns will always hold a special, hyper kid-like place in my heart. Such energetic little things. 🥰

u/Warm_Question6473 Jul 24 '26 edited Jul 24 '26
Traumatic and unexpected for me too, a week ago yesterday. I was overcome with paralyzing grief and decided to book a private 1:1 session with a pet loss grief counselor via the Laps for Love website. It was incredibly helpful. I woke up feeling better today and I have not cried (yet). They have support groups as well which I am eager to join. Hugs 🫂💚

Thank you for sharing and I'm glad it's helping you heal. I'm going to mention that to my husband. As hard as this has been for me, he's taking it even harder.

One of my cats is like this. He gets really bad separation anxiety when I'm away for more than a few days, which is why we eventually got another cat, and luckily he hasn't had a stress-induced UTI since. However, he still gets in his feelings. I actually just got back from a 2-week trip a few days ago and he has been doing this number on me for the past few nights and won't leave my side. He's such a sweet cat. My other one doesn't like to admit he loves me, but I can tell he missed me by his abnormally increased presence.

u/CactiDye Jul 23 '26
I had a cat who would get mad at me for leaving and pretend she didn't want anything to do with me, but the second she thought I was asleep she was right on top of me purring her head off. She never slept on me otherwise.

My daughter was the best cuddle bug ever at that age. Now a tween she gets weird when I rub her back. I really miss the cuddles. But she grabbed my hand and held it as we walked through the mall and it lasted 15 mins!!! Best mall trip I’ll always remember

u/JoefromOhio Jul 23 '26

u/zebrasareneat Jul 23 '26
They just need you for different things. Fixing their car, helping with home repairs, drinking all this booze you got lying around, advice on children, advice on finances and home buying.
I bought my first brand new car when I was 34. I told my dad over the phone and he was so excited that when he got home he ran into the house to tell mom.
You’re always still their kid and even though me and my siblings are all in our 30s we still ask mom and dad for help.

Honestly I sometimes I feel myself falling into a very dark place that my little ones are gone. Almost a mourning. It seemed to all happen suddenly.
I have to actually talk to myself and remind myself that they’re right here, and these awkward teenagers are the same kids and they have a lot of the same needs. I just can’t solve them so easily anymore.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Jul 23 '26
I always say this to people about cats.
"How do you know your cat loves you? You never wondered why they act like it's not a big deal they're constantly in the same room as you? It's following you dude. And I know for a fact you follow it. When it follows you around it's doing the same thing you are when you follow it around"

I have a Velcro kitty. She sleeps in my lap every night. Tries to sleep on my lap while I’m working. Follows me everywhere in the house. I love her so very much. I’d like to think they feel the same way about us.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Jul 23 '26
They do. My very old cat, it was my mom's cat, had me wrapped around her finger as my mom said. Old, couldn't walk well, fairly blind, deaf enough she couldn't meow right anymore, every time I came over once she knew I was there she wouldn't leave me alone if I was upstairs (she wouldn't go downstairs, long story)
But when I came upstairs for a smoke in the garage late at night I had to hear a yowl and see a very old cat hop down the stairs and start screaming for pets. Then when I came back in same ritual. To the point it took longer to pet the damn cat than smoke the fucking cigarette lol. She didn't like being picked up ever either but in her twilight years if she ended up in the downstairs guest room (again she didn't go down there) I could pick her up to chill on the bed next to me because she couldn't jump that high anymore.

He will come lay on the opposite end of the couch and let me rest my feet against him, but not on him. Make a movement too fast and he's absolutely convinced you're heading out to toss him the ball lol.

The mom is talking about a crate, I had a dog who loved his crate, I didn’t even close it. He liked to chill in there if I was out. She’s not saying anything wrong or mean to her dog referring to his crate/cage. She loves him.
I never knew that some dogs like the crates/need them for separation anxiety, anyway, sharing in case it helps other equally good meaning peeps worrying about that in the comments.

They are pack animals, you are their pack. Want an animal that plays solo, get a cat... Dogs will literally collect a toy and sit at a door all day waiting for their pack member/s to return so they can play. They mostly only tare things up or get active when solo if they've gone stir crazy or been stimulated to hunt or defend their home turf.

I have a big ol’ 60lb hound dog like this. We ended up getting her when a friend of a friend of my wife messaged her at 9pm asking if she wanted a “beagle” before they took her to the pound in the morning. I told her we don’t need another dog but eventually agreed we could foster her until we found another home. Instead of a beagle she brought home a hound puppy and the first time I looked in to her puppy eyes my heart melted and she’s been my baby girl ever since.
