My Kitten Just Died...?

Our kitten was missing about three days ago, and we thought that was kind of strange because she never leaves the front or backyard. We put up a couple signs, but now, after talking to our neighbor, we have come to the conclusion that she was eaten by a hawk. There are several in the woods over by our pond, and seeing as it is winter, it isn't unlikely. My sister and I are very sad, to the point of crying, mostly because she was so small, and she may not have been the nicest, but she was quite sweet when she wanted to be. Does anyone have any advice on coping with the situation?

Reply:I'm very sorry about your loss. I know what it feels like to loose someone/something that you love. To cope with my losses, i talked to my sister, and friends about it. It was really hard to talk about something so horrible that just happened, but it really helped. I would start crying at the worst moments possible, but all my friends were there for my. After a while i cryed so much, that i knew that my Grandfather was going to be OK in heaven. Maybe you could try just crying and crying with your sister, its going to make you both sad, but it will help.I know that your cat going to be OK in heaven








I hope you and your sister cope with this situation in a healthy/good way!
Reply:I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...its totally normal to feel upset about something like this. a pet is a source of happiness for people of all ages, and im sure you and your sister feel like part of the family is missing.





i believe in looking on the bright side of every situation, including this one! one way to look at this situation is by recognizing that your kitten was very young. although you may have bonded with her, at least she wasn't too old to the point where you are so emotionally attatched to her. I'm sure your parents will reconsider getting you and your sister another kitten. i believe that everything happens for a reason, so maybe the loss of your kitten will lead you and your family to getting an even sweeter and gentler kitten.





i'm very sorry to hear about it, but try to stay positive and treat yourself (and your sister!) to a treat!





good luck and feel better!
Reply:I know this isn't necessarily the answer for everyone, so you may already know this wouldn't work for you.


After my older brother's cat died my mom took him out to select a new kitten.


This really helped all of us cope because the late pet really was a great one, but at the same time we had a new and wonderful kitten to bond with.





Sorry to hear about this though, losing a pet is always hard.
Reply:Oh I'm so sorry. I had two cats when I was little and they were outdoor. Then we moved and both were eaten by coyotes. Take a little time getting over it and then you should go find a new one. Try getting an indoor cat so that there is no chance of this one getting eaten.
Reply:I am sorry your kitten left, but about a year ago my kitten left the house for 2 weeks and we were all very worried about her, but she came back.she was already used to the outdoors so we couldnt think she could get lost, so dont worry if shes been out a while she will find her way back





hope it works out, I love kittens
Reply:get a new one.
Reply:go look in the woods or any else place you might think your cat went.
Reply:Well, I have had the honour of hosting 20 cats over the last 10 years, and I've buried 6, including two small kittens.





On these sad occasions I go to each of the others and give them a hug and say, "I'm sorry your comrade is gone, I hope you understand that I did my best".





Dunno if they do understand, but they're all still here.





Hope this helps.
