My beautiful cat, Tequila, was hit by a car on 11th September this year around 10:25 am. She died on the spot in the middle of the street. It still hurts so much every day to wait for her to come home again. I miss her every morning, because she doesn't wake me up. I miss her when I come home from work, because she is not waiting for me to be petted. And I miss her in the evening, when she should be cuddling on my lap while I'm reading on the couch. She was my jumping piece of luck, but on that faithful day she ran out of luck. I will hang this picture of her next to her favorite spot on the couch.

Rest in peace Tequila.

I don’t disagree with you, but it’s THIS kind of “Reddit” bullshit that we don’t need on Lemmy. Your comment doesn’t solve anything. It doesn’t make anyone feel good but you. In fact, it hurts people. Have some restraint.

If you want to be on a better social network than Reddit, then start acting like it.

Agreed. I don't particularly like posts like this either because they bum me out and bring back emotions from when I lost my dog. It sucks. But I think as long as there are communities about animals there will inevitably be people who engage with them as a way to process their grief. I think accepting that just comes with the territory.

OP, I'm very sorry for your loss. RIP Tequila. I hope you are able to find healing soon. Give yourself some time every day to grieve.
