Why are we born just to die?
 

Does life have meaning if it inevitably ends? One of my cats died 6 months ago. He was only 4 years old. The Vet thinks it may have been some form of Congenital Heart Disease. I keep blaming myself for his death. Maybe If I hadn't been playing P99 so much at the time, I would have noticed that he was getting skinner. Maybe I would have noticed that he wasn't moving around as much. Maybe I would have noticed he was eating less. I guess I will never know, but perhaps if I had they might have put him on some kind of heart medicine that would have prevented his death. It's hard thinking about this, because I know that now I can do nothing to help him. It was really difficult losing him. A lot like losing a son. I wonder if I will ever be fully better again.

I'm sorry about your cat.

Also don't blame yourself.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Your cat sounds like a tru champ. And was lucky to have you.

I can only speculate on the meaning of life stuff. It gets me every time. I always need excuses to keep going myself so I don't care if what I choose to believe is bullshit.

Seems like you're a good person and you miss a good cat.

Nope never gonna be ok. Still miss my dog.

Vale of Tears.

That condition in cats is progressive and incurable so the best you could have done is extended it's life somewhat. Because of how young it was, I suspect the defect was so impressive that the progression would have been unstoppable. Whether it's quality of life would have improved or stayed tolerable if you obtained treatment is hard to say.

If life has a meaning you would know it innately. Since the only thing people know innately is fucking and loving, go get yourself laid and head to the pet shelter.

Don't fuck. Go to temple.

Or fuck, and then temple.

Oh, who am I to critique such advice...

Ya. Same. A cat now is resting gently on my ankle that resembles my childhood cat. Still. :(

Also :)

Still :(

Don't need excuses for :(

Hope u get some more :) b4 curtains..

My neighbor goes to the other shelter for the other purpose.

100% not your fault.

You would have spent your nights and days away from him.

You wouldn't have noticed.

Ever quest gave your cat the best life it could have had, one with the person it loved until it could peacefully leave in your presence.

Hope this helps!

Owner? You mean caretaker. You would enslave sentient beings? Niiiiiice.

because why not choose to reincarnate into a house cat in your um, next life. Rest all night to prepare to sleep all day.
