We Found Him BUT...


Question Posted Thursday December 18 2003, 7:43 pm

*SIGH* We found Caspian. Dead. Hit by a car, as a matter of fact. What really gets me is he was about three feet from our house... he had been trying to come home! Any ideas on how to not become even more majorly depressed?

Just think of it like this:
He is in a better place now and he will go every where with you.

I'm sorry about Caspian. I know how you feel. I've had two of my cats run away before...and I don't have hope for one of them that ran away four years ago. His name was Tomorrow (Tom for short. He was one of my favorite cats and he was orange with little white spots in certain places on his fur. I'm still and torn up about this. I have his sister Kathy still. She is one of the best cats too. She is the only cat I have now, and I used to have so many because my best friend/cat was Callie had so many litters, and those cats had litters.
Callie died last year because she had lukemia. She understood a lot of things that many cats don't understand. She once stood beside my parents' room and meowed until they came out to see that something on the stove was burning. I miss her and I still cry about her. When she was sick I'd read her the fourth Harry Potter book. ...But I never got to finish it to her.
I loved her and my whole family cried the day that she died. It's totally normal to be very upset about this kind of thing...but I just miss her so much.
But...I pray which makes me feel better, and then I dream about her after I pray before I go to sleep. I also prayed to see my other cat that ran away before, Tahlula...(I know its a girls name...and he's a boy but I didn't know he was a boy when he was born)...and I saw Tahlula again. He comes back every year for winter, and sometimes he stays until fall and half of spring. I see him every once in a while and I feed him and I try to pet him and I have a few times. He remembers me but he's just scared. I pray for almost every night because he's practically out in the wild and I want him to be safe.

So, to answer your question there is no way you can really get out of this. You will grow out of it. You will still miss Caspian and love this cat very much but there's nothing you can do about what happened. Just pray, trust me, it helps if you just talk to got for a few minutes or a few hours even if you would like, and you just say whats on your mind. It helps a lot, and some of my prayers have even come true when I prayed. There really is a God.
Good Luck...and even if you start to feel better about the situation with Caspian, just remember that it's okay to still have fun even though you feel bad, and you will love him no matter what and he'll know that...because animals are smart creatures even if we don't always see that.

Deanimal answered Saturday December 20 2003, 11:58 pm:
Not getting depressed sounds pretty immpossible. I assume Caspian is someone you know quite well. A family member, perhaps? Get some counseling, try to carry on, remember the good times, grieve with friends and family, shedule some alonetime, find a new hobby. Do whatever you need to do. Let yourself cry and get sad, that's gonna happen. But get some counseling for sure.

chaos answered Friday December 19 2003, 10:30 am:
Ah. I am so sorry to hear that. You might consider a new animal or volunteering at a shelter or a "no kill" pet organization. You could foster a needy kitty until you are ready for a new pet.
Remember all the good stuff, and that you took good care of him.

An idea that would keep you from being majorly depressed is to think about all the good days you had with him. Every night before you go to bed think about a good thing and always remember....Caspian will always be with you...in your heart forever.

:-( ohh you poor thing!! I know exactley what your going through. My cat got eaten by coyotes! What I did was I tried to put my mind on other things. Since you cant change the past put it all behing you and maybe start over with a new pet. Now I know its not that easy, but its the best you can do. Hope you feel better!
