She’s dead

I’m so so so so so sorry. I know what it’s like to lose an animal that you love as much as a human.

It’s not fair that this was the last moment I had with her. It’s not fair. I loved her so much. She wasn’t supposed to die. This is all my fault. I didn’t change her tick collar in time and now she’s dead from my stupid mistake.

It’s not fair. Life is horrible at times, but it can also be beautiful. We know you did I did too. It’s not your fault, she loved you back, so she wouldn’t blame you

All I can say for you all, is don’t treat this as just a rare disease. I would never expect something like this to happen to my sweet little cat but it did. If you are aware that Bobcat fever has been reported in your area, or have Bobcats around, take all the precautions you can to protect your outdoor cats and barncats. Its transmitted by ticks so I use a seresto tick collar and it works great. Replace it every eight months or it doesn’t work. I found that out the worst way possible.
I just don’t want this to happen to anyone else. Seeing her in the state she was last night was absolutely heartbreaking. She was in tremendous pain. Don’t let this happen to your cat.

Thank you. I will do that and do some research on the topic.

It wasn't your fault!

Whoa whoa whoa- hang on. This was NOT your fault. Blaming yourself will only make it worse. You gave her the best possible life with all of the possible love. You couldn't have done better.

Don't.

I have lost so many animals in the past year, and every time I blame myself. It doesn't help. And it's not true. The thought that just circles around is " I should have just done this." Or "What if I'd done this?" No one could have controlled this.

When our animals die we look for something or someone to blame, and that someone is often ourselves. But don't blame yourself. No one could have controlled it.

Your mind may seem like a broken record replaying your last moments with her, over and over and over again. But things will get better. Given time. I promise. And Kate, we're all here. Each and every one of us.
