We had to put down our 14yo cat last night he had some neurological shut down but he was my partners for like 9 years and she’s devastated, I’m torn too but it’s not the same I’ve only know him for a year. I haven’t lost a pet in a long time does anybody have any advice? We had 4 cats now we have 3. I’m just trying to keep busy but my partner isn’t handling it well which is understandable I just want to know what I can do to help? I know it’s the grieving process I just don’t know how to help. I’m trying to keep her distracted but it’s hard when we’re at work.

    Distractions are good but your partner needs to grief. Be there and support her. If she needs a hug, just hold her till she calms down, if she is ok with it of course. Talk about the lost cat, about the good times, about the funny times and about the bad times. The cat still lives on in both of you 🥲
