Description
Its been a bit over two months since my cat passed away and I still can't get used to her not being here anymore... I always expect her to greet me at the door when I come home or sleep next to me while I study or draw or even sleep on my pillow at night
She passed away right in the time between the written and vocal exams so I didn't allow me to grieve because I had to study. Not a day goes by where I don't feel guilty about studying instead of being by her side
She helped me through everything, even when my other cat (the white one) passed away she was right there by my side though the pain. She was always there when I needed her most and I wasn't there when she needed me...
But I'm not here to collegt sympathy or anything! I'm not the only one who lost their pets and not the only one suffering the pain that follows
I wanted to keep it quiet. It took me a month to tell my best friend and I didnt even post it here
And everytime I've tried to talk about it some of my friends ignored it and only talked about themselves. I don't know why I was surprised since thats all they do anyway
I'm telling you now because I want to give an explanation for my inactivity. Ever since she passed I have had no motivation at all... I never know what to draw or have the interest to finish it. I've had this sketched out since before I left for my grandmothers but never finished it until now
I'll most likely be inactive for a while longer and if I upload something it'll most likely be my human ocs because I can't get through drawing cats without either getting very anry or very sad.
I doubt anyone is actually reading this, but if you are, do you(or do you know anyone) who would draw my cats with actual pictures as references?
If you do, please comment because I would really love to get some drawings of them
There are a few more pics of the orange one under the name zauberfee456 on instagram^^

She was gorgeous! I recently lost my cat, Fox, too. Last November I had to make that awful decision no one ever wants to have to make. I miss him so much, even still! He was my baby & my anchor.

I know how this feels, I've lost cats old and young, and I was always so sad. I usually just tried to do certain hobbies or focus on school so I have something else to do besides feel sad. Try doing something you like, such as doodling, watching Tv, etc. Or try to learn something such as baking, making jewelry, etc. again. And your cat was a Maine Coon? I have one. I would be devastiated if I lost the big hairball I named "Fluffy". I've had him ever since I was 7/8 and he got me through some hard times. But just remember your cats are always there, even as spirits by your side. I'm really sorry and understanding for your loss and I hope things get better soon

I've tried to focus on school and it worked but since I graduated it's a little harder since there's more time and no motivation O.o I'm trying to focus on a comic now^^
Yep, both were! I love the breed so much and definitely want another once I have my own place c:
Awww he sounds adorable<33

Dude I'm really sorry about all this, that's really a huge change and must've been and still be be a hard time
I can't even imagine what it'd be like if one of my cats just wasn't there anymore ;-; I know many people experience this but that doesn't make it hurt less,, it's not less important than any other problems people might have out there and you deserve to be able to talk about it. If no one is willing to listen to you in your real life then do it here on deviantart or the internet! ;w; There's always people who will gladly listen to you :3 Just don't let it tear you apart in silence, please
If you'd like you can also shoot me a note whenever you feel like it! ^^
And I'd love to draw your cat for you! I'd try my best to get her right! <3

It's really hard and horrible to imagine and getting used to it is so hard. I keep looking down to ensure that I don't step on her or to see if she wants food or something... and god it's quiet now O.o
As for the people who talk more about themselves, they do it all the time so I've gotten used to it and I'm trying to distance myself from them c:
Thank you so much<33 That's so sweet^^ I've added some pics to the description as reference c: How much would that be?^^

I had three cat, all three my parents chose to put down. The first two when I was in third grade, and my third cat was put down during the summer after I graduated from elementary school and before my middle school years. Unlike the other two who tried to escape, my cat Al knew it was his time and slept with each my family members until he decided it was his time to go. My parents talked it over and we took him to the vet, we sang a song we had made up for Al, we did one for each of our cats, and he went away a happy cat. It took me a few months to get used to not having a cat anymore as I was in charge of the feeding and litter.

It's hard to see it that way in the heat of the moment but sometimes putting them down is the best thing to do... We put down the older cat and were planning on putting down the other one as well. She passed away the day before we wanted to take her to the vet.
The songs sound really sweet and I'm sure that he was happy about having lived with such a great family^^

Oh, I'm really sorry for your loss :/ I know how it feels to lose a pet. I had a cat named Charlie, he was my best friend... One day he went missing and he never returned. I will never forget him.
I can draw your kitties if you'd like <3

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my cat about a year ago, and although I love my new cats dearly, I still miss her. I understand your pain.
And I would love to draw your cats, if you would let me.

It's horrible to lose someone so close to you... my mom is against getting another cat because she says that it'll just be a replacement:/ but I'm moving out soon anyway and I'm definitely going to get another cat so won't be long now^^
I'd be honored!<33 I've put some pics into the description as reference c: How much would you want for a drawing of them?^^

EmeraldAlyssums In reply to FoxTheRedCat [2018-07-29 21:24:32 +0000 UTC]
Oh good. At least you can get another cat soon. It definitely helps to have a cat in the house, even if it isn't the one you lost.
Oh, I don't need payment. Consider it a gift from a fellow cat lover.
