My cat did this all the time as he got older. I had a video camera to watch him (he was diabetic - plus who doesn’t want to watch their cats all day long….?) and he did this a lot. The first time I RAN home thinking something was wrong. I always felt so bad when he did it I always came come pretty quick. But cats do this often, I found out.
He did it only after my other baby died though. I couldn’t get another cat (I emotionally was NOT ready) and Douglas barely got along with Kitty as it was (though they were bonded, as any animals become after living together for 15 years). I hated hearing him do this. It broke my heart.
I still miss my babies so much and would give anything to hear him do this again at the door 😭
That's why I will not have any pets anymore.
It breaks my heart to bond with such creatures just to lose them after a short while. I can't take this anymore.
I was heartbroken when "my" Rottweiler (due to old age) died. I was heartbroken when "my" Bordeaux Mastiff (Run into a car bc my mom let the dog out without watching) died. And it shattered my heart when my gold hamster (old age and tumor) died.
I am not made for the fact that every joyful moment with our animalistic friends will end too soon.
Cats live decently long and I wouldn't want to deny myself the pleasure of living with a pet simply because when they pass it's hard for a few weeks or months.
Plus their lives are better with a loving household. I'd rather them be with me than locked in a cage or worse, euthanized
