I went out to feed the neighbor's cats this afternoon. One of his cats, Jack, came over and was clearly trying to talk to me. He was meowing in a very talkative way, and was turning his head left and right, as if he was searching for something.
I realized that he was asking me where's Minime, since they were friends. How could I explain to him that our beloved Minime was gone forever?
It broke my heart again. Cats are so smart and loving. And they grief too.
@eugenialoli Both sad and beautiful. Looks like Jack & Minime were good friends!
I had a slightly similar story: Mirabelle, one of my father cats, would never let me approach her. My father had recently passed away and I was in the garden with the sun in my back. She was a bit far away. She started running straight at me until she froze 3 meters away. She looked at me and ran back.
She must have thought I was her old human. Like you, we both had our hearts broken one more time.
