'The addition of Milo and Finn into our lives gives us the opportunity to create new memories.'
knows just how heartbreaking and difficult it can be to deal with. Even though they can't communicate with us verbally, our pets often bring us an overwhelming amount of love, emotional support, and joy, so losing them can bring up a lot of painful and complex emotions. After the two cats that my brothers and I grew up with passed away, my family was devastated, and our house was suddenly filled with an emptiness that none of us could shake.
I was a senior in high school when my family got the news that Paul was experiencing kidney failure. At first, the disease was a slow burn. Toward the end of his life, though, he lost a lot of weight, was barely eating food or drinking water, and could hardly walk. It was so difficult for my family to see him in so much pain, especially because he had been such a lively cat for his entire life. Paul passed away in January 2018 while lying on my bed, which is where he had spent most of his life.
Our house didn't quite feel like home after Paul and George died. The lack of cat hair and the missing sound of paws delicately walking up and down the stairs were glaring, painful reminders of the fact that Paul and George were gone. But the addition of our two new cats, cats who look and act differently from our previous ones at that, turned out to be a vital step in truly recovering.
While, of course, my family will always look back fondly on the moments that we shared with Paul and George, the addition of Milo and Finn into our lives gives us the opportunity to create new memories with each other and our new cats. Milo and Finn have not only, but they have also helped my family members and I reconnect with each other. Pets have always been able to bond us, so having kittens come into our lives at a time of personal and collective sadness helped us find shared comfort.
