My cat passed away over a year ago & I still feel like it's my fault.

I completely understand why you're worried. Losing a pet can be an incredibly emotional experience, and it's normal to question whether there was something more you could have done. It's important to remember that as pet owners, we always try to do our best with the knowledge and resources we have at the time.



Cats sometimes hide their illnesses very well, and even the most attentive pet parent might miss subtle signs. Common causes of sudden illness in cats can include heart disease, kidney failure, or undetected infections. Even if you had seen these signs earlier, it might not have changed the outcome.



A helpful way to cope with these feelings is to focus on the love and care you provided throughout your cat's life. It can also be beneficial to create a memory book or a special place in your home with pictures and memories.



If you find yourself constantly thinking about it, or if this sadness feels overwhelming, talking to someone about your feelings can be very healing. Please remember, you're not alone in this.
