Not to delve into details but unfortunately I’m gonna be rehoming my diabetic cat. My other cat doesn’t get along with him among other issues. I’ve had them both for 4 years now. Does the sadness go away?

    The only thing that helps is time unfortunately. I had to put down the sweetest little guy a couple years ago to renal issues, and I still catch myself thinking of him from time to time. The pain never goes away fully, it just becomes less sharp over time. Instead of being heart breaking it’s just a little sad to think about now.

    The best thing is to grieve, and then when you’re ready get a new kitten. The joy of having a new kitten to love will help a lot, at the very least you’ll have your hands full for a while! Took me about a year or so to be ready, but everyone is different.
