Pet grief?

[< N I C K >]

A stray cat turned up at my flat one day & she adopted us. I had never considering having a pet because as a student you never know where you might be from one year to the next.
Over the last eight months during my thesis write up I grew fond of the feline we named C@D (pronounced Cattie). But I never expected to feel so sad now that she’s gone. Worse of all I fear she met her end by my Rover.
Pet grief is a hard thing to understand given they're just furry creatures that don't comprehend.
