how about a club to deal with the loss of a pet. Its been years since a pet ahas died in my arms and one baby had to be put to sleep and I was sent out of the room because i was 8 months pregnant. My boyfirend stayed but I was hysterical and they refused to let me stay.

anyway, the death of cats on here hits us all hard, owners and others. Is this a good idea? what does everyone think? It might help to deal with grief.

There is a "No Trace" Or something. Meaning you lost your pet, and dont know where they are. Its a club.
There also is "Rainbow Bridge" Or something. Meaning You lost one of your pets and they when over the rainbow bridge.

You can make a club, Where they had to be put to sleep. That one hasnt been made. And I would join! Me and Stormy! Thats a nice club Idea! If you dont use it, can I try it out?? Hehe. Been waiting to think of a club idea, to start one. COuldnt think of one until now.

And I understand. Its hard. The death of cats on here, Hit everyone. Like It killed us. Or one of our own.

I dont think that, the UnitedCats Admin would except another Club that has already been made, but you can try it!!

oh please, use it. I forgot about the rainbow club. I was thinking more of the grief of losing your pet and getting through having to put them to sleep, etc.

please use this idea if you want. I think we need a place to break down and discuss difficult discions.

ps, I dont mind if someone starts this, that is why I posted.

Also, I counseled people who lost their children (death) after I lost my son so I could heal. I think we need a place like that.
Losing peaths to death is as tramatic as a child, because they become our children.

Yes Teri, I think it´s a different sort of grief when you actually have to have a cat put to sleep than say, if a cat just disappears or gets run over etc. They are all very devastating ways of losing cats of course but to have to make a decision to take one to the vets to be euthanased can be difficult.
I would join such a club to share my experience, as it happened to me last year with Smokey.

yeah, they made me leave the room, because of my baby but It was so difficult, It would have been easier if I could of talked to people about it and it will happen to all of us at some point.

If I get enough points, I will or if any one else beats me to it, I will join.

Just to say again, not a club for rainbow cats or cats that have disapeared, a club to help us through difficult choices and sealing with death.

That actually sounds like a great club. But in reality we wouldn´t want it used much at all.

The Rainbow Cats club is free to join for all cats and users. The description doesn´t specify that the rainbow cats must have a profile on the site.

Sharing our grief about the beloved cats we have lost is a great idea. Perhaps anyone interested could ask her for permission to start a grief thread there .
