Today I buried my cat. She was old, and I knew her time was near — but I still wasn't ready. My parents called me saying she was dying, that I should come. I didn’t rush. She’s had lows before and always recovered. I spent time getting ready, lost my keys, then drove back. Even then, instead of going straight in, I lingered. Took a detour to the woods — a place of solitude for me — and spent a few moments there trying to center myself, trying to ask for help in my own way.


By the time I got home, it was too late. She had died while I was gone. I wasn’t there to see her off. She was lying on the floor, mouth slightly open, body still warm. It crushed me.


But there’s something else.


The night before, I had gone to the gym. There’s a cemetery nearby I’d never been to, but during a break I wandered up the hill and found myself at its edge. I was smoking, saw the boundary of the graves, and stepped back out of respect. But something compelled me to walk the perimeter. I wasn’t looking for anything — just pacing, thinking.


Near the end of the loop, I saw a statue. Pale, human-sized, vaguely shaped like a person but wrong — distorted, twisted in a way that was hard to describe. Something about it felt off. Not just eerie. Foul, demonic. Like it wasn’t made to be looked at. I took a photo of it and deleted it not long after — it felt wrong to keep. Showed it to my mother after my cat died. It disturbed her too.


Now looking back, it feels like a warning. I don’t believe in coincidences like this. Not anymore.


I’ve been off track lately — let myself slip, fell into bad habits.
Maybe that’s why I wasn’t ready. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t there when she needed me most.


I loved her with all my heart. She was a true friend, she was there for me throughout my teenage years, on my lowest days when I wanted to kill myself, she would come sit in my lap and suddenly everything felt like it was not so bad, that it will all be alright eventually. It will never be the same without her...

Damn that sucks. I'm really curious about that statue though. Could you recover the photo and post it here?

Cherish her bro, nothing can make you ready for the day when she is taken from you

I can, it's still in my recently deleted folder... But do you really want to see it?

Knowing your pet will die at some point is horrible

as long as you can find justification.
 
I lost my youngest cat when I was 15. I was alone at home and I noticed she looked extremely sick, she had kidney problems so it wasn't uncommon for her to be, but this time was especially bad. Nevertheless I didn't do anything, just gave her some water and waited for my mom to get home to tell her. By the time my mom got home at 8pm and we took her to the vet, she was already dead.

It's good that you have more than one because then they are never alone. My cat would spend so much time alone in the apartment bc my parents are gone from morning til late evening and I didn't have time to visit often. Now that she is gone the apartment feels empty as fuck

Yeah it does seem a lil weird but not anything too uncanny. Just looks like abstract sculpting
Yeah probably but irl it creeped me out, I'm usually never bothered by such things and I even find things like this kinda cool but seeing the statue at that time felt almost overwhelming, I felt uneasy as I walked out of the cemetery
