Lost my best friend, world keeps spinning

My cat Luna passed away yesterday at just 3 years old from complications with FIV. I'm sitting here crying over my coffee while everyone around me acts like it's just another Tuesday. People don't get it. They'll give you a week off work when a distant relative dies, but when you lose the creature who greeted you every single day for three years? "It's just a pet." Luna wasn't just a pet. She was my 6 AM alarm clock, my therapy session after bad days, my entertainment when Netflix failed me. She had this weird habit of stealing hair ties and hiding them under the couch like some kind of elastic dragon. I know I'm not the only one who's felt this invisible grief. Pet loss is real loss, even if society pretends otherwise. Three years wasn't nearly enough, but I'm grateful for every stolen hair tie and every purr. RIP to all the good pets who deserved longer. #petloss #catmom #grief #Pets #Cats
