My girlfriend's kitten is very very sick

[Imran Siddiqui]

Richelieu: That was insensitive

[Hueij]

Sucks... I think I know how she feels, I watched my cat die just a month ago after she succeeded to irritate me every single day for fourteen years. She made me laugh every day too. Still miss her...

We'll remind you of this when someone/something you love dies. Your compassion is beautiful.

Already has happened.
And i do have compassion. But some of the posts here for a guy whose G/F 's cat died... it's ridiculous.
I did not love that cat.
I don't think any of the posters here loved that cat.

[Imran Siddiqui]

They are showing their compassion. Would you say the same thing if someone posted that their father died?

[Richelieu]

It would be their father.

Not a cat that their g/f has had for a week.

[Imran Siddiqui]

But you wouldn't have loved that father. No poster here would have loved that father.

[ColdWizard]

you and your g/f have my sympathies Imran

[Imran Siddiqui]

Thanks CW

[David Floyd]

Blah...I'm sorry

You should fly down and surprise her, gives you an excuse to go, eh?

I happen to think that the emotional attachment for your father is (should be) at least a little bit more than that which you would have for your girlfriend's cat.
Which she's had for a week.

And i would act accordingly : i would show sympathy even though i don't love their father, because in my view, their attachment to their father and the loss that they feel is worth showing that support.

I have to graduate, Floyd. Finals start in less than a week .

[David Floyd]

True. Finals suck.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well, she is coming up for Memorial Day, so that is the next time I'll see her.

Well, he didn't make it through the night. My girlfriend called around 10ish today to tell me. She's pretty broken up about it (and she got the news right before her last law school exam of 1st year, ouch!), and I feel horrible as well.

Poor Klausy... hopefully he's in kitty heaven by now.

Sorry to hear that man, seriously.

[David Floyd]

Oh nice!
