 One of my cats recently passed away a few weeks ago because of cancer. The tumour was malignant and inoperable due to its size and location, so there was nothing we could do but ease his pain until we ultimately decided it was more humane to put him to sleep. 

This alone has made me feel horrendous. I have several serious mental illnesses and my cats have always been a major source of comfort and solace. I love them dearly.

That being said, I’m worried about my other cat. Ever since Link(Male Cat) passed, Zelda(Female Cat) has been extremely lethargic and barely eats. She doesn’t really do anything but sleep. She used to be very mischievous and get into all kinds of trouble, and honestly, I miss it. 

She missed the litter box last night which is very unusual for her. I’m going to take her to the vet but I don’t know what to do if she passes too, especially so quickly. All I can really do is cry and it sucks. 

I know it’s debated scientifically as to whether or not pets can die of a broken heart, but I’m worried that’s what’s happening. I digress. 

They’re senior cats but it doesn’t hurt any less. I feel so lost right now and everything hurts.
