Oliver was a member of our family for 17 years. From elementary school to college, my kids chased him around the house. He didn't mind when they dressed him in ridiculous outfits, pretended he was a flying Japanese river spirit, or cast him as a villain in their silly spy videos.
As long as Oliver was home, you were never alone. He poked his wet nose into our memories in good times and bad. When my youngest daughter was in the hospital for weeks, Oliver refused to leave her room at night, sleeping uncharacteristically at the foot of her bed.
What makes a cat or dog's death so devastating? A relationship with a family cat or dog is uniquely intimate, an irreplaceable bond. Human relationships can be complex and transient, but the love and companionship of a pet endure.
A cat or dog is more than just a companion; they are love and affection on tap, always there to welcome you home, as soothing as your favorite chair or cozy comforter.
