My cat died recently. It feels weird but I feel a lot of grief and regret over this.
She was on the older side and sickly so it was only a matter of time, but, I still can't help but feel immense remorse over this. Even if she's "just a cat" she was still my pet and I still loved her a lot. I know some people may consider me cold hearted for what I'm about to say, but, I feel that I honestly loved her more than I love some of my family, since I have a rocky relationship with a lot of my family members, so the fact that she's gone really hurts me in a way. She may not be a person in the traditional meaning of the word but she was one of the few people I could trust to never hurt me in any way. She was a pure soul that just wanted to live her life to the fullest and now she's gone for good.
At least I got to spend a good amount of years with her until then. It's sad since she had a lot of emotional turmoil throughout her life, even back when we first got her she was very shy around us because her previous owners abused her. I don't really believe in a heaven or anything like that, but, I do hope she finds some type of peace in whatever afterlife there could be. Lord knows she needs it.

Damn, sorry for your loss dude. I've known a few people who have lost pets lately and they are all devastated too naturally. It really is like losing a best friend or family member, pets will often love you and be far more loyal to you than family members in your entire lifetime too.
I'm still occasionally struggling with the loss of my pets as a child even though its decades later now and I'm scared to get new pets as I don't wanna outlive them and see them die too. But I desperately need some compansionship from and purpose with raising them too though. Animals bring joy, love, peace, kindness and will ride or die for you even. I've noticed it amongst most species of animals, even the major killer predator types.
Animals have psychic levels of awareness about impending doom/disaster/diseases and such, dogs allegedy can sense cancer before someone developers it or in its earliest stages for example.
Both my aunt and my therapist have both lost cats they've rescued and raised, it never gets easier to deal with losing them unfortunately. One of my former best friends had 2 lovely kitties and his persona changed a lot when they died, it was like how he forgot how to smile and be happy, after he already found happiness in in his life finally, so it was a cruel twist of fate to take that away from him and thus his cats too. He really loved those cats.
What a shitty way to start the year though, but I've seen a lot of deaths seem to happen with a new year for some reason.
At least for what it's worth, given what you've been saying, she got to live a much better life with you regardless and you did the best you could for her. I'm sure she's at peace now and you will see her again in some kind of afterlife or Heaven specifically.
That's one of the only things keeping me going anymore, is believing that I will see the people and animals I've lost and loved again. I can't let myself believe otherwise, I just can't. I have to believe for my own sake.
