My cat was euthanized on Saturday and I am a mess. I can't sleep and all I do is cry. I miss him so much. I have 4 other cats to take care of and one of them is the brother of the one who passed and I worry about him too. I don't know what to do, how long will this last? Just devastated. I want my boy.

So sorry for the loss of your special friend....others with more wisdom will have something to say that might help.
Sadly, most of us know that awful feeling and, sadly, we know that the only thing that helps heal our hearts is time.
I've lost too many cats over the years and have felt those losses deeply. Made myself physically sick for a time.
You never forget...they never leave your heart, but the days pass and you try to hold on to the happy memories.
The fact that you have other kitties to care for will help. They are depending on you.
I've never found a fast way through it...or a cure. You just learn to live with it.

it's ok to cry and cry. You have to mourn your baby. Pets become like children to us. You just have to grieve just like you would if a close family member died. It's very hard. Just remember, it's ok to feel very sad. Time won't make your sadness go away but it will become more bearable.
Everyone is different in how long the grief lasts. One day you will know that you are going to be ok, but not today. Give yourself permission to mourn the loss.

Thank you for your words. I love my other cats and need to be there for them. I hope I feel better with time. Thank you again.

@darkhomespun I know how you feel. Mine passed away in my arms a few months ago. I can't get over it. I miss her so much. I still have my other one which does help.

My heart goes out to you.
We all mourn and grieve differently. As your heart is breaking, it is all right to cry. Eventually the hurt will lessen a bit, but it does take time. Try and comfort yourself with your fur children who need you. While you can never replace a human or fur baby with another, may the rememberance remain bright and happy in your heart.
God bless.

Thank you. I have no children so my animals are my children. Thank you for saying it is ok to cry and cry. Your words help me. Thank you again
