A woman has to say goodbye to her beloved cat.
A moment that is particularly difficult for many pet owners.
What signs there are and how you should behave.
If a four-legged friend is seriously ill, there comes a time when you have to let him go.
A drastic experience that you would prefer to avoid.
It is particularly bad when the person has to decide when to say goodbye.
Some cats show certain signs before they die.
Others withdraw and seem almost apathetic.
Many then refuse their food or stop drinking completely.
No matter how sad it is and the fear of loss seems huge, the beloved pet should not suffer unnecessarily.
Dogs also go through very specific dying phases.
What features there are:
Cat won't eat or drink for a long time
She withdraws, just hides away, is very quiet or seems apathetic
She reacts particularly aggressively to touch

In a video on TikTok under @potroastmom
, a young woman from Kansas City shows how much she suffers from the decision to have to put her cat Brock to sleep
.
The multiple cat owner has already lost a velvet paw named Pot Roast and is now struggling with herself and the world.
Here's what she posted: "I trust the universe and its timing, but I can't understand why it took Rocko away from me six days after the anniversary of Pot Roast's death."
You can often tell when the time is right by looking at the behavior of the animals.

Even if it is not easy to accompany your animal as it dies, it is most important not to leave it alone.
Because only the caregiver can convey peace and security.
If the cat dies, a small world will probably collapse.
It can be very helpful to talk to friends or relatives about the painful loss and exchange ideas.
It must also be clarified whether the cat will be buried in your own garden or cremated in an animal crematorium.
Saying goodbye appropriately is an important process in dealing with grief.
Some pet owners also choose to keep the memory alive.
TikTok users are touched and report on their own experiences
It is not clear from the video what age Rocko reached or whether he suffered from an illness.
What is certain, however, is that the users completely
understand the pain of TikTok user
