26-year-old cancels $40,000 wedding after fiancé drops cat off outside for scratching his car, she goes back to the spot everyday for a month to find him: “He was basically my child”

Loss is a natural part of loving. From the loss of our first pet, to a first breakup. Losing a pet is like going from a warm bath to the frigid cold. The sadness hits differently than with people. Our relationships with others tend to be riddled with complications, nuances, and multiple dimensions. With animals, there's a softness, an innocence. The tender the simple love we feel for our pets is a raw one, one that leaves us in a different state of grief than with people. I remember when I was 5-years-old I had a pet cat named Spooky, she was all black, and I loved her dearly. I lived at the bottom of huge hills, coyotes roamed around at night, and it was a little bit like the wild west. I always feared Spooky would get outside and get lost, but thankfully she never did.

In the story below, the protagonist shares the loss and love of her cat, and the power of boundaries.

What a horrible man. She's right to leave him over this. He didn't talk to her, he didn't tell her how he felt, he just did the most dramatic and drastic thing he could think of. Who just gets rid of a poor pet like that? No empathy.
