I subscribe to some pet subs to see cute pictures of cats and dogs to improve my mood and then every tenth post or so is “my poor dead cat”. I hate it, I never knew your catdog and now im slightly sad that its dead. Now I have to unsubscribe from all these cute pet subs cause y’all can’t not talk about how dead your pets are. Maybe join a support group or something.

    Yup. I thought OP was spot on and have always felt the same. I view those subs to see animals being cute and be happy about it. I’m sorry for their loss, but that is not cute or happy.

      it feels like there’s just peer pressure to act like you’re fine with it, if you say you don’t like it you’re a horrible selfish person

      but like bro if you come to someone’s birthday party and start talking about how your grandpa carked it last week you’re going to be asked to leave

        This reminds me of the most unpleasant Thanksgiving I personally experienced. There were several factors that ruined the day but, I completely checked out mentally during dinner as one of the guests was talking about inheriting a cat from someone who died and how the cat was now dying. The thing I was most thankful for that year was going home.
