What to say when someone’s cat dies

Cat grief often lives in quiet routines: the window, the chair, the hour they appeared, the sound of a jump onto the bed.

Fictional cat memorial example

Specific beats eloquent.

“I’m so sorry about Luna. I always loved how she appeared beside you on the couch every evening. She was such a familiar part of your home. I’m thinking about you.”

You don't need to explain grief. You only need to show that the relationship was seen.
