Do you have pets/ would you leave them behind?

[Bodydysmorphia]

I wish I had a cat or dog since animals make me feel happy but I can't have either of them. Do you have pets and if yes would you leave them at home when you decide to ctb or give them away/ prepare meals for them?

I love animals but one of the reasons I've never had one is, let's just say, fear of commitment.

i do. two dogs - one senior rescue, one puppy - and two cats. i love them dearly. they are one of the main reasons i haven't followed through yet. i still live with family as i'm 18 going on 19, so i know they'll be in good hands when i go. but that doesn't mean i won't miss them.

No! Never! My old dog depends on me. When he is gone I am free

i have a cat , but my family will take care of it .

I have a hard headed clingy cat but I think he'll be okay. I read somewhere that cats usually grieve for 6 months then move on. So I'm hoping my cat will forget about me quicker than that and just resume with being a happy cat. I have another cat( who I don't think likes me very much), so I'm hoping that cat will "help out" my other cat while grieving.

I have 1 kitty left of the many I have had through the years. Had to say goodbye to 2 over the last few years that were around 16 which has been tough. While I have faith that my family would take her in, I'm trying to stick around at least till she moves on. I feel I owe her that much. She is about 15 now, and fortunately still doing pretty well.

Yes I do and I would rehome my pets before ctb.

yeah i would, my cat absolutely loves me, and ik i'm a scumbag, but it' hurts me more to let that little cute fluffy bun alone with my parents, as she won't understand why i'm gone, what happened, and why i'm not coming back, man, just thinking about it, i would almost cry just thinking of the pain in her little heart, every day when i pet her and she purrs, i always whisper something like "damn, when i'm gone i'm really gonna miss you", but well, at least i won't experience her death.

at least, my parents will know and understand what happened to me, she won't, she will just be hurt of why i abandonned her... But i'm suffering too much, way too much to not CTB so yeah, F.

Interesting question. I always wanted to have a Labrador. I think if I had a Labrador, I would not be able to leave him.

I have a dog. He is in my will to be re-homed with a specific person and I have a stipend allotted.

My dog just got diagnosed with cancer and statistics say she is not likely to live more than a year. I would not ctb until she is passed away.

My heart aches thinking about leaving my cat but I can't give him what he deserves. I'm showing him as much love as I can until he goes to my friends house for a couple days while I will CTB next week. I just hope he is well taken care of afterwards
