I have lost a total of five pets troughout my lifetime, and all of them were equaly painfull. Though they were all cats, they were my pets and my friends. Losing a cat, dog or any other pet you are close to hurts extremely.
About 12 years ago, we had a litter of cats. We kept two of them and the mother still lives a few houses away from here. One of the two cats died recently because of old age. The other one is still alive and kicking but lonely and always asking for attention now that he doesn't have his brother to mess around with anymore.
I also have a dog, pushing 13 I think. He's been my buddy for ages, best dog I could wish for. But he's old, and the thought that he might die soon or at least at some point scares me a bit. Simply because it would be weird not to have him around anymore.
I for one trully believe you can bond with your pet as much as you can with family. So it hurts equaly when you lose a pet.
