My dear ginger cat, who has been my dear friend for 14 years, died recently after being diagnosed with kidney disease. Ms. Van de Poll's previous book, "My Cat is Dying" was such a tremendous help and comfort when I was navigating how best to care for and provide for my cat and also myself during our last days together.
"My Cat Has Died" did not skip a beat between the two stages in addressing the necessary questions and decisions that come with the significant loss of a dear pet. The compassion, clarity, and thoroughness that is outlined in "My Cat Has Died" has been such a wonderful resource for dealing with all the decisions I have had to face alone. Ms. Van de Poll's insight, understanding, and caring are present on every page. The Contemplation Questions at the end of each chapter were so helpful in making me write out and express my thoughts, concerns and fears so that I became more fully connected with my feelings.
I would definitely recommend this book or give it as a gift to a friend in the throws of loosing their beloved pet. It is such a unique topic but certainly a universal one.

I love this book and I don't even have a cat
Death of a pet is traumatic. Wendy handles the subject with clear-eyed sensitivity. The advice is a his book is universal. I have a beloved wiener dog who lived 18+ years. Her death symbolized the death of my sons childhood. I could have used this book then. This is one of the best books on death and dying, presenting an updated modern version of the steps you go through. It's a well written, well organized helpful book, that everyone should have at the ready when the need arises. Read it.
