Good morning! I’m very sad because last night my cat pushpin ripped off my hamster’s head and I sat at my desk at work trying not to cry my makeup off. I’m so torn because I had that hamster Chauncey for over a year and I have all these hamster supplies and no hamster. I’m so torn. I’m going to look for another hamster today but I’m so heart broken. I get emotionally attached to animals. My goal is to give them a better life and I feel so upset that Chauncey passed away. She poked her head out of her enclosure which was only wide enough to let her stick her head out and my cat yanked her out by the head and be-headed her. It took only five seconds as I was rushing to get ready for work. I still remember the last kiss I gave Chauncey on her little hamster back. I’ll never hear her run on her wheel again. I have to burry her now. I’m very heart broken but I need to work on forgiving my cat for doing this. Which will be difficult. To me, all life is precious. I really cried and I thought to myself “what would make Chauncey happy?” If I gave up? I don’t want her to think in heaven that her passing is why I don’t give hamsters happy lives anymore outside of the pet store. Accidents happen and I need to accept that. Hamsters don’t deserve tiny enclosures. They deserve large enclosures and I’ve always worked on building and improving the one I have and sadly a small flaw in design meant that Chauncey passed away. I’m going to fix this flaw and try to mend my broken heart. All these hamster toys I still have... I would want a hamster to still enjoy them. I am sorry for the rant. It’s just something happening in my life right now that affected me so much.
