My cat just died, help with motivation to workout tonight?

[Anonymous]

My cat died today completely unexpected (she was a few months old and I thought pretty healthy). My family has been giving me crap all day because I wanted her buried in the yard like the rest of the cats and they didn't want her there. They wanted to take her to some random place I don't even know 30mins away from our house.

I have 100 days to be able to run two miles. I can run on the treadmill but when I get outside its more difficult so I decided to do the Couch to 5k outside. The thing is that I don't want to leave my bed right now and I planned on starting it today. Any motivation to do it? Or does anyone think I should take the day off and help me not feel guilty/stress about it?

Take the day off and thik about the cat, who never got to live a life. What happened? Never heard of a young cat dying unless run over by a car or something.

But tonight, go out of ra jog in memory of the cat, it will take yur mind off her and it's a way to move forward!

Won't the vet cremate the cat, and then you can put the ashes wherever you want? Your family would't know...

She wasn't taken to the vets since she died pretty suddenly and quick. Honestly I have no idea what happened. She started crying funny and then her legs went out and she was shaking and died all in 5 minutes. I buried her in the yard anyways. But thank you.

Sounds like a heart..some cats, like people, ahve congenital heart problems...Glad she didn't suffer for long.

I'm glad she's in the yard, close to you..we put our cat's ashes in a park nearby because then even after we move away we can still visit the spot.

Yea I'm thinking it was her heart too. But aww that's a good idea.

Your cat symbolizes the past. You move forward and let all distractions fall by the wayside.

Don't push it. I'd take the day off.
