I had to euthanize my daughter's hamster last night after the cat got ahold of it. Woke up around 4am to the cat pawing at my bedroom door. Fucker was so proud of his catch. Guess the hamster figured out how to undo the latch and made her way through the house. I waited a couple hours to see if she'd bounce back, but she didn't and was just suffering. I didn't realize I'd gotten attached to the thing. Daughter is at a sleepover and I'll have to tell her when she gets home. FML.

Hamsters don't live long anyways

You got to tell her the truth. It's honestly better that she begins to understand loss in the small ways before she experiences anything big, such as a death in the family.

>>339235 For sure. I wasn't planning on hiding it from her. It's just not something I look forward to dealing with. She's already had a couple deaths in the family, but they weren't people she was particularly close to (aunt and grandfather), and she was under 8 at the time so it didn't really phase her.

Throw it at her. And tell her how much of a piece of shit person she is for killing the hamster.

:( That really sucks man, and I know exactly how you feel.
Good luck with letting her know, that's probably the hardest part...
Fuck you guys, man just lost a pet and all you have are jokes?

>>339703 The cat mauled her, but I'm the one who killed her. I put her in a ziplock bag and filled it with keyboard cleaner. It was very fast and she didn't struggle. Just about 5 seconds. Her eyes got a bit wide and then her breathing just stopped. I figured it was probably the most peaceful way to do it.
