every morning, i'm woken up by my cat because he wants to be fed/go outside. this morning, i wasn't however. it wasn't really a big deal and then my mum mentioned it when she got up. we called him, got food out for him and opened the back door. we thought maybe we left him outside over night (although i knew he had been on the couch when i went to bed the night before)

anyway, i said to my mum as a joke 'maybe he's died' and my mum was like don't say that and went downstairs to check on him.

she saw him on the couch, shouted his name, clapped and made sounds to wake him up.

I then hear her say "Caitlin...." and my stomach dropped. I could tell by her voice that it wasn't good. Anyway i run downstairs, look at the cat curled up in exactly the same place as he was last night.

i had to turn away. i couldn't look at him.

My mum goes up to him, touches him and just like that, he wakes up and meows.

I'm not even kidding though, i think this was the worst feeling i've ever had in my life. i truly had thought he had died...

so yeah i've made this thread because i needed to rant it out (as i usually do)

what's the worst feeling you've ever had? any close calls like this? (plz dont say things like "when my aunt died" cause that's kinda obvious.
