That picture is heartbreaking. I can't even imagine the thought of losing one of my doggies. RIP. Gizmo.

Meanwhile Tyson Kidd sits watching the TV oblivious to this sad news. Im almost picturing him as Dwight from the Office. Actually with Nattie loving Cats Im going to think of them as Dwight and Angela. "It is only a cat. He does not provide sports or entertainment."

Without hyperbole, this is one of the saddest pictures I've seen in my life. Jesus Christ. I need to go home and hug my cat and dog ASAP.

As i'm reading this thread, and seeing the pictures, my dog just jumped on my lap and licked my face. I know I will have to go through a pet death 2 more times, so I want to make sure they have happy lives and that they know how much I love them and how happy they make me, and I hope I make them as happy.

All the jokes about his death are tasteless and too soon. I know a lot of people don't get the attachment people can have with pets, but for the sake of others here who are bummed out about his death (me included), hold off for a goddamn bit and show some tact.
As a kid, I lived in a house where I had a lot of dogs and I eventually saw many (12 in total is my estimate) die. I was very, very attached to several of them. I remember being 11 or 12 and, on the day one favorite died, wishing I was dead so I could be in Heaven so I could see one in particular again. I also remember finding another dead when I tugged her tail as she I thought she was sleeping under a big bird cage once and she didn't wake up. f***, my childhood was emotionally brutal.
Anyway, poor Nattie. One of my favorite Divas, and it always endeared me to her that she loved this cat so dearly. Long live Gismo!

So, it was Natalya who dressed Gismo up like this.

I know not everyone cares for Natalya but Jokes about her pet's death is pretty scummy IMO. If AJ Had lost a pet I'm sure She wouldn't be getting any jokes about it.

Oh man. I've never cared so much about a cat since the cat we had back in the day.
He seemed like a lovable little guy. R.I.P.

Okay...by all means, emote, but no need to get on the high-horse about it. I've had a lot of pets, and I've loved them all, and they've died and it sucks. So I get the attachment one can have to a pet. But jeez, "too soon"? None of us even know this woman personally. Honestly, this thread feels a little overboard to me, but I understand, and I wasn't going to judge until I and whoever else was judged for having the 'audacity' to make a joke or two. It's not about liking the person or not, if CM Punk's favorite parakeet Bill Cartwright died tomorrow I wouldn't be affected by that either. If it was my friend's pet, that would be different.

It's not really so much that it's Nattie's pet (That was a sidebar from me since I am a Nattie mark), but more that some jokes felt mean-spirited and awfully forced. There's a sense of obligation on this forum that comes with a lot of subjects. For example, if it's a Ghidorah thread, people feel obligated to make puns or black comedy about the awful death or whatever happened in there. If it's a Diva-focused thread, there's a 99.99% chance someone will allude to wanting to bang her in the thread. There's the Tensai meme, the Orton thighs one, HHH burying, Bret 4/10, and so on. I understand. It's just that I sometimes read an overeagerness to be able to crack the first joke and beat others to the punch, and that rubbed me the wrong way here.

Also, on the front of talking about your friend's pet vs CM Punk's Bill Cartwright (If this is real, lol. What a reference), social media and Total Divas have made Gismo feel like a friend's pet to some degree. I can't tell you how many times I have read on this forum a RIP post to someone as if the poster actually knew the original person when they were just someone on a TV screen, but people create those attachments, and it's understandable at times. I mean, when Michael Jackson died, people were just bursting with tears (They still are), while I couldn't feel the same kind of effect. I figured, 'He's just a celebrity. That sucks, but I am not going to be bummed out over him.' But by the same token, when Larry Sweeney committed suicide, I was absolutely crushed even though I had only ever known the guy through ROH shows. People form those bonds. You might think bonding Nattie (and, by proxy, Gismo) or just Gismo himself is stupid, but there's a decent chance there's some wrestler or famous person or athlete or writer or whoever you feel a weird proximity to despite your relationship having little basis in reality.

I loved seeing him on Total Divas and even her tweets about him.
As someone who has cats this is just sad

You know, I don't follow anyone on twitter or anything like that, so maybe I have a different view on feeling a closeness to a celebrity like that. I don't really find it stupid, I was just kind of surprised, especially based on how light-hearted and jokey things are around here. But yeah...I get it. I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I just like to make jokes, and I kind of felt called out so I felt compelled to respond. I'll respect everyone's feelings and refrain from making anymore about this subject. Oh and the Bill Cartwright thing was totally made up, just easin' the tension baby.
