Listen to this episode if you've ever cried harder over your cat than over your marriage. When a divorce reorganizes every corner of your life, your cat is often the one steady heartbeat left in the house. And when that cat stays with your ex, gets sick, or keeps reminding you of the life you lost, the grief can feel bigger than anyone around you understands.In Episode 142 of Diary of a Cat Mom, Dagmar sits down with her longtime friend Dawn Wiggins, therapist, divorce recovery coach, integrative healer, and host of the Dear Divorce Diary podcast. They first recorded together back in 2015, and this conversation feels like two friends who have both walked through divorce with cats by their side.Dagmar opens up about the relationship where her ex kept their cat, the hours of crying that followed, and the surprising thing that happened the moment she let go. Dawn shares how her pets kept her from feeling unmoored after her own divorce, why she checked behind every shower curtain with her "squad" at night, and why grief was never meant to be done alone.If you're a cat mom rebuilding after divorce, this episode is a warm, honest reminder that your love for your cat is real, your grief is valid, and your healing can start with something as simple as sitting still and breathing with your kitty.What You'll Learn in this Cat Podcast EpisodeWhy losing a cat, or being left alone with one, can hurt more than the divorce itselfHow to respond (or not) when someone says "it's just a pet"Where the line sits between leaning on your cat for comfort and hiding from lifeHow caring for cats gives structure and purpose when your old role disappearsWays to make a quiet house feel less lonely at night, on weekends, and on holidaysHow to grieve a cat who is still alive but now lives with your exHow to work through guilt, spite, and power struggles over pet custodyWhether visitation with a shared cat helps you heal or keeps you stuckHow to introduce a new partner to your cat, and what his reaction tells youOne simple co-regulation practice to do with your cat this weekTimestamps & Chapters00:00 Welcome: Life After Divorce and Cats with Dawn Wiggins00:52 Why losing a cat after divorce hits so hard01:35 Grieving the cat more than the marriage06:40 When people say "it's just a pet"12:17 Leaning on your cat for emotional support vs. hiding from life17:04 Cats as structure and purpose after divorce18:46 Coming home to a quiet house22:41 When your cat reminds you of your ex25:04 Coping with a senior or sick cat during divorce grief28:44 Grieving a cat who lives with your ex34:11 Guilt and letting go of what you can't control36:46 When your ex keeps the cat out of spite38:52 Pet visitation: healing or staying stuck?40:47 Information vs. integration: why support groups matter44:13 Dating again and introducing a new partner to your cat47:05 One thing to do this week: breathe with your cat48:56 What your cat bond teaches you about your next chapter51:07 How to connect with Dawn WigginsGuest BioDawn Wiggins is a therapist, divorce recovery coach, and integrative healer, and the host of the Dear Divorce Diary podcast.
