Does anyone have any tips for how to deal with something like this.
My pet cat died a few days ago. He was my best mate I'm trying to hold it together and not doing very well tbh.

Richey, I understand your pain. I've lost several over my lifetime. There's really not much to say. Like the loss of any loved-one, it'll ease over time.
You might want to go to a shelter or pound and find a pet, a cat or dog, that has no home and very little chance for the future and save it. Put some of the love you had for your lost pet into the one you've rescued. It might help a bit.
Again, I'm so sorry. I know how it feels.

i want to say something nice to you, but im a bit spastic and tactless when it comes to emotions. don't feel guilty for not being with your lil buddy every moment of last week, he was a cat, it probably would have done his head in anyway

So sorry for your loss Ian
Thank you. That is a good article - it's good to read something from the perspective of someone who really understands how it feels.

My sympathies, friendo. Haven't anything in the way of coping tips, though. Haven't lost a pet(or ever had a pet again for that matter) in decades and when I did I almost certainly handled it poorly. It's sad to think I don't really remember it that well anymore. Bloody time making short work of us all. Err, anyway, hang in there, champ. Remember the good times, relish in the fact that those times could be had at all etc.

Also FWIW you would have really liked him.

That's actually good advice. Don't be shy.
Apart from that I find getting drunk helps. Clearly not sustainable as a strategy but for now it'll do

Sorry to hear that Ian. I'm not an animal person really, but I do appreciate that many people see their pets as an "official" member of the family. All I can do is give you my sympathies, and assurance that you will come to terms with it in time, even though right now that doesn't seem possible. As the old saying goes, time is a great healer.
