I was very hurt by the answers

My explanation seemed to be lacking in words, and I apologize.

Buddhism aims to be freed from the six ways of heaven, man, ashura, hell, ghost, and beast (6 types of living creatures).
There is a possibility that both you and I will be reincarnated as beasts in the next life.
So, to despise it because it's a bastard is the exact opposite.
However, animals are less capable of predicting accidents than humans.
That's reality.
That's what happens when we're born beasts too.
Also, there is a possibility that cats that have passed away have now been reborn as humans and heaven (gods).
However, at the end of the day, the Rikudo (6 types of living creatures) are all ways of life that cause suffering.
Therefore, in Buddhism, we aim to be freed from the Rikudo Reincarnation.
In particular, the three types of hell, ghosts, and beasts are called the Three Evils, and they are creatures that suffer a lot.
There are no three evil ways in the Pure Land of Paradise, so if cats pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise, they will be reborn in the form of a Bodhisattva.
In the lyrics of an artist
“Nothing has to be lost, it's just that the shape changes”
There was a phrase called
Cats that have died have been reborn, and they must be alive again somewhere.
We living creatures live lost in the pain of repeatedly meeting and parting ways in this way.
Meeting is the beginning of parting ways.

What I would like you to understand in general is
Accepting the ever-changing reality and not being attached to the past is the key to reducing worry and suffering.
Saying “hurt” or “shocked” actually means “I'm angry.”
“Vulnerable people” are “angry people.”
In other words, your own anger (the anguish of not accepting reality) is making you suffer.
If you say “I'm hurt,” you'll look away from the worries of your own anger and may blame others, so be careful.
Buddhism teaches how to save people from suffering.
It's important to be aware of your own afflictions (greed, anger, laziness, pride).
In the Jodo sect, it is said that when we nenbutsu, Amida Buddha listens to it; when we worship Amida Buddha, Amida Buddha sees it; when we think of Amitabha Buddha, Amida Buddha also thinks of us.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Buddha and Nyorai can see everything equally.

Whether it's a human being, a beast, or a hungry ghost. Or even if it's a natural object.

To be precise, it is a clean emptiness with no substance at all, and it can be viewed in such a way as not to see everything in actual quantity. (Yoshitaka Katsu)

Also, at the same time, the state of suffering and good fortune of each of these sentient beings is accurately captured. (Secular)

Also, out of the will of mercy, efforts for salvation are made (good, clever, and convenient).

However, currently, unfortunately, there is no Buddha or Buddha in this Shaba world, so it is hoped that people will make an effort to practice by relying on Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures left by Shakyamuni.

In order to reach enlightenment, it is always necessary to accumulate sufficient wisdom and good fortune (merit/Bodhisattva deeds).

Whether it's Hara Mitsuri (Exoteric Buddhism) or Kongōjō (Esoteric Buddhism), that doesn't change.

However, in order to accumulate these two resources, in this Shabha world, a certain amount of ability to transform is required. This is what is called “having free time.”

Unfortunately, there are places where it falls short of that in animal husbandry. Actually, it falls short of Gaki and Hell, as well as Shura and the Realm of Heaven.

Therefore, in the Shaba world, if it is a human being, there is a possibility that you can be given time and energy, so in reincarnation, you will make a memorial service so that you can become a human being, have good relationships with the Buddha, and be able to go on a clean, good flow to enlightenment, and if you use it as a descendant to another world, the Buddha's land and pure land (for example, the three unscrupulous, torturous, and unscrupulous It's an empty world, and by sending them to paradise (such as paradise where Amida Nyorai lives), it is necessary to make them into a state where they can walk Buddhism regardless of whether they have time or ability. (In fact, during Shakyamuni's reign, animals were also indoctrinated in the Shabha world.)

I would like to offer a memorial service and turn around so that that child has an appropriate Buddhist connection, can ride a good and clean flow, accumulate two sustenance, and eventually reach enlightenment.

I would like to express my condolences at the end of the cat's life. Namu Amida Buddha

Cats won't become monsters or monsters after death. On the other hand, “I don't know” about the afterlife is a realistic and scientific attitude. Since science cannot conclude what cannot be proven, it means “you don't know until you die” about the afterlife.

Even so, when you pray “please save me” about the cats after death, doesn't the person praying make the cats “something that cannot be saved”? I think the monk wanted to explain that.

Humans feel uneasy about “something they don't understand,” but capturing it as a negative image they imagine without permission is called a “delusion,” and praying for salvation from there on the premise of delusion is called “hesitation.”
The way to get rid of that hesitation is to throw away all your delusions. To that end, what we need to wake up from delusions is not Tsugumi's cats, etc., but ourselves.
We worry about our precious death. It's a natural feeling. However, there is our own “hesitation” where we assume that the deceased is in a state where it is necessary to be worried in the form of worry. Here, there is a reversal phenomenon where only those of us who worry about the deceased are worried about the way they died.

Therein lies the Buddha's wish to “wake up to the truth.” The Buddha doesn't actually speak to our ears. That's because Shakyamuni, who existed in history, ended his life a long time ago, and he has entered nirvana.

What we have now is the law (teaching) that Shakyamuni preached and the various “functions” that tell us about that law. We find Buddha in that “action.”

Even if you can't see the wind, you can see the “work” of the wind due to fallen leaves fluttering in the wind, and you can find the presence of wind there.

Due to my “hesitation,” which is questioned since the cat's death, I notice that “my hesitation became clear” = “teaching/existence that causes hesitation.” That teaching and existence is the Buddha.

Cats are not something that cannot be saved. It's our hesitation that makes us think that way. The Buddha is the only one who wants to save us, and there is a fact that cats also work as Buddhas.

“Because I don't know the meaning of mourning”
“Those kids are going to turn into monster cats”
It's been a while. This is the person who made this point.

Still not sure?

It was very unfortunate that the cat you loved died in a traffic accident, etc., and it is natural that you are deeply saddened along with that. However, I was possessed by that sadness and “I'm just tired. I want to die already.” Losing sanity by saying things like that is neither a memorial nor a memorial service for cats that have passed away.

What if you were in the opposite position from cats?

You just died, and if the cats you've been with all this time mourn and start saying they want to die or die... what if you choose a desperate way of life or death because you're gone...

Don't you feel a huge responsibility?
Is it OK to let those cute cats feel that way?

But that doesn't mean I don't understand your feelings either.
I have one suggestion, but why don't you hold a funeral for the cats even now? Any number of sects is fine, so why not talk to a temple near you? This is not only a memorial service for cats, but I'm sure there will be a good discovery for you too.

There is a story called Buddha Charita told about Shakyamuni's previous life.

One king was a king who took life very seriously.

However, one day, pigeons chased by hawks burst into the room.

If you help the pigeon, the hawk may starve to death, but if you give the pigeon to the hawk, it will always be eaten by the hawk and it will die.

So the king asks hawks not to eat pigeons because he will give them as much meat as pigeons.

The hawk accepted the offer and decided to measure by putting the king's body flesh on one side of the scale and on the other.
However, no matter how much I put it on, the pigeon was still heavier.
There, the king realized that all lives were equal and decided to take his own life after measuring it himself.
I'm talking about the fact that the scale then weighed exactly the same.

There is no contempt, no level. They're all the same.

It's called Rokudō Reincarnation, and since there's no decision on where to go next, everyone is equal.

I also suffered a long time ago when my beloved cat died in an unexpected accident.

It is Bato Kannon who protects and guides the lost animals. I hope you can look for the temple where it is enshrined and pray.
Furthermore, if your heart is in pain, I think it's a good idea to pray at Daquiniten. She is an animal goddess with a deity who also helps humans.

I think for myself that Buddhism is not logical.
I don't think there is any discrimination in the deep actual experience of being given life in this world and making the most of it.

There is also a story about rabbits that embody the perfect practice of devotion.

It's fine.
That's because every living thing, every thing is a manifestation of the Buddha.
You'll never become a monster cat.
