pets dropping like flies!

since august, one of my hermit crabs died, one of my caterpillars died, one of my praying mantis's died, and just last night, my hamster died! i am sick of the death, but i see the light at the end of the tunnel. All my other pets are either younger or pets that live a long time, like a tarantula and hermit crabs. My cat is getting older though, he is older than i am. He doesn't seem that old yet though! Then, my fish, he is the most resilient pet i have ever had! he gets dropsy, like every 3 weeks, and fights it off every time on his own, without medication! so he is fine. My hamster died last night, i am pretty sure it was old age though, as i had had him for 2 and a half years, which is a little above the average for a rodent, and i don't know how old he was then, so he couldn't have been about three years old when he died. he lived a long life. Pretty sure his death was because it was his time. It is so sad though, because he never bit once, and hamsters usually bite a lot! he was such a sweet heart! I hope he died in his sleep! Most hamsters don't look that cute. In my opinion, and my parent's opinion, them and guinea pigs don't look as cute or furry as other rodents. But he was an exception! And as scared as he was, he never bit once! One thing you realize more strongly than ever after a pet death is how much closer you become to all your other pets afterwards, because you never know when it could happen to the rest of them!
