Whats something nice I can do for a chick that has just lost her cat of 15 years? Trying to score some points with her. She is a very sensitive girl with a huge heart.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Clean the cat blood off your tires, for one thing.

I'm sure Hallmark has a card for just this occasion.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Stuff it and mount it. NO NOT FROM BEHIND, ON A PLACK!
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
HAHAHAHAH. When I say that I'm laughing out loud, I'm really ****ing LOLing. Giovanni Casanova and Go getta, wtf hahaha. ****ing hilarious. I thought I'd be laughing for longer after each message, but mintxx helped me out with the lamest thing that could have been said. I like cats and the fact that they allow me to say ***** (well at least outside this board), but it's dead man. Some people don't do that for their mothers (basterds).
Don't remind her of it is some good advice. Invite her over to watch "My Dog Skip" in the candlelight with a bottle of Merlot (yeah I'm classy ****heads)- you get my point.

I dont think there's a certain thing you could do to make her happy or something (maybe the flowers would work, though? no idea...). But you could be there for her do some fun stuff and keep her mind off of this.
Btw, losing a cat of 15 years can sure effect a person emotionally, so you guys might want to not make these kinds of jokes if it ever happens to somebody you know in real life.

er.. her cat did die but she was over it after a day or two. i was joking, i know she's not going to have a tombstone for a cat, what i mean is, there's nothing you can do, it's not a human, so just don't bring it up unless you're her gay friend or it ate your performing rat.
think about it... if you cracked the cylinder head on your camaro and had to get an engine rebuild or something, you'd be upset but if she gave a **** you'd be kind of freaked out.. girls know that guys are not supposed to care about cats.

Here is an idea. (I don't think it is TOO sappy.)
At your local craft shop you can find a “stepping stone” kit. It is a bag of dry cement, a mold and a pamphlet of ideas.
We had a dog years back that died. I took his blue food bowl and chipped it into pieces and imbedded them around the edges like a mosaic. I wrote his name and years of his life and added 'Our warrior will be forever loved’. The stepping stone is in my garden.
Since I've made memory stones of many events, trips to the beach with seashells, a piece of tire from when my husband broke 8 seconds at the drag strip, a cork from a bottle of champagne, even a golf ball and tees to commemorate his hole-in-one day with the date, names and date of new babies in the family, etc...
Anyway, even if she doesn't have a garden or patio she will one day and her kitty will always have a place in her heart and garden or deck. You could make it and maybe draw a kitty face, write the name and years of its life and add a sentiment that may describe her kitty. Maybe it is something you and her could do together and let her tell you all about the antics and memories her kitty offered.

I like your idea pixie, but I think he should not overdo it..not because it's not "manly", but because concentrating too much on her cat who just died will make her sad feelings only stronger.
Maybe you could do something like that for her (w/o overdoing it) and then just focus on having a great time with her so she doesn't think of her cat all the time, but rather of you and her having a good time.

Have sex with her, that should cheer her up.
