Lots of people cry when their Tamas leave...if you don't, you'll start getting really mad at yourself and feeling guilty, like me...
Well, if you're attached to the pet, you must have some sort of communication or bond with it. A few people, including me, believe that Tamas communicate telepathically with humans, and although that sounds really silly, if you believe that, your Angel can still be with you when it dies - that's how I console myself about it.
