Dino got a tumor in the stomach, inoperable. He got the shot last Sunday, it was for the best. Rather than him starving to death. He was 11 years old, and lived a good life with us. He came to us from a household with many cats, at the ripe age of four. He was bullied by the other cats. He seemed to be really happy with just our company. We managed to get him to loose a lot of weight as well, he couldn’t wash his behind properly when we got him. He loved his plastic bag, and chilling in the shade at the balcony. I’ll always remember my annoying orange chunker

    He was named Dino because his tail broke off when he was born, and a child went 'wow he looks like a dinosaur! '😃

      I was gonna ask why he was called that, that’s pretty cute ngl 🦖

      Reminds me of my aunt’s cat who had a permanently bent tail because it got trapped in a door, she named him after a comic book dog though lol

    RIP to your adorable ginger, you did the right thing where stomach cancer is concerned, it’s the worst.

    I’m so fucking sorry for your loss, Dino sounds like he was an awesome cat! If you wanna share any happy memories of him I’d love to hear more about his life <3

      He really was an awesome cat. All cats I’ve had have been awesome, but he might be extra special, just because he was such an independent dude, you know? He was so happy being alone, you could really tell he loved living without other cats, and just me, my so and her son.

    We have two cats that fight about a plastic bag. One is getting on and has issues related to his teeth.

    I hope you’re ok. At least Dino didn’t suffer, hopefully he’s happy with a bag or balcony over the rainbow now.

    We lost our cat a very similar way a few months ago. A stray from the back of our flat that we adopted, also bullied by the other strays! All I hope is that we gave her a good life

    Love you Dino! May the feeder never run out and the sun on the balcony be plentiful.

    Here’s a hug, and a chug to Dino’s last voyage. My orange dumass is having dinner as I write this. Will say loving words to him. Take care
