  • Your cat is so freaking cute! I want to give him the biggest hugs.

    My cat is in the middle of yours and the OP’s comic. Doesn’t want to be directly held but will want to come near me and lay within my vicinity. If I’m on the bed, he wants to be on the bed. If I’m on the couch, he wants to be on the couch. Just a good distance away that I can’t reach him but I can see and hear him and he has a good area to stare at me.

    I’m sorry for your loss. But I’m glad your buddy had a loving home until their last breath. They knew love and comfort and a safe place to call home.

    My cat is around 13 years old and while he’s still youthful and plays, I worry about this day that is inevitably coming soon.

    I’ve lost other pets in the past and it’s hard but we usually get another after some time has passed. They never truly replace the pet that you lost, though. You sometimes think you’ll name it the same but you can’t. It’s too painful and there will only ever be one of that friend you lost.

    Shortly after my dad passed, the cat we had that really loved him most would spend most of her time with me. She was an old cat and I tried my best to love on her like she did to my dad and we did have a good relationship similar to the one she had with my dad. But then on a hot summer day, I found her laying on the tile of our laundry room and not having the strength to get up and just being miserable. I knew the end was coming for her and tried making her rest there as easy as easy as possible while I found a vet. I couldn’t find anything soon so she laid there for a few days but I had an appointment lined up for later that week, think it was a Thursday. I kept a fan on her and made sure she had food and water nearby and tried feeding her and giving her water but she wouldn’t accept any of it.

    The day before her vet appointment, I came home and saw my brother digging and knew what it was. She had already passed during the day while I was at work.

    It’s really difficult to deal with. They’re not just some dumb animal you had around the house. They’re family and will always carry a special place in your heart.

    I’m sorry for your loss and hope the best for you.
