      I lost a cat of mine about 1 year and 9 months ago. He didn’t die. He ran away. A former roommate of mine left the window open and he got out. Former roommate never apologized and then my phone got stolen the night after I put up a fuck ton of posters around town. And that was Halloween night. I was really counting on so many people being out and looking for black cats. I cried harder than I ever have before. I loved that cat. I still love him.

      Obligatory picture of my lost boy Apollo.

      I started crying thinking of our cat who died 4 month ago. I also wish everybody would get to know him, he was the best cat ever for us. So many stories untold… My condolences and I hope we’ll all heal after this heartbreak.

          I’m so sorry for your loss. Ours was also our baby even though I only met him when he was already 3 years old. It felt like I had to protect him and couldn’t because he had cancer :-( we and he fought so hard and in the end we had to euthanize him, but it felt like we betrayed him. I would love to hear from your kitty if you want to tell something about her!

            You didn’t betray him, you did the opposite. You provided love, care and warmth until his last moment, and you saved him from terrible suffering. There is nothing even remotely treasonous about that. He would be proud of all the choices you made.
