Lost my boy today (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by darkdemize@sh.itjust.works to c/cat@lemmy.world
 

I'm heartbroken. We found out he was FIV positive shortly after we got him, but that doesn't make the loss any easier. He was only 1.5 years old. Hold your cats close for me tonight.

Edit: I fell asleep, so I'm sorry that I didn't respond to everyone. I'm very thankful to everyone for the kind words and support.

Ditto!! <3 He was my best friend. He was so special. He tried telling us of our miscarriage before we knew. He knew when his adopted brother was going to die. He got me through a lot of past trauma. He was invincible; it was his name (Muteki, invincible in Japanese). But he couldn't beat his failing kidneys. We buried him in our back yard. I still bring him pistachios to play with; they were his absolute favorite "toy".

Thank you for responding and may the memories of yours live forever.
