I just got back inside from burying him. I put him in the yard near the deck so I’ll always know where he is and I can visit him.
He was my best friend and the best cat you could ever ask for. Not a mean bone in his entire body. He never bit, scratched or growled. He was a cuddle bug right up until yesterday when he came and kneaded on me before bed last night.
We got him back in 2012 from a petsmart. Originally we planned on getting another cat but Wolfie won us over, he just looked so cute in his cage lying on his back. I remember the other cat jumping on him.
He loved butter and anything diary and would always pester me when I was having milk or cheese. Just 2 weeks ago he jumped up on the counter and took shredded cheese out of a bag.
He always had health problems. When he was young we had to have his teeth pulled due to infection. And his stomach had always bothered him. I wonder if that played a role in his death.
I was with him at the end giving him pets as I watched him take his final breaths.
I love you my little peanut head and hope to see you again someplace better when I pass on to.
Loss is a terrible thing. The loss of a pet is without a doubt one of the hardest forms it comes in. The unconditional, unwavering love a pet expresses takes up more space in your heart then you are even aware. It is as if they exist simultaneously as diminutive souls and as lumbering giants. It’s the giant you feel the absence of, it’s the giant that leaves its impression on you, it’s the giant you will always remember.
Love, in all forms, from all sources, develops us as creatures. You are who you are in part due to the love this giant shared with you. Like a blessing from beyond the vale of the real, you have been touched and forever changed. Carry it with you, and you will always have them at your side.
I’m so happy for the life you shared together, know that it was beautiful.
That’s beautiful what you wrote and it’s making me tear up all over again. Thank you for this.
this is beautifully written ❤️ what a lovely sentiment.
Sorry for your loss, friend.
I’m glad you were able to help him find peace at the end
It’s always so hard watching our pets go but take solace in the good times you had with him
You and Mr. Softie will always be loved
I have some great memories with him. He was like my last link to my mom who passed 3 years ago too. She loved him dearly as well and the two of them bonded when I went abroad to live with a girlfriend.
My deepest sympathy
Rest in power, Mr. Softie
i’ve cried several times today for you and your cat and i’m so sorry I wish he could have lived forever
Me too, it’s always the thing. You wish you had more time or could have done something different. I’m at peace atm in the fact that I loved him and he loved me, I took good care of him and always had him as my priority.
I’m so sorry. I know how awful it is to lose a pet, and I hope you’re hanging in there okay.I’m at peace right now but earlier on I was really going through it. But I know how weird grief can be having lost my mom, it isn’t an all the time thing.
I’m so sorry. He was a lovely cat, always enjoyed your pictures of him and I know he knew you loved him. That’s our blessing and curse as cat guardians: we get all the love, but in return we agree to be with them until the end, to help ferry them to their deaths, holding them to their last breaths. I know Mr. Softie appreciated you to the last. Thanks for being there for him.
RIP Mr. Softie
kicking it with Biggs now
He would have loved Biggs-kun.
They’re 100% hanging out together now. Some based as fuck pets
His bones are earth
His flesh is dust
His breath is wind
That last moment with them is so annihilatingly painful but it is so important to be there with them as their rock during a confusing and scary time for them.
I’m happy you two had each other.
So sorry for your loss. From your posts about Mr. Softie, it was obvious that you loved him dearly and I know you gave him the best life possible. I’m glad that you shared pictures of him with us, seeing other people’s pets here always makes me smile.
Fly high Mr. Softie
I’m so sorry for your loss.
RIP to a real one.
Sorry for your loss. He sounded like the best companion you could ask for.
Losing a pet is so hard, but know that he loved and appreciated you being there with him at the end. You gave him a wonderful life.
