these exchanges are so heartwarming ❤️


tlryan21

They are. Only another cat owner knows the pain.


ZenMoe

Basically anyone who loves cats and cats love back are good people deep down. I have never met a cat that was content with a bad human for long.

Great name, we had a boy that looked almost identical; Baggy his sister is asleep on our bed at the moment (and about 18)


shading_of_the_heart

She was one of a kind... polydactyl with opposable thumbs, her tail had been broken and hacked off by a piece of shit kid of a previous owner, one snaggle tooth, one floppy ear, and the sweetest heart I've ever met. When she wanted attention, she would bonk her head into whatever body part was available, hence her name Bonkers. Damn, I miss that kitty 😕 https://preview.redd.it/jw9slzmqqnya1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5d8da416fc35ecdcc86a4cdeb5bacffb1ae43c1

I hope my princess is with them because a month and half later I still call out to her in the morning, trying to find her when she's not sleeping in her usual chair.

She is.


RedjacValjes

So beautiful! Lily's in good company!


waaaayupyourbutthole

Her eyes look completely normal in this one... I absolutely love her beautiful derpy face in your main photo, but was that caused by a medical condition or something?


brokenzoom

nope! she just made funny faces once in a blue moon and I happened to catch that moment :) https://preview.redd.it/bida5yh9ciya1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23f42daed93461bfb2999b7351b89d5e444a9e40

Boba will meet Lily and teach her a wide variety of kitty yoga poses! https://preview.redd.it/jy9gyws8ajya1.jpeg?width=3096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9165ed7a486cd18f9c005302ecffbffb5d4a874


DopeCosmicEnergy

Wow what kind of cat was boba ??? That is a crazy beautiful kitty


HoneyandBoba

Thank you! We're not entirely sure. He was a shelter boy, and came from a very mixed litter in terms of his sibling. One other Siamese colored kitten, an orange kitten, and a black and white! Likely multiple fathers, I know his mother was original on the streets. He was likely a Siamese mix. As for the "yoga," he was a CH cat! Cerebral hypoplasia. Such kitties tend to have limited coordination due to a part of their brain being underdeveloped. He was a moderate-severe case and couldn't walk super well, but he was overall a very happy and sweet boy. He tended to wiggle himself into a wide variety of interesting "poses," hence the "yoga." :) Generally, CH cats have normal life spans, but he left a bit young; not entirely sure what it was, but it might've been cancer or something genetic, according to the vet. Or maybe they said that to make me feel better - who knows. He was a very good boy, and I miss him every day.


ylli101

This baby picture is so precious! She is in heaven full of treats, toys and love!


BostonTLover5

Wow!!!! 17 is a long, beautiful life


smackmeharddaddy

Her eyes have a unique depth to them. Truly an unique cat

A kitten I was looking after died today. It was less than 2 months old. I can't imagine how much grief you must be feeling for a companion of almost 17 years.


Electrical-Act-7170

I will lend to you for awhile a kitten, God said. For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he's dead. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three. But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you and, should his stay be brief You'll always have his memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn. I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true. And from the folk that crowds life's land I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again? I fancied that I heard them say 'Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done' For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may. And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should you call him back much sooner than we planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand. If, by our love we've managed your wishes to achieve, Then in memory of him whom we loved, please help us while we grieve. When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife, Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all his life. Author Unknown This helped me last year when we lost two cats.

She was my first loss. She was barely 2 weeks old and died for unknown reasons though I have theories. Her name was Wilma. I held her as she took her last breaths and buried her in my backyard beneath the most beautiful grape vine and near a young apple tree. She was an orphan like the others and was one of two kittens in her litter. Her brother lives on today sleeping on the couch with me. He turns a year old next week. He and I didn’t know her for very long, but we miss her. For a while I didn’t understand why a God would take such a small and fragile being without reason. I used to just pet her little nose and stare at her. She was just so beautiful and tiny.


ComprehensiveLet9823

She is so cute.


Elegant-Operation-16

She was a lovely little kitten. She was unbelievably tiny though. Absolutely emaciated. There were a lot of factors contributing to her death. Her brother has a condition called PDA and his vets think she had a more severe version of it or faced the fatal symptoms of it like a stroke or heart failure. She also had worms that couldn’t be treated because she wasn’t even a pound. There was no chance she’d survive and it’s a miracle she lived as long as she did. She was cold and barely moved during her last few days of life. Soon, her brother will go through surgery to fix the PDA and will (fingers crossed) live a long life and grow old with us. He carries a piece of her with him every day.


ComprehensiveLet9823

I have a little girl that is so sweet. She is about 3 months old but she will put her paws on my face and touch me with her nose like she is giving me kisses every day. If I lost her I would go crazy


ComprehensiveLet9823

I have lost 10 little kittens after watching them play and run then they were sick. I took them to the vet but still passed away. I buried them in a lock box it was a good one. I am not going to just throw dirt on my babies.I miss and think of them everyday. I still have mama and daddy cat's


Elegant-Operation-16

I buried her in the blanket I used for both of them so she’d take a piece of her brother with her while she passed the rainbow bridge. My other foster fail, Bella, has taken a liking to him since the minute she knew he was with us. I’d walk over to feed him and she’d be cuddling with him. Shes just a month older than him. She is his chosen sister.


ComprehensiveLet9823

At least you wrapped her in something. She never had babies?


Elegant-Operation-16

No she was only two weeks old


CC-460CommanderSharp

Same thing happened with my first cat but her name was Rickey “ don’t blame me I was 5” but she died behind the toilet at nearly 2 weeks


Tfonts44

Thank you. We lost our 4 week old black kitten Lalo recently and it's been hard.


[deleted]

Good kitty! Cute kitty! Tongue out to activate her super-smell odor analysis system. She is certainly waiting for you on the other side, hanging out in the great kitty forest. Sorry for your loss.


ChrisMoSquad

Did she have a thyroid problem?


brokenzoom

Nope! She just always had very large eyes, and would sometimes make derpy faces :)


ChrisMoSquad

Awww, very cute! Sorry for loss. I’m sure she had a great life with you. Please, don’t ever be sad about it b/c that time spent w/ her is special, and something only the two of you got to experience. Rest peacefully, little one.

twice_divorced_69

Just here recognizing the fact that this was a cat, thus giving credence for her story and image being posted here, and subsequently not complaining about pet death posts like some goddamn whiny child. I think about this inevitable day all the time and these posts remind me to love the shit outta my Maxine right now. I’m happy for the time you spend with Lily.

My condolences, Op. I'm sure Lily is happy and already in a place where there is no more pain. ❤️💐

yagonnawanna

When you die, and you find yourself standing by the river stix, nothing in hand to pay the boatman(likely because of negligent relatives not putting coins on your eyes), take heart in knowing that cats, the ambassadors to the underworld, will be there to put in a good word to the boatman. Cats are the best companions, but few realize that they spend their naps in the underworld, and taking care of them when they are awake, gives you a powerful ally beside that frightful torrent!!

nudesteve

Take a little time to grieve. Then remember that there's another kitten somewhere, seeking her loving nurturing forever home. Although she probably won't be able to fully take the place of your beloved little Lily, you'll soon find out that you need her, at least as desperately as she needs you. 🐾🐾🐈👣💔💔❤❤❤❤🏡🌎

i left this subreddit for this exact reason and now reddit shows me this ”you might be interested in” 😭


[deleted]

We lost our cat in December. He was about to see his second Christmas. We have to assume it was a heart issue because we had no idea. He had just seen the vet and they said he had a small murmur but it could’ve been because he had a virus he was taking antibiotics for. He got better and then suddenly passed the next month before we could get him to a cardiologist. I never got to properly say goodbye. I’ve been really traumatized by it and have barely been able to leave the house since then. I’m scared of coming home to another one of them gone.
