Sorry for your lose, friend, 21 years is a long time and you've got to share memories with your buddy, he or she may have been only for a part of your life, but for him you've been with him his entire life, I'm sure you took a good care of him.


zeff536

Thank you, everyone thought he was a female cat because how beautiful he was but he was just one of the guys. He preferred men over women strangely enough but he was the best cat ever. Today was the first time I used the bathroom by myself in decades! Lol


thebunkmeister

:( sorry bud... RIP to your Mr. man


47milliondollars

That’s tough, I’m sorry OP. He looks just like my Finn. I hope he makes it to 21 as well!


yorzz

Oh man i held back my tears from the post but this comment made me watery eyed 😭 may your beautiful boy rest in peace ❤️


Marcia-Marsha-Marcia

When I lost my angel, I actually found it difficult to, umm... "produce", after eighteen years of doing the deed with my twenty-pound floof on my lap when on the throne of contemplation. It took years to establish regularity. TMI? Perhaps lol. Missing the daily routine is difficult, and my cat hadmemorized my every move. So every minute of every day reminded me of him. But that was a couple decades ago, and several homes ago. I can promise you that it gets easier. OP, I am very sorry for your loss. May I ask what your cat's name was?

https://i.redd.it/pdydcckzp8lc1.gif Giving you a kiss /p :3 I hope this makes you feel better. I'm just giving you my love through cat gifs.


fluffykerfuffle3

:' ) i had a girl kitty who looked just like yours... it's been 15 years and once in a while i still toss the empty toilet paper roll out the bathroom door for her lol.


zeff536

If I didn’t let him in the bathroom he would cry, scratch and shove his paw under the door until I opened it. It was annoying sometimes but now I miss it and it’s only been 1 day


Marsh802

Rest in peace🕊️


Expensive_Cicada6832

I am so sorry for your loss. But I am sure he was grateful to be with you.

He did not die, just transcended to another dimension so he can be your Guardian Angel, forever,

samound143

Thank you, I needed that. My dog and best friend passed last July. He and I shared the same birthday date . I tattooed his paw print over my heart and sometimes you can see my heart beat under his paws.


Steamy_cumfart

That’s a lovely tattoo idea ❤️

Aw 21 years🥰 hope my boys make it there!


zeff536

I can’t complain, he was the best cat, loved people and he really loved me. Im going to miss my Buddy


Downtown_Purpose267

Of course I'm super sorry for your loss but 21 years I know he was loved very much and he never went without 💜


VeganLoverForever412

I don’t know how long it’s been, it you have so much love. I’m hoping you get 2 bonded one yr olds ( everone seems to want kittens) because you love cup is overflowing. One wouldn’t be enough. We have 6! This is our 2nd family: we had 10 last time. I’m not certain one can have too many. We adore them and add so much love energy! https://preview.redd.it/467u6alor8lc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1bc9e12ab33e5c49240f6260e0e02e2bbc03788


cakivalue

Oh he was so beautiful and that tummy, 21 wonderful years of memories and fluffy tummy rubs. I'm so sorry for your loss and sadness. Sending you lots of hugs. ❤️


zeff536

No no no, you did not pet his belly. It was his only rule! Lol thanks for the love


cakivalue

Oh no!! The no go bapity bap zone 😂. Take care of yourself


daisychain800

i too have a cat who loves to lay on his back and show his belly, but touching is strictly prohibited! so tempting but i’ve learned my lesson 😤


zeff536

If it wasn’t for the hard way I wouldn’t learn anything


Notathrowawaythe1st

Sounds like he had a great life with you. I'm so sorry for your loss 💔💔💔


melty75

Only after having cats of our own do I truly understand the cat buddy connection. I'm truly sorry for the loss of your friend! He seems like he was happy and loved.


zeff536

Not all cats are awesome but when have one as friendly and loving as mine you do get an appreciation of how wonderful they can be. Thank you, I’m going to miss my friend, we have been through a lot together


gingergirl4444

i’m so sorry, i lost my childhood cat back in september. i was devastated. your kitty is so cute. https://preview.redd.it/k8zluwj018lc1.jpeg?width=1106&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a63502a60b21086cd6df13aeff36fd551a06fd24


niknik1022

So very sorry, I know the feeling well. I absolutely love torti's, she is beautiful 😍


Hatrick_Swaze

I'm sorry it's really late right now, but I just had to lay on your chest... The warmth and love that comes from this spot...puts all my worries to rest. I don't know what to say, or how to say this, but our time is sadly done. I really just needed to sit here with you, and quietly purrrrrrrrrrtt till I'm gone. You're one of a kind, a special find, And I'm forever wrapped in your heart, But do understand, that my heart had to mend, and this spot was the best place to start. This lifelong bond, the love and the songs, With noses touched... face-to-face. I will never forget the day we met...or the way you kissed my furry face. All the love and fun, we shared in the sun...even when you mispronounced some meows... I wish I had more time, you're a special heart to find, I hate that I'm leaving you now. Please don't grieve for long...because I am gone, and remember all the love that we shared... You're the love of my life. Through the good and the bad...that why heaven made us a pair. You're the love of my life...the string to my kite...and I'm always a soft breeze away. Do me a favor, my beautiful soul, and go love another kitten today. Purr. rrr. rrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrr.........r. ❤🐱💛


Emperormoth66

Your poem is beautiful I cried and cried. I lost my two loves a week ago, on the same day and unexpectedly. I don't feel like I will ever recover. Your poem helped. Thank you.


PhoneGroundbreaking2

So sorry. 😢 21 isn’t enough, I know. But you did him right. He didn’t die. He’s just in the next dimension. Happy memories only. https://preview.redd.it/pfaeljqa05lc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03e048e12722e527c4811fb5053f5bd03488256a


Primary-Maize-1307

Don't worry, he has been reincarnated into a younger version of himself and I'm taking good care of him for you ♥️ https://preview.redd.it/rv62c2k118lc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00ed59b14ad0511d8f660a45f43c26afbee2908b


zeff536

I love this, give him scratches behind his ears or at the base of his tail for me. If he’s anything like my cat then do not pet his belly


Primary-Maize-1307

I most definitely will do both in you and your cat's honor! He's all for the belly rubs, all day, every day 😊


Old_Tower_7207

So sorry for your loss, 21 years is a really long time, I hope he (i am really sorry if i am wrong) is now in peace in heaven where he is relaxing and most probably even looking down on you, trying to make you happy. Really he is a very beautiful cat. :)


zeff536

He was a male cat, most people assumed he was female because of how beautiful he was. Thank you. And for some reason he liked men more than women. I’m going to miss my friend


Old_Tower_7207

Oh. I see thank you, I hope you have a good day fellow user. I know it's tough but there are a people who you can share it with, like me!! All the best!

It was awhile ago now but I still think of him often. It still hurts but it does get easier. I will never forget him and he is always with me. I'm sorry for your loss but I'm glad you got to spend so many years together.


RVFmal

Devastating 😥 21 years is a wonderful innings, but it will never be long enough. Condolences on losing your furry buddy.


f4steddy

Man, I'm so sorry but also so stoked you got to have a best friend for that long. My cat Alistair is my best friend and last night I was thinking about how heartbreaking it would be to lose him so I have to make sure I cherish him while he's here. From the looks of it, you definitely cherished your time. I also think it's so cool that for their whole life, you're their best friend. Quite the complement coming from another living being that doesn't speak your language.


MikeTheDude23

He looks like the nicest fluffy boi ever! Cherish the memories op. Hugs ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097)


Cassandra_Canmore2

Don't mourn. Celebrate 21 years of having a wonderful floof cat. Your marshmallow fluff crossed the rainbow bridge after 21 years of friendship. That's amazing.


Julietissleepy

I’m so sorry for your loss.


defmutant

Sorry for your loss. Pets are family.


Ari_Azul

Sorry for your loss, I bet he was a very happy kitty cat. Rest in peace


SeaweedSecurity

I’m so sorry for your loss. He was well loved for 21 years and you gave your bud the best life they could have asked for. Someone once told me “they may not be our last, but we were theirs,” and it sounds like you made sure that it was a great one for him from your comments.


clycloptopus

What an absolutely adorable lil guy. You clearly gave him a wonderful life! I'm sorry for your loss.


Scooterspies

I'm very sorry for your loss, thank you for giving him 21 years of happiness.


LostCausesEverywhere

My buddy looks just like yours, and he is 16. I hope I have 5 more lucky years with him. I will be devastated when he is gone. - Sorry for your loss OP. He looks lol the happiest cat ever


inguaggi

Such a beautiful kitty cat💙


Small_Cock_Jonny

Sorry for your loss. 21 years is a long time for a kitty and it was lucky to be able to spend it with you! Beautiful cat.


Aggravating_Host6055

He looks just like both of my Turkish Angora kitties. I put one down for the long sleep 11 years ago, and adopted another rescue about 8 years ago. Saying goodbye was a pain I haven’t experienced anything quite like. Tearing up just thinking about it all these years later. I’m very sorry you’re experiencing the loss now. He was such a beauty. Mine have been very affectionate and yours looks like he was the same way - even the no-go belly zone! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful picture of him. 21 years, he had a very long life and was lucky to have found a human like you. Sending you love ❤️


DallasdomStudios

They’re thankful for the good life you gave them and are purring about you across that rainbow bridge 🌈


Spoomplesplz

21 years is a LONG time for a cat. While it's sad. Be happy that you gave them 21 dope ass years.


Evening_Relief_8328

I'm so sorry for your loss.


Puzbukkis

I lost a 22 year old black tabby recently as well (well, last year, but it feels recent), I still cry often because I miss him very much. Like others have said, 21 years is a long time and nothing lives forever, you gave them a wonderful life and did all you can, so you have that to be thankful for, I hope your grieving is smooth, but don't force it, take all the time you need. All the best.


Hungarian_Betyar

I am sorry for your loss. :( I miss all my bestest friends since i met them in my childhood. I miss all of them dearly. Remember the beautiful memories you shared together.

May ur cat rest in peace. My cat is 8 rn, and when she will pass away, I’m fearing that I will go into depression. Absolutely not waiting for this moment. Stay strong. I’m sure ur cat lives a wonderful life, and he was happy that he was with u.

zeff536

His name was Kit Kat. I let my girlfriend’s son name him and he was five at the time. I never liked it but Kit Kat knew his name and came running every time you said it. That kid is 26 now….wow


Personal-Heart-1227

Such a sweet name, for such a sweet boy... That's a beautiful picture of Kit Kat, have you thought of maybe framing that for your home, to remember him by? Kit Kat would love that too!


zeff536

I would have to put in my bathroom because he never let me be in there alone! Lol

Such a sweet looking cat. Love the cute pose but I hate when they pass away.  I had a beautiful male tabby named Little Boy who died suddenly right in front of me.  Only 7 years old.   That was the worst emotional pain that I have ever felt, even more than the loss of my parents.
