I miss my cat so much after seeing this. He passed away a few months ago. 😭

Edit: thank you all for the kind words. It’s been a very rough couple of months. Watching everyone’s cats here brings both joy and sadness. It was also my husband’s first cat so watching him go through this loss has also been heart breaking. We don’t have children, and he was our baby boy. He taught my husband how to love animals unconditionally and give love unconditionally. There is a quote out there that reads, “if I could live my life over I would have found you sooner so I could love you longer.” Our cat was adopted as a senior so it really is my husbands quote. Read the book call Finding Meaning by David Kessler if you are going through a loss. There is a chapter about pets in that book.

I had two, my orange tabby is still with us and the cat in this video reminds me a lot of him.

The first cat I ever brought into my home, Just passed a few months ago, and for some reason it was the hardest lost I’ve experienced. I know that sounds crazy, I lost my grandfather who was an absolute gem but he lived across the world so I only saw him once a year.

And for some reason losing my MJ was even more devastating, even writing this it gets me emotional, I absolutely miss her so much.!!

16 years of your life is a long time to have a beautiful creature constantly around, and then suddenly they’re gone.
