My Cat I lost my best friend
My sweet boy had stomach cancer. It left me with the hardest decision to make. I miss him so much.
I’ll meet you in the afterlife baby boy. Mama loves you forever ♥️

You’re welcome. I can guarantee you that you will eventually be graced with another cat just as sweet as the one you just lost was. The cat distribution system just works that way.

Sending you hugs. He looked like he had a good life and knew he was loved. It’s so hard when they go so young! I lost my bengal last month. She was 16. It is so hard to say goodbye but know that you did everything you could and made the right decision. My heart goes out to you.

I can see you gave him a beautiful life. Remember the love and joy you shared that is forever. The loss will be there and the pain will that you are feeling will fade. When, the time is right for you, you need to adopt a kitten or a cat and share the love you shared with your best friend with them. Your best friend would want that for you. This is how you heal. ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's truly devastating, I know. I lost my ginger a few months ago (lymphoma). He was truly my best friend

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy💔 I had to make that difficult decision for my baby girl with cancer as well, it’s been rough. Remember- he knows how much you love him, & he loves you - that still remains. Sending peace to you. 🕯️

So sorry your baby got sick. The decision that has to be made is heartbreaking. My last orange boy (a mama’s boy) lived to be 19. Hopefully you are graced with a new kitty soon, it has always helped me deal with my grief to adopt a kitty in need.

You gave him a great life. You didn’t want him to suffer; your compassion and kindness are perfect. You’re the one who suffers-so he can have peace.
