Man. Doesn’t seem like that long ago that this girl found and rescued me. She’s been my mirror. My shadow. My constant companion across the country. My best friend.

Last week she started puking a lot. The past couple days, she’s stopped eating, now she’s not drinking, either. She doesn’t seem like she’s in pain, but it’s been a long, hard day, and she probably won’t hold out much longer.

My girl. We’ve been through so much.

They save us. If only we could save them.

I’m so sad to hear this. I’m glad at least that you can be with her and give her lots of love on the way out. My best wishes to you both in the next few days.

Damn, I’m so sorry to hear this. All great things must come to an end, whether we're ready or not. The brevity of it is great reason to savor those moments together amd remember to enjoy the time you had together which would've otherwise not been there.

It’s the fuckin worst, man. I know, love is the most important thing, but, goddamn.

Damn onion cutting Ninja’s seem to have snuck into my home office.

We had three are now a one cat household, we lost the at 16 and about 20 years old respectively. It is one of the worst feelings but being with them to say goodbye is a moment that you will always remember.

She’s a beautiful girl. I’m really sorry to hear this, having just been through losing a pet this week I can tell you that it’s the goddamn worst. Y ou gave her a great life, and she in turn gave all she could back to you. Remember the good times fondly and cherish the remaining time.

She’s the best. I’m having a very hard time right now, and I really appreciate your words.

That’s super  tough. Very pretty fuzzers right there. Staring at my kitty fighting the dust storms in the living room right now.

The hardest thing about having a wonderful animal companion is that we have to outlive them. When my wife and I lost our ferret Slinky around 10 years ago to some unknown illness it crushed us pretty hard; and I don’t think people around us really realized how much. I think you’ll find you’ve at least got people here who understand and fully sympathize with your scenario. Give her all the snuggles, and then give her one from me too. S ending the feels. Damn dust.
