    Putting my kitty down this afternoon. Almost made it to 20. Very sad. On Xanax though.

    Edit: thank you everyone. He’s gone now. We had an at-home service put him down. He went incredibly peacefully, purring loudly as the first injection went in.

    We’re about to drive him to his brother’s grave (who died five years ago) and bury him there so they can forever snuggle.

      It sounds like you gave your kitty a long, love-filled life. I’m sorry they can’t be with you longer.

      Thanks for giving your kitty as good a life as you could. Don’t let the end cloud your vision from the good times.

      If/when you’re ready, there are more lost souls to save out there. I wish I could have cats myself, but I am not stable enough to house them. Maybe some day I will foster, but even that is probably to much for me to handle.

        Thank you for your kind words. He lived an incredible life. Working is going to be a lot more lonely without him constantly bothering me to snuggle with me all day.

        When his brother died five years ago, he was so lonely… so we adopted two baby kittens so he could be their mum. He took to them immediately, cuddling and playing and loving them. I think that might have extended his life. They’re a little confused right now with him not moving, but we didn’t let him see his brother after he died, which I think was a mistake.

        About to go drive to his brother’s grave to bury him with his brother so they can snuggle eternally.
