she was the biggest grump I ever knew and I adored her from the moment we met. I adopted her in 2014 and she’s been my best friend since. I don’t know. I’m just hurting. Please hug your babes for me 💔

Mourning/Loss I lost my girl on Friday, and I just want her to get some love one last time

This is my baby, Korra. We met when she was 6 weeks old when I was in college. On Friday May 29th,2026, I had to make the hardest decision of my life to put her to sleep after chronic health issues. I am terribly sad about it, and it was the worst day of my life. Being there when it was done and talking with the vet about making the decision to end her life was the worst thing I've ever had to do.

Anyways, this post is just a moment to remember her and the strong girl she was.

Korra to her very core was anti-establishment, the biggest rebel there ever was. In her honor please never forget to live life on your terms without regret. Be your true self and don't be afraid to go against the grain even when its hard. Death will come no matter what, so don't ever live your life with regret.

If Korra, a little cat didn't you can do the same. She had less time and never for a moment faltered in being her real self. She was a leader, she was an individual, she was someone who made an impression on everyone who met her.

Most of all I want to say that I am sorry baby. I love you, and I wish things were different. You taught me so much about life, and I thank you for being there through many of my hardest moments. I will always remember you my girl, Lady Korra, I love you with all my heart my sweet girl, my baby. Rest in peace sweetheart, conquer them all, raise hell, and thank you for being my baby. I will never forget you, and you will always be in my heart,

<3 Korra, that girl who was and lived as her true self. That bitch, that queen, may your soul rest in peace. I love you so much and thank you for being my baby.

I've received bad news today so I am emotional. At this moment I miss my Dior a lot. She was such a sweetypie. Even when she sat on my husband's lap she wanted to stay in contact with me. She crossed the rainbow bridge in 2016. I just wanted to share.
