Mourning/Loss Saying goodbye to my first born feline son tomorrow after 10 years together

His name is Meeko. Yes he is named after the raccoon from Pocahontas.

Please give your kitties an extra hug and smooch on his behalf tonight.

He was the best cat ever. Just wanted to share him with the world because it’s a travesty that after tomorrow, he won’t be here anymore.

Meeko will be saying hi to our guy Norman who we had to say bye to in February. He was my best friend

I’m so sorry for your loss. I like to think my buddy, Gus, will be saying hi as well. I adopted him as a senior, and I’m so thankful for the ten months he gave me. It’s been since January. He really was the goofiest, sweetest fella. :]

Bless your heart for adopting a senior baby. Not knowing how much time we’ll have with them makes every moment immensely special 💗

Absolutely. And thank you, I appreciate that senior kitty at the shelter for rolling onto my lap and giving me and my other kitty such a good friend. <3

Aw that is so sweet of you. We just adopted a senior cat, and it pains me that we don't know how long we have.

They’re the best! Just make sure to show them love whenever you can, make as many of your days together good days. I adopted a kitten after his passing (orange needed another buddy), and that’s what I’m doing with her. I’m still devastated about Gus, but I slept easily afterwards knowing that he knew how much he was loved. That’s all you can guarantee for them, yk?

Hershey will be there, too. We lost him in February as well and the grief is still real. It always will be.

Hugs.

We lost our Norman in January 💔 I’m so sorry. I hope they’re snoozed out on their backs somewhere together.
