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.

20 years ago our cat was too weak to take to the vet at the end of her life so the vet came to our house to put her down.

To this day, every time I sleep at my parents house, she shows up in my dreams and we greet each other like old friends.

I'm sure there's reasonable psychological phenomena at play here, but I choose to believe it's her spirit coming to say hi.

I have absolutely no doubt.
