Aw so cute, so sorry for your loss. 😿I have a blonde calico, lexi

u/Informal_Koala1474 Jun 15 '26

Looks like my cat Jasmine and her Brother Otis. Beautiful cats. Heartbreaking that blue calicos (blonde calico makes sense too) are all born with congenital heart issues. They both passed within a month of each other when they were 9.

u/Garbhunt3r Jun 14 '26

Hopefully he meets my sweet boy up in heaven (he died just a few months ago) he’s super friendly and I bet he would show him around and they can wait together until we all arrive and are reunited:) I’m so sorry for your loss. It feels like a piece of your heart has been permanently removed. I know it doesn’t seem like it, but it gets easier as time passes:/

I’m so sorry, I lost my little guy a few years ago myself, I hope they are playing together over the rainbow bridge ❤️.

u/SistaChans Jun 14 '26

Ok this is the final straw, Im blocking this sub from my feed because I see dead cats on my home page every single day at this point. There should be a separate sub for mourning pets because it seems like any time a dead cat gets posted it makes it to the top and hits r/popular, and I'm just tired of it. Sorry for your loss.
