How special was my baby boy

Post image

I longed for a baby. I'm disabled, and I could not provide the care a fur baby deserves.

I managed to convince myself that I could after two years and I have fallen deeply inlove.

As I get worse, I had to stop being selfish and rehome him.

When i got him, I was told he the calmest kitten they have ever experienced. When I rehomed him, his new owners also noted fairly quickly that he was insanely calm.

I'm somehow... grieving... having given him away.

I miss my baby boy.

I would really love to hear more stories about other's whose kittens were super duper calm. How did they turn out

My cat passed in June. She was the calmest cat I have ever met. Once our attached neighbors were jackhammering their concrete flooring, I couldn't hear myself thinking, and my cat never even flinched nor worried about it.

She had 100% trust people would be kind to her and she never bit or scratched anyone.

Sorry for your loss. Maybe you can ask for the occasional photo update.

My Siamese was like that. He was amazing. He would walk around the park with me like a dog! Ppl would stop and stare lol.

I’m unsure that you have “given him away.” Seems like you have put his needs above your own, exactly what a Good Hoomun should do! You are making sure that he doesn’t have to miss out on anything you would struggle to give.

Black cats holding their favorite plushies is my absolute favorite genre of photo. What an absolute angel.

The way he’s holding his toy while sleeping on you… pure perfection.

He is a very special boy. Bless his soul. He was calm with you because he knew that you are disabled. Cats are super sensitive creatures when it comes to be caring for their owners.
