My boy is gone

My dear kitty boy passed away on Monday. He was nearly 17, and getting creaky and old, and took a sudden downturn on Sunday night. I was travelling back home from a trip abroad and didn’t make it back in time to see him before he went. The house is so quiet and empty without him. 😢

I'm so sorry.

He knew he was loved.

I'm so sorry Kalinka. I lost one of my boys on Saturday, but had left to travel the Thursday before. A big cat shaped hole in my life now. Hugs to you

Oh what a handsome boy!
I'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear about your lovely boy. The first few days are awful, but it does get better. Hold onto all those lovely memories and the fact you had him in your life.

So sorry @kalinkafoxtrot45. He was absolutely gorgeous and obviously, much loved and cared for

Chocmallows · 03/05/2019 00:46

So sorry, a loved cat leaves a lot of sadness, but they are worth the love

I'm so sorry. He looks to have been a very nice boy.

What I would suggest is that you consider getting a new cat soon. Obviously your lovely boy will always have a place in your heart, but a new kitten may help to ease the pain.

So sorry for your loss He looks so handsome.

So sorry you’ve lost your special Boy. 🌼

Middleoftheroad · 03/05/2019 09:39

So sorry

What a handsome boy. He looks like my dear cat (in his tux) who sadly left us too.

Sounds like he had a happy, long life and was loved and those memories will stay with you always.

I'm so sorry for your loss, he looks a lovely boy. The space they leave can come as a shock, but just shows how much they were loved. You wouldn't miss him if you didn't care so much.
