My lovely little boy cat found dead today

[BotBotticelli]

He had been missing for 2 days. He has been diagnosed with a terminal heart condition recently and vet said he wouldn’t have long left.

She had offered to PTS as his breathing was laboured but he responded well to diuretics and was purring/running/jumping as usual so we brought him home to have lots of cuddles with the kids.

Vet did say there was a chance he would have a heart attack and die and it seems like that’s happened. Neighbour found him in her garden today.

I am so sad. He was only 18 months old. It was a generic malformation of the heart which was only picked up a few weeks back.

He was the loveliest cuddliest kitty - so tolderant and snuggly, let my 6yo son carry him round on his shoulder like a parrot. Used to nuzzle and “suckle” at my clothes purring his head off like a little motorboat.

I am gonna miss him so much.

Pic attached from when he was little. Crazy little thing liked to sleep like that on my lap.

Am sorry for your loss. It's always hard when we lose a pet esp one so young

Awww . What a pretty boy. So sorry.

Ohhhh he’s just gorgeous. Sounds like such a joyful character. Lovely memories for you all. Sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss he was beautiful and sounds like a lovely boy x

Think what a lovely life he had, running and jumping about until the end. I know it's shit to lose them, we've been there quite a lot in the last couple of years. Sending purrs from our lot and hugs

Awww your poor boy. You must be heartbroken. He's beautiful. I'm sure he had a wonderful life with you.

It’s such a shock when they go with no or little warning, but what a lovely time he had right up until the end. Run free kitty cat x

They go a little way out of their normal territory when they know their time has come. Makes it worse because you’ve been so worried they’re missing. So sad to find him gone.
You’ll have great memories of him.

So sorry for your loss

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful puss

I’m so sorry. What was his name?

Oh my. What a beauty.

My beautiful ginger tom was poisoned when he was about 18 months old. He was the snuggliest cat I’ve ever known. I could wear him around my neck like a scarf and he would sleep in my bed lying along my chest.

Sending hugs.

I’m sorry about your beautiful cat

I'm so sorry, he was beautiful. It sounds like he had a lovely life with you and you have some lovely memories with him.

Ah, I’m sorry bot. He was a cutie.

So sorry, he was obviously a very loved boy

Awwwww bless him, what a little character! It's so unfair when they are young.

That is the best photo I have ever seen of a cat!

He is gorgeous and you have given him a wonderful happy life.

Thank you all xxx am having a really hectic time at work atm and house is hectic with kids off school and feels like there’s no time to get my head round how sad I am.

His name was Joe - named by my eldest son after the character in the Magic Faraway Tree books which we were reading to him last year when the kittens arrived 😍

Beautiful little cat

I'm so sorry. That is sad. It sounds like he was well loved and cared for so even though his life was short, it was happy.

What a gorgeous sweetheart he was! And great little character. It’s horrid when you lose them, my heart goes out to you.

What a beautiful cat who clearly had an amazing life with you - how desperately sad that it was cut so short.
Treasure your wonderful memories of the good times to help you through these dark days. X

what a gorgeous boy. So sorry for your loss. He sounds like he loved life and his family, take some comfort from that
