My cat just died

Some will know BastardCat, my massive ‘tooled up’ Panther. As per normal, he got up when MrCat got out of bed. As MrCat prepped his breakfast he did his usual purring whilst simultaneously weaving in and out of MrCat’s legs. He suddenly made a weird noise, MrCat turned around and BastardCat!was on his side, dead. It was that sudden. He’d just had his eight birthday.

We are devastated.

I am so so sorry.

My girl (a bit of a bugger of a dog) died suddenly too.

It doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel natural. It doesn’t feel fair.

No warning. No chance for a cuddle. No chance to say goodbye.

The ONE thing I took from it was that it was sudden and she hopefully felt no pain and I hope it was the same for bastardcat.

I know your pain and I’m sorry. SadFlowers.

May his little hairy soul be happy and peaceful and may your heart’s sorrow ease enough to remember him with joy. x

Oh god that's awful SadThanks

So sorry for your loss, heart breaking so young. Guessing an aneurysm or quick cardiac event.

He sounds like he died so happy - and you gave him that

PurpleRainDancer · 09/03/2021 14:46

So very sorry about your beloved cat Flowers

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 09/03/2021 14:47

And yes, as Laurie says, he died happy and loved. 💜

FiveGoMadInDorset · 09/03/2021 14:48

Oh that is so sad, I am so sorry 😢

LuckyBug89 · 09/03/2021 14:48

I'm so sorry for your loss. My little 5 year old cat passed away on Saturday morning quite suddenly. It's heart breaking. I found out what caused it after (a blockage in his urinary tract) but it doesn't make the loss any easier. Thanks

LordFoofingtonismyMaster · 09/03/2021 14:48

Ah god I'm so sorry, others are right, when you're ready try to take comfort that he was happy and loved. X

So sorry we lost our adorable goofy fat bastard boy suddenly (a dog killed him) it's awful. Felt let our hearts have been ripped out and stamped on.

RIP beautiful boy Thanks

So sorry to hear of your much loved cat passing away. It sounds sudden and quick, and if he didn't suffer then it's better that way. ,bless him.
My cat died at 21 years old, brain tumour, and he wasnt ready to go when the vet came. He fought the vet with all his might.. Terrible to lose loved cats and pets. They truly are part of the family. Mr Cat must miss him badly. Hugs for you and Mr. Cat

I am so sorry xxxx

Igmum · 09/03/2021 14:57

So sorry and sending love ❤️

Rupertpenrysmistress · 09/03/2021 14:59

Oh no I am so sorry op that is awful. I do recall some of bastardcats antics. [Flowers]

MrsCatE · 09/03/2021 15:18

Thanks to all for your condolences. BastardCat was a rescue - and immediately adored MrCat and the feeling was mutual. He went from this teeny scrap to 8.7kgs at his fighting weight.

What a lucky little soul he was to find you and MrCat

Fluffycloudland77 · 09/03/2021 15:29

I’m so sorry, it hurts so much to lose them.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 09/03/2021 16:02

I'm so sorry that is absolutely tragic - heartbroken for you Flowers

Oldraver · 09/03/2021 17:07
Thanks
Evvyjb · 09/03/2021 17:38

I'm so sorry. He must have had the most wonderful life with you Flowers

TheLongRider · 09/03/2021 18:47

I'm so very sorry for you and MrCat. Flowers

He must have been an epic cat with many great memories of him.

Chimeraforce · 09/03/2021 18:54

Sorry that is so sad 😭 he was a lucky cat with parents who loved him. It hurts though. My cat died at about that age nearly 2 years ago. It still hurts.

CatChant · 09/03/2021 18:54

I am so sorry. To lose him out of the blue and so young must seem unreal. At least he didn't have time to suffer and he was happy right up to the end. And it sounds like he had a lovely life with you.

Be kind to yourselves. It's always hard to lose them. Flowers

We lost our lovely black cat in exactly the same way during the first lockdown, he was waiting for my dd having a shower, when she got out he was laid gasping and passed away. I take comfort from the fact he was at home and we didn't have to make the decision and take him to the vets where he was terrified. Your cat was a beauty. This was Atticus.

What a beautiful photo of your handsome boy stickytreacle

To all who have lost Flowers

MrsCatE · 09/03/2021 19:15

Thanks again. There was no warning - one second he was purring away in anticipation of his breakfast, next second a weird small cough sound and he’d gone

MrsCatE · 09/03/2021 19:16

We tried to breathe into his mouth but he was gone
