Saying goodbye to Aubrey

I'm heartbroken to share that I have to say goodbye to my beloved cat, Aubrey, who has been my constant companion for 14 wonderful years. Known in our neighborhood as the friendly legend who'd always say hello with a little head bump. He's forever on my lap or sleeping by my side.

Since Christmas, his health has declined, and he's become so weak. Making the decision to let him go has been incredibly difficult, but I find some comfort knowing he'll meet his brothers over the rainbow bridge. As someone without children, my cats mean the world to me, and the void Aubrey leaves is going to be huge. I've got two other cats, girls called Smoky and Bo. I know they'll give me comfort when I feel lonely.

Many condolences on the loss of your sweet boy. I have two cats, one of them a ginger and we've had others before them so I understand the sense of loss. Every one of ours so far has been a huge character and when they go, it's like losing a part of ourselves.

So sorry to read this, but glad that you have had 14 happy years together. It is one of the most difficult things we have to do, but also often the kindest. Thinking of you and all furry friends who’ve crossed the bridge. 💔

So so sorry 🌈 🐾 what beautiful photos. My cat is also declining and at the moment we're keeping her comfortable but I know that decision is coming sooner rather than later. I can't even type this without crying.
Take comfort in those wonderful memories over the 14 years you've had together 🩷 know you're doing the kindest thing for him as painful as it is for you 🩷

Sorry to hear about your beautiful cat Aubrey.

I’m so sorry. Fourteen years goes by far too quickly when it comes to our lovely feline friends and companions.

Aubrey was very beautiful and I can just imagine what a friendly sweet-natured teddy bear of a cat he was.

It doesn’t lessen the grief, but letting him go without suffering was the last gift you could give him. I hope knowing that, together with your happy memories, will be a comfort in the days to come.

Take care.

My heart goes out to you Auntielauralala 💔 such a hard decision to make and even seeing them in decline just breaks your heart. We said goodbye to our beautiful ginger boy last night, his health went into decline around Christmas time and this week I knew it was time for him to go to rest 🥲 he was only with us 4 years but he was our absolute prince so after 14 years he has been your life companion ❤️ best wishes

Oh what a handsome boy! I said goodbye to my best boy on Tuesday so I know how you feel and I’m thinking of you x

So sorry to read this, as pet owners it's the hardest decision, but as a wise lady once said to me "better let them go a day early than 5 minutes late."

Looks like he had an amazing life with you. Safe journey to the bridge Aubrey 🐈 🌈 🐾
