I just got back inside from burying him. I put him in the yard near the deck so I'll always know where he is and I can visit him.

He was my best friend and the best cat you could ever ask for. Not a mean bone in his entire body. He never bit, scratched or growled. He was a cuddle bug right up until yesterday when he came and kneaded on me before bed last night.

We got him back in 2012 from a petsmart. Originally we planned on getting another cat but Wolfie won us over, he just looked so cute in his cage lying on his back. I remember the other cat jumping on him.

He loved butter and anything diary and would always pester me when I was having milk or cheese. Just 2 weeks ago he jumped up on the counter and took shredded cheese out of a bag.

He always had health problems. When he was young we had to have his teeth pulled due to infection. And his stomach had always bothered him. I wonder if that played a role in his death.

I was with him at the end giving him pets as I watched him take his final breaths.

I love you my little peanut head and hope to see you again someplace better when I pass on to.

I'm so sorry comrade. Your love for this beautiful creature was clearly so deep and I know he felt it. You gave him a full and wonderful life. I'm gonna miss seeing all the Mr. Softie pics he was such a cutie pie. I'm glad that his passing was relatively quick and that he got to do it alongside you getting as much comfort as you could give.

This kind of thing really sucks. Don't be afraid to lean on your communities, including and especially all of us. We're here for you.

it was clear how absolutely loved he was by the way you posted about him. losing a pet is horrific, please don't hesitate to rely on us to vent out the grief when you need it.

I'm so sorry for your loss, friend. I lost my cat in May and it still hurts like a bitch. What gives me some consolation is thinking that we spent a great 13 years together, and I was gladly able to give him all the love I could. Mr. Softie will be remembered, may he rest and I wish you all the best heart-sickle

I’m really glad you were able to be with him to the very last.

i'm so sorry for your loss comrade. this situation has got me thinking about my little kitty i had decades ago that i lost very suddenly. that shit still hurts so bad, part of what has kept me from getting a new pet for so long. my deepest condolences to you and if you need anything you know i'm a PM away.

Indeed he was very handsome

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

I've long adored the pictures you've posted and even the mentions of him in many of your comments. Your relationship with Wolfie/Mr. Softie has reminded me of my own relationship with my best friend in this world, and I always appreciated when you'd share little bits about it with us. So thank you for that, and thanks to Mr. Softie wherever he is. I'm so sorry he's gone and I'm sorry for how painful that is and will be. Take care of yourself, comrade.

Sorry to hear this. Take care. 😔

I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a special guy, and your bond with him comes through clearly in your writing. I know he passed on in the most comfortable manner possible with his best friend right there with him.

Again, I am sorry for your loss. meow-hug

very sad news, hit me a few times today, we can hope to give our pets the best life possible, I don't think he could have had a better caretaker until the end, if it has to happen then at least he knew you were there with him

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Ah fuck, I'm so sorry.
