I'm right there with you. Today I held my 16yo dog for the last time. 😭

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Here's our gray cat making our pup feel trapped.

I’m so sorry! My first cat had FCOV/FIV just as Covid happened in early 2020. His death really affected me but taught me a lot. I hugged him until the end. I know your pain.

Thanks for the reminder of impermanence and cherishing our family and pet family! I struggle with imagining my current pets’ future deaths.

I’ll add he is super cute! I can tell he was a very good boy :)

Since I saw someone else shared a cute photo I will too:

Sorry to hear about your boy, however short is our time with them, we do our best to make their life enjoyable and while it is painful, they do love us back. So remeber and cherish of all the good times you two had.

My about 8 year old girl (had her for 4), got diagnosed with an aggressive cancer last week. Nothing we can do but let her enjoy all the luxuries of her short remaining life. I am sure she knows she is cherished and had her best life with us.

I lost my 20-year-old best girl in October and still feel the hole in my heart so strongly, even though I adopted a sweet new kitty two months ago.

As someone else here on Lemmy said to me: may his sunspot never move and may he rest in play. <3

Beautiful boy. He was lucky to have known true love and have a forever home in you ❤️

I'm sorry for your loss. I'll give Bella some extra blankie time this evening.

I have a gray cat that looks a lot like him. He's my everything. He is so sweet, wants cuddles & purrs so loud. I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry ☹️ Adopted and cared for even after such a diagnosis. He was lucky to have had you.

Sorry for your loss. Rest in peace beautiful boy. 💕

To the downvoters of this post, I hope you get a really bad hangnail.

Sorry for your loss. Hopefully you can find peace in the fact he crossed the rainbow bridge knowing he was loved. Take care ❤️

What a hamsum boy.

Oh man, big ol cat hug squeezy incoming for my lil guy

I hope you're able to transition through the grieving process well, friend. It's never a bad moment to stop and take a real deep breath and feel the pain, it's going to come regardless and it's always better to accept it in these situations.

This is aweful. My condolences.

Gone too soon. So sorry for you loss.

Very sorry to hear this. I'm sure you gave him a wonderful life for the time he had with you.

=[

My girl is getting older, pushing 9, and I dread it everytime I think of her not being there.

He looked like a good boy. Sorry.

Sorry to hear that:(

We lost our sphynx very dramatically two weeks ago, and he was only 10 years old with no prior health issues, so I know how it feels.

You're not alone.

Me and my partner are still devastated and find ourselves sobbing uncontrollably every day.

It was like losing a child.

Life is on auto pilot these days.

I hope I'll see a good day again.

Thinking of you and sending comfort.

I'm so sorry 😭 he was such a pretty baby. I'm sure he had an amazing life with you 🫂🫂

Hugs

He is in a better place, hunting and cuddling in purrhalla

I'm so sorry for your loss :'(

I’m sorry you lost your boy.

I'm sorry. He's beautiful and looks so nice. It's such a hard thing.
