Lost my boy today (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I'm heartbroken. We found out he was FIV positive shortly after we got him, but that doesn't make the loss any easier. He was only 1.5 years old. Hold your cats close for me tonight.

Edit: I fell asleep, so I'm sorry that I didn't respond to everyone. I'm very thankful to everyone for the kind words and support.

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.
