cats

I'm sorry to post again. I tried finding a "lastimages" lemmy but I couldn't.

Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am 16th of September 2024. I had him for 15 and a half beautiful years. We went for walks just about every day and he was the king of his block. Neighbors and friends come and go but my stinky man was always finding something to smell in the next bush. Even when the weather was against him, he could always sneak around and find something new stuck to grandma's shoes.

He loved nothing more than salmon, PINK salmon (none of that red or smoked nonsese), and so he ate pink salmon every day he could. His kibbles were never empty for long and the house just wasnt right if he didn't have at least 3 different glasses to drink from at any time. Though we bought him beds and blankets enough to supply a small army, he loved sleeping on news paper more than anything else. Something about inconveniencing the humans by weight of his sheer existence I'm sure.

We bothered him constantly his last two days, making him absolutely sick of us. We pet and loved him every moment of these last two days, and I held him sleeping on my chest for hours this morning. I don't think he could possibly have been more fed up with our emotional human nonsense if we'd tried. But I stayed with him every last second, and the last thing he could see when his eyes dilated was me.

I will never stop loving my boy.

Orion, 19/M, single When he was young he snuck into my engine bay (older wrangler with plenty of space), went all the way to work (1.5hr commute), waited all day (luckily in covered parking), and then popped out when I got home.

That's her absolute favorite toy, so it stays inside the cat condo on my dresser. Both kitties like to nap up there, but only Nini ever goes in to grab her mouse. And yes, the mouse is named Merlin lol.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to put my beautiful baby boy to rest on Monday. He's been getting very lethargic and lost his appetite. Spent 48 hours at the vet and he was treated for pancreatitis, kidney disease, and now we find heart failure. He's back home with all the meds he could need and he's comfortable.

He's my 17 year old very special boy. We've been extremely lucky with only 2 minor health issues that needed vet care and otherwise normal visits with clean bills of health. He's always been very strong (if very picky when it comes to eating) and he's been with me through the death of my mother and father.

Im honestly feeling pretty lost right now, but every time I look at him I can't help but feel it's time. He's got the best chance the vet can give him, but I still don't want to watch him suffer.

I really don't have much faith, but if you do, please pray for Bear.

Edit: Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am. It was extremely fast and he was so out of it he barely felt a thing. His suffering is over and so mine begins.

I gave her a little bit of our duck carpaccio.

He also picks fights with neighbour cats and dogs and loses every time, costing me a fortune in vet bills. I love him.

He's making a face

She'll stand there and scream until I get her food. 🙃

Ghost, The Boi, The Ankle Biter, The Crusher of Sleeping Toes, My Only Son, I love him

> old ones resurface

because i don't know how to cross-post. old toon I noticed somewhere

Love the blanket, don't love anything else right now!

We had to put him to sleep today due to cancer. He had quit eating and drinking so we had a vet come to the house to provide the service. He's resting in the back by the woods now. I'm really going to miss him.

He was perfect. He passed some time ago but he helped me raise my son.

This isn’t to mourn him but rather to remember a dope ass cat who I spent nearly 2 decades of my life with.

He was once attacked by a pit bull, and the pit bull ended up needing stitches. Ganon was fine.

He was perfect. His vet chart has those words written 3 separate times, including one situation where “his urine is a magnificent specimen, wow” was written.

Totally unrelated .. but do you know how hard it is to take a piss sample from a cat??

I ask all of you to recount your favorite made up story about ganon. Thanks friends.

my home instance is well stocked
