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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

      Thank you. I see a lot of similarities between your cat and ours. I hope you have many* more years with yours.

    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’m sorry to hear. Do what you can for her, and try to make her remaining time with you memorable and comfortable.
