He’s getting a fancy fish dinner later 🐟

i walked into our kitchen the other day and was greeted by this!! our sweet girl passed away almost two years ago and despite having her for 15 years, she never went into the kitchen (she was scared to go in there for some reason lol)... let alone on our counter.

i still can't wrap my head around how her claw got there, but it made me feel content knowing that she's still around 💕

Domino is v concerned that someone might turn on the majestical water fountain (sink) when he’s not around to enjoy it so he always accompanies hoomans to the bathroom at Chez Quatre 🤣🧼

Descartes was the first cat I ever adopted on my own when I moved out in 2013. He was 6 months old when he came into my life. I knew he was the cat for me when I picked him up and he let me cradle him like a baby. Until he passed, he loved being cradled like a baby.

This morning he didn’t react to getting his favorite thing in the world - wet food. He would usually go wild whenever I opened a can. Then, I noticed his breathing looked labored. Lastly, he wouldn’t let me hold him which was very unusual.

Luckily, his vet was able to get us in within a few hours. She instantly noticed he was having trouble breathing. She couldn’t find his heartbeat which she said could mean a mass or fluid in his chest cavity. Given his symptoms, the prognosis didn’t look good. She told me all of the tests needed to confirm his condition then the possible treatments. She was honest that none of it would make him feel better instantly. He was 12 he didn’t deserve to go through all of that. I knew the right decision for him was to say goodbye.

The hardest part was I was all alone. My husband is out of state. I had to ask the vet for a hug. This was the second pet she has been apart of this process and I had no one else to console me.

We have other cats, but my husband and I have never had a black cat. He is 6 months old and we named him Sauron 🖤
