Mourning Having to say goodbye to this handsome fellow today :(
Five years ago we adopted two senior kitties. One void, Mr. Pickles, and a tuxedo. Today it’s time to say goodbye to Mr. Pickles :-( He will be greatly missed.

😿 thank you for loving and caring for a senior. Mr Pickles looks entirely huggable and I am sure, from his photos, you gave him a home he felt comfortable and loved in. Rip.

He is beautiful. I unfortunately know what you’re going through after having to make the same difficult decision 3 weeks ago. I hope Mr. Pickles makes friends with my sweet void Jethro in the afterlife. They can keep each other company until we get there.

So sorry about Mr. Pickles; it’s tough losing a pet 🥺 I lost my senior guy several weeks ago, and the age part doesn’t make it any easier. Your pictures confirm he couldn’t have felt more loved.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost our cat last month. It was sudden and she didn't have a last day at home. I'm glad (if that is even the right word) that you got to spend one more day with the good boy. Our condolences. Take care and do not hesitate to talk to this community. 💕

Oh what a beautiful boy. I am so sorry for you having to go through this awful pain. I hate having to decide when its one of my babies time. I'm not God. I don't want to decide when anyone dies. Its heartbreaking. Mr Pickles will always be around you and?someday you will be reunited. Goodbye Mr. Pickles its your turn to be a heavenly Angel instead of an earth one. I watched a lot of youtube videos especially this woman.
