Mourning Said goodbye to my familiar. 21 years of partnership.

I am lost for words. I wanted to tell him, I loved him so much. 21 years of birthdays, Christmas, sad events, happy ones. He was there for it all. I feel like I’ve lost a piece of myself, I can’t even believe it.

He had a horrible infection in his eye, was urinating blood and could barely walk. We had to put him to sleep, but it was so traumatizing. I can’t stop replaying it.

I love you my boy. I love you so much. I hope I see you again one day, I hope you’re in kitty heaven. Thank you so much for everything.

My first panther buddy saw 20 and has been gone almost 28 years. She still visits me in dreams a few times every year. I wake up sad, but then I am happy she came to see me.
