My void is dying and I’m sad

[u/jmcianos]

Just that. She’s fifteen, has cancer, I’ve had her for thirteen years and I’m devastated. I wanted to share her with everyone, as she’s brought me so much joy and I’m going to miss her terribly. I started palliative care this week, and she just took a turn for the worse. Her name is Mortimer. It’s cheesy, but she’s my best friend.

It’s a few year old, but that’s my favorite picture of her.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Mortimer looks precious and you are lucky to have each other.

In case you want something to create ambiance, there is a beautiful album (available on all streaming services) called Music for Cats Album One. Lovingly made by a man who figured out what kinds of sounds set cats at ease. It sounds beautiful to humans too. When my void Tanya was in her final days, I played it a lot and it brought us both some calming and comfort.

Sweet wishes in the days ahead 🖤
