Mourning Kitty was rescued over 14 years ago, and from the day I met him, he demanded I bathe him. He crossed over yesterday and I miss him so much ππ€

I'm high and I'm sorry if this appears inappropriate to say but I can't decide whether the slightly sad eyes of the 2nd pic are looking through the lens of the camera in that moment to witness your sadness in this moment, or I am merely being slightly infected by your grief at having lost a loved one, having also done. It'll never quite be the same

u/Disastrous_Task2344 Dec 10 '24
I appreciate you sharing, and assure you it is not inappropriate at all. Kitty was fondly referred to as The Oracle in our household, because he had such soulful eyes. He always looked so deep in thought (and slightly sad at times π), so Iβm glad youβre able to see that. πββ¬π€ππ

Iβm so sorry. He was a handsome boy. Thank you for loving and caring for him. The positive he crossed over the rainbow bridge KNOWING he was a very loved boy. Sadly too many donβt have that. Hugs.

u/Disastrous_Task2344 Dec 10 '24
Thank you for this. I will be doing more to help other kitties in need in his honor. I wish I could rescue and love them all π€

u/Truthseeker-001 Dec 10 '24
I have NO doubt you will. Your post showed me you are a good human. I feel so many will benefit from your kind heart, compassion and love. I wish you nothing but the absolute best. Take Care. ππΌβ€οΈπ€

u/MooneyOne Dec 10 '24
Aww, Iβm sorry. I hope to get at least one bath in with either of my cats, but that seems extremely unlikely at 5 and 7yo. What a unique little guy.

u/Disastrous_Task2344 Dec 10 '24
Aww, maybe one day they will randomly decide to join you! My calico started expressing interest lately, seemingly out of the blue! Perhaps she finally realized itβs a great way to get more attention.

A cat who liked baths? That one was very special! My condolences.

He had his very own washcloths, and would patiently await his turn. Truly special πββ¬ As a tiny baby, he would jump in, lol

Aw
You reckon you'll get another one?
When mine passed I didn't think I could take the heartbreak again. Then covid hit and a neighbour was trying to get rid of kittens. So now I have good boy 2, who also rocks a bowtie. I've also discovered that half my street feeds him because of the cute tie! He's a little prostitiute :p1
u/Disastrous_Task2344 Dec 10 '24
Haha awww, you have a smart one!! I have two other senior kitties at home, but will definitely keep my heart open π₯Ήπ€πββ¬ I always say that I want to be a billionaire (the oddity that didnβt exploit the masses) JUST for the sole purpose of having the means to save them all. I would have dozens if i had the means.

Our fur friends always go too soon. When they're gone, they leave a grief-lined hole. May your grief soon be filled by fond memories of the time you were together β€οΈ

u/ShadowPirate114 Dec 11 '24
So sorry for your loss. There's just no getting over this one.
I can't say it gets any easier because I still miss my boy so horribly, but what I found really healing was just to write down everything we had and my feelings. It forced me to address my grief, and hopefully, at some point soon, I'll be able to remember all the past shenanigans with a smile rather than just pain.
You can look at my profile and see what I wrote. It really did help.
Wishing you all the best and I hope you can feel comfort that you were there for your little guy, his entire life.

These post rip my heart put every time . I am void addicted . Every time one passes I adopt another one . I will have a void til,the day Iβm gone . Each has a special place in my heart and each has been different . Every one Iβve had has been the sweetest of my cats . Moms arenβt supposed to have favorites , but I canβt help it . Iβve always gravitated to the underdog , and because people are still superstitious they donβt get adopted as frequently . Therefore they are the first thing I look for . Iβm sorry for your loss . As soon as you feel up to it go rescue a πββ¬ .

u/Disastrous_Task2344 Dec 12 '24
They are definitely the sweetest, and I have the same sentiments about favourites πππππ Iβve had a total of three black kitties for the same reason you chose them, and would probably only choose black cats. They just have so much love to offer and are still so often overlooked π€πββ¬πΎ
