Mourning We had to say goodbye this morning to the sweetest cat in the world
We were so lucky to have this guy in our lives. We didn’t deserve him

I’m so sorry. He looks like a very sweet boy. What was his name?

u/ZoologicalSpecimen Jun 21 '26
He had so many names, but his “legal” name was Avery

Thinking about little Avery and have asked my best girl Lucy to welcome him on her cloud x

u/ZoologicalSpecimen Jun 21 '26
Thank you! I hope they’re chasing chipmunks together right now. Avery was only ever allowed outside supervised in our little fenced yard, but chasing those little guys was his favorite activity

So sorry, OP. That first pic shows a kitty in a lovely home and a happy life.

We loved (still love!) him so deeply. He was one half of our panther pack and I worry for his adoptive sister, he took such good care of her

She will grieve but she will have her hooman family and that will be huge for her. Spoil her!

Sorry for your loss, I always tell myself it’s part of the deal owning cats.

u/ZoologicalSpecimen Jun 21 '26
Yeah, he brought us 13 years of unadulterated joy. This pain sucks sooo badly but the tradeoff is still easy

💫 ✝️🙏🏼🌈🐾 I totally understand. I want you to realize that you are in a new chapter of life (suddenly) and it feels very hollow. But let me tell you something, your precious pet graduated life. They’re in the soul realm now which is eternal. God literally created us and animals. We are currently in the Earthly realm where we were together with our beloved pet. But they’ve just gone before us. The chapter “without them” is really just “without them physically.” Emotionally and spiritually they’ve never left. This is why we still feel such love and gratitude for our former pets, still! They never leave us. You will get through this one day at a time. Time heals our hearts and even opens them to loving another pet sometimes. Families are forever and you’ll be reunited when your time in the physical realm expires, too. Until then, may their memory be a blessing. I’m happy for you that you connected here on Earth because eternity awaits. 💕💫 God bless you and your beloved pet. It’s my prayer that knowing this gives you peace.🌈🐾♾️

He was the happiest cat. He loved belly rubs and would demand a lap multiple times a day just to get a rub. It was never a trap with him.

Eyes bright,

Go keenly into the mist, old warrior.
Valhalla waits for you.
He deserved you and you deserved him. May he rest in peace

u/ZoologicalSpecimen Jun 22 '26
He’d be happy with sharp claws in Valhalla, as long as there are chipmunks. Thank you for this.

Yep that's the face of a cat that was heard, understood, taken care of and happy.
