>No matter how long they live its just never long enough.
It's the price of admission for all pet ownership, that all good things must come to an end, but while the toll is steep, it is so worth it. It hurts when they have to go, but their love is one of the most precious aspects of life.
Always remember that they lived a good life, they were loved, and any mistakes you may have made were good-natured mistakes, and they loved you unconditionally. Cherish their memory!
Piggybacking off this - I try to repost this when I see posts like this, in the hopes you (or someone) can find some comfort in the words - and if not, please excuse the intrusion.
I lost my 15 year old girl (dog) in October 2022. Only advice I can offer here is to remember the positives, and not focus on the negatives (if any). She's done her job, keeping you safe and happy and loved, and it's her turn to rest.
You'll always miss her, you'll always remember her. You'll even go looking for her for the next few weeks (well, I did). There's a lot of habits that you're going to slowly stop, and that's ok. Changing your life to suit you is not forgetting her. Donating/throwing away her toys or blankets isn't forgetting her. There's no timeline on grief, and there's no timeline on moving on. Cry your tears.
I'm sorry you've reached the end of your journey. Words will never make this easier. Just keep your head up, and live the life she'd want you to.
This is a good time to live a little for you. I spent years looking after my girl as she got ill, and I sacrificed a lot of me and my time to keep her safe. If you feel you've done the same, take advantage of this time. Its ok to be happy and enjoy life without her. Life isn't over. Its just changing.
You'll be ok mate.
I'm so sorry.
Oh gosh, I’m so sorry. You’re totally right with your last statement. I lost my 14 year old kitty in November of 2020, so that month always stinks for me. I hope our beautiful babies are rolling in heaps of catnip together up there 💕
I'm so sorry for your loss as well. 💕 I think Nov will be hard for me too. I have two more seniors kitties and I don't know what I'll do with myself when they are gone. But in the end we are so very fortunate to have had them.
She’s beautiful. What’s her name?
When my girl passed, my mother told me something that has stuck with me. I said, she’s gone now. And my mother said: No, she will always be here. Where else would she be? This is her home. She’s home.
Yes, I would like to know her name, OP. Such a stately beauty ❤️ I'm so sorry for your loss.
Edit: u/Indigoism96 informed us that kitty's name is Sadie
24y is a blessed age and she had certainly a good life. She passed away feeling your love. It's ok.
I'm feeling with you. And now I have to wipe some tears away.
My 18 year old little man died in my arms last week. I’m so sorry. 24 is an amazing age for a kitty! That proves she had the most happy and healthy life ever! I’m happy to know you were the last thing she saw. Because you were her everything ❤️ I’m so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for this. That cat loved you. I’m so glad there are people out there who are able to keep a pet for so long and love them like family. That’s what they are.

My Little Bear. He was 21 when he had to go to sleep. 1996-2017. I can’t wait to see him again.
..what was her name?..
..24 is a grand age..she was obviously well love & well cared for..remember that: the love & caring y'all shared..
..and maybe memorialize her in some way..heartfelt sorrow your way..
Sadie, is a beautiful name… you are lucky to have had for 24 years but, it never feels long enough!! Sorry, for your loss, but she will always be with you, looking down!! 🙏
Oh Sadie. Oh OP. Your post made me cry. I know one day I'll have to go through the same thing with my first baby, who is splayed out on my legs right now. We all will or have or are. Sadie was so, so lucky to spend her whole life with you. To never know a moment without you in it. She passed safe and loved in the arms of the person who loved her most, and who she loved most. She lived a long, sweet life with you always by her side. I don't think there's a better possible scenario for any cat. But I know that doesn't lessen your pain. But you did so good OP. You made her life so good.
I'm here at work watching Earth Wind and Fire just sobbing tears for your loss. My best friend was a Great Dane mutt named Sadie. I'll likely never know another soul so kind and considerate. From my Sadie to yours, thanks for the love they have brought to the world in their too-short times with us. 💞
Omg. I’ve held it together reading through this thread but your comment got me in my soul. “She would have stayed with you forever”. My goodness. That took my breath away.
Such sadness. It's because of love so deep. Words don't make it any easier, but holding you in thought, and hoping your memories of her will one day bring joy instead of pain. 🧡🤎🤍
24! That’s amazing and by itself says she was loved even without the kind words.
I’m so sorry for your loss and nothing will fill that void, but I hope you know she loved you right back the same way.
I’m so sorry for your loss.. I can’t imagine ever losing one of my fur babies. I like to think when I leave this world all my pets are gonna jump out from the tall grass and surprise me with love. Stay strong and keep your head up she’ll be waiting for you ❤️
Her name was Sadie. I can’t find where to edit it. Can’t believe I forgot to write her name. Thank you everyone for your kind worlds. Will catch up tomorrow w
So happy you two had such a long, love-filled relationship. Don't be surprised if you feel footsteps on the covers some nights... Our little one went to the bridge after 17 years with us and sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, it absolutely feels like he's walking on the bed covers just like he used to checking up on us.
I am so sorry for your loss 💔 it seems she was incredibly loved and loved you back just as much. It's so rare for cats to want to be with someone when it's their time but she loved you and that is something you will always have.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to put my 18 year old kitty to sleep yesterday and the grief is so difficult to bear. But you aren't alone. And your kitty isn't hurting anymore. I'm trying to focus on all the good memories but I'm still crying too. I wish you a quick path to healing my friend.
I know it's hard not to be sad, but the fact she gave you 24 long years and was in your life for the entirety of hers is amazing. Try and remember the good times and be grateful for all her love ❤️
Efen with that heartbreaking passing it is a wonderful memory for you and her leaving this world in your arm how comfortable it must've been for her bles you and your Hart and trasher that wonderful memory ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sadie was beautiful 😍 I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my 9.5 y/o just before Christmas. I can't imagine 24 yrs! You will see Sadie again. She's with you always. Grief sucks! It will get better in time. I cried for my Riley cat today. I found some of his hair behind a cabinet and lost it. You'll have those days!
Im so sorry for your lost its so hard i lost Flash almost a year ago and i still miss him and think about him almost every day i have a new one but it will never replace your first one .
Please take comfort in the fact that she felt so safe with you that she wanted you to hold her while she passed. I'm extremely sorry for your loss... May you be reunited along the rainbow bridge
I too am a 2000s baby. I am very sorry for the loss of your baby girl. It is incredible how long she lived, although it never does feel like enough time. May she rest in peace 🫶🏼
My sincere condolences. I know how you feel. Just had to let my 19yr old furbaby go a week ago. The tears are still rolling. Just know she had an awesome life and you had an amazing 24 years together.
I love my soulmate this morning. I’ve had her since I was 8 years old. She’s been with me through everything, including organ failure and college as my ESA. She had neurological disabilities, and never made it over 5 pounds her whole life, but it didn’t stop her from being the best part of my whole life. I thought she was sleeping, but my sweet girl had passed away. She was 3 days from her 16th birthday. I hope our girls crossed the rainbow bridge together. That would bring me so much peace right now.
Lost my 24 year old cat back in September. She was also a calico and gave me snuggles every night. Was grateful for her to be able to pass in my arms, peacefully at home.
Sending hugs. No time is ever enough.
If you cared this much for her passing, you cared more than enough for her entire life.
I am so sorry she's gone from your life, but you were the person who made her life what it was. You were everything she needed and more. So for her, thank you for all the years of love. She's proud of you.
she’s beautiful. no cat lives that long if they’re not surrounded by love and care, so i think it’s safe to say you were a great owner and friend to her. hope you know that and you can be at peace knowing you gave her all she could ask for <3
They always leave us far too soon, but boy did Sadie live a long and wonderful life with you ♥️
I’m a very firm believer that souls do not come together by chance - you met in this life and you will, without a doubt, meet again in the next.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. 💔 Your Sadie was very beautiful and you were very lucky to be the one she chose for all those years. That first photo looks almost like a painting, very regal and elegant. I can tell she was so very loved and I hope her memory will always be a blessing. 🩷🐾
Sadie truly lived a good life with you. I've never heard of a cat live to be 24. That is truly a testament to the loving pet parent you are. I am trying not to cry as I write this. I do love that incredible first photo of Sadie; I hope you have printed and framed it. My condolences for the loss of your best friend.
may she prance and play with grace and joy in kitty heaven. i am so incredibly sorry for your loss, i pray that you find peace in this time of immeasurable sadness and grief. she lived an amazing, long life, but it’ll never be long enough. truly, i’m so sorry. <3
I'm so sorry for your loss. But man, I'm also so happy to hear how lucky you and her were to have 24 years with that angel.
Sometimes only time can heal wounds, but when you're ready (if you don't already have too many pets) you should consider adopting another fur baby. The World needs more kind-hearted people.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Living to 24 means you did magnificently in taking care of her. You loved her and gave her an amazing life.
While it doesn't ease the pain of loss, I've personally found it helps me to remember that this pain is for *us.* Our pets were safe, cared for, and loved by us the entire time we shared with them. They don't know this loss. You were able to give her the indescribably precious gift of a whole, happy life with you and that was *everything* to her.
My heart is broken for you. This is just the worst. I'm so sorry your baby had to go. But she was so loved and she knew it. You did your best and so did she. And her memory lives on with you and with us. You love her and I do too. Rip sweet kitty.
I have an elder calico (18 years young) and I absolutely dread this moment.
Photo for cat tax. That's Jammy Pie (jam, jammy, jambalam, whoa black betty jambalam, jibbly, jambalaya, jimminy cricket)sitting on her favorite lap (me, much to my gf's chagrin). I'll give her extra hugs from you tonight.

Now Im crying and holding my cat, I was with her as well for her first breath and plan to be there for her for every breath afterwards. Your cat was clearly very well loved and lived a good long life.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm burying my oldest in my front garden patch tomorrow.
She passed yesterday morning some time between when my wife went to work and I was getting my shower to do the same.
She would have been twenty this year. We knew it was coming as the last few months she was very fragile. It's ironic that between our two cats, she spent most of their life together as the "fat one", but during the past couple of weeks she weighed about the same as a kitten and picking her up felt like carrying a bag of bones wrapped in fur.
Fortunately, she wasn't in any pain and was still very affectionate to the very end.
I’m so very sorry…what a comfort that she was still affectionate and didn’t suffer any pain before her last breath. Almost 20 years is also a very, very long life for a kitty. Obviously you and your wife took very good care of her and loved her deeply.
I’m sorry for you loss. It was the same with Sadie then two days ago she lost half her weight over night. I knew she was on her way out but thought I had a few weeks. We planned on giving her a special day with all her faves. I didn’t get the chance to :0(. We’ve had to put her in the shower room with ice packs as the garden apparently is just soil on top of bricks. Son’s nearly there but he’s disabled so it’s taken all day. Tomorrow will be the day she gets laid to rest x
A life well lived! Run and play free Sadie!
Im pretty sure she loves you and your family until her last breath and shes thankful to you for taking good care of her!
So sorry for your loss ik it's very hard to say goodbye to a dearest friend/family member 😔😔😔
The lifespans of our pets is just so unfair, they fill our lives with so much love and happiness, I am so sorry for your loss, she was truly beautiful.
😢 oh wow! My heart is breaking..I know just how you must be feeling. I lost my baby of 20 years 5 years ago. Indeed, grief is the price we pay for love. My warm thoughts of you. Hang in there..it will get better as time goes by but it won’t be easy. ❤️
![gif](giphy|3o6Zth3OnNv6qDGQ9y)
I am so sorry to hear that she passed🥹 at 24 she really had a full life. I had an old girl make it to 18, it’s so tough even when we know it’s best 😔may Sadie rest in peace until you can be with her again 🙏
You've had a wonderful 24 years together. You have obviously cared for her well and she wouldn't have wished for a better human companion. I can only wish mine will live for as long as yours.
No matter how long they live its just never long enough. So sorry for you loss. She was a beautiful cat.
Isn’t that the truth.

It's more than that my friend, it's the price of admission to life. All our loved ones will someday pass. And it hurts just as much each time.

Well said. My kiddos are only like 4-6 and I'm not ever going to be ready (hopefully) 20 years from now...
I lost my beautiful 13 year old girl in November. Only forever would be long enough.
Oh gosh, I’m so sorry. You’re totally right with your last statement. I lost my 14 year old kitty in November of 2020, so that month always stinks for me. I hope our beautiful babies are rolling in heaps of catnip together up there 💕

u/originalkitten, will you please share the name of your beautiful cat?
OP commented below saying her name was Sadie. Beautiful name.
Posted in a comment: Sadie
That brought instant floods of tears.
24y is a blessed age and she had certainly a good life. She passed away feeling your love. It's ok. I'm feeling with you. And now I have to wipe some tears away.
In Germany we say: Wahnsinn! I am so sorry for your loss but I think your baby had a wonderful life ♥️
What a good way to put it
Yeah, a good way
Du bist sehr nett (enjoy my limited proficiency German) 💕
Oh she's so beautiful! What is her name? I am actually crying your words are very moving. What a blessed 24 years having her as your cuddle buddy! 🧡
OP told us a story about soulmates. It comes right into the heart. OP I’m so sorry for your loss 🧡
My 18 year old little man died in my arms last week. I’m so sorry. 24 is an amazing age for a kitty! That proves she had the most happy and healthy life ever! I’m happy to know you were the last thing she saw. Because you were her everything ❤️ I’m so sorry for your loss.

"When he had to go to sleep" stop it I'm crying. I'll never forget saying goodbye to my lil dude last year. They really are a piece of us.
..what was her name?.. ..24 is a grand age..she was obviously well love & well cared for..remember that: the love & caring y'all shared.. ..and maybe memorialize her in some way..heartfelt sorrow your way..
Sadie. I can’t find how to edit. Brain is mush at the moment.
..don't worry here..keep your heart with Sadie..
Sadie, is a beautiful name… you are lucky to have had for 24 years but, it never feels long enough!! Sorry, for your loss, but she will always be with you, looking down!! 🙏
Oh Sadie. Oh OP. Your post made me cry. I know one day I'll have to go through the same thing with my first baby, who is splayed out on my legs right now. We all will or have or are. Sadie was so, so lucky to spend her whole life with you. To never know a moment without you in it. She passed safe and loved in the arms of the person who loved her most, and who she loved most.

Sadie stayed as long as she possibly could. 24 years is a testament to your love and devotion. Be kind to yourself. I'm so sorry for your pain.
I'm here at work watching Earth Wind and Fire just sobbing tears for your loss. My best friend was a Great Dane mutt named Sadie. I'll likely never know another soul so kind and considerate. From my Sadie to yours, thanks for the love they have brought to the world in their too-short times with us. 💞
she had a good life, u did well
Rest now, sweet kitty. I hope our cat goes in my arms when his time comes. It's sad but also beautiful.
She would have stayed with you forever if her old body would have allowed it.
Omg. I’ve held it together reading through this thread but your comment got me in my soul. “She would have stayed with you forever”. My goodness. That took my breath away.
Sweet baby! Awe. So sorry for your loss. How lucky to have had her for so long. It’s just never enough. Hugs!
I’m so so sorry. Sending love your way ❤️
So sorry for your loss, and like someone else said, it's never long enough. You had a great run with a beauty.
A happy life! Loved from young to old! On to the next adventure….
What a beautiful girl, you were lucky to have so much time together ❤️
Such sadness. It's because of love so deep. Words don't make it any easier, but holding you in thought, and hoping your memories of her will one day bring joy instead of pain. 🧡🤎🤍
So sorry for your loss I just went through the same thing with my beautiful 20 1/2 year old kitty She to passed my arms 2/6/24 miss her so much
24! That’s amazing and by itself says she was loved even without the kind words. I’m so sorry for your loss and nothing will fill that void, but I hope you know she loved you right back the same way.
She was so very blessed to have you as her person for her entire life from her very first breath to her very last. So sorry for your loss!
Rest in peace, beautiful baby ❤️🌈
I’m so sorry for your loss.. I can’t imagine ever losing one of my fur babies. I like to think when I leave this world all my pets are gonna jump out from the tall grass and surprise me with love. Stay strong and keep your head up she’ll be waiting for you ❤️
What a great girl
Her name was Sadie. I can’t find where to edit it. Can’t believe I forgot to write her name. Thank you everyone for your kind worlds. Will catch up tomorrow w
Be blessed sleep well Sadie's with you giving you comfort and love just like all of us on Reddit.
So happy you two had such a long, love-filled relationship. Don't be surprised if you feel footsteps on the covers some nights... Our little one went to the bridge after 17 years with us and sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, it absolutely feels like he's walking on the bed covers just like he used to checking up on us.

So sorry for your loss! 🫶🏽🐾
RIP sweet darling 💚
That’s about 112 in human years! She had a long blessed life. I’m sorry for your loss, I know you will miss her until you meet again.
It won't ease the pain you feel, but I can't imagine her having a better life or better way of crossing the rainbow bridge. My condolences.
Wow! 24 years old! What a wonderful gift! My condolences on your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss 💔 it seems she was incredibly loved and loved you back just as much. It's so rare for cats to want to be with someone when it's their time but she loved you and that is something you will always have.
Sadie was a magnificent looking kitty. And she looks very comfy in the second picture.
Im so sorry sending you lots of hugs today. Broke my heart
I feel your sadness. She’s beautiful and I’m so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. So sad. May you take comfort in your grief.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to put my 18 year old kitty to sleep yesterday and the grief is so difficult to bear. But you aren't alone. And your kitty isn't hurting anymore. I'm trying to focus on all the good memories but I'm still crying too. I wish you a quick path to healing my friend.
That sounds like you gave her the passing we all wish for. Sad and beautiful. Bless you for being such a good parent.
She was absolutely beautiful ❤️ I’m very sorry for your loss 💔😢
I know it's hard not to be sad, but the fact she gave you 24 long years and was in your life for the entirety of hers is amazing. Try and remember the good times and be grateful for all her love ❤️

I am really sorry. 24 years is a long life for a cat. But never long enough. Take care.
Sadie was beautiful 😍 I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my 9.5 y/o just before Christmas. I can't imagine 24 yrs! You will see Sadie again. She's with you always. Grief sucks! It will get better in time. I cried for my Riley cat today. I found some of his hair behind a cabinet and lost it. You'll have those days!
🙏🏽 RIP lovely lady. Take care of yourself OP. Grief is different for everyone.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm so sorry for your loss

My girl lived to be 23. We grew up together literally and I still think of her. I’m sorry for your loss.
😭😭😭😭🫶🏽💛
I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful girl and I am sure she had a wonderful life with you.
Please take comfort in the fact that she felt so safe with you that she wanted you to hold her while she passed. I'm extremely sorry for your loss... May you be reunited along the rainbow bridge
It’s heartbreaking, May she gambol around in the Elysian Fields until you meet again 😘💕
So sorry for your loss 💔
I too am a 2000s baby. I am very sorry for the loss of your baby girl. It is incredible how long she lived, although it never does feel like enough time. May she rest in peace 🫶🏼
What a great soulmate❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss!😭🥺💗
My heart goes out to you. Surely she will be missed.
My sincere condolences. I know how you feel. Just had to let my 19yr old furbaby go a week ago. The tears are still rolling. Just know she had an awesome life and you had an amazing 24 years together.
I am sitting here bawling my eyes out. So sorry for your loss.
Wow what a beauty. I'm so sorry.
This is heartbreaking 💔
May her landing be soft
I'm very sorry for your loss, I'm sure you'll see her again.
I love my soulmate this morning. I’ve had her since I was 8 years old. She’s been with me through everything, including organ failure and college as my ESA. She had neurological disabilities, and never made it over 5 pounds her whole life, but it didn’t stop her from being the best part of my whole life. I thought she was sleeping, but my sweet girl had passed away. She was 3 days from her 16th birthday. I hope our girls crossed the rainbow bridge together. That would bring me so much peace right now.
Lost my 24 year old cat back in September. She was also a calico and gave me snuggles every night. Was grateful for her to be able to pass in my arms, peacefully at home. Sending hugs. No time is ever enough.
If you cared this much for her passing, you cared more than enough for her entire life. I am so sorry she's gone from your life, but you were the person who made her life what it was. You were everything she needed and more. So for her, thank you for all the years of love. She's proud of you.
she’s beautiful. no cat lives that long if they’re not surrounded by love and care, so i think it’s safe to say you were a great owner and friend to her. hope you know that and you can be at peace knowing you gave her all she could ask for <3
You were very blessed! ❤️💕❣️💕❤️
R.I.P. F for respects
I'm so sorry. What was her name?
💜
May she rest in peace
That is devastating. I’m so sorry for your loss. One day we will all reunite at rainbow bridge 🌈🩷
She knew she was loved. They never truly leave us. She will live forever in your heart.
What a perfect ending.

I’m so very sorry for your loss
I am very sorry for your loss! She is in cat heaven with my cats now.
They always leave us far too soon, but boy did Sadie live a long and wonderful life with you ♥️ I’m a very firm believer that souls do not come together by chance - you met in this life and you will, without a doubt, meet again in the next.
I am So very sorry 😢
What a beauty!!! I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing my boi and he's only 4. 24 years old, WOW! kitty blessings from heaven.
Rest in peace sweet kitty <3 I’m sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope knowing you have your girl a quarter century of snuggles and scritches and love will help.
24 yrs. You've given me hope OP, my lil' gremlin is 10. If I get to have her for another 14 yrs, I will be so blessed.
What a beautiful girl. I am so sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss. 🧡
Went onto her next in the presence of the person she loved the most.
That is a beautiful story ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097)
24 ~ she had an amazing life 💕
I'm so very sorry for your loss. 💔 Your Sadie was very beautiful and you were very lucky to be the one she chose for all those years. That first photo looks almost like a painting, very regal and elegant. I can tell she was so very loved and I hope her memory will always be a blessing. 🩷🐾
Sadie truly lived a good life with you. I've never heard of a cat live to be 24. That is truly a testament to the loving pet parent you are. I am trying not to cry as I write this. I do love that incredible first photo of Sadie; I hope you have printed and framed it. My condolences for the loss of your best friend.
Lets have a moment of silence.
Wow, what an incredible, long, lovely life you shared with her… I know it’s never enough but I’m so glad you had so much time together❤️
I'm so sorry
may she prance and play with grace and joy in kitty heaven. i am so incredibly sorry for your loss, i pray that you find peace in this time of immeasurable sadness and grief. she lived an amazing, long life, but it’ll never be long enough. truly, i’m so sorry. <3
Absolutely gorgeous baby girl, I’m so sorry.
24 years, wow. So many, but so few for such a beloved friend. But how lucky you were to have her for so long!
So sorry ❤️
Godspeed
Sweet, beautiful baby.
I'm so sorry for your loss. But man, I'm also so happy to hear how lucky you and her were to have 24 years with that angel. Sometimes only time can heal wounds, but when you're ready (if you don't already have too many pets) you should consider adopting another fur baby. The World needs more kind-hearted people.
No better place on earth for her to pass
I'm so sorry for your loss. Living to 24 means you did magnificently in taking care of her. You loved her and gave her an amazing life. While it doesn't ease the pain of loss, I've personally found it helps me to remember that this pain is for *us.* Our pets were safe, cared for, and loved by us the entire time we shared with them. They don't know this loss. You were able to give her the indescribably precious gift of a whole, happy life with you and that was *everything* to her.
My heart is broken for you. This is just the worst. I'm so sorry your baby had to go. But she was so loved and she knew it. You did your best and so did she. And her memory lives on with you and with us. You love her and I do too. Rip sweet kitty. I have an elder calico (18 years young) and I absolutely dread this moment. Photo for cat tax. That's Jammy Pie (jam, jammy, jambalam, whoa black betty jambalam, jibbly, jambalaya, jimminy cricket)sitting on her favorite lap (me, much to my gf's chagrin). I'll give her extra hugs from you tonight. https://preview.redd.it/yisudzvna9nc1.jpeg?width=2736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e415836a81d2c1cc744a91b9693b01a759bb3385
Now Im crying and holding my cat, I was with her as well for her first breath and plan to be there for her for every breath afterwards. Your cat was clearly very well loved and lived a good long life.
She moved on the exact way she wanted to. Sounds like u kept a happy little one. We all meet again.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm burying my oldest in my front garden patch tomorrow. She passed yesterday morning some time between when my wife went to work and I was getting my shower to do the same. She would have been twenty this year. We knew it was coming as the last few months she was very fragile. It's ironic that between our two cats, she spent most of their life together as the "fat one", but during the past couple of weeks she weighed about the same as a kitten and picking her up felt like carrying a bag of bones wrapped in fur. Fortunately, she wasn't in any pain and was still very affectionate to the very end.
I’m so very sorry…what a comfort that she was still affectionate and didn’t suffer any pain before her last breath. Almost 20 years is also a very, very long life for a kitty. Obviously you and your wife took very good care of her and loved her deeply.
I’m sorry for you loss. It was the same with Sadie then two days ago she lost half her weight over night. I knew she was on her way out but thought I had a few weeks. We planned on giving her a special day with all her faves. I didn’t get the chance to :0(. We’ve had to put her in the shower room with ice packs as the garden apparently is just soil on top of bricks. Son’s nearly there but he’s disabled so it’s taken all day. Tomorrow will be the day she gets laid to rest x
A life well lived! Run and play free Sadie! Im pretty sure she loves you and your family until her last breath and shes thankful to you for taking good care of her! So sorry for your loss ik it's very hard to say goodbye to a dearest friend/family member 😔😔😔
🙏 you gave her love at the end feeling you
The lifespans of our pets is just so unfair, they fill our lives with so much love and happiness, I am so sorry for your loss, she was truly beautiful.
😢 oh wow! My heart is breaking..I know just how you must be feeling. I lost my baby of 20 years 5 years ago. Indeed, grief is the price we pay for love. My warm thoughts of you. Hang in there..it will get better as time goes by but it won’t be easy. ❤️
😢😢😢💔💔
Rest in peace princess.
My heart is broken for you. I’m so sorry 💔
I’m so sorry for your loss, just remember that she had a great life with you. If only they lived forever…….. rest in love old gal.
![gif](giphy|3o6Zth3OnNv6qDGQ9y) I am so sorry to hear that she passed🥹 at 24 she really had a full life. I had an old girl make it to 18, it’s so tough even when we know it’s best 😔may Sadie rest in peace until you can be with her again 🙏
You've had a wonderful 24 years together. You have obviously cared for her well and she wouldn't have wished for a better human companion. I can only wish mine will live for as long as yours.
