He was perfect. He passed some time ago but he helped me raise my son.

This isn’t to mourn him but rather to remember a dope ass cat who I spent nearly 2 decades of my life with.

He was once attacked by a pit bull, and the pit bull ended up needing stitches. Ganon was fine.

He was perfect. His vet chart has those words written 3 separate times, including one situation where “his urine is a magnificent specimen, wow” was written.

Totally unrelated .. but do you know how hard it is to take a piss sample from a cat??

I ask all of you to recount your favorite made up story about ganon. Thanks friends.

He used to hide under an old chair, my in laws gave us, waiting for my son (toddler at the time) to go to bed so he could come out.

At bedtime he’d come out because he loved the blankets being tossed around when we tucked my son in, he earned the nickname “the tucken monster” because he’d go fucking nuts attacking sheets and blankets.

After my son was in bed he’d join him to make sure no monsters came.

When I’d go to bed ganon would come and make sure no monsters got me.

He isn’t the best cat I’ve ever had, there is no top 5 or top 3 or top 2.

Ganon was one of the cats I’ve ever had, I’m now 3 cats old. They were all the best, they were all perfect.

My god you need to write a short story about this cat. Amazing and thanks for sharing.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Indeed perfect, what a boy.

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Gah, stupid ninjas cutting onions.

[-] Daveyborn@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Rest in peace, great fluffy void.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 17 points 2 years ago

Once I got upset and yelled at my kid. Ganon jumped up from his nap across the room, leapt up on me where I was sitting on the couch, and bit me gently on the earlobe.

This isn't actually a made-up story. The kid was my little sister, the parent was my mother, and the cat was Ebony, a black shorthair. But I thought it would be appropriate.

Ganon once helped me do my taxes and got me a much better return than the prior year!

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 years ago

You know he jumped off the Empire State Building this one time and he only sprained his ankle.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

Correction, he sprained the buildings ankle

Not many people know this but Ganon saved my life. This was back in the early 2010s. I was strolling around my neighborhood and I was attacked by a Russian gangster, a feral plumber and 2 to 3 high strung nuns. Just when I thought it was over Ganon comes sprinting over out of no where, he claws one of the nuns right across the eye and fully exposed the plumbers crack(thus depleting his plumber powers). They all immediately fled. Ganon meowed at me and then used his paws to spell out his name and give me this lore before returning home.

Super cute cat, I'm glad to have known him.

Have a great day stranger 👈😎

His powers of time manipulation and psychic control are indeed legend. With seeming little effort (probably napping), he reached through the void of time and space to appear on my little screen and save me from feeling crappy tonight.

Thank you Ganon!

[-] Kaiyoto@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

He's beautiful! Reminds me of the black cat I had.

[-] Lauchs@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Once he turned me into a newt! . . . . . I got better.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

… I knew I shoulda tried building a bridge out of him

[-] zorflieg@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I heard the calming effect of Ganon imagery saved Xmas last year.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

it’s actually scientifically impossible to disprove this

He grew from a small shrub to a mighty cat

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

It was a good harvest that year

[-] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

I applaud you for taking a pee sample.

We had a vet once offer one "just to be super safe" and explained that there's a special litter in the bag to make it easy. Then she charged us for it. And then she showed us the bag with basically a handful of litter that'd be barely enough to cover the bottom of the litter bin. It was then we learned to ask more questions upfront.

We never got the sample.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

The pee sample came accidentally 3 months later.

I dropped it off at the vet and the called confused af because it had been so long.

So that was fun.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Spending 2 decades with a dope-ass cat is the fuckin dream. Doing life right.

I remember one time at a hotel, some guy was listening to his cell phone really loudly in the continental breakfast area and Ganon hopped up on his table and knocked over his cereal onto his lap.

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Amazing little furr. Hang in there, partner.

[-] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

He saved my first and third marriages...

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Kinda a dick for breaking up your second one though, but Ganon giveth and taketh

[-] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was upset at first, but he was right in the long run.

What the French say about love is true... "omlette du fromage"

And now the catchy tune is in my head again.

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I went up from the Jordan unto Bethel. And as I was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked me and said unto me, “Go up, thou bald head! Go up, thou bald head!” And I turned back and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth Ganon out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

So does your son have a little yellow triangle birthmark on his hand?

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

No but I 100% tried to name him Link and got overruled.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

And now he is called Agahnim?

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Ganon is dope and I enjoy the pic of him sitting in the flower pot.

A story from Ganons past that you might not know. He was born to a tribe that normally only birth the female gender. Ganon was born and they all new he was their chosen one. Their leader. Ganon rallied his tribe together. You see they were living in harsh desert living conditions. The whole time there was more land to live on with actually trees and soil to harvest. Even less scary monsters, but the rest of the people living in the land didn't want Ganon or his tribe to live a nice and relaxing life. They condemned Ganon and his kind to the desert.

Until Ganon fought back and his tribe tasted freedom for a bit. The traveled over the grass, swam in the rivers, and even hung out behind some waterfalls. Ganon eventually got beat back by some young kid that loves shouting and breaking jars. Ganon took the loss like a champion and learned from his mistakes. His tribe is forever grateful for the time they were able to hangout in the green fields of Hyrule.

[-] iamanurd@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Ganon was indeed perfect! Thanks for sharing and sorry he’s not around anymore.

And I do know how hard it is to get a piss sample from a cat. I loath it with my lil dude who has kidney issues.
