I just got back inside from burying him. I put him in the yard near the deck so I'll always know where he is and I can visit him.

He was my best friend and the best cat you could ever ask for. Not a mean bone in his entire body. He never bit, scratched or growled. He was a cuddle bug right up until yesterday when he came and kneaded on me before bed last night.

We got him back in 2012 from a petsmart. Originally we planned on getting another cat but Wolfie won us over, he just looked so cute in his cage lying on his back. I remember the other cat jumping on him.

He loved butter and anything diary and would always pester me when I was having milk or cheese. Just 2 weeks ago he jumped up on the counter and took shredded cheese out of a bag.

He always had health problems. When he was young we had to have his teeth pulled due to infection. And his stomach had always bothered him. I wonder if that played a role in his death.

I was with him at the end giving him pets as I watched him take his final breaths.

I love you my little peanut head and hope to see you again someplace better when I pass on to.

very sad news, hit me a few times today, we can hope to give our pets the best life possible, I don't think he could have had a better caretaker until the end, if it has to happen then at least he knew you were there with him

Ah fuck, I'm so sorry.

He was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss, comrade. He sounds a lot like my own little boy, with his love of cheese, health problems, and very long limbs kitty-cri

[-] SpookyGenderCommunist@hexbear.net 3 points 3 hours ago

Mr. Softie sounds like he was very loved, and lived a long and happy life with you ❤️

Indeed he was very handsome

Been thinking about him on and off throughout the day since I saw your post earlier and I could not think of anything to say until now that could even begin to address it, am so sorry for what you must be going through :(

It obviously brought you so much joy having Wolfie in your life and I know he felt the same about you. We may take care of animals and call them pets, but it just doesn't describe the literally outsized relationships we develop with them. Really, we are mutual life-companions and miss them so, so dearly when they're gone. I didn't know him except for the pictures and the little stories you would share with us but even I'm crying rn, he sounds like such a sweet and silly cat ;w;

I'm glad that when his time was up, he got to leave our world in the company of his best friend ;w;

meow-hug

Hopefully he's with biggs now, I will remember them both ;w;

I was wondering if @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net could use this picture of him and make him an emoji for the site? We should have a hexbear pets pantheon, including Comrade Sasha from @happybadger@hexbear.net and Comrade Bailey from @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net

[-] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 10 points 4 hours ago

Will look into it—most likely after my semester ends cuddle

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 4 hours ago

Thanks comrade, I think it would be great to memorialize him on here since everyone loved his pictures.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 7 points 4 hours ago

In like 3 years here, I still haven't gotten a tagline made, and the only emoji ive submitted is pooh-wtf

But i am VERY proud of the pooh bear one

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I would rly love that tbh

Btw, if you didn't already know, we have a pic of Marshal Sasha on here even if he is in his adventure-time outfit in it hehe: ecoterrorist

I'm so sorry comrade. He was a perfect baby from heaven.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 4 hours ago

Thank you comrade. He was indeed the love of my life.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago
[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago

I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a special guy, and your bond with him comes through clearly in your writing. I know he passed on in the most comfortable manner possible with his best friend right there with him.

Again, I am sorry for your loss. meow-hug

[-] axont@hexbear.net 8 points 5 hours ago

You have him a good life full of happiness and warmth. He loved you dearly and some part of him will always be with you. I hope you'll have peace

[-] Latework@hexbear.net 9 points 5 hours ago

My condolences, I remember showing some of your Mr. Softie posts to my husband.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 5 hours ago

That makes me glad, I'm happy to know he was a bright spot too in other people's lives.

[-] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I'm so sorry for your loss 😭💔 he was such a special and good boy, and I know he meant the world to you. I know how bad this kind of loss hurts, but I hope it helps to know that so many of us are mourning him with you. he was the most beautiful, most wonderful boy.

cuddle

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 5 hours ago

Thank you comrade, he really was the world to me indeed.

[-] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 10 points 6 hours ago

I've long adored the pictures you've posted and even the mentions of him in many of your comments. Your relationship with Wolfie/Mr. Softie has reminded me of my own relationship with my best friend in this world, and I always appreciated when you'd share little bits about it with us. So thank you for that, and thanks to Mr. Softie wherever he is. I'm so sorry he's gone and I'm sorry for how painful that is and will be. Take care of yourself, comrade.

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 8 points 6 hours ago

Sorry to hear this. Take care. 😔

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 11 points 6 hours ago

It's always hard to lose beloved family. The pain felt reflects the great depths and heights of love that fill our hearts for our loved ones.

I'm sorry for your loss. We'll be here whenever you need us.

[-] john_browns_beard@hexbear.net 19 points 7 hours ago

So sorry for your loss. From your posts about Mr. Softie, it was obvious that you loved him dearly and I know you gave him the best life possible. I'm glad that you shared pictures of him with us, seeing other people's pets here always makes me smile.

Fly high Mr. Softie

[-] Poogona@hexbear.net 18 points 7 hours ago

His bones are earth

His flesh is dust

His breath is wind

[-] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 25 points 8 hours ago

i've cried several times today for you and your cat and i'm so sorry I wish he could have lived forever

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 8 hours ago

Me too, it's always the thing. You wish you had more time or could have done something different. I'm at peace atm in the fact that I loved him and he loved me, I took good care of him and always had him as my priority.

[-] kittin@hexbear.net 16 points 7 hours ago

Goodnight Mr Softie

So sorry for the pain. I love my cats so much.

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 36 points 9 hours ago

Loss is a terrible thing. The loss of a pet is without a doubt one of the hardest forms it comes in. The unconditional, unwavering love a pet expresses takes up more space in your heart then you are even aware. It is as if they exist simultaneously as diminutive souls and as lumbering giants. It's the giant you feel the absence of, it's the giant that leaves its impression on you, it's the giant you will always remember.

Love, in all forms, from all sources, develops us as creatures. You are who you are in part due to the love this giant shared with you. Like a blessing from beyond the vale of the real, you have been touched and forever changed. Carry it with you, and you will always have them at your side.

I'm so happy for the life you shared together, know that it was beautiful.

[-] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 5 points 5 hours ago

this is beautifully written ❤️ what a lovely sentiment.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 24 points 9 hours ago

That's beautiful what you wrote and it's making me tear up all over again. Thank you for this.

[-] Junomint@hexbear.net 12 points 7 hours ago

He's on the rainbow bridge right this moment cuddle feel ya on this, lost cats before, always sucks, but I know he knew he was loved since you were with him to the end meow-hug

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Sorry for your loss. I would be in a complete state. I'm glad you could be there for him in the last moments.

[-] dkr567@hexbear.net 9 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

That really sucks, I'm so sorry for your loss and also rest in peace to Mr. Softie.

[-] blunder@hexbear.net 18 points 8 hours ago

That last moment with them is so annihilatingly painful but it is so important to be there with them as their rock during a confusing and scary time for them.

I'm happy you two had each other. meow-hug

[-] un_mask_me@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago

I'm sorry for your loss, comrade

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 22 points 8 hours ago

I'm so sorry. He was a lovely cat, always enjoyed your pictures of him and I know he knew you loved him. That's our blessing and curse as cat guardians: we get all the love, but in return we agree to be with them until the end, to help ferry them to their deaths, holding them to their last breaths. I know Mr. Softie appreciated you to the last. Thanks for being there for him.
