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.

I'm glad you were able to help him find peace at the end

It's always so hard watching our pets go but take solace in the good times you had with him

You and Mr. Softie will always be loved

I have some great memories with him. He was like my last link to my mom who passed 3 years ago too. She loved him dearly as well and the two of them bonded when I went abroad to live with a girlfriend.

meow-hug I’m so sorry. I know how awful it is to lose a pet, and I hope you’re hanging in there okay.

I'm at peace right now but earlier on I was really going through it. But I know how weird grief can be having lost my mom, it isn't an all the time thing.

Sorry for your loss. He sounded like the best companion you could ask for.

So sorry to hear, sending you all the strength and love I can, I am sure he was the happiest and most loved cat in the world ♥ cuddle

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 13 points 11 hours ago

I'm so sorry comrade. Your love for this beautiful creature was clearly so deep and I know he felt it. You gave him a full and wonderful life. I'm gonna miss seeing all the Mr. Softie pics he was such a cutie pie. I'm glad that his passing was relatively quick and that he got to do it alongside you getting as much comfort as you could give.

This kind of thing really sucks. Don't be afraid to lean on your communities, including and especially all of us. We're here for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, friend. I lost my cat in May and it still hurts like a bitch. What gives me some consolation is thinking that we spent a great 13 years together, and I was gladly able to give him all the love I could. Mr. Softie will be remembered, may he rest and I wish you all the best heart-sickle
