Yes, this is a tough one as I rescued this cat a few years ago. Beat up and sickly when I found him on my deck one cold icy winter night....covered with snow and wet to the bone...sick and miserable. But he’s had a kings rein in every way here since then....and he’s known that.
He was older when he came here and has all the ‘conditions’ of an older cat soon to leave this world.....but today he had black watery bowels and we know his issues have run the course.
It’s just hard................
This breaks my heart to hear this about your cat. I too brought in a cat from outside. He too has really changed our home. Our other two cats really love him.
I have often joked my place is like the island of misfit toys. I knew which puppy we would get when I saw the one with the broken hairless tip tail (it grew back). Years before that another puppy when it had ‘the wrong markings’ which they say they normally drowned as puppies (yes, no kidding. It was a white boxer). The ones that need a good home are very special to our hearts indeed. No wonder this one is extra special to you. You are extra special to this cat too. You know they remember. And I fully believe they are spiritual beings too.
You gave him a lot of love and a good life. We love our fur babies. I’m very sorry for your loss.
Hugs,
SC
