PICS
It is with the heaviest heart that I tell you all about the sudden and devastating passing of my little cat Matt.
We took him in as a tiny stray in the summer and had spent the last 8 months patiently nurturing and socializing him. Everyday he astounded us with his ability to change, trust and love. Everyday we loved him more and more.
There is something different about the love of an animal you have to gain one tiny millimeter at a time. He was at the point where he would sit on my lap and sleep on my pillow with me; such a long way from spitting and hissing from the back of a crate in the kitchen!
I can only hope that his passing to his next life was painless and that he felt no fear. I fed him Sunday morning at 5am and he trotted after me purring and affectionately cooing. He played with Icky. I slept a bit longer half waking several times to ask Scotty where Matt was and the last time I felt something very wrong and found him cold on the living room floor... as though he was just walking along and dropped. 2 weeks after his last round of kitten booster shots and a clean bill of health we are both in such shock.
Icky and B are depressed and mopey. My heart breaks for them. If you've lost a pet you understand the deep heartache that come with it. Pets, in my opinion, are the only ones we can truly love unconditionally.
I love you, Matty. I am so sorry. I miss you so very much.

I am sooo sorry to hear that! The other posters are right, you gave that sweet kittie a much better life than what it would have had previously. The world needs more people like you! Sweet, caring, loving!
Many hugs!!!!

I always read these through a film of tears because I've been there. So very sorry for your loss. Know he lived a good life, albeit a short one, and that he had a chance to experience love in your home.

RIP
In my mind, an animal's life's worth at least as a human's one...

That is so very sad! As a fellow cat lover I understand the heartache too well. I don't know what i would do if one of my fur babies passes
Sending my love
