    Devastation and a push for Motivation [Sadnes Warning]

    Let me preface this with "I never liked cats." I never liked how impersonable a lot of them are. Whenever you meet one that is all lovey, of course, you are abound with happiness. Well, 6 months ago, my girlfriend brought home this little Orange guy. Tiny, confused, and likely frightened.
    There are already a small dog and a few cats here, so he was quite nervous? Nope. Didn't take shit from anyone. In faact, I found myself saving him from the boppings, and little bullyings of the veterans. Him, not sure what to ever do with himself, would always loaf up. But, his colour became lighter, he looked like a potato. "Spud!" I shouted, "you're Soud!. My Spud Bud". This little dude perches on me, follows me around, yells for cheese from my sandwiches (tiny corners), best friend stuff guys.

    Never did I think I could have such a fun little dude around, even with this high energy pup around, I found myself loving this little guy more, and more, each day. Last week, though, he started not doing things he was for thepast 6 months. He'd been sleepin through breakfast, not screaming at 3 am, very weird. I figured, "he's getting used to the sleep schedule! Awesome!" He finally comes down for some begging..I was so happy! I gave him an entire patte tube, he scraffed it down..he drank a ton of water..something is wrong...Next day, we drop him at the vet. It's FIP. a 5% chance it was even able to happen o the kitten in the first place. I had to tell them to take my kid to the Rainbow Bridge. And I am broken for it.

    I now sleep with a little squishamellow, with a weight on the bottom of it, on my chest. I can't sleep otherwise...Please, go hug your fur babies. I just wanted to vent, because my heart is broken. I think she's bringing the ashes home tonight...

    God, I am so sorry. That has to be devastating. Long enough to grow attached, but taken much too soon...

    I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. I feel this one deeply because a couple of years ago we lost a spunky, loving little grey tabby to FIP.

    It's a wretched disease that takes young ones from us before they have a chance to become the amazing adult kitties they deserve to be.

    I hope that someday you find the space in your heart for another little meow. For now, I hope that you have support and comfort. You are not alone.

    the worst part is my VERY significant other works with animals, and she was sending me videos of sweet cats, thinking it would help. I'm doing my best, but I know I need this time to heal. To have all that power stripped from you. They left so confortably, though. snuggling me under my throat, his favourite thing to do :') -breaks-
    If the one thing I could do for him, was be a strong daddy, I hope I did my job well. "He didn't seem scared at all", the woman said.

    My darling, I'm so sorry. That is so, so sad. He was an incredibly lucky boy to be able to be cared for so deeply in the devastatingly short amount of time he had.

    That is 100% perfect. He knew he was loved and taken care of for every minute he was part of your life. You did everything right. Sending so many hugs!!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I went and gave my little buddy some extra skritches and a kiss in honor of your boy. I've had him for only five months, he showed up December 1st as a sick and wormy little black and white kitten in my backyard and never left. Took a while to get his confidence up but he's fully indoors now and a total ham, we adore him. He's made of velcro. I'm not allowed to be out of his sight. It's amazing how fast an animal can find a place in your heart. Your little spud bud got to spend the time he had with a family that loved him and sounds like it was full of fun. I'm glad he had you to take care of him and to be brave enough to make the hard decision for his own sake even when it hurt you.

    Sending you all my love and condolences. As a pet mom as well, having our fur babies leave us at all is probably one of the most painful things in life and I can't yet imagine the pain you are going through right now. Your little spud sounds like an amazing cat (and poo on those who don't give them a chance!) and surely he is still by your side, even now and forever. ❤❤❤
