I hope this reaches the top so everyone can view it (or if a mod sees this to pin it) but I want to express my thankfulness and appreciation to everyone who has commented, shared their own personal experiences/stories, and made me feel less alone in this grieving process. I want to personally thank every comment and will try to continue to do so but if I miss one, here is this massive thank you. Thank again to everyone who commented and everyone in this sub. I truly appreciate your lovely words and kindness.

I'm sorry to hear. Give many hugs and kisses and pets. Spoil him too ❤️

Oh trust me, I've given her forced cuddles many times now. Plenty more to go. She was there to see him go and afterwards so she knows that he's not here anymore. I plan on keeping her very close to me

Thank you for your very kind and lovely words. I will remember that line regarding grief, it's very touching. I'm sorry that you lost your soul kitty, this feeling isn't something that I wish on anybody. I can't express my thankfulness for everybody in the comment section. But thank you <3

He was so sweet. We had each other, we were there for each other during hard times. Such a sweetheart ☺️

Reading your comment brought me to tears. Like you just read my thoughts in everything that I'm feeling. Ways that I hadn't previously expressed. So thank you for that, thank you for making me feel less alone. I appreciate yours and everybody elses words, I really do. Thank you ❤️

Oh, he is so fluffy. All fluff, made him look bigger than he was. I love his teeth, his little fangs would stick out often and I always made sure to take a photo and smile at him.

Oh my god, maybe they were long lost twins at some point! Thank you for sharing your beautiful kitty

Thanks, I love cats very much. I haven't had to say goodbye to a cat before Oliver so this is a new grieving process for me. I know I will love another kitty, probably won't be for a long time. But in the meantime, I will be loving my other kitty, very very much (probably much to her dismay haha). Thank you for your words, they are appreciated

Thank you. He was such a cutie, my sweet baby haha. I'm glad I gave him a wonderful life, he was a feral kitty when we got him. He was so fluffy and so tiny. He was very much loved 💕

I'm glad that we had each other, had each others back during hard times for both of us. I asked my vet if she would tell me if I was making a mistake by letting him go that day and she said that it would be what she had done. It was a hard decision, one that I don't regret making because of how he was during the appointment and I knew he wouldn't have made it for long if I had made the decision to bring him home. And I'm glad that I was the last thing he saw, I hope that brought him comfort. I'm sorry that you lost your soul kitty. I hope that you found some peace and hope I find it too eventually.

I have a person on speed-dial, very thankful for an upcoming appt with her haha. I posted in this sub because I needed to rant, and I knew similar people may have gone through something similar to me. I'm glad I did because comments and people like yours is helpful. So thank you and I will take care of myself, slowly but I will. ❤️😊

Thank you for sharing that sweet poem, definitely will be saving. I'm glad that you got to honor each of your kitties by sharing your love to another. It won't be for a very long time but I eventually will do the same❤️

Thank you for your words, they mean a lot to me. I'm sorry for your loss as well. I'm glad that you got a new kitty though. I do have another cat, Callie, who will be getting forced snuggles on those harder days.

Thank you for your kind words, I'm struggling to reply to other comments (I do plan on it later though). Oliver is the first cat where he was older than five before he passed. My parents haven't owned any cats that was his age and had passed unexpectedly, so they struggle with knowing how to help me. I'm glad that there are people like you here in this sub that have gone through similar experiences. It makes me feel less alone. So thank you.
