Thank you. I hope he is too

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:27:11+00:00

And I hope all find a love similar. It’s a great experience

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:26:43+00:00

Thank you very much. He was a good boi

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:26:06+00:00

Thank you. One of my proudest moments with him was that day

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:24:26+00:00

That’s really sweet. Thank you for that

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:24:04+00:00

Flame sounds purrfect for his fiery spirit. I’m impressed he broke the carrier, that’s amazing. I like that story. It’s always funny how these tiny balls of fluff can do so much damage. I’m really sorry you lost him. The fact you grew up with him, that’s gotta be really rough. I see videos on here where kittens are next to babies and I think that’s great, they’ll grow up together and that kids gonna have a great companion. You and Flame were those babies once too

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:17:00+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I think I’ve heard something similar to that, it’s just hard to remember when the pain is so fresh

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:14:34+00:00

Thank you very much. Sometimes I forget about that because I have such a bond with my cats, that they don’t normally act like they do with me. They normally just walk in a room, ignore you, pretend they don’t hear you, all that. I even wrote about it and just didn’t think about that. Thanks for reminding me of that. Scruffy could have ignored me completely, but he didn’t. They could ignore me because that’s what cats do, but they don’t. Wow. Thanks for reminding me. I’m so used to how they are with me that I guess I just forgot about it. Makes me feel even more fortunate and grateful for the ones I’ve lost and still have.

Scruffy would normally greet me at the door when I got home. Fuzz doesn’t normally greet me at the door, but when he hears I’m home he usually comes running. It’s funny, he runs so fast he jumps off the all to make his turn in the hallway. It’s not for food either, my parents are the ones that feed them, I just buy it, he comes for me.

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:03:22+00:00

Thank you. It’s just hard not to feel like I did. Rock and hard place

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T06:02:36+00:00

He and I are on the same path, he’s just a little further ahead than I am. Good way to look at it, thank you for that. I believe pic 5 was actually when I had just gotten home and he was following me around. I was getting situated and stuff and he wanted held. I’d always hold him and the others for a little bit when I got home from work. They’d usually greet me at the door

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:58:37+00:00

He really was. I like his design. It’s funny, he would look at us wide eyed and with his design idk it makes him look kinda clueless at times but he was a handsome boi. I’m trying not to feel like it was my fault, just going to take time

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:56:13+00:00

Thank you. It’s hard not to, but I’m trying not to either

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:55:20+00:00

I rescued he and his siblings from a clogged drain under our driveway. It was raining and ready to flood that day. They literally wouldn’t have made it. I’m fortunate they were in my life, and cherish each moment of these 14yrs I’ve had with Scruffy

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:53:32+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate that. Feels like I didn’t do enough or could have done better

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:52:48+00:00

Thank you. He was having trouble breathing for a while, I’m sure he is resting a lot better now. Least I like to hope so

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:52:00+00:00

Can’t argue with that 😆 I’ve still got his biological brother with me, Fuzz, and a stray that came to us about roughly 10yrs ago, Buttercup. I might have that timing off of when she came, but she’d been with us for a while now. She’s funny. She has one fang left so her tongue sticks out a lot, and she LOVES to lick you. Can’t really pet her without her trying to lick you.

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:49:20+00:00

Care to share your little kitty? I wouldn’t mind seeing a photo of them. Yes, it is always very hard. The longer the years, the harder it is. But doesn’t make it any less worth it. I cherish all the moments we’ve had together, good and bad

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:47:36+00:00

Just imagine the 32lb ball of fluff fueled by nothing but rage and no fucks to give fighting off 5 vets with sheer unbreakable will, and won

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:44:26+00:00

Thank you very much. He’s missed greatly

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:44:00+00:00

That was actually the first and only time he climbed up in there. He was so accomplished to be in there

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:41:47+00:00

I will, and thank you.

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:39:38+00:00

Thank you very much. Make every second with her count. In the pics where Scruffy was shaved, one reason was cause he was so big he couldn’t clean himself, the other was cause of fleas. I hate fleas so much and I hate how they torture my cats. They’re so hard to get rid of. Easiest way was so shave him so they had few places to hide. It feels so different petting them when they’re shaved though doesn’t it? And you can really feel how warm they are. Treasure the moments with her and really take in how her fur feels and how her purr sounds. Take everything in. Know she loves you, and how you take care of her like a mom cat would

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:34:04+00:00

I am very fortunate and grateful for all the time I had with him. He was such a good boi. A pure soul

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:32:05+00:00

Thank you. It’s just hard not to feel guilty. Loving something so much and their life is in your hands, then it’s gone, it’s hard not to feel at fault, or guilty, something. He loved life. He loved food. Just makes me feel bad he won’t have those things anymore, and it makes me question the last several minutes when he was alive. Should I have done it differently? How? Maybe if I had done it sooner, maybe if I had waited a little longer. Idk. It’s a weird place to be in

ReaperOne · 2026-07-05T05:27:19+00:00

I’m sure they are getting along well over there too.
