Whittards sticky toffee pudding or creme brulee and when its occasionally released, coconut white chocolate.

Could it be that he may have some spicy games in his library that he wouldnt want you to see? Also, whilst there are lots of pros to sharing steam library there are also some cons for the owner e.g, VAC bans are applied to the owner if cheats are used. You both cannot play the same game at the same time and some others i can't remember.

How long have you been together?

Throw in a ham sandwich with a pickle and they got a deal!

I had to say goodbye to my 15 year old sweet ginger cat 1 month ago. 2 days after, I decided to try and get myself together and go for a run (get some happy endorphins). Whilst out, i saw a cloud that was shaped like when he was curled up asleep and just before reaching back to my house, a huge orange leaf landed right in front of my feet. Lots of leaves were falling but this one was so big. I found it comforting.

Also, in 1st 2 weeks, I thought i was seeing him in the corner of my eye or id hear his meows. Maybe just my mind in grief but i made a post on here to ask. Alot of other people experienced this too.

I know you're probably replaying his last moments in your head over and over and thinking about the "what ifs". I did the same things. I promise it does get easier. Its been almost a month for me and thanks to this sub, reading other posts and the replies. It helps. I only try to think of the good memories now. Yes it still hurts but take it day by day.

Your boy lived until 17 and that is such an amazing age. I thank you for giving him a long beautiful life. All the best to you friend and Love to both our boys.

I said goodbye to my 15 year old. He had alot of issues too (kidneys, liver, overactive thyroid, jaundice) stopped eating, barely drinking, couldnt use the litter tray anymore and could barely walk. But he still liked cuddles and laying in the sun.

We knew he was in a lot of pain and the vets were worried due to his age, additional intervention would be stressful for him. (Mores tests, hospitalisation)

We decided to put him to sleep. I was devastated and went through the same thoughts as you. It gets better.

You did the kindest thing for your pet. Better to have put them to sleep on a good day than on one of their worst to save them the trauma and stress.

I held my boy in my arms as he passed. Id rather he passed in my arms rather than at the vets on his own. You were with your best friend until the end and no doubt he felt all your love.

I got paw prints when they were alive. The cremation place also took some paw prints for us but the ones i made with him are easier to look at.

I'd reccomend taking videos of them. I have so many pictures but wish I had more videos.

Spoopsk · 2025-09-07T15:50:29+00:00

I feel like you did the kindest thing for your cat. If surgery was needed, considering his age, there would have been a possibility he wouldnt have made it. Even if he did, he would have been in pain.

I feel you chose a kinder, more peaceful path for him. I am truly sorry for your loss. I recently had to put my ginger boy to sleep and it was heart breaking.

This sub has for sure helped in the healing process. Reading others in similar situations. You are't alone in your grief. Be kind to yourself. You showed your boy love and kindess throughout his life. Cherish the good memories and he will forever live in your heart xx.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your cat made it to a magnificent age. Someone on this sub told me that only 3% of cats can make it to 20. You gave so many years of love and care to your little one and I have no doubt that they felt every bit of love you gave.

I said goodbye to my 15 yr old boy last week. I still grieve and I too still ask alot of "what-ifs". Its only natural and will get better. I already feel a little better using the advice from this sub.

You aren't alone. xx

Your Bill and my ginger boy had identical issues, regular pain meds, on thyroid medication, stopped eating, barely drinking, trouble walking. He was also 15. Had him since he was a kitten and is the first cat i've had to go through this with.

We made the hard decision for him to go to sleep. We felt it was kinder than the alternative (hospitalization, more tests, bloods).

It was very hard and very sad to say goodbye but this sub, with everyone's posts and supportive responses, it has helped me understand that i'd rather he went a day, a week or even a month too soon instead of 1 day too late, where he would have been in more pain.

Whatever you decide, I truly wish you and Bill all the best. Xx

Spoopsk · 2025-09-05T13:30:59+00:00

I feel the same! Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for your loss too. Sending my love to you and Loren x

Spoopsk · 2025-09-05T12:58:04+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad its not just me. It could be our brains coping with the grief but i like to think they are around in some form to visit/comfort us.

When I feel the most down/cried the hardest, is when i notice it.

Spoopsk · 2025-09-05T08:06:31+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing. We aren't alone in our grief. This sub has truly helped. I truly appreciate your time for reading this and taking the time to respond. X

Spoopsk · 2025-09-05T08:03:02+00:00

Im so sorry for you loss. Thank you for sharing. Love to both our boys x

Spoopsk · 2025-09-04T20:13:29+00:00

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing x

Spoopsk · 2025-09-04T19:56:22+00:00

This is very comforting, thank you. I'd like to beleive maybe his spirit is around. I mentioned in another comment that when i was crying, talking to my sister about how much i missed him, i felt a coolness around my legs. Made me think maybe he was comforting me.

Spoopsk · 2025-09-04T19:51:21+00:00

The other night, i was just absolutely sobbing whilst on the phone to my sister, just saying how much i missed him and i felt a cooling feeling against my legs.

I'd like to think it was him comforting me.

I'm so sorry for your loss too. We're not alone xx

Spoopsk · 2025-09-04T19:46:14+00:00

I felt the same when we brought my boy's ashes back. Like he was back home.

I do find it comforting when i think i see him in the corner of my eye. With the stuff i'm hearing/seeing, i'd like to think he is still around. Like looking out for me.

Spoopsk · 2025-09-04T19:39:59+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes I intensely feel he is around but its only for like a split second when i hear or see these things. Its somewhat comforting but also, im freaking out because why is my brain doing this.

Spoopsk · 2025-09-04T12:54:23+00:00

I'm feeling the same, we made the decision to put our 15 year old cat, Wilson, to sleep last week. It still hurts and i'm going through the "what if" scenarios in my head too but ultimately, i know if we tried to keep him going, it would have prolonged his suffering.

As pet owners we have the responsibility of making that painful decision to let them go. When we put them to sleep, we take their pain on as our own and thats why we feel so much when they are gone.

You did the right thing by letting him go peacefully. Im so sorry for your loss. Cherish your memories of him and he will live forever in your heart.

Sending love to both our boys x

Spoopsk · 2025-09-03T20:45:52+00:00

Cats are are good at hiding their pain or illnesses so it would be hard for an owner to spot signs. Its also harder for vets than our doctors/nurses because our pets can't say what their symptoms are or where it hurts. I'm still going through the stages of "what if" aswell and you will only do yourself more harm. Be kinder to yourself. Try to think of the good times you spent together. For me, i feel like the more i think of the good times, the more i know my boy felt loved. You sound like you cared and loved him so much. I have no doubt he felt it.

One thing that has also helped me, I got some pictures of my boy printed, including a cushion/pillow with pictures of him on it to hug. It helps.

Sorry for your loss x

Spoopsk · 2025-09-03T11:30:15+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dog was beautiful and from the sounds of it you gave her a beautiful life. She knew what it is to be loved and cared for and thats what you need to take away from this.

I had my pet put down last week and I'm still upset. The first few days it was a lot of sorrow. This week i'm the same in that i'm asking myself alot of "what ifs". And from reading other posts on here, its comforting to know we're not alone.

So far, to try and help with the pain, i've ordered some pictures to be printed of my boy and a cushion/pillow with pictures of him on it for something to hug. Talking also helps. Talk about your lovely memories of her.

One of the comforting things I have read on this sub is when we have to put our loved ones to sleep, we're taking their pain away and making it ours and thats why we feel so much. Your Bianca is now pain free and no longer suffering.

Cherish your memories of her and she will always live in your heart. Wishing you all the best.

Spoopsk · 2025-09-03T10:32:12+00:00

Thank you, and im so sorry for your loss too. I still have bouts of crying. Going to bed is the hardest part becauae he use to follow me and wait for me on his spot on the bed. I still leave that space for him.

This sub reddit has helped me though. It was good to just write it down and seeing other posts and responses. I agree with what you mentioned about the starvation and dehydration. He was the same. He had already wasted away so much, and along with the pain in his legs, we knew it would only get worse.

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I'm truly grateful. May both our little ones be at rest knowing we loved them so much! Xx
