(11,474 posts)I would ever have him this long. He had diabetes years ago and I reversed it with a lot of help from D.U.ers.
Now hes been battling thyroid the last 4 years.
Cant imagine life without him.

(15,805 posts)I've always had a soft spot for gray kitties like my Smokey, the first cat I had as a young adult out I my own. Those are little pink jelly bean toes are almost hidden under all his flooffiness.

(111,222 posts)She was my last kitty because I don't want to risk having one outlive me. Cats grieve when they lose somebody. She meowed at closed closet doors for 3 years after the tomcat died, thinking he'd been shut in there.

(111,222 posts)There are a couple of feral tuxies who chase each other across my flat roof for the patter of little cat feet and there's a Kliban cat owned by a neighbor who comes by for conversation and scritches.

(34,425 posts)Put to sleep at the oncologists. What I did not anticipate was my other senior kittys digging under the fence to go look for him. Kitty 1 would sneak out if anyone left the gate open, but Kitty 2 never tried to do that, until Kitty 1 passed. So it was clear why he did it, and totally heartbreaking.
When this year Kitty 2 had an untreatable terminal condition, I had a mobile euthanasia service come to the house. The other 2 kitties were able to see his poor little body. I was afraid it would upset them, but it did just the opposite. They knew Kitty 2 had passed and were at peace with it.
Kitty 1 and 2 were among the most wonderful cats Ive ever known and I miss them terribly.

(11,474 posts)I could tell about this boys life. He truly is a very very smart cat. Affectionate to everyone including visitors.
He watched over my Mom when I was out running errands till her passing. He greeted you at the door if you were gone 10 minutes or 3 hours. All of us.
He loved his backyard and never really strayed except to the next door neighbors to see their cat which he would go in visit and have a treat and come right back home. He loved to chase the squirrels up the tree.
Hes always been around to cheer me up when I was sad or sick. For 19 years hes been in my bed every night.
We have a special bond and when I say hes the best...
I mean it.
This is us! 19 years and hoping for more❤️
