Cat chat

Why do anything then? Why get up in the morning? It all leads to death anyways

is not a good outlook

You need a cat more than anyone

Nah I saw my kitten grow from my son to a grandpa during those 21 years he was alive. Watching him struggle to climb into the litter box and collapsing outside of it in his own filth wasn't easy. I will admit that when my best friend died recently; I didn't cry at all but it all came out when I had to put my cat down.
In the end, all I have left of him are some ashes and some old things of his that I don't know why I don't just throw out. There are times I wake up at night. I would look down and think he is sleeping at his favorite spot by the door. I would still open the door carefully/slowly because I am so used not trying to hit him with the door.

Thank you for sharing your story but I think you have a bit of a skewed perspective

You are looking at this cat's life and not properly cherishing it and remembering it well

It's the time you spent together that's more important than when the cat died and thinking about its final moments

I'm sorry to say but it sounds like you would have waited too long to put the cat down. And before that sounds harsh this is the boat I was in:

My cat Max was my first cat. I can't even begin to tell you the bond we had. He would sleep on my head every night. I love that little guy.

At 13 we discovered he had cancer in his nose. our options were to prolong his suffering for a surgery that they said wasn't guaranteed was costly and would make his final amount of Life uncomfortable. I never thought until being in the position that I would have the heart or the courage to make the call to put him down. I got to tell you I'm tearing up right now thinking about it. This came two weeks after my wife's 18 year old cat literally died in her arms.

We lost two cats in a two week span. After Kiera we got my nymeria. Then we lost Max. Then we got the twins that nobody believes is real.

And thru all of this there has been Conky. He is now my oldest cat that I've known longer than my wife. It will suck when he has to hit the old dusty trail too.

But as always you can't focus on the end you have to focus on the value of life and the time spent together and the good memories it's what it all about because nothing is permanent

Ultimately it's best to stay positive and focus on the good because nothing at all has ever been for nothing

And anybody else who tries to say my cats are not real is going to get knocked the fuck out

I don't know what flavour they are - but they are twins - I obtained them from a young couple on the north end who looked like they were overwhelmed in all aspects of life

When we met them the mother was hissing at them in stuff so I think they were rejected and in a hurry to get out of there

Are they really vocal? Because I have one that looks exactly like your black cat, same length of fur and everything. He’s a Siamese. They talk a lot. It’s a dead giveaway.

Conky the black howls all the time. Especially when carrying stuff.

Charlie the orange makes crazy noises too

Quinn the gray virtually never meows
 
Around this time is when my cat will wake me up to eat. I am going to go lift now.
