Goodbye TC
9 months ago
ScottishFurI've never mentioned it here, but I had a cat called TC. My family adopted him from a shelter in 2013 after he had been found wandering the streets of Glasgow. We picked him as adult cats usually get overlooked in favour of kittens. Despite being a street cat for, who knows how long, he was sweet as can be, a big gentle soul who loved humans. Today he passed away at the vets while getting treatment for a kidney disease. We have no idea how old he was but he was a senior for sure.
This hasn't been the first time I've lost a pet, but this hit me harder than usual. I think it may have been the amount of what happened while he was with us. During his lifetime I joined the furry fandom, gained friends from across the globe, lost friends, studied at university and college, got my first job, endured two toxic exes and so many more. I feel like I never fully appreciated him. I would often get irritated being woken up by him at 4 or 5 in the morning but would always see his face and mellow. He was one picky eater and would turn up his nose at fancy treats in favour of dry food and would always lick the jelly and leave the rest of his wet food. He was one silly strange cat. I hope wherever he is now, he's in a happier place.
Goodbye TC. I wish we could have spent longer together, but I am happy to have known you for 12 years where you were always by my side. I hope you find somewhere beautiful on the other side.

Sure sounds like a beautiful grave for a beloved pet.
I hope it will end up that way. Even if dandelions pop up it'll still be nice. I do love dandelions.
Hopefully a verdant one when summer comes even with the dandelions.
Gizmo. (November 2002 - November 2019) That cat and I were really close - I wasn't expecting another cat; I was actually on my way to apply for a nearby job location, and a mewing little grey tabby kitten redirected my plans for that day. So, of course I brought her home!
It hurt like fresh hell when I had to put her down, but, malignant tumors are friends to no one. Thankfully, she stuck around for seventeen years. Unfortunately, she was tired and she hurt.
My second favorite lady was one of my former mentors because heart-attacks suck.
There's a nice place for our pets. Call it a dream or what-not, but I that I saw my beloved pet some time after she died. She jumped onto something that looked like part of a small wooden fence, and, she looked as healthy as she did in her youth and loving the outside.
There's a raw nerve struck when a pet dies. They always feel far more vulnerable than humans, but sadly we both share the fact our bodies can be our worst enemies.
I do hope all our pets are alive in a paradise somewhere, where there is no pain and they can frolic, play, swim and whatever they want to in pure peace.
