As some of you know, I've had a cat for the past 14 or 15 years named Cody.
At about 4:44 PM on Monday the 17th of June I had to say goodbye to my best friend and fuzzy son Cody. He was the light of my life. Our bond was the most incredible thing. He's done so much for me and even in the end he made sure to know that he loved me with every fiber of his being by nuzzling me when we were putting him down. I've had him about 14 or 15 years. He was an old boy with a lot of love to give and receive.
Tongue cancer got him. He got so weak because he was unable to eat or drink. I was with him until the very end.
It's really rough now, to walk around my house and not see him there. He was an amazing cat that did all kinds of things that I'd never think possible of a cat. Never left my side, always giving me presents, never didn't come when called, brought me the dogs' sweaters, pulled down blinds beside me to peek out of them, laid down on command without being trained... so many memories with him that I'll cherish forever. My baby boy. I'll miss him but he held out for so long on fumes, just waiting for me to be ready to let go.
He wasn't just a cat, he was weirdly human and we shared a bond that was incredibly powerful and, honestly, we still do. He's helped me through so much in my life and while I'm horribly sad he's gone, I feel at peace because he told me he was ready and he loved me in the end and his suffering has ended.

At least you have happy and fond memories of them. That is what matters, being happy to have been with them, for so long.
If you need anything, my inbox is always open. I'm unfortunately all-too-familiar with losing pets, and I know how tough and isolating a period it will be. Cody absolutely loved you, though, and despite your sadness he at least isn't in any pain now.
