Found out yesterday that my little man was put to sleep not long ago.
I don't know when, I was never told.
My mum didn't know how to tell me due to how I react to these sort of things...
I just know it hurts, a lot. Hurts even more that he wasn't with me.
For all I know, he gave up because of depression... He didn't get much attention at my parents.
For the passed couple weeks, I've been feeling lost and confused.
I couldn't get back into my groove for work...
Nightmares, dreams, consisted of Stubby...
Now I know why.
Stubby is a seal point Himalayan.
His father was Kimba, a fire point Himalayan.
His mother was Shady, a black Himalayan.
His brothers were Bear and Midnight, both black like his mother.
Bear was given to my Uncle. He was also put to sleep due to having cancer just a couple years ago.
We never heard from the owners of Kimba, Shady, and Midnight...
There was one thing that made Stubby stand out and that was his tail.
He was born with a short tail, not a stub, but not at full length either.
Every time you pick him up, he'd twirl it like a fan. Was so adorable.
He was the best cat...
I'm healing, slowly. It'll take a few days to get myself together again...
PS: Yes, he slept, a lot. But always when he was near me and comfortable... When he felt safe.
All of my children are gone now... It hurts so much...

~15 years is respectable lifespan for a cat. It always feels so short to us when we loose someone we love, but it says a lot about how well you took care of him. I recently had to say goodbye to my big fuzzy malamute boy, its never easy, its not supposed to be. The sadness you feel for his loss is kind of a testament to how awesome of a cat he was.
The hardest part about being an animal parent ... is knowing that someday, you'll outlive all of your children ... BELIEVE me, I know how deep that cuts. =<
I have several of my own little ones across the other side of Rainbow Bridge. I'll say a little prayer today, asking them to give your Stubby a warm welcome.

I know exactly how you feel right now....now more than ever. Everyone loses a pet...no, a friend, at least once during their lives, and there isn't any words to say sometimes, only that it hurts.
It hurts more than anything in the world. It hurts more than falling off your bike in the third grade, it hurts more than seeing your favorite TV show get canceled. It hurts more than the harshest words people throw at you, or the ruthless beatings they may have given you. It hurts like HELL.
But we CAN take comfort in the fact that we know that these special furry friends were loved, and that they had a great home with people who loved them more than anything. I said that I know how you feel now more than ever because my little cat Checkers recently passed away. He was my world. He was my everything. Every moment separated from him was agony and every second I didn't see him I ached to see him again. But now......I can't ever do that again. Ever. I can't pet him, kiss him, tell him I love him more than anything else in the whole world. I miss you buddy, and I hope you know that.
I would have loved to have met Stumpy! He seems like an amazing cat, and I would have been honored to hang with him :) I know that right now you are feeling absolutely terrible, but we have to realize that these things do pass and that life will go on. Stumpy loved you, as Checkers did I, and we would do well to remember their life than mourn their death.
