My cat Casper passed away around 730AM on Saturday morning. He was around 19 years old (we never knew his exact age). I rescued him from my animal clinic when he was 9 or 10 years old, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. He was such an amazing cat, the sweetest, most loving, social, talkative kitty you would ever meet. Kinda like a dog-cat. He was known as "Fat Cat" for a while, as he used to be quite chubby, but in his late years we've called him "Old Man" and "Squeaky." Man did he love to talk.
Old age caught up to him. I had had him at the vet the day before, stayed home from work taking care of him. He seemed so wrong though, so tired and not there. During the night he seemed worse. I had woken up about 630 to check on him, then fell back asleep.
And then at 8am I found him, gone, curled up next to me on the bed in his favorite spot.
I loved him so much, and miss him so much. It's so empty without him here. I know the other cats are sad too. Ace has been sitting in Casper's spot on the bed most of today.
RIP my Old Man, we didn't know his bday so we just used to say Jan 1 of whichever year.
I will love this cat always, and I know part of his soul will forever remain with mine. That cat saved my life, more than once. There is something so special about him.

I am trying to remind myself of that. It's just hard, I never had an animal die at home before. The others we had were put down, and one died at the animal hospital. It was just really weird. But I know you're right, he couldn't have been anymore he liked more. Thank you
I love this photo of him. I am so sad that I never got to meet him in person, but I know so well the bond you and he shared. I know you're grieving and it's going to take time to start recovering from a loss of a pet. But, sweetie, no cat could ever have prayed for a better life than the ones that you give to your kitties. And I know it doesn't always seem like it, but I think they do understand that and are grateful. I think they feel genuine unconditional love for us the same way we do for them. I know they do. And Casper was no exception. I love you, my Jolyns. And I have been praying for you and for Caspie. *holdstight*
Oh my Lauras ;; Thank you so much. I wish you had gotten to meet him too. He was a true sweetheart and loved me so much every day. I know you're right, it's just so hard because I miss him so much. I know you understand. I love you so very much, thank you for always being there for me
I'm so sorry you lost your boy.. I'm glad you were able to give him such a wonderful second chance at life, and he was surrounded by animals and people who adored him for so many years.
I think sometimes we have therapy animals that we don't know are therapy animals until they're gone, I know Gambit was a therapeutic presence for me, and saved my life numerous times. Losing him was really hard, even though he was so old.
Keep your chin up, Casper's still with you, and he wouldn't want you to be sad. <3

I agree with you, I reflect and see more and more things he did for me now that he's gone. And even when he was here he was so amazing and grateful in his own kitty way. I still am so sorry for you losing your Gambit, even though he was old like my Casper. I love you so much my Mabs <3
Oh Ols I know you're right ;; I remember us hanging out and Casper lounging around with us when Dex wasn't taking over (which wasn't that often because Dex is well, Dex, he must have all attention always) you actually knew him so that just really means so much to me
i love you tons <3
