Really wasn't expecting to post again in this community about negative situations again, but our newest addition just left us after only two weeks. FIV absolutely fucking sucks. She was just shy of five months old.

As consolation, here's my cat tax.

Riley

May his/her sunspot never move and may he/she rest in play.

I hope she's bouncing around with her hyper-zoomies wherever she may be. She deserved so much more.

The one thing we know is that while she was in pain, she went fast after we took her to the emergency vet. This whole time we thought maybe it was just some bad gas, but afterward we determined she had contracted feline coronavirus (not Covid) before she was rescued with her littermates from a barn with their momma.

I feel your loss and send my condolences.

[-] linkinkampf19@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you. It never gets easier. Therapy and time helps, but yeah...

Thank you, it never gets easier, although time will heal hopefully.

I’m so sorry for your loss

I have a soft spot for back cats and she looks so bouncy and sweet.

Yeah, she was my housemate's cat for the short time we had her. Before we lost Sweets not even 2 months ago, she had bonded with her as well, so this was supposed to be her 2nd chance... and while we're all devastated, she was beyond destroyed. Phil bonded with me, Riley to my other housemate, and Woflie... he's kinda the house ho, getting love from everyone. There's a chance we'll adopt again in about a year, as this pain is just too fresh.

Thank you for your kind words RS.

Sending a virtual hug voucher, and one virtual pat for each of your cats.

[-] linkinkampf19@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They all appreciate those pats. You're lucky to know none of them would hiss at the attempt. Thank you.
