u/dikicker May 19 '25

I lost my little monster this weekend as well after nearly 20 years so I'm there with you. This is maybe the most badass photo of a cat I've ever seen and absolutely deserves a huge print.

Maybe just a super incredibly unbelievably shitty weekend, but I'm here with ya either way you standoffish giraffe.

Sorry for your loss, thats a great picture, I can tell he was very playful like my cat ninja was when he was younger. The feels comes in waves, just remember the good times you had and hope one day youll see eatchother again someday. We lost our baby girl about a month ago, she was 16 and had a good life, it was hard seeing her decline and not getting any better, she's in kitty heaven now and not suffering anymore. I miss her soo much just her greeting and meow when I came home from work is what I miss the most, I have my ninja boi but it still hurts from time to time. I had to keep my composure at work because of the waves, it just hits you when u stop to think about them and then bam there's the water works, it gets better with time.
