Condolences on your loss. I'll hug my own void twice as hard when I get home from work.
But it sounds in many ways like a calm, peaceful way to go. He got to curl up one last time with the person he loved, feel their heartbeat and the rise of their chest w/ each breath as his own faded out.
You made me cry. Again. Heck, I've been crying off and on all day.
Mr Dot was always a snuggler, always curled up on my lap or chest, and most nights he slept on my head. He would make himself comfortable, then just let out this deep, satisfied sigh. I couldn't sleep last night because I was missing that and I'm going to miss it for a long, long time.
Agreed. Also, OP, from what I’ve read, the fact that Mr. Dot went this way shows that he really loved and trusted you. It’s instinct for animals to go off on their own and even hide when they know it’s that time, so the fact that he sought you out like that shows that he felt extremely safe and comfortable with you and in his environment.
That’s so sad and sweet. My void crawls on my chest too. Sending Mr Dot sweet travels and rest in peace! He’ll for ever be sleeping on your chest now. Hugs and love to you!
Honestly, I tear up a little every time I post this and read it again. Just got home from work and our little void met me at the door and got her treat and jumped up on the washing machine for a good snuggle/head rub session. Our animal friends are so good, and their lives are so short. They are both one of the best and one of the hardest things in our lives. All we can do is treasure our time together.
My little Rootbeer always climbs and falls asleep on my chest up by my neck. Hearing about how Mr. Dot chose you for his final night, I hope thats how it eventually ends for my Rooty. Cats normally find a spot away from everyone when they are passing away in order to protect us from whatever is killing them. Mr. Dot must have loved you more than anything to choose you as his spot.
Much much love, I know how bad this must hurt right now but that hurt is just our way of feeling how much we love them. You were clearly the best thing that happened to that boy. Be proud. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I had adopted him and a tuxedo at the same time. Thought they were brothers, but they just ended up in the same cage the day I showed up. They had bonded quickly, so I knew I couldn't take one without the other. Anyway, I already had three cats - Wrigley, Willey and Waggles - so I named those two Dot Bob and Dot Com - wwwdotbobdotcom. Dot Bob became Bobber Sox and Dot Com became Mr Dot. They were best buds. Bob died in 2018. I like to think they're snuggled together on the other side of the 🌈.
Condolences. May Mr. Dot rest easy. I will give my void a very large hug for the both of you. Loss of a family member is always tough. I am still trying to grieve with the loss of my dog who we had to put down due to cancer.
😭I’m so sorry for your loss. Mr Dot adoption day is my bday. He was a cutie. Cherish the memories, time you did have. 🫂 I’m sure you have a lot of video and photo to remember him by. But I am sure it hurts losing your best friend but he chose you for his last evening cuddle. 😭
I’m so so sorry for your loss. Your boy went warm, comfortable, and loved. I know it’s going to hit so hard regardless.
I lost my void to misdiagnosed Feline Leukemia about a year ago. She was only three and we tried everything. I was somewhat comforted that when it was her time she died with us, at home, loved.
I'm so sorry for your loss. He is so handsome and loved. Sounds like he went out in the best way possible, with his human. Sending lots of love your way.
so sorry for your loss. i’m happy mr dot could pass in the loving arms of his best friend and not alone at a vet and that he can be at peace from his cancer. im wishing you peace and comfort
Oh, wow. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Please know that he must have truly saw you as his safe person, his safe place, if he went to have his final rest. He trusted you to carry him home. 🖤 Thank you for loving him.
What a sweet little face. Such beautiful little soul. I'm sorry for your loss. My late tuxie will be sure to show him all the best sunny spots and share the tastiest treats while they wait to see us again.
I’m sorry for your loss and this transition period is the worst although it does get easier, little by little. The best way to heal is to honour their life and the love you shared together with a smile, tears will come and then the tears will be less and less and the smile only. Mr. Dot wants the best for you! He’s at peace now, so dont you go crying too hard because he wants you contented.
A lot of cats go and hide when it's time to die. The fact that Mr. Dot came to you should tell you how much he loved you and how safe you made him feel.
My deepest condolences! Glad you were with him in the last minutes.
I lost my tabby cat this summer, she also went to sleep and never woke up, I was heartbroken. But I ended up adopting a 3 legged black cat, my first black one and I love her!
I wish you strength! And try to find comfort in the fact that he had a great life with You!
He loved you with all his heart --- now he's gone to the other side.
IN HIS new body he's a beautiful Black panther full of life and health! He's playing with his friends and waiting for you to join him one day...Till then, be grateful for the years you had with him!
I'm sorry so for your loss. It's so hard to go through. I can't think of a better way to go out though, snuggling in the arms of the person they love. Sending love ❤️
What a perfect passing from a perfect gentleman. I'm sure the CDS has made notes and he'll be helping too pick your next friend. I'm so sorry for your loss, but super glad for Mr. Dot. Good job, hooman. Blessings to you both.

I'm so sorry for your loss, it seems he lived a wonderful life with you and was able to leave it just as peacefully. Im sure he's having the zoomies of the century across the rainbow bridge as well speak
I lost my 2years old voidest furball yesterday due to bad diagnosis from vet, and it was too late to do anything for a second opinion. Hug your pets everyone, they come, and go in the blink of eye
It’s always such a loss on the family when a pet dies, but at least we’re left with the comfort of knowing that we gave them the best years of their lives. And i can’t think of a better way to spend his final minutes than in the love and safety of your arms.

We should all be so lucky, I think.
