I don’t think I realized how emotionally connected I was to this little guy. As I look around, there are so many things that remind me of him. I miss him very much. But I’m grateful that we got to throw him an 18th birthday, and we even took him cabin camping with us, which he reluctantly enjoyed lol.

PSA to please give your cat kisses and treasure your time with them.

I'm actually just the adopted father of 4 years, but I'm very grateful for those 4 years. My partner has had him for all 18 years.

My heart to both of you as you grieve.
