3 days ago he passed away. We only realize now how much he was integrated into our daily routine. Our friends all have cats because of this guy. Friendly, talkative, cuddly, needed to be in the middle of any conversation, and last but not least a single cell dumbass. Seeing him pass away at the vet is the one most horrible moment I have ever experienced.
Next week he will be cremated and I hope we have him back with us soon. Part of his ashes will be placed in the field he was born, not far from where we live.

Cats generally live longer than dogs, but it’s still too short. That was a good lifespan, and sounds like it was a happy one for him and you. I’ve been through a lot of those vets visits, and they hit hard every time. But as long as you have those good memories, he’s still around.
Yes it was a good time we had, we even shared the same birthday. He was most attached to my wife though. Mama’s boy.
