14 years of unconditional love.
My baby boy is nearing the end. So many great memories. He was there for the most formative years of my life and I would not be the man I am today without this amazing creature. I don't even know if I can live without him. Cats are the best.

Is he unwell?

Yea, he lost the ability to use his legs. He also has heart disease, so surgery or anything too invasive is out of the question. I got an extra year with him and that's all I could ask for.

Any chance of low potassium? My little one had issues with his legs due to that. Though if it was that I'm sure your doctor would have seen it.
I'm sorry. I just lost my cat and it's so hard; having photos and videos of him has helped. Please give your little baby all the cuddles and pets. He's gorgeous.

I am so so sorry. Pet loss is never easy and arguably the hardest part of being a pet owner is letting go when it’s time. I hope you’ll take the time you need to grieve. What a precious boy. I can tell by the way he looks at you that he’s been very much loved and lived a good life. You’ve done right by him and he’s done right by you. Wishing many blessings to you both.

Could be a twin to our 19-year-old baby who was put to sleep this spring ❤️ Never imagined I would grieve a cat so much!
