#cat death tw

also some very sad news: Misty declined very rapidly over the last two days. Yesterday she stopped eating entirely. We considered upping her prednisolone to see if it could knock her lymphoma back, but her vet was very... not optimistic about her chances. At the most, we would have had her for another few weeks and they wouldn't have been happy weeks.

So we said goodbye today to this very plucky Persian who's single goal in life was to find a comfy place to sleep, a plastic spring to chase, and another cat to cuddle. She had a very simple life and we were lucky enough to be a part of it, even if it was only for a short portion of her journey.

See you on the next go around, Misty <3

Rest in peace, Alice

2017-2024

On Saturday my cat Alice suddenly started acting weird, not eating or drinking. We took her to the vet and later to a pet emergency center where they found out she had liquids in her lungs and heart issues.

They managed to stabilize her at first but tonight her condition had gotten worse and she eventually passed away.

I'm gonna miss her.

My kitty was not real and never existed. She died in the book I was reading and I cried.

How's your cat doing? (only if you want to share, no pressure at all) My cat and I are sending your kitty and yourself healing purrs if wanted <3

(typing this on my phone in the passenger seat of a car, will edit any grammar mistakes later)

I appreciate the well wishes very very much <3 unfortunately, he's not doing so well. It's unfortunate, but we are gonna have to get him euthanized in the upcoming days. He's around 16-17 years old at minimum (might even be older) so it wasn't entirely unexpected, but unfortunate nonetheless. He's just got some anti-pain and anti-nausea medication so he won't be in pain and we will be spending a lot of time with him until then.

If anyone would like, I could post some pictures of him

17 years is still too few. I miss you so much and the house feels so empty. I can't stop looking for you even though I know you're not there. RIP Devious.

As a follow up from before, do you ever get cats returned to you? Have you ever had one stay with you permanently? (Thnx for answering my questions!)

Oh yeah, it happens from time to time. Like I had a guy return a 5 month old kitten for being 'too active'--- guy then asked after the 3 month old bengal/savannah kittens I had up for adoption.

And let's see... Phoebe is VERY memorable. I got her during the fires in 2020. I was one of the people sent into the fire zone to look for missing pets and I got two cats out. One of those cats was Phoebe, adopted in 2021.

She came back in early 2023 due to health problems. She was ultimately diagnosed with a sort of brain tumor. We kept her comfortable until it was her time.

Roomba is another returned adoptee who became a resident. Her owners couldn't deal with her separation anxiety (which is completely fair; her separation anxiety is VERY extreme. She was literally spending 8+ hours a day just screaming). Now she lives at work where she's literally never alone.

the only thing i've ever truly hated about arcane as an entirely personal gripe is the brief scene in the very first episode when the cat dies. it's not even related to the plot or characters themselves, just an emotional trigger of mine. of course it was never enough to drive me away, but i do wish the fandom would tag it whenever mentioned so that i could know to avoid.

i've learned to prepare for it coming in the iconic "rasputin" edit on youtube @ 1:21

it's just that i'm an avid cat lover who owns multiple, so seeing that gives me a physical response. that being said, i know often media is meant to make people feel uncomfortable and that means it's doing its purpose with the story trying to be told. as the saying goes, certain portrayals in media are meant to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed.

everyone who knows me knows im a horror gore graphic dark shit etc guy but sometimes i remember that one mob psycho fic that described the cat that dies in the manga mogami arc in the most gruesome graphic detail imaginable for like 3 paragraphs and its just so stupid to me. like it was so over the top it stopped being upsetting and just started being kind of annoying

like, the cat dies in the manga offscreen and then is shown in a wide shot with a little pool of blood. and then it gets back up because its the mogami arc. hell even just the implication in the anime that they'll kill the cat is upsetting enough to get the point across even if they dont go through with it. how cheap a fic writer are you that you have to describe a cat being beaten and its intestines being out and blood everywhere to express that "bullies killing a cat in front of a kid" is upsetting

does bullying and abuse have to be some needlessly graphic serial killer shit to be meaningful? god

The problem with having that once in a lifetime special soulmate kitty bond with a less common breed and coloring of cat, is having your heart shattered into tiny pieces of despair and useless longing whenever you see a pic of one of that less common coloring/breed. When it's a more common coloring you don't do a double take every single time because not every cat that looks like that is him to you.

normally 'i am giving this character a cat' is silly & sweet and fun but not tonight. tonight i am giving Frankie a cat and he will love that cat and he will adopt her at what he thought was 4 years old because thats what the adoption centre said, but later he thinks that she was actually older and she will get a kidney failure 3 years later when he's 11 and he wont know until she's already in pain and barely eating and he and Lance will try for months to do what the doctor said, to give her red meat instead of cat food because she has low iron but eventually it will prove fruitless and there was no way to save her because theres no cure for kidney failures and Frankie will be given the choice of if they should put her down or not, and his older brother who had moved out will take her to the vet while Frankie stays home because he didnt want to see her die, and he regrets that decision when he's older, and Lance doesnt clean out her food bowl so the meat is just left there to get green, and eventually Frankie does it, and now the mention of a kidney makes him flinch, and he thinks it doesnt effect him that much and he gets a new cat and he loves her and everything is okay but then he gets a different cat and he's the exact opposite to his first one. he's young and playful and big and white and meows so much and at that point everything crashes down and he KNOWS that she's gone and she's been gone for years but now it's REALLY hitting and he's only 14 and then he's older and again he says it doesnt effect him until one day it does and suddenly he's crying to May about that little cat that his mother told him was less likely to get adopted because she was older and black and that same little cat that was immediately affectionate with him, even though she was said to be not very affectionate, but she immediately loved HIM, and after that he's calling Lance and his cats are both alive and healthy and safe but some nights he cant shake the feeling that one of them will get sick, and it will be a kidney failure, and it will all happen again, and again, and again

Yesterday my older cat Victoria passed away. She was 12 and battling cancer, which we didn't know about. Rest in peace, my little angel. Love you forever 💚

Hey so not an ask. But a post for cat owners to help keep their loved one safe. I'm sorry that it's a bit dark, but I prefer making people uncomfortable then making them suffer because I didn't say anything. https://www.tumblr.com/leviathans-3/761192690717278208/reblog-with-my-alt-this-is-a-mod-post-but-i?source=share

It's a link so you can ignore it if you want but I advise that you don't. It's with my alt because I'm trying to make sure it's seen by anyone who may need it.

TW for pet death

This is horrible, but very important that people see this, thank you for sharing this with me
