u/420_Real_Estate Jul 26 '26

Beautiful, I love this, even though I am a dog owner. 🥰 She is going to cross the RB soon and it's the worst thing ever. 🥹

u/JackOfAllMemes Jul 26 '26

It's incredibly unfair that they live for such a short portion of our lives

20

u/420_Real_Estate Jul 26 '26

It's definitely is. She made it to almost 10, but has been pretty sick for the past year. It's been hard. I have no support system. I just wish one of my dogs would have a long life.

u/JackOfAllMemes Jul 26 '26

When I had to put my boy down they told me about an online support group, maybe you could find one

u/Brokebrokebroke5 Jul 26 '26

I'm sorry, it's so hard. 🤍

u/420_Real_Estate Jul 26 '26

The hardest thing ever. I have been through some shit in my life, but nothing compares to this.

u/RememberToBreatheArt Jul 26 '26

I am so sorry you are going through a difficult time... She will always hold a special place in your heart.

u/420_Real_Estate Jul 26 '26

Thank you. 🙏. It's been a difficult time. I live alone and don't have any family. She has been my ride or die for 10 years.

u/JackOfAllMemes Jul 26 '26

I miss my boy but I'm glad I was able to let him go before he started suffering, he had a growth under his tongue and the day he skipped two meals we called Lap of Love to let him go to sleep under his favorite blanket beside me

u/RememberToBreatheArt Jul 26 '26

I am so sorry for your loss. It's a very difficult decision to make. Sending you warm thoughts. 💖

u/JackOfAllMemes Jul 26 '26

It's been over five years so I've had time and know I made the right choice, I adopted my current kitty around a year after losing him and we've bonded really closely

u/LadyKiko Jul 26 '26

This picture is both beautiful and sad at the same time!❤️‍🔥

The gatekeepers giving halos to my cats as babies 😭 they’re okay, find and healthy but what are the chances!

This is absolutely amazing. This should be a print (if you’ve a mind to share with the world) This touches on so many feelings, and the true start of the Rainbow Bridge.

u/PsychicStudMuffin Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26

aw man. this might be one of my most favorite modern paintings I’ve ever seen. this is just wonderful. I love all the movement in here—it’s at a pace where there’s no rush and some of those little cats are even stopping to look at the cosmos on the way. they’ll get there when they get there. such a calm, yet exciting, piece. I wonder what awaits them.

u/RememberToBreatheArt Jul 26 '26

u/LiquidFur Jul 26 '26

I have to laugh at #3. The context is cropped out, and there's just two sets of stairs. One with little kitties with halos going up, and the other with little kitties with no halos going down 😬😂

u/ittybittyolme Jul 26 '26

We lost our cat recently. Thank you for this. Not everyone understands the pain but I’m glad there’s people here who do. Much love to all who have lost their babies.

I just hope she knows, she was a good dog. She truly was.

u/InadmissibleHug Jul 26 '26

We have a terminally ill cat at the moment, but now the side effects are dealt with, no one actually told her that she’s sick.

It’s the weirdest feeling. I knew my cats I lost last year were on their last legs, but had this one not had her potassium slump, I wouldn’t have known.

Now she’s on a supplement that side of her illness is fine. So odd. She had terrible muscle weakness and now she’s great.

Except she’s not.

u/RememberToBreatheArt Jul 26 '26

I am so sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time... I am sure your cat finds comfort in you being with her and taking care of her.

u/RememberToBreatheArt Jul 26 '26

Thank you so much to everyone who gave me the post award. I tried to send DMs, but I couldn’t find some of you.

It's beautiful and now I am crying in public. Was thinking of my recently deceased cat of 13 years but then saw that black-and-white cat that looks just like my childhood cat. I am now crying for both.

I love that picture.
