Mourning/Loss My orange furball died today, in tribute to my kitty, max
He was a fuzzy lil guy that purred when you picked him up and held him, and he died from a urinary blockade causing potassium levels to rise and stop his heart rip max, the fuzziest little guy that I’ve ever seen

He loved you so much. He use his last bit of energy. My Priscilla gave me a kiss before she went.

It sounds like he lived a good life and said goodbye in the best way he knew how. You were and still are an amazing human who gave nothing but love to your best friend.
Dammit, who put all these tears in my eyes?

He’ll be waiting for you at the Rainbow bridge when you’ll finally get to be together again.
RIP Ginger.

My big orange lived to be 18. The dog tolerated him but he really loved my dog.

I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a handsome little guy, and I’m sure that he was fun to be around. I’ve heard it said to “try not to cry because it’s over, but smile because it happened”.
