Had to say goodbye to my old dog, Dino, on Friday.
We got him from the shelter about 8 years ago. He was already an adult, somewhere between 4 and 8 years old.
He had issues but he was a good boy and he’d have died to protect me.

Pets never last long enough. Nicole had a good comment on that this morning, which I know you saw.
It’s the great tragedy for humans that our lives are so much longer than our pets’, but I guess it’s a great blessing for our pets; that they never have to know a single moment without you.
You made a merciful decision for Boss Cat, and better for him to go out quickly rather than wondering why he was in decline. Even while it will be so hard for you, because very little warning. My condolences.

I’m so sorry- what an amazing looking kitty… He’ll be waiting for you…
Thanks for putting this up. This is his second time on the FP. Anne Laurie had done a series on rescue pets in 2010 or 2011 IIRC and she had featured my write up about both Yogi (boss cat) and Inji (Ginger cat)
I’m so sorry, no matter what the circumstances it’s hard to lose them. Even if you know you’re doing the right thing, it’s hard to do, especially when it happens so suddenly. {{{{hugs}}}}
He went downhill in a week. Before that he had never had a sick day in his life. His renal tumor was inoperable. And he had a stroke yesterday, his hind legs had stopped working. I asked the second vet about dialysis and surgery. But it was too late.
He was feisty till the end. When I sat down next to him this morning all weepy, he just walked away wobbly legs and all to another room because he didn’t like that gushing. And after I had quietened down, he came back to just sit next to me
He was my kitteh, always there to lend a paw. He would sleep on my shoulder every night. There to wipe my tears when I was down and out. I am going to miss him like hell. We had him since he was feisty bity kitten of 6 months. He was quite a jumper.
@Jay: Yep, me too, so tired of loss. Today at work I signed yet another sympathy card for yet another co-worker. We’ve had a lot of those the past couple of years, plus everything else.
He sounds like quite a guy! It sounds like he exited on his own terms and in his own way. I am sorry for your loss.

Darn. Why can’t our dogs and cats live as long as we do?
We just lost our 19yo Italian Greyhound a little over a month ago, so understand what a hole their passing leaves in your life and heart. Alas, the sad day when you must escort your cat or dog over the Rainbow bridge is an inevitable consequence of that happy day when you welcomed that kitten, puppy, or older rescue into your life.

@schrodingers_cat: When I lost my first feline overlord 18 years ago I was in shock at how upset I was – even more than the loss of my dad just a couple of months before ( I think their deaths were related in that way). I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Schrodinger cat – such a beautiful creature. I’m on my third rescue feline overlord (actually first overlady) now – but each departure is so heartbreaking. Keep that kitteh in your heart – make a little room for another one – the room will get bigger – the old room will mysteriously stay the same size.
On one of the threads yesterday someone commented that he/she hadn’t had a cat since 2006 because the loss of pets just got too hard. I guess that’s me, my last cat crossed in 2010. I planned on taking a pet hiatus until 2015 but here it is 2021 and no cat.
Also, Boss Cat looks like my childhood cat that ended up as my Mom’s cat when I went off to college. His name was Schroeder, kind of like your nym. Boss and Schro…live in our hears forever.

They don’t ask for much and give far more. They are pals friends and companions. And the hardest thing is, we have to let loved ones go when it’s their time.
I had a “boss cat” myself who loved nothing so much as going out to hunt the doves which came out to eat the grass seed in her yard (to which she had a cat door). She’d be sitting next to me in bed during weekend mornings when we’d hear the doves settling down and she’d give me this look “you know I love you BUT THE PREY IS LANDING NOW” and off she’d go….

My deepest condolences on the passing of your Boss Cat. It’s clear that he was well loved and lived a happy life with his family, and that’s what really matters. Our Boss Cat (I call him Buff Cat) turns 10 this fall and while he’s still the picture of health, we know that every day brings us closer to the day we wish would never come.
Love hurts but memories ease the pain. Remember the good times, may they cross your mind at random times and bring a smile to your face.
@HRA: He had more emotional intelligence than many humans, me included. He would start crying if husband kitteh or I ever raised our voices at each other.
As if he was saying, stop it you two.

The Lodger
I can see the signs he was a great cat. Sorry he’s gone.
SWMBO has to refile, every few years, to keep her Metis status. In the move, we lost her documents. Her Mom re sent them, they arrived yesterday, and we read them late last night, kinda drunky, and with new eyes since last time.
Along with a bunch of Government and Church documents, documenting genealogy, there were a bunch of documents referencing her family, from various Indian Agents, (Officers of the Crown), mostly about how they were going to strip status from her family, these Half Breeds, as they call them in official documents, send the kids into foster care, and seize the 180 acre family farm and sell it off.
I put up an empty chair on the wall, with a red shawl, for the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Children, with orange children’s shoes, for the 215 T’kumloops Sestewimec childrens graves, and then, because the T’swassen and Musqueam people commute to our store, because they don’t have to deal with racism,
I had to deal with Aunties and Uncles breaking down in the store, when they saw the memorial.
SC, I wanted to read the past threads to see the full story so I wouldn’t have to ask for a re-hash, but now this thread is quite old I see. I hope you come back and revisit so that I may add my condolences. (i’m the one who wrote the guest post back in January when my senior cat– NOT the boss cat tho!– was showing signs he’d be on his way out. And he did indeed pass two days later.) It is so hard, and so sad, but also I have been finding, so comforting to know you have done all you can for your beloved. 19 years was indeed an amazing innings. Boss Kitteh will never be replaced, but I hope his memory will continue to be a blessing to you and all the Family Kitteh. Sending love and strength to you all.

@schrodingers_cat: Wonderful description of your Yogi / Boss Cat. It’s made it very dusty here. They’re all so different. I’m beginning to feel that the ones that we bring here who are feral but learn to trust (mostly manage) us hoomins are the most amazing but then I remember the ones who arrived at six weeks. We’ve got two who include “nutty rocket kat” who is learning to meow and purr, and “anxious partly crippled orange” who is our Golden Temple Lion guarding the gate and learning that rocket kat just wants to play. Rocket Kat is mine and Temple Lion is my partner’s much like Boss Cat was yours. May your memories carry him forward.
Thanks so much for all your thoughts and wishes. You have all been a great help.
This is what I wrote about Yogi aka Boss Tweed aka Boss Cat on my blog in 2013. Made me bawl all over again
Good Old fashioned Lover Boy
Yogi, also known as Boss Tweed. He is a ruler of everything he surveys. He is beautiful and imperious and also quite a lover boy. He loves to sleep draped over my shoulder every night so that his paws rest on my shoulder and his head is nestled between my face and neck. It is like having a purring furry scarf around your neck, great in the winter but not so great in the summer. He is a climber, loves to perch on top of tall bookcases and kitchen cabinets and keep a watchful eye over all the proceedings. He loves catnip, wheat grass, shrimp, raw beef and non-fat yogurt. He does not like vacuum cleaners and trips to the vet. Will sing for fresh fish.

@schrodingers_cat: Wonderful description of your Yogi / Boss Cat. It’s made it very dusty here. They’re all so different. I’m beginning to feel that the ones that we bring here who are feral but learn to trust (mostly manage) us hoomins are the most amazing but then I remember the ones who arrived at six weeks. We’ve got two who include “nutty rocket kat” who is learning to meow and purr, and “anxious partly crippled orange” who is our Golden Temple Lion guarding the gate and learning that rocket kat just wants to play. Rocket Kat is mine and Temple Lion is my partner’s much like Boss Cat was yours. May your memories carry him forward.

@badgirl: My favorite niece sent me a card when I lost my beloved kitty soulmate. It said:
It was so lovely that I framed it!

Thanks so much for all your thoughts and wishes. You have all been a great help.
This is what I wrote about Yogi aka Boss Tweed aka Boss Cat on my blog in 2013. Made me bawl all over again
