anyone else’s cat have allergies?
my guy always seems to get itchy as the seasons change. he will scratch his ear so hard the back of it bleeds and i have to put him in his donut cone until it heals. he does also get a lot of ear infections/dirty ear that i maintain by cleaning as needed and special drops when it is bad, but he will still itch.

i think his eyes get really itchy, and thats another place he itches until he bleeds, right on his brow. i put some pictures but im not sure if u can see the red around his eyes, and he will also headbutt my hand or certain things with his face, almost like he is trying to itch it.

tldr: itchy eyes and ear, allergies?

Its nearing the end 🥲
Wow this snuck up on me and i am deeply struggling.

My sweet baby Genie has had intermittent vomiting for a few months now. We took her to the vet in late April because it was getting too frequent. The vet gave her some meds which helped for a while but a few nights ago she unfortunately threw up blood and we took her in to the emergency vet at 3am. After xrays and ultrasound, we discovered she unfortunately has a large tumor in her intestinal wall and the vet thinks its lymphoma.
Which would explain the consistent vomitting, weight loss, and lack of appetite, the blood was a result of irritation in the stomach/esophagus due to repeated vomiting.

We’re now on 2 new daily medications, one to help her appetite and one to help inflammation and stop vomiting.
Her goals are to stop vomiting, and to gain weight or start eating more regularly.
We will be going back to the vet in 2 weeks, and after her ultrasound and the vet was explaining the tumor and prognosis to us, she gave a rough estimate of 2-3 months with the treatments.
That was shocking and i dont want to believe it but i fear my baby girl is giving me the signs and looks like maybe it might just be a few more weeks.

She is usually incredibly independent, loves exploring and playing alone during the nights but she has been sleeping right next to me. I woke up to hear her making small little groans this morning.

I hate to think she is experiencing a lot of pain. Luckily she hasnt thrown up since the vet, but the new medication gave her diarrhea and i had to clean her butt this morning which she was not happy about.
Its so freaking hard to know where the line is and conceptualize when the last day might be.
She hates taking pills or getting syringes of liquid medicine, and its so hard to want to help but also to know how much it sucks to have to take medicine when you dont want to, or deal with the side effects making you feel icky.

Its been really tough and im worried i wont know when she is ready to go. But i know she will tell me even though i am not ready to let her go.
My heart is like breaking. I just want her to have a comfortable last few weeks. Pet loss and preemptive grief is so so soooo hard.

She has been the sweetest most gentle loving cat ive ever met.
She meows back and will always come out of hiding or playing or nappy to greet me when i come home.
She loves to sit on her toys and watch the birds on the feeder and birdbath out the window by her cat tree.

Thanks for reading 🤍 sending love to all of you with aging or ill pets out there.

🚨 I never thought I'd ask this, but... would you forgive someone who gave away your cat?

My sister was watching my cat while I was out of town for 10 days. Everything seemed fine. She sent photos, updates, and told me he was doing great.

When I got home, she sat me down and told me she had rehomed him.

Her reason? She said he "deserved a better life" because I work too much and she found a family with kids and a big house.

I was completely shocked.

She never asked me. Never discussed it. Never gave me a choice.

I've had this cat for 7 years. He was with me through a divorce, two moves, and some of the hardest years of my life.

She keeps saying she was trying to help and that I should be grateful because he's "happier now."

I honestly don't care how good the new home is.

The fact that someone could make that decision for me feels unforgivable.

My family is split. Some say she crossed a massive line. Others say I should focus on what's best for the cat and move on.

Maybe I'm too emotional, but I can't imagine trusting her again after this.

What would you do if someone rehomed your cat without your permission? 🐱💔

Almost 21 years not even close to enough
I got Cleo back in 2005, when I was living on my own, long before my husband, long before kids. She has been there for all of it: every move, every new chapter, every big moment. She was there when we brought both babies home, quietly asserting that she was still the one in charge, and honestly, she was right.

Cleo was not the kind of cat who settled for sitting beside you when sitting on you was an option. She would headbutt her way into your hand and demand to be petted, pawing at you or crying out the moment you stopped, as if to say, "I didn't say you were done." And you were never done. She made sure of that.

My brown cow. The old lady of the house. She has patiently taught every cat and dog that passed through our lives how things work around here. She has been a constant,warm, insistent, hilarious, and deeply, thoroughly loved.

Her kidneys had been giving her trouble for a few years, and she had been on a special diet and blood pressure medication, fighting hard and still charming everyone who came near her. But her little body was finally ready to rest, and we couldn't ask her to keep going just for us.

I will miss her more than words can say. The house is already quieter in a way that hurts.

Lost my old baby today 😞
Just one month short of 19 years old. I’ve had Pringle half my life. My whole adult life. This hurts so much! He was a strong kitty. Renal disease, seizures, and arthritis. He fought real hard for years and we did everything we could but it finally got the best of him. Idk what to do. I’m just so sad now. He was the sweetest kitty. Loved to cuddle and greeted any stranger he met. Wish there was more I could’ve done 😞.

Goodbye, Lucky. Thank you for 18 wonderful years.
Hello everyone.

I wish you all a good day. To be honest, I don't really know how to begin this or how to properly put my feelings into words. Today, I lost my best friend, my companion of 18 years. I wanted to write this both to honor his memory and to pour my heart out. In a way, I want to leave a small piece of him on the internet so that he will never be forgotten.

This handsome gentleman's name was Şans, which means "Lucky" in Turkish.

We gave him that name 18 years ago on a rainy day. By pure chance, he ran up to my sister, attached himself to her, and with a spontaneous decision she brought him home. He was lucky compared to many cats living outside, but the truth is that we were the lucky ones.

Over the years, he made us laugh, kept us company, and taught us what unconditional love looks like. I still remember the arguments we had with our family when he first arrived. We all lived together back then. My grandmother didn't want him, my father wasn't thrilled about the idea, and my sister and I, still children at the time, begged until everyone finally agreed. We spent 18 wonderful years with this sweet boy, and every moment with him was, just like his name, a blessing.

He had always been a healthy cat with very few problems. Some of you may remember that about a week ago I noticed that something wasn't right and came here looking for advice. Many of you tried to help and sent kind wishes. Thank you for that. I made sure he received all of your love, and for your sake, I gave him extra affection as well.

A few hours after I made that post, his condition became worse. He could barely stand. Deep down, I think we already knew what was coming.

My mother thought we should keep him at home because she feared the stress of a veterinary visit might be too much for him and that he deserved to spend his final moments in a familiar and peaceful place. We talked about it together, and I felt that taking him to the veterinarian was the right thing to do. The next day we took him there immediately.

Maybe my mother was right.

While the veterinarians were trying to help him, his condition worsened and he ultimately lost the brave battle he had been fighting. The doctors told us that it was due to his age and kidney failure. Sometimes I wonder if I should have listened to my mother and let him stay home. I honestly don't know. What I do know is that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life asking myself, "What if?"

Maybe this was kinder than a slow and painful decline. Maybe he left this world with dignity. Yet I still find myself blaming myself sometimes.

Afterward, we brought his body home.

We don't live in a house with a garden, so burying him ourselves wasn't really an option. I thought about finding a place for him, but I kept worrying about things like heavy rain or stray dogs disturbing where he would rest. There are private pet cemeteries here, but they were far beyond what I could afford, especially after the veterinary expenses.

In the end, I chose to have him buried in a municipal pet cemetery. It is a shared resting place, but I hope it is better than nothing.

I'm sorry, my best friend. I'm sorry that I couldn't do more. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you something grander. If I disappointed you in any way, I hope you can forgive me.

As I sat beside you during those long nights, petting you and keeping you company, I always told you the same thing:

I love you, and I am proud of you.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for coming into our lives. Thank you for letting us love you. Even my grandmother, who once opposed keeping you, cried when you passed away. We all cried.

I hope you are somewhere peaceful now.

You were always a wonderful friend to us. If I ever failed to be the friend you deserved, please forgive me.

I love you more than words can express.

When I found this community, I met many people who had also lost beloved companions or were facing difficult times with their pets. Maybe a part of me already knew what was coming. I remember thinking that if he ever had to leave, and if he was only holding on for our sake despite being tired and in pain, then perhaps all the beloved pets waiting beyond this life would welcome him with love.

I'm a grown man now, but for some reason I still want to believe that they're all somewhere happy.

My friend was incredibly sweet, and honestly, a little goofy-looking sometimes. I'm sure he would get along wonderfully with all of your beloved companions.

Rest peacefully, my dear friend.

I love you so, so much.

Goodbye, Lucky.

Thank you for taking the time to read about him.

My best friends time has come.
I'm heartbroken my boy Igor's health has taken a turn for the worse. And the vet says we should probably play a day for him to make his crossing. I have known this cat since he was two days old and brought him home in my freshman year of high school at eight weeks. He helped me through some of the hardest times of my life, and now I have to go through the hardest yet without him. I just wanted to share some pictures of my wonderful boy Igor. I love you buddy.

Not my cat
This is Coconut. He is NOT my cat.

I live in an apartment building inside a gated community. One day, I thought I heard a baby crying in the hallway. I opened my door and found this gentleman sitting on my doormat.

He then casually walked into my apartment as if he owned the place.

My 14 y/o boy crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday, and my heart is pulverized.
Imagine never having lost anyone you loved in all your 32 years, and then losing none other than the most perfect kind of love you’ve ever felt. That’s how it was for me and Rudy. I had never had to go through loss before, and here I am now, mourning my baby boy.

When he was about to be put to sleep at home, I almost stopped the vet to ask her to please put me to sleep first, as I held him alive until my end. Then she could do it to him, so we could both leave together and never have to go through the feeling of losing each other.

I still feel like I want to go wherever he is and stay there. I can’t picture life without my Rudy.

Imagine constantly feeling like life may not be worth its price before you have even lost anyone, and then losing someone and feeling like it confirms it. I don’t want to be here. I miss Rudy.

I want everyone to know he existed, and he was perfect.

Toulouse - my little brother and soul - 03/2010 - 03/06/2026
I’m sorry I can’t go together with you. March 2009 you came into this world, sadly your mom passed away giving birth to you but you were strong and survived. Begin of May we got the message you were ready to come to your forever family. Super excited Mom, dad and I got into the car and picked you up, I remember that day, super tiny and adorable you came with us back home. Back then we had also another cat but she didn’t like you and was always angry at you, but that didn’t bother me since you decided you wanted to stay with me, the first night you slept with me was more you playing and me trying to sleep until you decided to come in my arms and we slept. Years passed by and I left the house to pursue my own life, I feel guilty to have left you, but I knew that if I had taken you with me you would be happy, you would have exchanged life living in big open spaces and a big hunting ground for a small apartment in a big city. But each time I visited mom and dad, I remember you would be mad to see me, it was your way to tell me, where were you? Why didn’t you come home earlier. But after a few minutes you would just jump onto me, and ask for the cuddles. You always gave me so much love. And I’m so grateful. I remember when mom and dad moved to Spain, they first had a house in a small community, and you really didn’t like it, too much cars, too much people but each time I was there you would just stay with me. Sleep next to me. I loved those moments. When corona happened, a lot changed. At first I was only staying for 2 weeks, but that changed into 3 months, work allowed me to work fully remote and each day when I was working you would come and cuddle with me for hours while I was working. After that you moved together with mom and dad to a new place, a place with a lot of space and a garden where you could enjoy life again, you were so happy. I remember the day I came for the first time to the new house, how mad you once again were, for a whole week you would walk away when you saw me. But when I had to go back home, I remember mom telling me, he is searching for you, he goes to your room and cries. I took another holiday and when I arrived you came right away to me and started to climb my leg, I grabbed you and we started cuddling. Oh that smile you had on your face made me melt. You spend each moment I was there with me. Even following me to the toilet like I was not allowed any privacy. My dear boy, I love you so much. When tragedy hit our family, I decided I didn’t want to live anymore far away from you or dad. But before I moved you and dad came to my place for a month, everything went fine until our way back to your home with the car. After the car accident I remember grabbing you out of the wreckage on the highway. I still remember your expression. In panic look at me asking to explain you what just happened. But luckily you had nothing broken and you were safe. After I finally closed my chapter in the Netherlands, I was everyday with you. Everyday when I was with you, you would come to me and sleep close to me, while I was working you would jump on my desk and just be behind my screens or come and sit on my lap until my first meeting. Months passed like that, it became our routine. But 1 month ago after I came back from my work trip, I saw you were drooling. It felt something was wrong, we went to the vet and it went from a gingivitis to a tumor. Due to your age the surgery and radiotherapy was too dangerous. Maria our vet, told us we could try to give you medication in the hope you would recover, at first it seemed to be working. But last week you got weaker and weaker, to the point our routine was no longer there. Today I see you and I’m scared our appointment at the vet will be the last one. That it’s time for you to go on a new adventure where I can’t follow, when you cross the rainbow bridge, mom will wait for you. She will tell you how an amazing little boy you are, and that your big brother will join you in the future.
Toulouse, thank you for the wonderful years we spend together, you were not just a cat, you were my little brother, my soulmate, you loved me with your whole heart and more. I’m sorry I moved away for so long and I hope you can forgive me that I wasn’t there for a part of your life. I will miss you, I will be heartbroken, but I don’t want you to suffer. You are and will always be my little love, my Toulouse, my Toulousy-boy. Sleep tight and please come and greet me when my time has come to cross the rainbow bridge.
