Mourning/Loss My son Mr.Patches crossed the rainbow bridge this morning.

He stood out as the only male pet in a house of 4 other female cats and a dog and stood out in personality just as much. He was cuddly, squeaky, goofy, and above all else, loved so very much.

He passed after a brief and sudden illness after a painfully short 4 years of getting zoomies while under the couch, standing on your face whenever he wanted attention, and hiding in cupboards.

When we found you behind the trash cans that night you were just a few months old. You were so small and playful, even when your new sisters didn't care for the extra company. You were fixed as soon as you could and blew up like a chubby balloon and yet still found a way to squeeze into the strangest places. While you may have known your name it was hardly ever what we called you, bubs, bubby, patchy, mr.boy, mr.poops, and wittle mans. Your mommies will miss you, your Daddy will miss you, and your kid will miss you so so so much bubs.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. 🐾❀️ A good cat leaves paw prints on our souls that time can never erase. Rest peacefully, sweet boy 🌈🐱

So sorry for your loss. Mr Patches would have known how much you loved him, and that would have brought him a great deal of peace when he passed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cats are such magnanimous creatures and just incredible all around. As are the connections we have with them. The pleasure of being chosen by one is unparalleled and the pain in loss proves the depth of the bond. I hope that you feel better soon. Thank you for sharing pictures of your boy. Lots of us have loved ones already on the other side. I’m certain they all welcomed Mr. Patches with love and open arms.
