Memorial, thanks

[max 330 megafartz]

Go ahead, get wrong. I dont have social media, and i have been under so much stress with work i didn’t plan on coming back here, but here i am. This is a place for the only child i will ever have. Welcome to his grave. If he trusted you, he would love you oh so very much.
Thank you. I wish i could explain the experience of actually having known Garth. He only trusted katie and i, and he was just so very very not meant for this world and when we finally caught him out of the alley and brought him home it only took a month or two before we knew something was not right with him- but in the best way. He had issues - covid isolation didnt help this at all -but his issues were that he was so very very special and afraid of the world. He could only love 1000 percent or fear everything else. We were the lucky 2 people who got to spend the quiet moments with him, and when he was happy he did magic.
I lost my therapist, best friend, favorite cartoon, and superhero role model all at once yesterday.
And my son. The only commitment Ive ever sworn from day one and never faltered on. He was my child. I gave him my all.

Hang in there man.

RIP to a great kitty. Condolences all around man. It's hard saying goodbye to any pet, especially ones who've been with you through thick and thin.

See you on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

condolences my friend, sending much love your way

Sounds like he was a great companion.

Here is to Garth, pouring one out for him.

The sadness will dull over time, and you'll find yourself remembering the good times more often than not, but you'll never really stop missing him. It'll stay with you. But that hurt is good in a way. It means that a part of your soul was touched by him, and forever changed as a result.

Rest in peace, little prince.

Sorry for your loss man. Pets are family. Fuck anyone who says otherwise. I say that with my broken alarm clock of a dog curled up next to me because of a storm.

Quick story: My grandfather had a big personality but was generally kind of a curmudgeon and a misanthrope. WW2 vet, greatest generation tough guy type. However, he had a cat that lasted 16 years that he called "Dummy". The two were inseparable... he protected her from birds of prey (running outside like a crazy person with a tennis racket), fed her table scraps and generally treated her better than he would most of his own family. When the cat finally died, he was in mourning for weeks. He wouldn't answer the phone and when his wife would get calls from the kids seeing if he was okay, he refused to come to the phone because he knew he wouldn't be able to talk about it. Eventually, my mother talked to him and told him how sorry she was and asked if he would ever get another cat. His response (through a cracking voice): "Sweetheart... I'm a one cat guy".

Agreed. Pets are absolutely family. So sorry for your loss, Charley. I'm raising a glass to Garth.

 

[Tron]

Sorry for you're loss i've had my share for having cats as pets as well.I just got myself two cats again last year from a friend and it's very easy to get attached without thinking how long the animal will live.

 

[LoneSage]

Take it easy lil homie. Big homie here thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way.

 

[Moob Butter]

I’m sorry dude. My wife and I had a rescue cat who didn’t trust (read: bit and scratched) anyone who wasn’t us. We had 8 lovely years with that boy. Cats are much more sensitive and feel trauma than most people realise. It’s great that Garth put his trust in you, and you made his short life as happy as possible. (I’m madmanjock btw).

 

[Heinz]

Sorry man that's rough, we're here for you.

 

[GohanX]

Oh no, we loved that little dude.

We actually just had a major health scare with one of our cats last week.

We took him in to the vet since he obviously wasn't feeling well and it turned out he had an infection in one of his kidney's that was likely caused by a UTI. They kept him overnight to pump him full of antibiotics, but his kidney values weren't going down and he wasn't eating/drinking still. It turned out his other kidney had some issues prior so his body wasn't reacting to the antibiotics like they should have.

We honestly didn't think he would make it since he legit looked like death, wasn't eating/drinking, and his values still weren't going down. The wife and I were absolute wrecks and I honestly couldn't tell you how many times I just broke down crying those two days. Luckily on the third day he somehow went right back to his old self and we were able to take him back home. He has a checkup today and it is still unsure if any longterm issues could arise from this, but for now he's home and back to normal.

I've had him since he was 8 weeks old and he's 10 now, so needless to say I know exactly where you're coming from. He is honestly like a son and best friend to me and the idea of him not being there fucked me up real good so I can totally empathize with your loss.

Sorry man...

 

[Neodogg]

It always sucks losing a good boy, always here for you.

not to be a Dougie Downer, I hope you dug the grave deeper than that photo.

 

[HornheaDD]

Ah man, Im so sorry for your loss. I unfortunately know the pain of losing a furry member of the family. Not a pet. A member of the family.

I lost my Neo in 2020. He was 15, polydactyl (he had real thumbs!) and he was super smart. Taught himself fetch, loved me and wife and absolutely despised everyone else. People always thought of him as an ornery old codger even as a kitten. And he was, but not with mom and dad. I lost him suddenly. Took him in to get a tooth pulled, dropped him off in the morning and he was so upset. I promised him showers of treats and snuggles at home when we came to get him that afternoon. They called me at around noon that day, they found cancer in his tongue, which explained what was going on with him and what made us take him in. I had to make the decision to put him down and I had just started a new job, 2nd day so I couldn't leave to be with him.

I still hate myself. The last thing he saw was me abandoning him and he was all alone, and put to sleep by people he didnt know.

I know the pain man. Hang in there. It hurts. But hang in there.

 

[Tung Fu ru]

Sorry for your loss, Charlie. I know you loved that cat so much. RIP

 

[wataru330]

You both were good to Garth. You’ll be good to each other, as you persevere thought this dark time.

I’m truly sorry for your loss.

 

[Neo Alec]

My condolences. I'm not a pet person at all myself, @max 330 mega, but I mean it when I say if Garth was your child and part of your family, that is absolutely valid, and you have my deepest sympathy for what you're going through. Stay strong.

 

[Tarma]

My condolences... We've got four little furry fuckers in our house, and I don't even want to contemplate what it would do to me if I lost any of them.

Maybe with the passage of time you'll be able to let another into your life. He or she may not fill the void of Garth, but they may help you feel a whole lot better.

Can't imagine my life without a little furry friend sitting on me first thing in the morning demanding to be fed!

 

[Beelzebub]

I'm so sorry for your loss, it's so hard when a pet passes, as they're a part of your family. You gave him a warm caring home, which is something you can be proud of. <3

 

[Taiso]

All my condolences to you and Katie. This sort of thing is never easy and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Pets depend on us so much that they become family as well. Our fur-ever children. Much love and sympathy.

 

[Fygee]

Sorry for your loss man. Losing a pet is always tough, especially when they're an amazing cat. I'm a cat daddy myself so I totally get how you're feeling right now.

 

[NeoSneth]

wrecked me when my 18 year old passed. Sorry to hear about your loss.
No children in my house, so we get very attached to these pets.

My current 9 year feline old isn't doing great, but I'm hopeful we will find something to help.

 

[fake]

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for your service, Garth. We weren't worthy.
