(16,352 posts)You met the obligation as a loving fur parent. Thats all anyone can ask. When I took our cat for his final moments I stayed with him for a few minutes after. It was a brief moment of reflection of how this cat who seemed to hate me for so long ended up so close to me in the end. He always favored my wife. In his final years we finally came to an understanding, or rather after years of me desperately hoping he would like me, he finally did.
I love cats but cats never have loved me much. Probably because I approach them like I would a dog and cats dont seem to like that very much. Anyway he was s good kitty, and a grouch, which is something I loved about him. I miss him launching himself across the living room to lock his fangs into my bare ankles for reasons we never really could figure out, but make for fun memories of the little shit (said with love and affection).
