Lost my buddy

Probably the most famous cat ever in the NDL passed away yesterday. My buddy Icus died at 13. He had developed cancer and it had spread into his brain. He could barely walk in the end. My wife and I had to make the decision to put him down so he wouldn’t suffer. I’m not going to BS, hurts like a mother fucker. I raised that cat since he was 6 weeks old.
Since Biffy and the boys like to ask about Icus, I thought I would pass it along.

The last cat we had in this died about 2.5 years ago. Her name was Margie. It sucked. My kids all cried. I'm pretty sure the constant raping she endured at the hands of my dog, who was then a very confused puppy, hastened her demise. I buried her in the backyard.
Of course a year later the kids came running in all excited and said they had found fossils.
It was the Margie.

Sorry to hear that bro, yeah my cat is 18 years old and could go any day now. He has this weird disease where his thyroid goes crazy and even though we feed him twice a day he still is losing weight. I know the day where I wake up and try to wake him up is not going to happen any day now. Luckily he is still pretty active but, I feel for your loss bro!

Sorry to hear of your loss Hoos.
We have a 16 year old Toy Poodle that was my wife's when we met.
He is not doing so good.
Pees all the time, half deaf, half blind and the vet thinks he has cancer too.
I do not think it will be much longer.
And it will be hard as hell for her as she has literally had this dog for half her life ash she is 32 years old.

For the briefest second I got excited thinking you had the Gheorge Muresan of cats. But then I saw this:

yes from what our vet says his metabolism is just like in over drive so we give him this specialized cat food that is supposed to like slow his metabolism down so he can actually absorb the food. We have been giving him it for like 2 years now and it was working good, but now he is losing weight again.
