After 18 years, had to say good bye...

[modo22]

On Monday I had to let go of one of my best friends of 18 years!! 18 years, that is just nuts...thats basically half my life! Figi was not a normal cat, this guy (all 17 lbs of him) would sit on the couch with me watching football on Sundays and while I smoked a cigar he would try to eat all the BBQ chips off my plate. I don't care if you are a cat or dog person, when you have a furry friend with you for 18 years, it makes a huge impact. He was just another dude to hang with. In 18 years I went through some huge life changes and lessons...but he was always there by me to make sure I knew he was all that existed apparently... Not to mention he moved with me 5 times across 4 states!

I have lost before, but that didn't make it easier and as Figi hit age 17, I knew this day was coming at some point...I just never wanted it to.

So sorry to hear. Losing fur family is really tough....been there with dogs over the years. Try to think of the good times, sounds like there were many.

Sucks Ben! I don’t trust people who say “They’re just animals!” I like my fur family way more than most people I meet these days.
