I just got back inside from burying him. I put him in the yard near the deck so I'll always know where he is and I can visit him.

He was my best friend and the best cat you could ever ask for. Not a mean bone in his entire body. He never bit, scratched or growled. He was a cuddle bug right up until yesterday when he came and kneaded on me before bed last night.

We got him back in 2012 from a petsmart. Originally we planned on getting another cat but Wolfie won us over, he just looked so cute in his cage lying on his back. I remember the other cat jumping on him.

He loved butter and anything diary and would always pester me when I was having milk or cheese. Just 2 weeks ago he jumped up on the counter and took shredded cheese out of a bag.

He always had health problems. When he was young we had to have his teeth pulled due to infection. And his stomach had always bothered him. I wonder if that played a role in his death.

I was with him at the end giving him pets as I watched him take his final breaths.

I love you my little peanut head and hope to see you again someplace better when I pass on to.

    very sad news, hit me a few times today, we can hope to give our pets the best life possible, I don't think he could have had a better caretaker until the end, if it has to happen then at least he knew you were there with him

    He was beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss, comrade. He sounds a lot like my own little boy, with his love of cheese, health problems, and very long limbs kitty-cri

    Been thinking about him on and off throughout the day since I saw your post earlier and I could not think of anything to say until now that could even begin to address it, am so sorry for what you must be going through :(

    It obviously brought you so much joy having Wolfie in your life and I know he felt the same about you. We may take care of animals and call them pets, but it just doesn't describe the literally outsized relationships we develop with them. Really, we are mutual life-companions and miss them so, so dearly when they're gone. I didn't know him except for the pictures and the little stories you would share with us but even I'm crying rn, he sounds like such a sweet and silly cat ;w;

    I'm glad that when his time was up, he got to leave our world in the company of his best friend ;w;

    meow-hug

    Hopefully he's with biggs now, I will remember them both ;w;

    I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a special guy, and your bond with him comes through clearly in your writing. I know he passed on in the most comfortable manner possible with his best friend right there with him.

    Again, I am sorry for your loss. meow-hug

    I've long adored the pictures you've posted and even the mentions of him in many of your comments. Your relationship with Wolfie/Mr. Softie has reminded me of my own relationship with my best friend in this world, and I always appreciated when you'd share little bits about it with us. So thank you for that, and thanks to Mr. Softie wherever he is. I'm so sorry he's gone and I'm sorry for how painful that is and will be. Take care of yourself, comrade.
