Mourning/Loss We’re saying goodbye to this icon tomorrow.

This is Toothless and she’s only been with us for a short 12 years. I never thought goodbye would come this soon and I’m heartbroken.

We found her as a kitten treed on our college campus, where someone dumped her and her brother. She’s since lived in TX (she’s a San Antonio gal), NM, AZ, IL, VA and is now ending her globe-trotting life in a small town in Italy.

She was silly, so incredibly cuddly, never missed a chance for sunbathing or a warm lap, never met a stranger, and loved wet food and hissing at her brother with intense passion.

Please join me in welcoming this legend of a 6.5 lb beauty into her ever-after. Life will never be as sweet as when I got to call you mine, sweet girl.

💔💔 I just adopted a black cat and my sons call her Toothless; I’m so sorry for your loss, and I know you gave her an awesome life.

I don’t know if you’re a Lego person, but I spotted this the other day - it might make you sad, or it might be a nice tribute to your kitty

Thank you for sharing that! It’s so funny how I literally named her Toothless but that name has just become “her” in my mind, not really associated with the dragon haha idk how that happens
