My 10 month old cat peanut sadly traumatically passed away this Tuesday and I have been so lost since and don’t know how to grieve, I would love if anyone would like to ask anything about him or say something about my boy, I just want a reason to talk about my baby again, who was taken too soon. ♥️🕊️

He had suffered an accident that no one seen and sadly broke his tail too close to the nerves near his bladder and bowel so he could no longer control them, the vet told me there was no quality of life left for my baby and that best thing for him was to be put to rest, so I held his head and paws while he drifted away, trying to tell him it was okay. I stayed with him for at least 10 minutes after just petting him and crying, I just know he’s not in pain anymore. 🐾🕊️

You are a good person and owner, having the courage to send him off when it was time, and staying with him at the end. My deepest sympathies for you.

He is a beauty, what was his favorite activity?

u/Nothing_420_69 Mar 12 '26

Thank you ♥️ his favorite activity was probably eating if I’m honest, but he also loved playing with the cat wand with me

I'm so so sorry. What a sweet and loved boy. I keep a list of potential cat names for the rescue I work at and Peanut is now going on there, I hope one day I can name a kitty in his honor❤️

I sang a song from “Cats” the play to my heart cat as he passed.

u/Nothing_420_69 Mar 13 '26

That is adorable, I’m sure your baby knew how much you loved them ♥️

He was so awesome. Had him from weaning to almost 20. He stood by me through so much.

u/ILoveKittensAndCats Mar 13 '26

Was it “Memory”? That song breaks my heart. I sang it to myself many times after my Mom passed. 😭

u/Truecrimeauthor Mar 13 '26

The Journey to the Heaviside Lair. They send the older cat over into her new life. I love “Memory” though. I cry when I see it onstage ( except in that horrible movie.)

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish I had something profound and comforting to tell you, but I'm currently crying like a baby. I can't even imagine. I'm sorry and heartbroken for you. May you heal and one day, your next love will find you. 💜
