It may not be real but I told him to have fun with the meals on wheels.
Remember the meme of animal heaven where the mice asked for skates and the cats were thankful for the meals on wheels? Lol
I’m sad and I will always miss him but there is a relief of not worrying if he’s in pain or didn’t feel good.
I must not have had sentimental cats because I don’t remember any of them ever mourning any of the others.
Some happier pictures of the snuggle bunch.
The second picture was from Dec 2020 when they first found the tumor. We were very blessed to have two more good years.
Snickers was using him as a foot rest in the last one and he was in the middle of Snickers and Jellybean in the first. They sure were a bunch of snugglers when they felt good.
Thinking of you today. I’m so sorry. The raw, empty feeling of them being gone and missing them is so hard. They should be there but they’re not and you haven’t adjusted yet. 
We all understand and we’re here for you. Lots of love and hugs. 
I’m so sorry 
Apparently the foster kitten was a distraction from losing Sammy. I’m here to return him and can’t quit crying.
It feels funny not to be medicating three times a day. And not to have him sleep on my chest. This morning I thought I saw him go up to his perch on the cat tree out of the corner of my eye.
I’ve got to get myself together before someone comes out.
I know you guys get it. Hugs to all that have lost their companions!
Thinking of you this morning. I’ve found the first few days after a loss the worst, maybe the disruption of routine, or looking for them on their preferred spot and seeing it empty… Lots of hugs. The photos you just shared are so sweet.
((hugs))
{{{HUGS}}}
Godspeed, Sammy 
To me, the shock of the disrupted routine, even when stressful, wears off slowly.
Hug those left.
Is there a reason you couldn’t/wouldn’t keep the foster?
We get it for sure. It’s so hard and you miss them so much. My Dewey has been gone for over a year and sometimes I’ll glance at one of my other cats or see them in low light and I’ll think for a second that it’s Dewey.
Take it day by day or hour by hour. Things won’t get easier but you’ll adjust to them.
The timing might not be right but maybe losing Sammy now is a sign that the foster kitten is supposed to stay with you. Just a thought.
I still have Snickers and she doesn’t do well with cats she didn’t grow up with. She’s old too, 16.5, and i think it’s best for her to not add one.
She wouldn’t come out of her bedroom when he was out.
We get it. For the longest time after my Beth was put to sleep, I thought I saw her in ‘her’ chair in my room. Even though the chair is black, and she was white and gray - there was no way to mistake her for another cat or the chair. But I saw her.
If Snickers didn’t get so stressed about other cats I sure would’ve kept him.
She’s old and I’m going to wait to add another one permanently. Plus I have two outdoor ex ferals that will be using the foster bedroom when it’s cold or wet in the winter.
I get it. When I had to let my elderly lab mix go, I heard the tinkle of her dog tags for two days. It was the sound they made when she would climb up on her armchair. Then it stopped.
I know everyone will roll their eyes, but it felt like she was there to say goodbye.
How sweet! I think they do sometimes. You were very lucky.
