I share your sadness. Ater enough time you’ll think of her and remember how happy you made each other and smile. But for now, sadness. You were lucky to have each other.

I'm gonna have the dreams for awhile. But I'm grateful for the time we had.

I’m so sorry, internet friend.

Thank you. She was very special.

She was beautiful 😍

I have a void that had one white whisker and lost it a few days ago. What was her name?

This little girl was Alice :)

What was your void named?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have 3 voids 😐

Clyde, Spy, and Bennie

There is no such thing as too many black cats. They're good luck!

I had a void that meant the world to me, so I know how it feels. I'm sorry you have to go through it. :(

Thank you so much

I'm finally not crying after seeing pictures of voids after losing mine a few years ago. Sorry for your loss, it gets better (eventually)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

That's reassuring. Sorry for your loss, also.

Lost mine last may, void pics are still pretty rough. Best fucking cat ever. I'll get there prob.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

You and me both :(

So sorry for your loss. We lost our little black cat, Bob, far too young several years ago and he was the gentlest, sweetest boy. I’m sure Alice was loved and loved you back just as much.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you, I'm sorry about Bob too.

I'm really sorry, OP. I have no words of wisdom. I just know it hurts, and I'm sorry

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I sob like a kid every time. They are purely innocent and loving. The grief is correspondingly pure.

What a little sweetie. I'm sure she left happy and grateful.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you, I hope I made her feel loved :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It only takes one picture for a complete stranger to know that you did.
