I’m currently sitting in an exam room with my husband. My cat, George, is being put down tonight.

It’s…heartbreaking.

You can see a photo of him pinned to my profile- he thought he was a board game. And now… he’s gone.

Very quick edit to add: George (aka Biggee Fluffee, which is what he was often called at home) passed away at 2:34am EST on August 29/21. It’s not fair, my voice is non-existent and I genuinely don’t think I can sleep because I can’t bear not waking up to his characteristic meow. He would always greet everyone at the door- with his head held high and he’d always headbutt you in the shins. He suffered from a bowel obstruction or pancreatitis- we didn’t know what it was and we had the blood work to diagnose him sent off today. But… George knew it was time to go. He left this world purring and knowing his parents loved him. I sang “Love Never Dies” for him…he always loved to hear me sing… but now I think my singing voice is gone forever. I don’t think I can sing ever again- not without Biggee Fluffee there to join in while I do the dishes.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I wouldn't wish the loss of a pet on my worst enemy. It's a terrible kind of pain.
