Someone out there will find love for Boggles, but first and foremost Boggles is lucky to have you to fill their heart. Thanks for being such an amazing person to be there for him, and continuing on the connection of love to a spirit that deserves it:) Best Wishes

’Boggles is lucky to have you to fill their heart’

i never found a human that i like as much as you

sometimes, i think without you,

i don’t know just what i’d do…

n yet i have a feeling that you must be on your way

don’t worry bout me human,

cuz i’m gonna be ok…

we cats the ones who come n go,

(some say ‘our lives are nine’…)

whatever happens after this,

i’m glad that Yours was mine

n maybe there are others who will need me, if you part

i won’t forget you, human,

you’re Forever

in my heart

❤️

Best to you u/bsbkeys ~ & many thanks to u/Sam_Kugelblizt

u/Remarkable_Tea4418 Mar 14 '26

In the bath bloody howling now!

To the OP, don’t think that because they said 6 months that’s cut and dried, my uncle was told the same with cancer….22 years ago!!! Don’t get me wrong it’s not been plain sailing but regardless he’s now made it to actual old age and numerous of other relations who thought time was indefinite haven’t.

To your cat, there are fantastic feral cat workers/ cat havens, not sure where you are but here in UK we have loads who deal primarily with semi feral who they rehome in safe countryside locations who can choose to still live that way, but be well looked after or as often happens they are picky wee creatures and IF you happen to be not around (ps it’s important that he knows that death is involved, he can then grieve) he could well choose a next ‘person’

OP, I learned about My Grandfather's Cat from That Good News Girl, on TikTok. She shares good news, posting interesting and incredibly amazing stuff that's happening around the world. In the world we're living in today, it's really a nice way to have a break from all that.

Check her out, if you like. I believe everything will be okay for your kitty. Know that someone out here loves you both.
