I Miss My Cat - Tumblr Posts
I'm so sorry for your loss šš« take care and allow yourself the time to grieve
thank you so muchā¤ļø I appreciate you, that means a lot to me i've had a horrible summer haha and my cat dying right at the end just makes it the worse summer in history for meš ļæ¼
iāve never lost anything before so this entire experience with my cat passing has been hell. absolutely awful.
like the weather was so nice and sunny when he passed so my mind automatically goes to assume that he picked such a pretty day to leave us. idek how to describe it without sounding like a maniac but its like his way to comforting us. heās finally free and at peace and not in any pain anymore that heās basically just shining down me and my mom now.
he was soo terrified of the outdoors and when we were on our way to the crematorium with him, he was able to see all the mountains near us and he was soaking up all the sun that could never flood into our house. itās like he was really seeing the world for the first time without being scared. then on our way back we could see the mountains on the distance and i just started sobbing because this life is so beautiful and even though something so precious was taken away from me, i feel like i also gained something from it. i donāt know what but i know iāll come to recognize it eventually.
we picked him up from the crematorium yesterday and it was sooo rainy and gloomy but on the way there, the sun managed to peek out for a few minutes and i cried some more because (call me crazy) i felt like he was giving us a sign that itās okay and heās still here.
i reflected so many things a few days before he passed. so yesterday i made a promise to myself that i would go outside everyday and just look up at the sky. no matter how bad i feel or whatever is weighing me down, iāll make time for him and go outside and look up at the sky bc heās up there somewhere. and every time itās sunny, im gonna think of him.
A āCat-nappingā
(Prompt by @autocrats-in-love : The hero stared at the villain with fire in their eyes. The villain feigned innocence, raising their eyebrows in surprise./āWhat brings you to my home?ā The villain asked with fake confusion./āGive. Me. My. Cat. Back.ā The hero said, loading their gun.)
Pistachio was missing.
Hero knew it from the second they entered the too-quiet apartment, hanging up their keys as an uneasy feeling settled over them. There was no āmeowā to greet them, no paws pattering against the floor to come demand their afternoon meal.
Pistachio would never miss a meal.
The hero did not even need to glance at the note left on the kitchen island. They knew exactly who was responsible. They also knew that there would be hell to pay for this egregious act of feline abduction.
They grabbed their gun from the bedroom safe and checked to make sure it was loaded.
One busted down door later, and the hero stared at the villain with fire in their eyes. Villain feigned innocence, raising their eyebrows in surprise.
āWhat brings you to my home?ā They questioned with insincere confusion.
Hero was in no mood to play pretend.
āGive. Me. My. Cat. Back.ā The hero ordered, pulling back the slide of their pistol with a click and chambering a round.
Villain stiffened in their chair, casual features flashing with fear at the heroās abrupt action.
āI hope youāre here to negotiate-ā
The cold metal of the barrel dug into the underside of the criminalās chin, effectively shutting them up. Hero had been on them in a second, and it was clear they would be pulling no punches today.
āIām here to do no such thing. Where is he?ā The deadly-serious hero demanded.
Villain didnāt speak, but their eyes betrayed them, flicking to the doorway that led out of the living room and into a separate common space. Hero abandoned the fearful villain in favor of locating their furry companion.
The room they entered wasā¦not what they expected. Perhaps they had imaged their feline son would be caged in a dingy basement, fed only the driest of cuisine, and endlessly yowling to be saved.
Instead, they laid eyes on a pet-lovers dream. A gigantic cat tree covered one wall, blurring the line between tree and straight up castle. On a lower branch, some kind of brush-plus-laser-pointer contraption could be seen.
Villain entered the room behind them, but stepped back when Hero threw them a glare that had them thinking it might be time to start picking out headstones.
Against another wall sat a grand purple cushion, complete with a tasseled canopy. Across from that bed sat a litter box that would be better described as a beach. The rest of the scratchable-looking carpet was littered with pet paraphernalia, feathers and small plush mouses galore.
Pistachio, in all his glory, sat unbothered at the bottom of a cardboard box sitting on the floor in the center of the extravagant set up.
Hero immediately rushed to his side.
There was no mistaking his trademark-white-fur-mustache, standing out against the sleek black that covered the rest of his body. He gazed up at the hero with wide-green eyes, not a worry in the world about being cat-napped and held for ransom.
When Hero scooped him up into their arms, gun long forgotten, he purred easily.
āCome on, Pistachio. Letās get you home.ā
As they pushed past the gobsmacked villain to exit the house, they muttered a threat that shall not be repeated.
Villain didnāt dare pet a hair out of place on Heroās cat ever again.
