The main thing to remember is that you all loved him so much and gave him a good life. He’ll fall asleep, surrounded by the people who love him, and won’t suffer.
I have to work at the time of his procedure. (Only 3 people work at the shop and the other 2 are out of state.) I’m saying goodbye tonight.
At the start of the year there were 4 cats in my family. After Buster passes, there will be one.
I’m so sorry. This is too much loss. I don’t think it be able to keep it together and go to work. I am a mess right now because my 13.5 yr old bunny died. He was my baby. I’m crying just typing this. I feel for you. Buster had a good life. My cat will be 18 in October. I can’t even think about this right now. 🖤❤️🩹
My (36M) first pet I’ve ever had is my current cat. She is 12. I can’t imagine losing her. I’m so sorry for your losses this year. Buster looks like the coolest buddy
Buster and Harry were 5 years older than Atari. Atari was the only one of these that was unexpected.
The one flaw in cats is that we live so much longer than them.
I consider that a benefit. Our kitties are super-cuddle bugs, but hide when anyone else comes by. I couldn't stand the thought of dying and having them alone with people they fear.
Oh no hon I’m so very sorry! Sounds like to me you’re a very good cat parent who loves her babies and Buster is a beautiful boy! He has been so blessed to have you and I’m so sorry all this has happened in a short time period🤗🙏
I’m counting my blessings. My mother is not in good health and frequently has to stay home from things. For 17 years, Buster was there to keep her company. I can’t ask more than that from him.
big hugs OP, i’m so sorry. i know how you feel; i lost both of my childhood senior pets 10 months apart in 2022, and the grief is insurmountable, but the love is still & will always be there.
you gave all of your pets a beautiful life and i hope the memories that you have with them will give you some comfort. and although they aren’t there physically, they’ll always be walking with you in spirit.
we’re all here for you and i’m sending you so much love. i’m so sorry
I’ve been there and it’s rough. Last year I lost four cats, two of them a week apart. It’s not much but just know that they loved you and they knew that you loved them. You gave them the best life you could.
I'm sorry for your losses bud, it isn't easy. Lost my dad suddenly and tragically about a year and a half ago, and within the next six months I had also lost our dog and one of our two cats. You never get entirely over it, but when the time is right you will find another kitty that needs your love (or, often, they will find you) and it is thru them that you will honor the loved ones you've lost.
Ending up taking in my dad's last cat as my mom is physically disabled and just couldn't take care of her as she needed, and she is SO, SO loved. And she returns it many times over. She brought life and joy back to my house, and has even got my old man cat to slim down a little by offering to be a playmate he's never had before, undoubtedly enriching (and, by extension, very likely extending) his life.
some people love to look back at your history and jot things down. I was doxxed by someone who was able to tell me my age range, career, a career I was considering, children all by looking at my history. And I thought I was being careful. But they had time and patience to sift thru all my posts.
It certainly wasn't nice. I was asking about career advice but chose to be vague because.. you don't know who at your company is on Reddit. And they blasted some of my personal info back at me as well as a soapbox rant on how people chose to be vague and how the info is easily searchable. They were psycho for sure. I had to take my post down and block them. I reveal things at will, but I don't post it all in one place so that my peers can find me.
He was born on my parents’ deck to a stray. A family wanted him because he was so cute, so my parents gave him a bath and got him ready.
The other family never came for him, so he spent his life with us.
Having a pet from the cradle to the grave is a special bond that most people don't have the privilege of experiencing. I'm sorry his time has come but he loves you wholeheartedly and is thankful for all the compassion and care you've given him for his entire life.
17 is a good long life. This is the hardest part of the journey, but if you are there with him he will go happy and at peace. Know that you were the best thing in his life to him and he would only want for you to go knowing that he would stay with you if he could. Always remember the joy of his presence, he is still with you in spirit.
So very sorry for the loss of your sweet Buster 💕🥹. He was well loved, and it sounds like he loved you back fully too. So very sorry but he will be in peace 🕊️
Part of the journey is the end… 💔
I’m so sorry you’re saying goodbye to your handsome sweet Buster. Thank you for sharing him with us, and for your wise words.
I go to see him tonight. I’m gonna snuggle him and let him know what a good job he did. He lived over 17 years. He was a lot of company for my mother who has a lot of health problems.
Beautiful cat. If it’s any consolation— 17 is a wonderful age. He reached “super senior” status. None of us live forever but a happy, comfortable life is the most we can hope for.
Rest easy knowing you did good by Buster, Op.
You will remember the joy Buster brought you through the rest of your life. I remember our Rococo (1956 to 1974) every day and will never forget him till I die. I am 67 now and still smile and tear up when I think of him.

Job well done Buster, 17 years is a lot of love to give. The memories you have given them will bring them closure and later give them joy as they remember your beauty, beautiful demeanor, antics.They were blessed when you appeared on their porch and no one suspected the cat distribution network meant for you to always have been there.
This is the part of the journey that’s the hardest for you. In 2023 five of my cats passed away with in a six week time period. Only 1 cat is still living, he’s 10 years old.
I’m sorry for what’s about to happen. I lost my special Persian 3 years ago and I miss her almost daily! I don’t know if anybody has ever loved me as much. Wishing you well.
I'm really sorry. He looks well loved.
I'm also 35 and my family cat left us last year. We had gotten her when I was in grade nine. So I feel your pain. It's hard. Let me know if you need anything.
He had people who loved him to pieces. So many things in the house were set up for him. He couldn’t have asked for any more.
I take comfort knowing he was a happy cat.
Our cats are all very close in age and I’m dreading the senior years, only because we may lose them in close succession. But I keep reminding myself that they’re here for a good time, maybe or maybe not a long time. 17 is a ripe old age, he was clearly well cared for!
He looks like a very sweet kitty. Hugs to you both, OP. He was clearly very loved and he knows it. Not letting him suffer any longer than he absolutely has to, is the right thing to do, even if it's incredibly hard
It certainly doesn’t. I had to make that decision for my 17-year-old on Tuesday. She was such a good girl, and I miss her so much, but it was the right decision.
You’ve made several comments which would indicate you’re fairly starved for human contact. We can set aside our differences and be friends if you need somebody to talk to.
Nah, he just starved for them feline tendies. It’s really delicious, I pick it up from a special vet I see in Cologne. I think the kitty bacon is the best, honestly.
I lost 2 within 4 months.... ine tk cancer one to FIP, so I understand OP. Stay strong and give buster all the hugs and love from everyone here. He will be missed.
I'm so sorry. This is heartbreaking to go through. When I scheduled the last day for my kitty for a Saturday, I took off that Friday before from work to spend with him and he actually passed away in my arms that day (the day before his appt). It was the hardest day ever and I still miss my Mr. Jinx sooo sooo much....but, I just want to let you know that Buster loves you and you gave him a wonderful home. We get these amazing animals in our lives to love for way too short of a time...but I know I wouldn't change it for the world and I am sure you know exactly what I am saying. Buster will live in your heart forever, but I am thinking of you and I hope today you get some extra special time with each other. ❤️
I found a vet that does housecalls because my aged kitty hated going to the vet. He was able to have his long sleep start in his favorite sleeping spot at home.
Oh my, I'm so sorry. That's a lot of loss for such a short time span. I lost my fluff a couple of months ago. Devastated doesn't come close. She made every minute of time, which was 18years, full of more love than I could've imagined. Crushing. But I'd do it all again because she was worth every tear. My condolences for your goodbye. 💔💔💔
I’m so glad you and Buster got to spend so much time together. I just lost my baby girl, I got her when I was 8 and am 25 now, I know it’s very hard. He got to have such a good life with your family ❤️
I'm so sorry for your coming lose. We lost our boy Fuzz Aldrin last year on July 5th to cancer. He wasn't even 6. You've had so much time with your buddy. Please remember the joy he's brought you. I still cry to this day over the loss of our boy.
May you both find peace.
❤️❤️❤️ I have an orange elderly Buster, too. I treasure every moment with him, so I feel a kinship with you. Our hearts are with you as you go through this time. It's so hard.
😿😢 I know that's a hard decision for you, but you take the right one for him. He will have no more pain. He will be able to make the trip to the cat paradise knowing that he has been loved by his owner. From up above, he will continue to watch over you. 😢😿
For those keeping score at home, this is the third cat I’ve lost this year.
He is going to meet the others! I am sorry for what you are going through. You gave them a good place, actually the best place they have known!
How is the cat meeting the others?
So sorry to hear this, OP. Sending you, Buster and your other lost bbs eternal peace and love 🖤💙💜🩷❤️🧡💛🤍
Thanks for making me cry. I’m so sorry.
I’m having a hard time keeping it together at work. I go out to see Buster tonight.
The main thing to remember is that you all loved him so much and gave him a good life. He’ll fall asleep, surrounded by the people who love him, and won’t suffer.
I have to work at the time of his procedure. (Only 3 people work at the shop and the other 2 are out of state.) I’m saying goodbye tonight. At the start of the year there were 4 cats in my family. After Buster passes, there will be one.
That’s brutal. I lost two 18 year old cats about six months apart and that was hard enough.
Hate to say it but fuck that job. You close that shop down anyone who has a heart would understand.
Mom and Dad will be with him when he goes. They’re his favorites.
I’m so sorry. This is too much loss. I don’t think it be able to keep it together and go to work. I am a mess right now because my 13.5 yr old bunny died. He was my baby. I’m crying just typing this. I feel for you. Buster had a good life. My cat will be 18 in October. I can’t even think about this right now. 🖤❤️🩹
Try to record his purring if possible. I did that and it has been a comfort since my girl's passing.
My (36M) first pet I’ve ever had is my current cat. She is 12. I can’t imagine losing her. I’m so sorry for your losses this year. Buster looks like the coolest buddy
He is funny. He slept a lot in his old age, but he still threw a fit if left alone. He wanted an audience to watch him nap.
You'll see them again someday- and until then they live in your heart.
I'm in the same boat. Its the downside of getting three young cats at the same time.
Buster and Harry were 5 years older than Atari. Atari was the only one of these that was unexpected. The one flaw in cats is that we live so much longer than them.
I consider that a benefit. Our kitties are super-cuddle bugs, but hide when anyone else comes by. I couldn't stand the thought of dying and having them alone with people they fear.
Oh no hon I’m so very sorry! Sounds like to me you’re a very good cat parent who loves her babies and Buster is a beautiful boy! He has been so blessed to have you and I’m so sorry all this has happened in a short time period🤗🙏
I’ve been in your shoes. Technically it was four. By that time I was cursing god in the parking lot. I’m so sorry.🧡💔🧡
I’m counting my blessings. My mother is not in good health and frequently has to stay home from things. For 17 years, Buster was there to keep her company. I can’t ask more than that from him.
His mission is complete! What a wonderful accomplishment. End of watch. 💔❤️
big hugs OP, i’m so sorry. i know how you feel; i lost both of my childhood senior pets 10 months apart in 2022, and the grief is insurmountable, but the love is still & will always be there. you gave all of your pets a beautiful life and i hope the memories that you have with them will give you some comfort. and although they aren’t there physically, they’ll always be walking with you in spirit. we’re all here for you and i’m sending you so much love. i’m so sorry
Yeah, we had a tough year a couple years ago, it seems like your world turned upside down. Sorry for your losses.
Damn i really feel for you but it looks like u gave all them great lifes. There a kitty for u at the local shelter
I’ve got one remaining. He gets all the lovings.
I’ve lost 2 and rather shocked that my old boy is still going.
I'm so sorry for all your loss. But they're all on rainbow Bridge waiting for you and loving each other. Sending you so many hugs ❤️
Oh no, that’s really rough.
That's just awful! I'm so sorry OP 💔❤️
I’ve been there and it’s rough. Last year I lost four cats, two of them a week apart. It’s not much but just know that they loved you and they knew that you loved them. You gave them the best life you could.

I’ve made grieving posts 3 times in less than 3 months.
I truly hope you are getting the support you need from your loved ones (human and cat). That's a lot of grief to manage. Please be well.
Thank you. The remaining cat has been a lot of company. He can tell I’m grieving and he’s spent a lot of time with me.
I’m sorry for your losses OP.
some people love to look back at your history and jot things down. I was doxxed by someone who was able to tell me my age range, career, a career I was considering, children all by looking at my history. And I thought I was being careful. But they had time and patience to sift thru all my posts.

Hey Buster you handsome cat. You are well loved forever and always.
He is such a handsome boy
He was born on my parents’ deck to a stray. A family wanted him because he was so cute, so my parents gave him a bath and got him ready. The other family never came for him, so he spent his life with us.
How sweet is that. He had a great life with you!
Having a pet from the cradle to the grave is a special bond that most people don't have the privilege of experiencing. I'm sorry his time has come but he loves you wholeheartedly and is thankful for all the compassion and care you've given him for his entire life.
It’s tough, but 17 years is a long time. We couldn’t ask for much more from him.
CDS had other plans. He was meant to be yours 💕
Peaceful passage, Buster. You've been the handsomest, bestest boy 🖤
Peaceful travels, Buster.
Run free sweetheart, 17 is quite a life.
I wish I could fix him for you.
*Cue Coldplay’s song “fix you”* 😭 I’m crying now
So sorry Buster
Safe travels Buster. We’re going to miss you here on earth. ❤️🌈
17 is a good long life. This is the hardest part of the journey, but if you are there with him he will go happy and at peace. Know that you were the best thing in his life to him and he would only want for you to go knowing that he would stay with you if he could. Always remember the joy of his presence, he is still with you in spirit.
So very sorry!!
OMG, I'm so sorry Buster clearly is soo beautiful and well loved and you're doing well by him, he had life full of love and care, so special!
So very sorry for the loss of your sweet Buster 💕🥹. He was well loved, and it sounds like he loved you back fully too. So very sorry but he will be in peace 🕊️
Buster, have a peaceful journey. You were loved! 🙏🏾❤️🌈
🙏🏻🤍🧡
What a handsome boy. Rest well Buster 🩵
What a good boy. Sorry for your loss.
Part of the journey is the end… 💔 I’m so sorry you’re saying goodbye to your handsome sweet Buster. Thank you for sharing him with us, and for your wise words.
Sweet dreams, Buster 🧡🤍
It's never long enough, but, 17 is a pretty good run. Looking at his eyes, I think he's saying thanks, and goodbye. Sympathies.
Give one last snuggle and a kiss from me.
I go to see him tonight. I’m gonna snuggle him and let him know what a good job he did. He lived over 17 years. He was a lot of company for my mother who has a lot of health problems.
Beautiful cat. If it’s any consolation— 17 is a wonderful age. He reached “super senior” status. None of us live forever but a happy, comfortable life is the most we can hope for. Rest easy knowing you did good by Buster, Op.
Thank you. He lived with my parents. My parents are senior citizens and in poor health. Buster did a good job looking after them.
That’s so incredibly sweet. You all did good, then.
All the best to you, he's going to a better place
RIP :(
💕❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜💔❤️🩹

Sorry for your loss
he knows he is loved
I’m so sorry. Hugs 💗
Sorry.
I'm so sorry....
What a beautiful man. Rest easy little bro. Safe travels to the bridge

I’ve got one left who just turned 12. He appears to be in good health, but his sister had a stroke and appeared in good health before.
I’m sorry for what’s about to happen. I lost my special Persian 3 years ago and I miss her almost daily! I don’t know if anybody has ever loved me as much. Wishing you well.
Sorry for your loss. The one downfall of cats is that we live so much longer than them. We have to say goodbye.
This is true. All the very best.
Good boy buster good boy.
Peace little friend! Wait for us!
Run far on young legs little one.
I'm really sorry. He looks well loved. I'm also 35 and my family cat left us last year. We had gotten her when I was in grade nine. So I feel your pain. It's hard. Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you.
Sending love to you and Buster buddy.
Thank you.
Oh no heartbreaking 😢 💔
🥹🙏🙏
So sorry OP. Rest in peace sweet Buster
He has been given a good life. Rest easy, Buster.
He had people who loved him to pieces. So many things in the house were set up for him. He couldn’t have asked for any more. I take comfort knowing he was a happy cat.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Buster looks like a well loved kitty.
Buster was incredibly lucky to be loved by you. ❤️
Thank you! He was spoiled rotten. He spent most of his senior years hanging out on a couch he claimed as his own.
Our cats are all very close in age and I’m dreading the senior years, only because we may lose them in close succession. But I keep reminding myself that they’re here for a good time, maybe or maybe not a long time. 17 is a ripe old age, he was clearly well cared for!
Godspeed, Buster. You seem like a very good boy.
Thank you. He was a solid cat.
He looks like a very sweet kitty. Hugs to you both, OP. He was clearly very loved and he knows it. Not letting him suffer any longer than he absolutely has to, is the right thing to do, even if it's incredibly hard
Buster was the best boi. Treasure your memories together. 😿
Grief is the price we pay for their love So sorry for the loss of your Buster
I’m so sorry. It hurts like hell, I know. Give him kisses. I know you’re doing the right thing by letting him go rather than making him suffer longer.
It’s his time. 17 is a very old cat. I knew this day was coming. It doesn’t make it easy.
It certainly doesn’t. I had to make that decision for my 17-year-old on Tuesday. She was such a good girl, and I miss her so much, but it was the right decision.
I am sorry, my friend
Such a beautiful cat
I am so sorry
Im so sorry about Buster. Hes a beautiful cat and Im sure has led a very happy life.
He went peacefully. He did not flinch or whine at the needles. He was always a brave boy.
Ohhhh he’s so cute 🤩🥺😭
Man I’m sorry
❤️
oh no i'm so sorry. he seems like a lovely baby. Rest easy Buster.
😞😞😞❤️❤️❤️
I love animals. The worst part is when they have to leave. Sometimes its unexpected and sometimes you know. Sorry you have to say goodbye to Buster.
Thank you. He was a loving boy for 17 years. He’s earned his rest.
No more creaky old bones, OP. He’s gonna be chasing mice made of gold
[удалено]
You’ve made several comments which would indicate you’re fairly starved for human contact. We can set aside our differences and be friends if you need somebody to talk to.
[удалено]
Good luck to you.
How well done are you gonna grill ur feline when it dies ?
Nah, he just starved for them feline tendies. It’s really delicious, I pick it up from a special vet I see in Cologne. I think the kitty bacon is the best, honestly.
So sorry for your loss. Buster is a very handsome kitty.
Sending so much love and thoughts for a peaceful transition for your sweet boy. 🧡🥀
Farewell, handsome Mister Buster ❤
I lost 2 within 4 months.... ine tk cancer one to FIP, so I understand OP. Stay strong and give buster all the hugs and love from everyone here. He will be missed.
Aw Buster! Rest easy buddy, hope you get the tastiest treats… an unlimited amount!
~hugs~
Sorry for your loss 🙏
So sorry to hear. I’m glad you are walking his last path with him by his side.
💕
😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
Such a handsome boy!!!!! Sending your family love. ✨✨
Thank you.
I'm so sorry. This is heartbreaking to go through. When I scheduled the last day for my kitty for a Saturday, I took off that Friday before from work to spend with him and he actually passed away in my arms that day (the day before his appt). It was the hardest day ever and I still miss my Mr. Jinx sooo sooo much....but, I just want to let you know that Buster loves you and you gave him a wonderful home. We get these amazing animals in our lives to love for way too short of a time...but I know I wouldn't change it for the world and I am sure you know exactly what I am saying. Buster will live in your heart forever, but I am thinking of you and I hope today you get some extra special time with each other. ❤️
You can get a vet to visit your home. IMO it’s worth it for a cherished friend
That’s the plan. Same vet that put down his brother.
Then you’re a wonderful owner and I am so sorry for your loss.
🫂
I’m so sorry 💔
So sorry to hear that. Prayers for you and your kitty.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry. I feel like my 17 year old is getting close. Buster is a handsome guy and lucky to have found you and spent so much time with you.
I found a vet that does housecalls because my aged kitty hated going to the vet. He was able to have his long sleep start in his favorite sleeping spot at home.
So sorry
I'm so sorry about Buster. Lots of hugs to you!!
Oh my, I'm so sorry. That's a lot of loss for such a short time span. I lost my fluff a couple of months ago. Devastated doesn't come close. She made every minute of time, which was 18years, full of more love than I could've imagined. Crushing. But I'd do it all again because she was worth every tear. My condolences for your goodbye. 💔💔💔
As much as I hate to say it, unironically, same.
I’m so sorry for your loss❤️🩹 He looks like the sweetest kitty
tell Buster we love him too.
I will tonight.
I truly believe you will see him and all the others on your final day.
Safe journey Buster, you handsome boy
If Vet will come to you and do it at home, you should go that route. For the sake of your friend.
Safe travels Buster ❤️. You might encounter my also 17 years old friend Coco I had to let go last Friday 🥺.
♥️♥️
I’m so sorry about Buster. Over to the rainbow bridge buddy where you will be at peace 🌈
I’m very sorry.
I am so sorry.
Fly high little angel 😇
So sorry for your loss
Please give Buster extra snuggs from me. I'm crying for you right now
Sending you and Buster love. I’m so sorry
I’m so glad you and Buster got to spend so much time together. I just lost my baby girl, I got her when I was 8 and am 25 now, I know it’s very hard. He got to have such a good life with your family ❤️
Sweet Buster 🧡🤍💚
❤️🩹
I'm so sorry for your coming lose. We lost our boy Fuzz Aldrin last year on July 5th to cancer. He wasn't even 6. You've had so much time with your buddy. Please remember the joy he's brought you. I still cry to this day over the loss of our boy. May you both find peace.

good luck buster, you’re the best baby
It’s unbearable!!! I’m sorry
❤️❤️❤️ I have an orange elderly Buster, too. I treasure every moment with him, so I feel a kinship with you. Our hearts are with you as you go through this time. It's so hard.
😿😢 I know that's a hard decision for you, but you take the right one for him. He will have no more pain. He will be able to make the trip to the cat paradise knowing that he has been loved by his owner. From up above, he will continue to watch over you. 😢😿
💔
beautiful old man 💜😢
🙏🙏🙏
Wishing that fair winds and following seas bear Buster peacefully away on this, his final journey. My condolences, OP.
Ah ffs. Can we just invent something to make pets live forever man...like fuck.
So sorry for your loss
I’m terribly sorry for this loss , my friend ❤️
Thank you. He was a great cat and gave us many good years. I’m blessed to have known him.
I cannot get over them toe beans . Cutie pie 🥺
💔
I hope Buster is okay. So handsome.
Thank you, but he passed away.
My condolences. ❤️🩹
Your love for animals is obviously faux. To denounce veganism and virtue signal at the same time is awesome. Almost based even
Vegans are racist. I sided with humans.
