this is my boy baloo. he recently passed away around a month ago at only 6 years old 💔 it was around 11pm and i went to feed him and his older brother, meow meow before going to bed (i had recently taken on the role of caring for the cats full time, as it had recently been my parents but they were threatening to get rid of the cats unless someone else took care of them because they didnt want to deal with it really i guess). anyway i go out to feed him and i notice something is wrong the second he isnt climbing the door watching me walk up. i go outside in the dark because thats where they would spend most of the time (an outdoor, enclosed netted in area) because my parents refused to have them inside for like 3 years because they wouldnt stop peeing on things apparently, and i see my baby boy laying lifeless on the floor, and MM is pacing and meowing like crazy. its also good to mention i had been in a separate state fot the weekend and had just gotten back the same night. i feel like its my fault that baloo died, even though everybody tells me it isnt, but it was my job to look after him and he somehow passed suddenly. we dont know how he did, just that he did and i wasnt quick enough to notice the signs. we believe he was sick and since both my cats have FIV it was just too hard for him to push through. sorry for this rant of a post, i just needed to say this somewhere because i feel so guilty for my poor boy.
