Man this hit hard entirely due to the wording, before seeing the image.

Just last Friday, I had to let my 12 year old Chili strut regally across the rainbow bridge after a protracted battle with her kidneys that ultimately was just a symptom of a cancer. And exactly 1 week before that, my partner had to let go of her Leo, who was just as old but had since birth struggled with his weak heart.

I was prepared for the worst opening the image.

Thanks for making my day a little brighter instead, those are lovely (and ferocious) little huntresses!

I’m sorry for your losses. Last month I escorted my 14+ yo best buddy across the bridge due to CKD (he lasted years longer than expected!) and lost a just over month old kitten who failed to thrive on the same day.

That shit is rough. Especially when it comes in rapid-fire.

I'm so sorry for your losses, but glad I could brighten your day a little. I hope you're both getting the support you need to process things.

So who's the troublemaker here? Or bigger troublemaker given that all kittens are a handful. My money's on the orange.

[–] QualifiedKitten@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hahaha yes! Orange is definitely the trouble maker! He's always been the first one to figure out how to climb/jump to new places, and he's had scabs on his nose/whisker pads for the past few weeks because he just keeps getting scraped up.

It's weird but you can totally tell just from the two pictures!

The tiny void beans!
