So sorry for your loss :(

If it would help you to share any positive stories about him, I'd love to hear them! No pressure ofc <3

Thank you ❤️. He came to our home more than 5 years ago, already adult. He was most likely a house cat that was left on the street for some reason: in realively good health, but a little skinnier, neutered, but not chipped and every human he encountered he would ask for pets, even complete strangers. For some reason he licked and playfully bite like dogs when petting him.

Once we found him in front of the train station, he was just sitting there taking pets from random commuters coming in and out of the station. He was really precious and a bit needy of love, we gave him all we could.

Sounds like he was an awesome cat, thank you for sharing!

I have been having a tough week and reading about him sitting at the station taking pets from random commuters really warmed my heart <3

Hope you're doing ok

Thank you for your love. Glad he could warm your week :) he surely made a lot of people happier.

I'm doing ok. Loosing a furry friend is tough, but (unfortunately) I lost many in my years so I can deal with it. The only bad things about pets is that they always leave too soon.
