I feel this so deeply. I lost my senior dog a few months back in October, it's still hard. I spent a week or so in bed either sobbing or on the verge of. Sending you and your husband very supportive and understanding love.
oh cait I’m so sorry, just like the rest of Austin’s vast network of admirers. He was a beautiful, widely beloved little goof and your pictures of him always brightened the timeline.
Oh no..
I just saw this and immediately knew exactly what it meant. I'm so so sorry for your loss Cait. Austin was such an amazing cat and he was so loved by you. He lived such a good life. I don't know if you'll even see this but thank you for sharing him with all of us. He was so beautiful
I am but for other reasons. I'm so sorry, I know how hard it is. You don't have to get better anytime soon, grief has no deadlines. What a blessing Austin was. 🫰
i got really really sad yesterday when i read about austin. i wanted to uninstall this app myself. i dont want to write paragraph. i just hope you're doing okay.
I’m so sorry Cait, we lost two pets last year before the summer last year and we’re still struggling with it. Austin was such a sweetheart and you guys treated him like the little king he was.
Oh man I'm so sorry Cait. I know the grief is unimaginably massive when the bond's so deep, and probably I'm biased but I feel like the loss hits different with perfect orange fluffy gentlemen 🤎
I'm a complete utter stranger who follows you, but I know what it's like to lose a much-loved pet. They are absolutely family and the grief is real. All my empathy and a ton of condolences.
Everyday... I'm an autistic depressive, or depressed autistic... its one or the other and it's sould crushing... and the current world is only making it worse
I’ve been sadder, but never been mad-sadder. Like I yelled and yelled and yelled and everyone ignored me and now I’m just walking around going, “I fucking TOLD you,” angrily.
Pretty fucking sad. I haven't wanted to drink since the last 6 months of COVID lockdown. And I want to drink bourbon until I don't feel anything every day now.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I was there myself almost two years ago and I know that nothing will help or stop the pain of his absence but all I can offer is that you are not alone in your grief, and if you ever just want to talk to anyone about how much you love him, I am here.
I am so sorry. I felt that way after losing Jiggles (the corgi in my pfp) last year. All I can offer is the knowledge that our pets were incredibly loved and they knew it❤️
I am so very sorry Cait.
My cat Grayson, loved me more than any living being has ever loved me. May he rest in peace.
I am sorry for your loss of Austin.
I could see the love you shared.
The pain of losing the love of a cat is severe.
Best wishes for feeling better soon.
Also for what it's worth, thank you for sharing his joy with us. I know I loved him and his various hijinks on par with those of my own cat(s); he will be so, so missed.
I hope you feel better sooner than seems possible. I hope you laugh when you least expect it. I hope the sun shines back into your life just as soon as you're able to feel its light.
im so sorry for your loss. you and Austin brought us all so much love and joy, your relationship was truly special. keeping you and mr. cait in my thoughts ❤️
Yeah I'm having a rough go too. Recently diagnosed with swelling in my brain and I've completely forgotten who I was. I don't remember anything at all and I'm sad all the time. Even if the swelling goes down, my memories won't return.
so sorry.. I was in a very dark place when I lost my fuzzy void Jinx and I couldn't imagine how you're feeling right now. But remember you gave your fuzzy little one their best life (and your fuzzball absolutely loved you) and at some point I hope you open your hope to another deserving soul. ❤️💗
So heartbroken for you and Mr. Cait; it's clear how much love you gave him. I loved him, too, and I like to think he'll never be truly gone -- just with you a little differently.
Yep. Bonus guilt: my wife and I have two kids under 5. I’ve never cried as often and as hard as I have. These are tears of sadness and rage. I’m so angry.
I miss my fucking cat. This shit is Garbo. Grieve Cait. Don’t deny yourself your humanity. This shit is absolutely grief-worthy.

Yes immensely I might as well just die because this stress has to be worse than death
It's never easy and it always hurts. But that means the love was that strong.

The end of Democracy as we knew it
The end of America as we knew it
The end of the rule of law
Those who lost all in the LA fires
The erasure of rights for LGBTQ people
I am not broken. I will resist. ✊🏼
It's so crushing to lose a cherished companion.
Had to pull all photos off my phone as to not become a huge, sobbing mess every time I scrolled through the photo gallery.
Also I hope you are safe even if you're sad.
For me it swings between dread, anxiety, and depression, luckily not all at once (yet).
This too shall pass
I'm so sorry for your loss.
They were all brothers and sisters from the same litter.
I only knew him through the internet but he always was the sweetest boy
My cat Grayson, loved me more than any living being has ever loved me. May he rest in peace.

Maybe the two old men are enjoying some Churu together.
I hope so. They deserve it.
I'm so sorry
🫂
it's helped me with the Grief bastard
Not depressed, I am in mourning for our democracy getting raped day in and day out, by lawless creeps.
Excuse me, I need to go hug my own cat now.
Good luck to you both.
Sending love ❤️
I miss my fucking cat. This shit is Garbo. Grieve Cait. Don’t deny yourself your humanity. This shit is absolutely grief-worthy.
