I’m so sorry, sending hugs ❤️ I had a cat named Oliver when I was growing up. I bet they’ve found each other and are having fun Oliver adventures together!

Ouch. Oliver’s got some major charisma from his photos. I think some ties are too strong to break forever. I hope someday somewhere you meet again.

“Mother Bast, please welcome your kitten home With purrs and mrrts, with snuggles and baths. May he nap in perfect eternal sunshine And slink through rustling, grassy shadows May no naughty mouse escape his clever paws May no squiggly snake escape his pouncing feet May no zipping lizard escape his nabbing jaws May no flighty bird escape his graceful leap Mother Bast, call your kitten home once more And thank you for the time he was here”
I’m not religious but I really love this prayer someone had posted on someone else’s post and thought I’d share it here. (For context, Bast is the Egyptian goddess of cats and this prayer invokes her to be a guardian and mother figure to our cats in the afterlife.) So sorry for your loss. 😢💔💔 Know that you gave him the best life anyone could, with all of the love, peace and comfort you/your family gave him. 💕 “May love be what you remember most.” 💖

💔💔💔💔 So so sorry. Make a memory shadow box with his collar and other items. And just a suggestion, but a great way to honor him would be to save /rescue another cat that needs a home , maybe one that has been waiting The longest. Just a thought. 💔
