I feel your pain. Show me a person who doesn't like animals and I'll show you a person lacking in compassion. I think normal people are drawn to animals because of the purity of their lives. There is nothing in them but pure love for their caregivers. I have owned (and been owned) by many animals over the years and know the pain of their passing. We could learn from their basic goodness if we were of a mind to. I for one am sorry for your loss. I hope in time you will find some peace in remembering him.
Thank you very very much. That's an incredibly kind comment. I suppose I can exempt you from the above in a gracious but smug way, in honor of our feline masters >.> :)
It'll be hard, I live an incredible isolated life so he was an outsize chunk of it. We shared a room instead of a house, the rest of my house is sealed off. And that room is configured and provisioned with him in mind. I see him everywhere I look in here, and in here is 99% of my day.
It'll get easier. And I'll clone him one day maybe, if humanity ever gets its shit together or the AI carry us there despite ourselves :)
The best thing about a cat or any animal is how they have no illusions about what you are. They accept you as another animal no matter what and while what you do may annoy or even anger them, they are incapable of judgment. It's a true form of wisdom baked into the fabric of cognition itself and the very stuff of reality.
I live alone with my fur ball and can't imagine what I would do if anything happened to him. I'm really sorry to hear about Lu. So painful to lose a loved one. All the best in the days ahead.
I deeply appreciate your kind words. Yeah, Lu was basically my only friend. I'm a different person now. I'm not humanity's staunch ally anymore. Basically I'm on its side now for my own ego and stubbornness. Not out of any sort of loyalty or emotional attachment. Humans might as well be frogs. I care about them in a detached conservationist prevention of animal cruelty sense now.
Still. It's just never worth it. I have video and it's still not good enough. Maybe it's just me but I should never have had pets. All I remember is the end. And when that isn't true it's just poisoned because the end looms over it. And that's everything. If we don't get the ending right, then there never was a point because it's already too high a price. I'm not sure any level of good can balance it out because so much ended wrong and early and bad. I still can't even look at cats without at least knowing. /smh

Thanks again for the comment.
I'm terribly sorry! My heart goes out to you.
Thank you man, I really appreciate that. Only cried four times today so far. /sigh

Detachment does not sound like a bad idea. Taking care of yourself in preparation for times ahead would be best. Take care
You too. Thanks again. Good luck in all things.

Days since last cry over Lu: Zero.
It’s good to see that some people truly care. I’m sorry for your loss, he will be missed.
