And I sure know how you feel, it's devastating to lose a beloved pet, especially if it's unexpected. The only solace I can offer is to consider the good life you gave him and remember how lucky he was to have found you...

You made the tough decision when you had to, but boy that's hard.

You've had more than your share of challenges; may your future be brighter.

RIP Mr. Countallvotes.

He reminds me of my darling Penelope who passed in October of 2022.

My heart goes out to you and to Silver. Take care of each other please.

it's such a deep pain in your heart to lose a fur friend. That's the price we pay for having them with us for too short a time. We all hope someday to be with our friends again.

He knew more about animals than any veterinarian I've ever known as he was born and raised on a sheep farm.

Before he died in May of 2022 he told me, "You need to have that cat put down. He is sick!".

I thought he was just saying that given his own condition at the end of his life.

He was the one that adopted Andreas and Silver.

He was right too it seems.

This is such a difficult time in my life.

The way its going now, I'll be lucky if I don't lose the house given my own very serious health condition as stress activates multiple sclerosis. The money is going fast, very fast.

I need to stay alive to care for my other two remaining kitties, Silver (the brother of Andreas) and Missy, my precious black cat.

This is so difficult. I was so isolated caring for a man with dementia for the last 10 years of my life and here I am now alone with few friends.

I have no great reason to hang on other than the two cats I have left as the one sibling I have is too busy building a mansion for my very spoiled niece that has never had to work a day in her life. Well, lucky her. None of these last living relatives of mine care one bit about me and yes, it hurts, I will admit it.

And now this, the rather sudden death of Andreas or Mr. Andy as my husband called him.

This is too much for me tonight and I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow at 1:00 p.m.

What the hell did I do to deserve this crappy life of being all alone with no one?

What, if anything at all, am I worth?

Silver and Missy will help you to get through it. Hang in there, CountAllVotes. You'll have support here.

maybe you could talk to your doctor tomorrow about how you're feeling about things and what's going on



cocoa? chocolates? something to elevate your mood?

and for what it's worth-- you've got us

beautiful Mr. Andy must be heartbreaking, especially when you see the grief of the other cats.

I hope your doctor can help you. You are loved here, and we think you are worth a lot.

That was a hard day, and I cried in the vet's office

My best friend and my father both died shortly after that...

... but they all still visit me in my dreams---
including a dog I lost 20 years ago...


and it makes me happy when that happens!

Tough times--- but remember, Andreas' heart is still with you!

None of the free image upload places are free any longer.

So, thank you!

The embedded images are from the links you posted in your OP, they just point directly to the jpg images there.

There is no sleep to be found here tonight.

Missy and Silver are looking for Andreas and I guess they don't realize he isn't coming home tonight or ever again. So sad.



Andy loved to be combed. All you had to say was "comb" and he'd come running. This is a picture of him after being combed on his combing dresser.

He was such a smart cat. How he is missed.

I wonder how long the other two will be looking for him?

It is so incredibly difficult to lose our furkids. I have had to part with 7 kittykids and it never gets easier each time. Treasure your two remaining kitties. Andy will live on in your memories and dreams.

No matter how many times we go through the loss of our beloved pets, it never gets easier.
So sorry for your loss.
Blessings to you and yours

Things sound so hard for you. So much you have gone through.

He is out of pain. I rescued a brother and sister kitty and she died abruptly one year not too long ago. It was horrifying. So fast. I thought her brother would never recover but I want to tell you they never forget but they do recover. He may bond closer with the other cat. Mine did anyways.

I am soooo sorry.😭

Silver is very jealous of Missy and vice-versa.

I guess they don't have much of a choice but to bond closer to one another.

They are sure upset tonight, a mutual feeling.

What a lonely hell I am living right now.

of what you're dealing with here. It's painful and sad.

Life can be so hard. Sending you healing vibes.

but I feel for you.

Sending you really big hugs

Good looking and well-loved cats.

Andreas had a good life because of you.

and send peace and comfort to his grieving loved ones.

My dear CountAllVotes, I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Mr. Andy. Words cannot really help, especially knowing all that you are going through. Have you explained to Silver and Missy about Andreas? Are you having him cremated?

Please know that your entire DU family is here for you. Lean as hard as you need. Holding you and your little ones in love and light.
