It’s taken me a few days to write this, but I feel that I can finally do it without too many tears pouring down my face. It feels as though my heart has broken into a thousand pieces. For 16 years FuzzJo was beside me for everything. And I don’t just mean figuratively, I mean literally as well. He would always follow me around, hang out in the bathroom with me when I’d bathe, always want my water or cereal milk, always curled up with me either on the couch or in my bed. On August 7, I had to make the incredibly difficult decision to let my beautiful baby puff FuzzJo go. He had started acting odd a couple days before & I found out that his kidney values were incredibly high & that he had a massive ulcer in his mouth. He was very wobbly to the point that he would fall over, he was barely eating or drinking & would yeowl oddly. I knew he was in pain & I knew that I might have to make a difficult decision, & it is the hardest decision to have to make as a pet parent. Yes, I thought of FuzzJo as my kid, because he wasn’t just a cat or a pet to me. He gave me hope & happiness, made me smile with his yeowls & chatting, he made me laugh when he’d try to get my water when I was trying to drink it. He was there for me, always. He comforted me & made sure I was ok, when I wasn’t. If you ever met or knew FuzzJo, you’d know he was a big boy, he was a lover, a friendly cat, & boy was he heavy! LOL. He was such a good companion & I’m so grateful that we had each other for these last 16 years. I miss him dearly & I wish that he was still here happy & healthy. I still look around for him to see if he’s sleeping in one of his beds. I still hope I’ll see him come running into the bathroom when I go to take a bath & we’d have our bath time/he’d keep me company. There will probably never be a day that I don’t think of FuzzJo or see/do something that will remind me of him. This loss is so overwhelming to me & I’m sure in time, it will become less & less. I miss you FuzzJo & I will always love you! Thank you for being with me & taking care of me. Be free baby puff & cross over that rainbow bridge to your sister Kikyo 🌈😊💜
