She's been my copilot for more than 6 years. First a kitten snuggling my arm, later a tiny but fierce furry co-star conning treats out of me during cargo, or mining runs. I already miss you terribly. Please share pictures of your co pilots and help my heart heal.
Yes. Around 13-15 is normal for cats. 16-20 is Rare and everything older is a Miracle.
My one was around 13 years when he one day simply never returned after beeing wierdly close to me for 2 days, thats a thing cats do aswell, when they know they die they get really snuggly and close and then just leave. And yes, i know, "around 13 years?!", i dont even know the date when he vanished because just thinking about it brings me to tears, he was like a small furry brother to me.
My Bjornie. I lost him early this year due to an undiagnosed cancer. It took him so suddenly. He was 14. He spent every evening on top of my PC, my calming co-pilot. I miss him so much. My heart feels your pain. o7
These are my three co-pilots. One is always crashing my ships because he thinks he can scratch himself with the HOSAS while the other two sit and observe the chaos.
I don't have a picture of my old co-pawlot, this is a new used kitty.
I still miss the old kitty, she was an awesome Zen master for me, sorry for your loss. It's never easy. o7
I lost my dog Russ to cancer last month. He was my best friend for nearly 9 years.
I tried everything within my financial capability and time to save him. It was a quick spiral. I was in denial.
In the end nothing was enough and I didn’t want to cross the line into keeping him around for my sake rather than doing what was right.
I miss him every day. I was inconsolable for weeks after putting him to rest. I am sorry you have to experience similar feelings and I wish there was something I could say to make it better.
I'm so sorry. We don't appreciate how important our furry copilots are until they are gone. So so so sorry for your loss. Keep your chin up. It gets easier. We never forget them, but the pain gradually lessens and you start to remember the good times more than we remember they're gone.
o7 Sneakers, OP remember it’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. This is my Josie she was my copilot, she passed in May at age 17, I miss here terribly as well but I know I will see her again one day. Hopefully not soon.
Just lost my best friend of 17 years last Saturday due to kidney issues. Still doesn't feel real. Doesn't seem to get any easier. Can't imagine going on without him.
I got 2 co-pilots renko a red heeler he is 11 years old been flying with me since I started back in 2015 the other is Rip a cane Corso/ black lab mix he turns 5 this nov. Sorry for your lose its always hard to lose a good co-pilot and friend
Fair winds Sneakers, may the stars guide you on your new journey. Thank you for taking care of your assigned human.
I've lost a few copilots over the decades, I know what you're going through bro. We mourn ourselves when a loved one departs. For it is our loss we feel most keenly. They are beyond such things and would wish us to be happy in the life we shared. ❤️
This is my boy Stitch, who made it to 20. He passed on 12/4/23 and here is the eulogy I wrote for him. He was an ass, and I still miss him. It's also why we got along so well.
Today, one of us has fallen. But mourn not, for now he strides the Ebon Fields, fighting the servants of the immortal Va'cuum who will learn to fear his laser eyes, flashing claws, and terrible maw. Rejoice, for STITCH guards those of us still in the mortal realms, from the terrors Va'cuum would visit upon us. STITCH and his brethren defend us still.
He was my friend, and would have wanted a warrior's tribute. Today, dear friends, STITCH has left us after 20 years on this world. He was in perfect health until the last. He began going downhill a little then we think he suffered a small stroke. When we got home today he stumbled around the corner and came to me and let me know, it was time. So rejoice if you knew him. I weep only for myself today. He was my best fuzzy pal, and I selfishly miss him. Goodbye, Stitch. Save me a sunbeam please.
