My rescue cat Teddy passed away yesterday at age 15+. I had him for the last 1.5 years of his life when he was battling gum disease and liver cancer. It wasn't easy for him in the streets but he survived and thrived for more than a decade, charming residents with his looks and sociability. I met him late in his life when he was visibly struggling to eat. He fit right in with the rest of my cat family.

I had just found out his liver cancer had spread 3 days ago and brought him in to the vet yesterday when he stopped eating for 24 hours. We made the tough decision to let him rest when the vet told us he had massive internal bleeding. I was relieved that his last meal was his favorite steamed mackerel. I will love you and miss you forever, Teddy. If the fates are kind, I hope and pray I will see you again

I'm sorry for your loss. I also have a Tabby cat that was a stray when I met her. She's become a large part of my life. I'm glad you were able to rescue him, and spend that time together. I bet he was a very happy cat when you brought him home.

My condolences on the loss of Teddy. He was a very cute cat. The third picture hit me like a ton of bricks. :( Rest in peace, Teddy. :(

Whenever a beloved pet passes away, I feel that some solace should be taken in the fact that they were loved, and they knew that. In Teddy's case, he got 15 years of love from you. Take care. :(

They become part of our family. I'm glad for him that he was with you his last time, so while it's sad he's gone, it's nice he wasn't alone.

Thoughts & condolences for your loss, it's never easy to say goodbye to our little ones regardless of how short or long they've been with us. My family has had more than a few strays/neighbourhood cats come through our lives and you should feel contented that he chose to spend his last quality time with your family, they know when they're onto a good thing šŸ˜€. He certainly looked like a happy contented little chap. RIP beautiful Teddy.

What a lovely cat! I think you were both lucky to find each other. Even though the sadness can get overwhelming at times, I hope you will eventually remember all the time you spent with him with fondness.
