If I had one wish, it would be that they could live as long as us. I'm sorry for your loss

That's a Monkey's Paw waiting to reduce the human lifespan

Not the worst monkeys paw for a lot of the humans we currently have.

Ah man, that sucks.

They may have been in your world for a short time, but they have gifted you a lifetime of memories.

Be kind to yourself, friend.

What a beautifully unique name for a creature of any kind, but especially for that kitty. They look like a bunch of dust and cobwebs decided they wanted to be a cat.

My heart mourns for the piece of you that has gone unto the next journey.

[–] Danika7@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm really sorry for your loss. It's obvious that Church was a very kind soul ✨
