Pretty Boy Fundraising Complete
Added 2025-01-11 21:16:18 +0000 UTCSo. Things happened pretty quickly after the post I made yesterday. After getting him home from canceled surgery, his overall health and behavior declined (and had been worrying in the days leading up to the surgery). Not wanting him to linger when he clearly wasn't himself and would only continue to fade, we spent one more night with him and then said goodbye today.
I cannot believe, and continued to be floored by, your generosity. We've been under general stress and tribulation for months now, with emergencies popping up constantly and not enough resources to fix them. Not only did you take care of Pretty Boy and my urgent dental needs in full, but you also essentially covered my other health issue that I'll have to get taken care of in the next month or two. That's his care and mine, all in one go. This is the first overwhelmingly good thing that has happened to us in months, and the only bright spot in our new year so far. We'll get into more later, but for now: thank you.

2025-01-22 00:18:33 +0000 UTCGermany and I read a lot of history books and I think we learned about him in school....not like detailed life story but for his special feat that had to do with our country....so to speak. I almost always name my cats after Tv or Movie Characters, except for Lucy who was named after my first kitten I took care for for a while. I called the cat Lucifer and then found out it was a girl and it became Lucy......well...still kinda a fictional name, come to think of it. I will always have cats and nowadays they would all have gay fictional asia drama names. Dong Sik. Weijin. Wanji. Fei Du. Kexing. I love my gay drama series but I am on my third rewatch on some of them. Sadly they only make the rules stricter in China, which sucks for Justice in the Dark and other Priest novels that I would have loved to see on screen. Way too many. If I ever had a dog, it would be a Winston too. I loved the interaction between Winston and Will in the first episode. Instantly relatable.....also being on the spectrum I always felt for Will even if he was portrayed as something only akin to the spectrum I think. Just a pure empath. And I think they still used the old yikes name hat hung around for a while to describe more high functioning autistic people. If people informed themselves more about origin of names, at least if they use it in fiction, the change to the spectrum had happened way sooner. Sorry.....completely off topic rambling. Spectrum, like I said. I either dont comment or cannot shut my mouth.

2025-01-22 00:16:25 +0000 UTCI'm a vet (well almost, I have one year left to go in my studies) and I named my guinea pig Winston, after Will's dog in Hannibal and also after New Girl Winston. Love to see other people picking their pet's names from TV haha. ^^ I have to say though, Hannibal is more widely known as the serial killer and less as the Alp Elephant Conqueror, at least where I'm from. Only people that did Latin and Greek, or were super interested in history in highschool would probably know about him here (Netherlands)

2025-01-16 23:31:46 +0000 UTCThis can be ignored because I basically just talk about my own experiences about dealing with my cats deaths and this is not about me but it kinda poured out. Thats why I put it seperate. Being a lifelong 47 year old catqueer I have lost 4 of my beloved cats over time (1 baby I called Toulouse after only being under a year old who I had found in the wilderness neglected and only three weeks old, full of disease and everything, but he got better after the vet and who just died one night on the spot due to an brainaneurysm, 1 black little angel who was called Dream after the DC Character who just was unlucky in a car accident even though we live in a remote area, the second Toulouse, a red chaos cat who also got into a bad car accident but who we could costly save and despite having lost a leg and one eye (having earned the Title Pirate King) lived long happy years after that but died due to old age and Noah, the little one who was afraid of everything who I got from the pound after Toulouse the Firsts death on my birthday, who lived long had fights and accidents that had to be taken care of but lived long and only had to be put to sleep as old age and his organs gave up and living any longer would have been painful but I still was unconsolable. I always am. And my oldest one now, Lucy, after the ones that have gone to Guhulia (my fantasy world where they either can either chill or become cat spies, all my friends passed cats also have the option to go there if they want) .....I cant bear to think about it. I will her to live as long and healthy as she can because Noahs death hasnt been that long ago. All the others (long story about the one female cat Deishi, sister of Toulouse, missing her neutering appointment just barely and my cats being all free wilderness runners came home pregnant and gave us five little ones that I couldnt bear to give away to a shelter. One guy (Hannibal) and four ladys (Starling, Mischa, Lady Murasaki and Will.......well technically not a girls name but who knows how the little one identifies....one shouldnt presume). Btw. It is always fun when vets ask if I named Hannibal after the Alp Elephant conqueror and I tell them no, after the fictional serial killer and his significant others, the sisters, nonbinaries.....I always get the weirded out look but as long as they do their job I couldnt care less.

2025-01-16 23:01:27 +0000 UTCI am just deeply feeling for you. I could barely read the text, I was already crying. That is why my answer is so late. I am really sorry. It has to be so goddamn hard. May he find the rainbow bridge or go wherever he wants. He can chill in my world Guhulia, either just lounging in Bercesse with a Ranger protector or become a catspy. Whatever he would have wanted best. Every cat, every pet that dies gets taken care of there if it wants and the people who cared for them before do not mind. They are always protected there. Hugs and take all the time you need to grieve.

2025-01-11 23:59:29 +0000 UTCNeeding to see our fur babies out of this world is one of the worst things about their short lives. I've been through this a dozen times in my life, and it slices the heart each time. Remembering that Pretty Boy was loved and had a good life with you is the best way to get through this grief. Hugs for you, Tamaris, and Dresden. <3

2025-01-11 22:53:33 +0000 UTCI've always seen grief as something that's deeply personal. I'm extremely bad at dealing with my own, so I won't even try to guess at how you two must be feeling right now. However your journey with it goes, I sincerely hope that you can get to that point where you can feel warmth while remembering fond memories with him. I trust that you'll get through this together. For what it's worth, we're all here for you as well.

2025-01-11 21:53:46 +0000 UTC2025 has started off in the absolute shit and it's going to get worse. So it's all the more important to take care of ourselves and each other, to stay centered, and to keep doing good work. I'm glad Pretty Boy had an easy crossing. It's always good not to try to cling. Sleep well, Pretty Boy, you were loved.
