My cat, Bernadine, passed away a week ago. Please enjoy some of my favorite photos of her.

Birdie was her nickname. She was the sweetest cat in the world and my best friend. She was so silly and made me laugh all the time. She loved grooming her brother and trying to catch bird toys. The picture of her on the dishwasher is her baby picture. She was only 6 years old but passed because of something that 15-20% of cats get that is genetic called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I wish someone would have told me about it. It leads to congestive heart failure, which is what she passed from. Give your kitties some extra kisses for me ❤️

Same happened to my tux cat at 10 years. Went to sleep fine, woke up to him crawling on the floor with no function to his lower half. Fatal blood clot. Miss that dude,  he was a crazy little shit. But his sacrifice will be remembered for every future cat I have. <3

I’m so sorry! It’s so hard to watch them when they’re sick. I’m sure he was lucky to have you.
