I’ve been really struggling to make this post. On Tuesday night, September 14th our cat Choco passed away during an emergency vet visit after he had a seizure and/or heart attack out of nowhere. He was a healthy five-year-old, we just celebrated his gotcha day a few weeks ago. Josh and I are sad, confused and honestly lost, he was our shadow and we thought he was in for the long haul. Our house is empty, completely empty. He didn’t have enough time. My last morning with him was something I’ll never forget, he crawled up to my side for a snuggle and purred as he stretched out his paws, it was my favourite way to wake up. I stayed in bed extra long that day because we were both so comfy. He was the perfect cat, he had a beautiful personality, he was kind, gentle and so smart. He needed to be near us at all times, I couldn’t leave the room for long before Choco got up to check on me. He helped us both through a lot of hard times and he even started to travel with us, we had so many plans. I went through the bushes searching for a “meow” five years ago and a little kitten jumped into my arms all banged up. Josh spent that first night sleeping in the bathroom with this strange little kitten trying to comfort him, we didn’t know he was going to be a part of our family and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I just thought we had more time; we needed more time. We buried Choco on September 15th, which is the day our Pabu (the ferret Choco never met) crossed the Rainbow Bridge back in 2015. All of my fur babies are together now, and I don’t really know where to go from here…

I miss you Choco, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to save you. We love you so much and miss you to the moon and back and back again. You’re a good, good boy.

Its my bubby’s “Gotcha Day”! We pulled this little man out of the bushes as a wee kitten 5 years ago! He was my unplanned early birthday gift from the universe and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Love you so much Choco! Thank you so much for finding your way into our lives and choosing us to be your furents!

Happy Birthday in heaven to our little man, we love you to the moon and back and back again. I remember when we saw you for the first time, Josh knew you needed to be a part of our family. We went out for pizza to discuss it and brought Momo in for approval. Next thing we knew Momo had a new best friend. We miss you, both of you, all of you so much.  ♡
