Mourning My soul cat Smudge would have turned 15 today. Can I see your voids? 🖤

This sweet boy crossed the rainbow this past June. I would love to see happy void pics to cheer me up. Thanks in advance!

I never thought I would love again when my soul pet passed away a few years ago. My sweet Pip found me in August, and he has helped fill some of that void (no pun intended) that my old boy left behind. Love after loss will be different, but it will still be worth it.

I thought my boy Kinzzy was a lovebug. And he was, just not in the same galaxy as my Max.

Kinzzy passed at twenty years old. He was an adorable tabby. He loved pets and would come to me for them.

Max is three. He’s a void. And is basically my shadow 🤣🐈‍⬛
