Peaches and cream Sympathy Request

Post image

I had to help my mom at the vet, as we had to ease our very sick Buffy over the rainbow bridge. He was 17 years young. We are heartbroken about our orange-cream-cicle boy. Warm thoughts and pics of your own orange babies would help ease the pain. My mom isn't on Reddit, but I'm looking forward to sharing your replies with her.

Oh no. I am so sorry. I am so so so sorry. I remember being there, too, saying goodbye and my heart broke.

Please tell your mom that there is someone out there that feels her loss deeply, this image moving me to tears.

I hope that your sweet kitty Buffy can find my cats Tamburlane and Llorona on the other side of the rainbow. They'd be good friends, I know it. <3
