An emotional post this morning… one I’ve been trying to put into words for a while now 🥹🤍
Mads… (Maddyn, but always known as Mads to me) where do I even start?
Mads has been with me since the very beginning of my journey back in 2022. We’ve been through so much together, and honestly, he was possibly one of the best cats I’ve ever met.
Mads had medication twice a day, every single day, and over the years it gradually increased. But never once did he really put up a fight… although he did make me commando crawl under the bed more than a few times 🤣 One time I was actually 8 months pregnant, but honestly Mads, nothing a commando crawl and a churu couldn’t fix.
He was a complete sucker for Dreamies and my big winter coat, which he became so attached to that one day I actually left it behind and braved the cold because how could I move him when he was all snuggled up? 🥹
Mads was on special food to help with his medical issues, but sometimes he decided he absolutely deserved his brother and sister’s food instead. And with that face… well… you can’t really say no, can you? So there he was, sneaking a few bits of kitten food and risking getting Auntie Gem into trouble 🤍
And then there was his little routine… you couldn’t possibly go in and interrupt him. First, Mads would visit the water fountain — not to drink from it, of course — but to dip his paw in it for a while. Then off he’d go into the litter tray 🙃 After that it was either back to wash his paws 🐾 or straight onto his mam and dad’s bed.
Mads, I could go on forever about you, my boy. I’ve cried writing this because you truly were so special.
You were, and always will be, one of a kind. I’ll love you forever and ever 🤍🐱🤍
A huge hug to Mads’ mam and dad for trusting me so deeply with his care and for allowing me to be such a big part of his life. And thank you for kindly letting me come and see him to say my goodbyes before he gained his kitty wings.
Love you long time, Mads 🤍
