your little dude reminded me so much of my own cat Piper I lost a few years ago.
a huge stray british blue with big yellow eyes, a teddy bear with fur
I found him in the hallway of my friend's apartment building scratching madly on the door across the hall with an eviction sign on it. He was horribly, horribly abused, I was afraid to even pick him up as it hurt him so much to be touched, I took him straight to my vet in a box, who recommended that I put him to sleep as he was probably too weak to withstand the anesthetic he would need to get him healed
at that Piper made his first sound, a big YEOW aimed straight at the vet. I risked it based on that and he lived for another 10 very happy years. He was about 8 the vet guessed when I found him.
He was paralyzed from the waist down due to diabetes and injuries to his spine but pulled himself through life with his strong shoulders and the will to live.
I have had so many cats in my life but he will always stand out as I admired him so much for overcoming what he went through and learning to trust, love and enjoy life despite those experiences.
you gave your boy such a wonderful life. I'm so sorry for your loss but hope you're able to remember him with joy over time.
RIP to a very lucky cat
