I volunteer for a cat sanctuary which has FELK+ cats, among other healthy/feral/FIV+ cats. Some of the friendliest cats are in the FeLK room so that's where I and my twin sister go after we scoop poop in the general population room.
Tommy was a one-person cat only; he would chase away any cat who dare interfere with anyone petting him. Tommy gave me hugs, he'd climb up onto my thighs, then my chest, to get closer to me. When he had enough petting, he go to eat some food to get more comfort.
And then perhaps back to me.
He started to lose weight, then instead of eating, he'd drink water. And, he'd let Lionel (kitten, FELK+) climb on him to get to me. Yet his blood work was 'okay'.
I just learned that he died suddenly, after he ate some breakfast.
I am heart broken. I wanted to give him one last hug, one last pet. To let him know I loved him.
I'm crying more for him than I did for my mother.
God help me if I feel this sad for a cat I barely knew, how I will feel when Ritz passes on.
But despite my sadness, it's all worth knowing such a wonderful cat as Tommy.
