    Kuna @wryote About 17 years ago, I was riding my bike down a country road with my dad and heard meowing. I told dad there was a kitten somewhere but he was unenthused and left (). I walked through the forest looking up for a cat in a tree when, at my feet, the skinniest orange cat appeared. 6:05 AM May 21, 2024 10.7M Views 603 19.1K 129K 9K

    Kuna @wryote Being alone at this point, I pedaled one-handed on my bike the mile or so home, with this wriggling purring skin- and-bone twig of an orange cat in the other hand. 6:05 AM - May 21, 2024 825.3K Views > 13 17398 35K 261 企

    Kuna @wryote After an initial battle with my mother, she agreed to let me feed it in the barn. This cat, while a purring mess, was extremely flighty and she didn't think it would stay. Despite this, I spent a night picking out names with my sister, (I wanted to name her Squirrel). 6:05 AM. May 21, 2024 742.8K Views 3 210 25K ☐ 114

    Kuna @wryote In the morning, I ran out to the barn bright and early and called “Lucy?" Silence. My mom starts to "I told you so-" just as the most chiming purr-mreow comes bounding from the hay loft. Lucy was steadfast and loyal for 17 years.

    Kuna @wryote Every sun-nap, every relaxing lawn chair sit, it was imperative to her that she sit on my lap, kneading and purring. If I bent down too long doing yard work she would hop up on my back and try to take a nap. 6:05 AM - May 21, 2024 692.8K Views

    Kuna @wryote She followed me everywhere, to a point that I would have to plot my escape if I wanted to leave the yard. She was unflappable with small children and dogs. She kept feral cats from pissing in our barn with an iron fist. 6:05 AM - May 21, 2024 649K Views

    Kuna @wryote I last saw her Saturday. Her organs were failing and she was unsteady. Yet she still purr-meowed and did her best attempt at a jog into my arms. A headbutt against my hand. . 6:05 AM. May 21, 2024 613.5K Views > 15 1313 32K ☐ 144 ↑

    Kuna @wryote ... This friend to all, Gale's frog hunting buddy, my shadow and companion- is gone now. You see it coming, but it doesn't make the shortness of their lives any more just. I think everyone would be lucky to know and love a cat like Lucy. I know I was.

    Brad Ford Taurus @crud_man To think we can just find cats in the woods and they'll just love us and love us until they can't no more. 17 years of memories is a lot. Grieving my old lady cat was a slow, subtle and painful burn. I wish you the best 8:35 PM - May 21, 2024 145K Views

    Ren @Galepookie I lost my cat today too. He was also an orange cutie and I miss him a lot. But it's nice to see that I'm not alone in this. I'm sure he's happy now wherever he is. ...
