Today I said goodbye to one of the best cats on the planet. Mickey’s respite on Monday was short lived. He started a rapid decline on Tuesday, and by Wednesday we knew it was time. Today we said goodbye to one of the most awesome cats I have ever had the honor to meet. Even more of an honor to share my home and life with him. This photo is a few years old, when he was still healthy. #mickeythecat #ornerycat #handsomeoldman #goodbyeMickey https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwax8XwAPSE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qhwc96mkzw80

Took my sweet handsome old man to the vet today, almost expecting we were going to have to send him over the Rainbow Bridge (he hasn’t been doing well). Though he lost a lot of weight, his doc wasn’t ready to convince us to pull the plug yet. He has an ear infection in both ears which may be a part of his balance problems. He’s tuckered out from the day’s indignities as you can see. Crashed under my desk with the space heater pointed at him and healing music for cats playing on YouTube. Poor baby. #mickeythecat #ornerycat #handsomeoldman https://www.instagram.com/p/BwTSzhHg8Or/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tcw2xmj80qkn

My handsome old man. Age and illness is starting to take its toll. I don’t know how much longer we will have him with us. I just have to cherish every day and let him go when he’s ready. Even if it is already breaking my heart. #NationalPetDay #mickeythecat #ornerycat #handsomeoldman https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIabksAjc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6svm2c2oidyf

My handsome old man… he keeps losing weight as a result of the kidney and thyroid issues. Still full of piss & vinegar, but it makes me sad to realize he won’t be here forever. #handsomeoldman #mickeythecat https://www.instagram.com/p/BvFvRL9AITe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d6s4f56esjs1

Sorry, had to delete and repost these photos of my ornery old fart of a cat. 😂 #mickeythecat #ornery #handsomeoldman https://www.instagram.com/p/BuYC4h1Anob/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m7p7d9k95qux

Hey! You were the one who wanted out when it was raining. Don’t bitch at me then fuss when I towel off your wet, muddy ass! Dingdong cat! #mickeythecat #blackandwhitecat #handsomeoldman #cutebutnottoosmart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1VHOmg_wp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10qezxp9x6keh
