Cats can live for 20+ years. Maybe there are a few left that were born in the 90s and are just chilling.
My last cat from the 90’s died 2 weeks ago. He must’ve been the last one. Fucker was ancient so I figured he wasn’t gonna be here much longer, but I figured he’d just go quietly in his sleep like all my other cats did from old age, but he was wailing and agonal for almost an hour before he finally passed and it fucking sucked having to watch it… 😭
I’m so sorry.
One of my childhood dogs started having seizures until one night she started seizing and just never stopped. We laid her in the laundry basket with towels and I gently held her down so she didn’t thrash too hard to further hurt herself.
My dad called the vet to see if they could have her put down ASAP. They said they couldn’t, but it was well after hours though. I probably sat there for 3-4 hours or so myself until finally my dad just told me to go to bed and he’d take her in the morning. I even offered to put her down myself because, I mean fuck. I couldn’t just sit there and watch her struggle let alone imagine how she felt. We tried to do whatever we could to help ease her pain/passing including crushing up a muscle relaxer with water and syringing it into her mouth. I would have tried anything.
I don’t know when I feel asleep but it was hard not to hear an occasional sound even through probably 2-3 closed doors and down a flight of stairs.
Sorry to hear that. My dog did the same thing. It was just staring off in the distance letting out moans and lots of heavy breathing for a few hours. It was absolutely soul crushing. I just sat there with my buddy in my lap.
Then how do you explain Garfield!?

Not all dead. World record for a cat is like 35 or something crazy.
Our cat who died last year was born at the tail end of the 1990s.
Only 90s cats will get this

Now playing: Them Bones by Alice In Chains. (not linking it because of the iconic AAH! intro, adjust your speakers and if you can hear the flies clearly it’s probably too loud)
Feels relevant to me being from that time, too. Probably also because of despair.
