I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. I always enjoyed seeing his sweet little face on my tumblr feed back in the day. Please know I’m sending you all my love.
Ah, Davida... I'm sending you (and Dennis) so much love. Heartbroken that your family has lost another one - what a year. My own fluffy, wonderful girl, Green, is approaching 13 and this winter has left her slow and visibly more fragile. I'm terrified of losing her - for exactly the reasons you write about:
How will anything get done without her?
They know they're loved. That last day - he knew. Please don't let regret colour your heart; he absolutely had the best, most beloved life and while regretting time is something that comes with grief, regretting love shouldn't be.
He knew. Because if you didn't completely love him, you'd not have been able to write this:
"His trip to a paradisal afterlife was hard-won, and his getting there was merely another leg on his journey in search of Flavor."
I'm holding my girl closer than ever tonight. I know her rainbow nears: I'm just not ready to let her cross it yet.
This was beautiful. Thank you for writing this Davida, I will reference it in years to come for sure. People like you and Dennis are the ones I’ve dedicated my life to helping. Thank you so much for loving Nugget as much as you did and for providing him with a stimulating life, he was a very lucky cat and flavor was for sure his middle name 💔
Ok, now I'm full on bawling and so is my wife. I read it aloud to her, and as we started crying I had to hold her hand to get to the end. We lost our own precious elder void-kitty, Miss Pearl, last summer - she was 17 and had helped me through some of the most tumultuous years of my life. By the time of her passing, she'd left her birth state of North Carolina and lived in 4 more states with me over the years! She wasn't as easy a traveler as your beautiful void, and usually managed to disgrace herself at least once in the carrier - she was so noble and proper at all times, a true southern lady in that way. Your beautiful epitaph here for Nugget brought back all the feels
from losing her last year, as well as the persistent worry I have for how I'll ever be able to cope with losing my next oldest cat, Mango, who just turned 12 yesterday. Thank you so much for sharing Nugget with us all, and I'm so happy you two were able to enrich each others' lives for all those years. It sounds as if you both saved each other, just when you both needed it most. I wish her only the very best of flavors as she traverses and becomes one with the great void. <3
Thank you so much for sharing this! It sounds like Miss Pearl lived a long, rich life. I hope she and Nugget find each other. And happy belated birthday to Mango! It was Dennis’ birthday, too. Cherish every moment!
Yes, Miss Pearl had a long and happy life full of adventures! During one of those big inter-state moves, my wife let her out of her carrier to sun herself on the big dashboard of the u-haul during every pit stop. Voids love sunbeams - kitties are solar-powered little beings, after all. That's what fuels their purr-motors! ;-) I also hope she and Nugget can explore the flavors of the void together. <3 And yes, I noticed that Dennis and Mango share the same birthday - funny enough, it's also my dad and my brother-in-law's birthdays too!
<big hugs> to the both of you and thanks again for sharing Nugget's whole story. It's a beautiful honor to a special little being! I'm going to hug my two ginger boys extra hard today.
And it's a fucking blog title. Get over it. It's a blog mainly about food (though the definition of "food" is often stretched to the very limits), but they can write whatever the fuck they want to write about, including the cats which are often side characters in their posts.
By your definition of how things work based on names, I now must conclude that you are, in fact, made of cheese. So shut up and leave this grieving person alone. Go stink somewhere else.
Do you even know how to read, you moldy pancake? Her cat's name was Kurt Vonnegut, and "Nugget" was his nickname. That's literally in the first fucking sentence of the piece.
Also, the word "nugget" alone isn't a damn food unless you put the word "chicken" or some other type of actual food in front of it. "Nugget" literally means a lump of something. So unless you eat anything and everything that is lump-shaped, it ain't a food. (Though if you DO eat anything and everything that is lump-shaped, it wouldn't surprise me, based on the lack of intelligence displayed so far in this post.)
What kind of miserable incel lowlife has to show up on a post like this to take a giant shit on it? Go slither back under your rock and wait for your mom to come change your diaper.

I miss you, Lex! It means a lot that you reached out here. I hope you’re well!

This is so sweet and reassuring. I hope Green’s sunset years are long and happy.
I loved this and hugged my cat Ono after reading it, much to her dismay

Beautiful article.
Nugget sounds like an awesome cat, who had a wonderful and loving home.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. I am sorry for your loss.
WTF is wrong with you???
