Almost every pet parent will experience anticipatory grief, even when their cat or dog is young and healthy. Dreading a life without a fur baby is a sad yet normal experience of pet parenthood, but nothing compares to the grief and emptiness of actually saying goodbye. Whether it’s sudden or expected, a pet’s passing will turn the world upside down in the most tragic ways.
Fortunately, loving pet parents like the quilter and cat mom who goes by @lol.not.today.xoxo on TikTok can find peace in knowing that their pet was loved and pampered until the very last moment. Her sweet, senior cat was 24 when she passed, but she made sure to give her fur baby the most peaceful moments before it was time to say goodbye.
For this weather-loving cat, that meant a relaxing nap on the porch to ‘enjoy her last rainstorm.’

This is such a touching way to spend time with a pet, especially during your last hours together. Not only do you get uninterrupted cuddles while your sleepy kitty naps on your lap, but you both get the comforting sounds of the rainstorm, too. It’s easy to see why Miss Kitty loved lounging on the patio so much.
