It's been two days since I had to let Pablo go, and the pain hasn't gotten any easier.

Every morning I wake up expecting to hear him, see him waiting for me, or feel him beside me. For a brief moment I forget what happened... and then it all comes rushing back. Every single morning, my heart breaks all over again. Usually he was always sitting and purring on my lap when I was making music.

After 19 years, he wasn't just part of my life—he was part of who I was. He was there through every chapter of my life, through the good days and the bad, always offering comfort without asking for anything in return.

I like to believe he's with his little brother now, the one I had to say goodbye to last Christmas after he suffered a stroke. I hope they're together again, keeping each other company like they always should have.

After 19 years of always having cats in the house, the silence is unbearable. The house feels so empty now. I'd give anything to hear his purring one more time or see him waiting by the door when I come home.

I knew letting him go was the kindest thing I could do, but knowing that doesn't make the pain any easier.

I miss you so much, Pablo. I love you, and I always will.

Sorry for the amount of photos, but he deserved it.

Today I had to say goodbye to my best friend, Pablo, after 19 wonderful years.

He was always there whenever I played music, watched girlfriends come and go over the years, and stayed by my side through my darkest moments without ever judging me.

Last week, the vet told me he had a tumor the size of an orange near his kidneys. It was slowly destroying him from the inside, and I knew it was time to let him go peacefully.

What I'll miss most are his cuddles, his purring, and the way he'd wait by the door as soon as he heard my keys.

Sorry for the number of photos, but he deserved nothing less.

Vandaag heb ik na 19 jaar mn beste vriend Pablo in moeten slapen, mijn vriend die altijd bij me kwam als ik muziek maakte, meerdere vriendinnen heeft zien komen en gaan, en altijd zonder oordeel mijn slechte tijden heeft meegemaakt..vorige week bij de dierenarts te zijn geweest kwam het nieuws dat hij een tumor ter grootte van een sinaasappel bij zijn nieren had en dit vrat hem op van binnen.. ik zal zijn geknuffel , geknor en het wachten bij de deur als hij mijn sleutels hoorde het meest missen. Sorry voor de hoeveelheid fotos, maar hij verdiende niets minder

Mijn britse korthaar en grootste vriend van 19 jaar Pablo zie ik met de dag ouder worden, hij wordt stijver, valt regelmatig om met zichzelf schoonmaken, heeft nog maar 3 tanden en kotst daarom structueel 1 keer per dag omdat hij alles naar binnen schrokt.. ook is hij in 1 jaar tijd meer dan 2 kilo afgevallen.. Los van alle kwaaltjes is hij verder nog super aanhankelijk, maakt zichzelf schoon en eet hij hartstikke goed.. aangezien het m'n grootste vriend is wil ik hem uiteraard niet los laten, maar wil ik ook niet dat hij pijn lijd, ik heb sowieso een afspraak bij de dierenarts staan vanmiddag voor een 'kwaliteitsonderzoek' maar zou graag jullie mening willen..

UPDATE:

Ten eerste; iedereen bedankt voor de reacties en advies! Hij blijkt dus een tumor OF een cyste ter grootte van een mandarijn achter zijn blaas te hebben zitten, ik heb Prednisolon gekregen en nog wat medicatie om zijn maag wat rustiger te krijgen.
