I moved out on my own about two years ago
After about 6 months I realized how lonely it was to own a house by yourself
My girlfriend at the time - now fiancé - recommend I get a cat, as I wasn't home during the day to give a dog the attention it deserves
Inb4 man with pet cat meme
I rescued an 8 month old cat from a shelter who had been dumped there as a kitten - we named him George
Shortly after I got George I was hit by a car that ran a stop sign while driving my motorcycle home from work - I got hurt pretty badly
Needless to say he's been there through the good and bad as a comfort to me
Fast forward to now - George has tested positive for FIP, a disease that apparently effects less than 5% of felines
Incurable, and almost always fatal
Fiancé and I now have to go say cya' later forever to our good little friend
Pic very fucking much related
Give all your pets a nice chin scratch for George tonight

Why. They're free.
RIP George
My dad had a cat that died from this.
It fucking destroyed him.
My dad has a thing for Burmese cats and he just has the worst luck with them.
One got out of the house and was torn to shreds by the neighbour's inbred Collies.
One hot bitten by a snake that found its way into the house.
One got fucking stolen (we had a security camera showing someone break into the house and stealing the cat).
And he lost one cat to FIP.
The inflammation hit its guts the worst and the cat couldn't eat or pass food.
My dad held this cat he had reared from a kitten, that was trained like a bloody dog, and it died in his arms.
My dad didn't cry when my brother went missing, or when I nearly died in hospital, but that fucking cat broke him.
Fuck FIP.

>Breaking into a house to steal a fucking cat
Are Burmese highly desirable breeds or something?
>>2288048
I don't think they broke into the house to steal the cat, but the cat was there, so why the fuck not?
Why pay $800+ for a papered, show quality Burmese, when you can just steal one like you can a microwave and a TV?
>>2287928
He reminds me a bit of a cat I used to have.
Condolences, OP. You did good by George, and he did good by you. He's a good boy.
>>2288044
This reminds me of my teacher, she's always had bad luck with her dogs.
>always Boxers (3 so far)
>always female
>always call them Linda
>they each die of cancer
Rinse and repeat each time. It's like the breed and the name are cursed.
>>2288281
It's just the breed. All boxers are cancer machines nowadays.

He sounds like a very special little dude. I am sure he was a very happy cat, and you gave him a great life:
>>2287928
Does he have a very progressive form of FIV?
Most kitties I've seen, even with FIV, live a decently long life. Maybe not till their 20s like other cats but at least till 9-10. I kinda feel like you're giving your goodbyes a little early. I wish you and George luck (●´ω`●)
Oh OP, I'm sorry. Got to a different vet in the future, I promise it will make you happier when you find your next forever friend.
If by any chance that cat is still alive, keep it alive.
>>2288295
No, read the OP, he has FIP.
It's an incredibly invasive inflammatory condition, it typically causes death by causing the digestive tract to swell to the point of blockage.
Cats slowly starve to death in brutal agony if they are not given euthanasia.

Let nature run its course, op
>>2288538
Fuck off, I've had a cat die from this.
The cat deserves a peaceful death, it deserves to not die in agonising pain.
>>2288544
All cats deserve agonizing pain then death
>>2288961
Fuck off you fucking dogtard.
Go smell like shit to everyone except other dog owners.

You do realize smelling like shit and not realizing it is a catfag meme right? All you just told me is that you smell like the shits George won't be taking anymore :^]

When I see pink/orange clouds I'll think of your soft paws.
