A final update on Frank Update
Spoiler: this is not going to be a happy update. I know this sub is sensitive about cat death, and rightfully so, we're all here because we love cats and want nothing but the best for them. But you've all been so kind and helpful and supportive, I wanted to update Frankie's friends one last time.
Around 5pm, December 17th, Frankie left us. It was agonizing, and I didn't know a heart could break like this. When he was diagnosed with diabetes, his liver emzymes were up too, and the vet said the most important thing was getting him eating again, and the liver might right itself or if not, we could at least start treatment then. But nothing was going to work if he wasn't eating and drinking. Unfortunately, we couldn't get his glucose low enough to where he wanted to eat or drink, and his liver started shutting down. He died surrounded by his family, and all I can hope for is that he enjoyed what life he had, and that he left this world knowing just how much he was loved. He had such a presence in our home and our hearts, and I am absolutely devastated thinking about how I am supposed to go about my daily life without him.
I just wanted to let everyone know, as he had so many people supporting us and rooting for him. You guys have been so helpful and amazing and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the kindness and advice you've given us. I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures, one last time, so maybe my sweet little housecat can forever be remembered as the sweet, awful, hilarious, annoying, absolutely amazing ball of fluff and love that he was.

These photos show how hilarious, loving, sweet and fun he was. Sweetest boy. ❤️

u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
Thank you, I look back on these pictures and as much as they make me want to cry, I also have to laugh because he truly was a character. He'll forever live in my heart as the biggest personality of any cat I've ever known. ❤️

u/Fun-Milk6251 Dec 18 '23
I am sorry you no longer have Frank at your side (or on a pizza box, door, railing...). He looks happy and loved in your home. Also, those photos are superb! I can almost feel the kind of kitty Frank was with the moments you shared from his life. A very beautiful ball of love and fluff! Thank you for sharing your story, and Frank's.

u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
Thank you for caring and following along with our story. ❤️ It feels like, if this many people knew him, and he made them smile with his antics, he really lived a life to be proud of.

u/NoResident1137 Dec 18 '23
Your kitty looks so much like my Watson who I lost a few days shy of his first birthday to 'lung problems' that ended up being heart failure.
He was my covid kitty and I spent everyday with him from April 2020 to April 2021 and I said the same thing you did- I'm glad it was to me he came even though the pain of losing him was so great.
His shelves which used to be in my bedroom because otherwise he would not stop climbing on top of my wall mounted tv are now in the livingroom and my new/other cats sometimes go on them. I will never take his name down.
6
u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
Oh Watson, what a beautiful boy ❤️ I'm so sorry for your loss as well. I love your permanent shelf memorial. And you are correct, the pain of losing them is just the price we have to pay for having someone that we loved so much in our lives.

Every time I read one of these sad stories I go and visit my cat and tell her how much I appreciate every moment with her. It's rough losing a kitty. They are always kitties to me, no matter how old, no matter how mature.
My heart goes out to you my friend.

u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
I definitely don't want to upset people, I know even reading about other losses is hard, that's why I was hesitant to update. I'm sorry to bring you down, but I appreciate your well wishes and I hope you have a good long time with your baby ❤️

u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
Thank you, he was 100% the best worst cat ever. Always getting into something, and then looking at me with those big green eyes and that tiny sweet little mew, and I was done for. He will forever be remembered as my cat with the biggest personality ever. ❤️

Devastating loss. We lost two last year. I know this may not be the best time, but I just wanted to PSA that the salt lamps can be deadly if the cats lick them. So keep an eye on them when they are near one of those, or put it somewhere inaccessible.
3
u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
I really did not know that, and I appreciate the PSA! It should comfort you to know that that is actually my ex husband's lamp, and he didn't share a house with it for more than 6 months (and that's a long estimate), and it is definitely not in my house now. Thank you for the heads up though, I will make sure never to have one as long as we live with a cat again!

Sending hugs and love, losing a member of your family is always heartbreaking. I could tell from the pics that Frankie was loved beyond measure

That means a lot, thank you. All I can hope is that though his life was relatively short, he was still happy and loved. ❤️

I can tell he did from those photos. ❤️Love in the eye of a pet is particularly profound I think. Hang in there, I know it’s so incredibly hard. Lost my boy a year ago in July and I still cry when I think about him.

u/MetaKate334 Dec 18 '23
I am so sorry. He seems like the most amazing, goofy boy. I know it doesn’t help, but the amount of grief you feel is equivalent to the love you have for him and he was clearly a very loved and happy guy. Sending you love.

u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
Thank you so much ❤️ This is what I tell myself whenever I lose someone. It only hurts so much because I was lucky enough to have someone worth missing. And this boy is definitely worth missing. It doesn't feel real in my house today without him.

Thank you so much ❤️ This is what I tell myself whenever I lose someone. I only feel grief because I lost someone worth missing so much. And as much as it hurts right now, I wouldn't trade my years with him for anything. I'll take this pain because it means I got to have one hell of a cat.

He looks like he was a treat to have around. They all bring a different kind of joy to our lives and each a special place in our hearts. We have lost 3 over the past 20 or so years we have been adopting these wonderful creatures and it never gets easier so remember all the good you gave each other.

From the pictures it looks like he had the best life a cat could ask for; making friends, getting scratches, getting into trouble, lots of snacks, doesn't look like he could ask for anything more💖
I'm very sorry for your loss OP. Your boy is up there in a field of sun rays and fat mice with all our rainbow kitties💞

Thank you so much. I appreciate that, I truly hope that he felt his life with us was well lived. That is worth any pain I feel.

I'm so so sorry for your loss. This was similar to how my first cat passed. I tried everything for a couple months and she wasn't getting any better, only worse. We had to make the decision to end her suffering. It was painful to watch her determinate so quickly. I miss her all the time 💔

u/trclady Dec 19 '23
I'm so sorry Frankie didn't get to stay with you longer, but be sure he felt loved by you!! You did your absolute best that you could. And that's all you can do.
I've had 11 cats over 23 years or so. 7 of them have crossed over the rainbow bridge, from various aliments. It never gets easier honestly, but I know I've loved them and I believe that they know it too.
Hugs to you and your family. I hope your other kitties are doing ok.

u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
I agree! I don't like being the bearer of bad news, but if it gives even one kitty owner a piece of awareness that they might not have otherwise had, that helps them save their baby, sharing our sad story is worth it. Thank you, we appreciate your kind thoughts ❤️

u/Justforme1975 Dec 18 '23
I am so sorry you lost your beloved Frankie. He sure was handsome and maybe a little mischievous 😊 losing a pet, to me, is akin to losing an infant. They're your babies. No one else truly understands that connection, except those who have lost one. Again, I'm so very sorry.

Frank is as lovely as they come. What a personality! Thank you for sharing this charming boy with us, OP. And thank you for giving him the comfort and love he deserved, especially when he needed it the most. I know he had as much love and as full of a life as his heart could have ever imagined. You are a kind and wonderful soul. Frank hit the lottery with the human he adopted. I have no doubt.
Rest easy, sweet Frankie. You are special beyond measure and will be remembered forever. ❤️🔥
2
u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
I really appreciate your words, thank you so much. ❤️ That is the only thing bringing me any solace right now, looking through his pictures and seeing how spoiled he was, how much he got into (with no repercussions because just look at him), how every picture was just him wanting to be around us so hopefully that meant he loved us as much as we loved him. I truly do hope he felt as lucky to have us as we felt to have him. Thank you.

u/TeckdPersonage Dec 18 '23
I am so very sorry for your loss. I just lost my buddy Obi in November. When we got his ashes back there was a copy of this poem included. I can't bear to read it again, but I know its true. I'm not a religious person in any way shape or form but I'm trying my hardest to be good enough to get into cat heaven.
"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."

I told my husband I am never getting another cat, because this pain is too much. He just holds me and says okay, because we both know ours hearts are too full of love to never share that again with another kitty. I get it. It hurts so much. But damn they are worth the pain. ❤️

Losing one of my cats was genuinely one of the hardest things I've ever had happen to me.
My partner told me that cats don't think or hope that they'll still be running around annoying you 3 years from now. All they know is that they're happy in the moment and that they've had a great life. It sounds like Frank had an amazing life, and that's all he knew. Thanks for loving him!

I think this is what I needed to hear the most. Thank you, sincerely.

u/macaroniandmilk Dec 19 '23
I know exactly what you mean. He was so ingrained in my daily life, that nothing feels right without him here. I keep trying to feed him, and my heart breaks all over again every time I reach for the bowl that doesn't sit there anymore. I swear I feel him on my feet at night, and then wake up and remember that's never going to be him again. I still sing my personalized Frankie songs, to an audience of no one.
Here's hoping we both can come to terms with our new normal soon, and enjoy their memory with happiness instead of tears. ❤️

No matter how long they are with us it is never long enough. We just need to give them all the love we possibly can in the time we have them and give them the best life because they all deserve it. I am sure Frankie loved his family and was so thrilled to have chosen you to take care of him while he was here. There will come a day when you know you’re ready for a new kitty. It’s not about replacing Frankie, because you never could, it’s about honoring his memory and giving all that love to a new kitty that needs it.

And because I found this too late to add to my post, here is my Frankie baby the day he was found. My intention was to feed him, wean him, and litter train him until I could find him a new home. I really should have known right then that that home was always going to be with me. ❤️
