Sweets Petites From the Streets Who Eats Treats (infosec.pub)

This was Sweets, aka Sweets Petites From the Streets Who Eats Treats, aka Sweetie. We sent her over the rainbow bridge this past Monday, as she was in a losing battle with tongue cancer. We gave her the best life we could. It feels like the world was always stacked against her, but she was a fighter. She had the voice of an elderly smoker, and she was part of our little framily.

She will be missed. We're in the process of setting up a tiny shrine for her ashes, as well as a bit of jewelry to keep her with us at all times.

Void cats are the best❤️

I'm so sorry for your lost, she's amazing ❤️

Thank you. Voids really are the awesomest. We do plan on adopting/rescuing another void kitty in the near future, but we don't want it to be too soon either. Still really weird not having her around.

You're welcome! Years ago I lost a cat after ~2 years, she was the weirdest cat I've ever seen, but she was amazing. You could see her sleeping in the weirdest position you could ever imagine and she would follow you everywhere. I miss her so much! Now I have a void cat and even though she's silly, she kind of reminds me of her sometimes.

I have the exact same cat pillow, and almost the exact same cat.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Me too! I didn't expect this pillow to be this popular.

Also, I'm sorry about Sweets :(

Thanks, yeah I'll have to find out where we got it, but I suspect is one of those mass-produced bits that just caught on :)

Kinda reminds me of something MC Escher-ish.

Thank you so much. Yeah, that's a smidge of an older photo, and I can't recall where that pillow resides now, but it's definitely still around 😺
