Goodbye, Louis 😢 (TW: Sudden fur-kid loss)

Hello everyone, thank you for coming to watch this video. However, if you feel it will be too difficult a watch for you, I do understand. Please look after yourselves first and foremost.

It was a difficult video for me to make, I can't lie. Louis' passing was very unexpected because he showed no signs of even feeling off colour, let alone being so close to the end of his life. He is missed so much and it's still difficult for me to look out of the kitchen window, which I find myself doing, to see if he's sitting in one of his sunny spots that he loved so much.

Louis was an enormous personality wrapped up in a little cat's body and he's left such a huge hole. Even though he wasn't ours officially, he spent an awful lot of time here, especially indoors during Winter and only going outside to do his toilet things. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that I never heard anyone on our street say anything but nice things about him; what a lovely, friendly lad he was, how he was getting on in years, etc.

Any sort of bereavement, whether it be your human or non-human family, is difficult and sad. Please do feel free to share any stories you want to with me down in the Comments and it goes without saying, that we should all be kind and courteous, doesn't it?

I've set this video to "Not for kids", as usual. However, if you want to let younger family members see what it's like to lose a furry family member and you're OK with them seeing me get upset, then let them watch if you want to.


See you in the next video, friends.
