Clyde
Date of Passing: 01/29/2025
Message to Clyde: To my whole heart, you have no idea how special you are. You were born as the only kitten in a litter to our family from a wild hearted mother much too young, but you became mine. You and I were inseparable and we stayed that way for eighteen years of your life. I had to make the choice to let you go because you refused to leave me despite the cruel impending fate from heart failure. I write messages attached to pictures of you to you every day and I will never stop sharing and telling you how much I love you. Clyde, thank you for being mine. My gamer cat pal, my whole heart, and my soul cat forever. Mom loves you so much. And I miss you every moment of every day. I will love you forever and always. Sleep well my beautiful boy.
Tell us about Clyde: Clyde was born as the only kitten in a litter to our family so we kept him. In the beginning he was quite the wild killer much like his mother, but when he got diagnosed with chronic UTIs I had to make the choice to pull him inside as my special companion. He was safe and loved and I know he felt that because he adjusted so amazingly. The clingy nature showed nearly from the beginning. He always needed a paw on me, or to lay on his most favorite spot(my legs when I lay on my side). The affection and love Clyde showed me through our eighteen years is absolutely indisputable. He has quite the voice and he certainly used it when I wasn’t with him. His meows will be heard through the house from the upstairs room even if I was just downstairs cooking. We shared almost everything (healthy for him of course) he especially loved eating Turkey, Salmon, and shrimp! But his most favorite was our Saturday tradition…Wendy’s chicken nuggets. He went nuts for his nuggies! Every morning and night inbetween work he would snuggle into my lap and watch me play my video games. He was the happiest most affectionate guy. Everyone who would listen would love to hear stories of my soul cat. Our end began when he got diagnosed with heart failure back in October, but despite being given a day or a few more days tops, he gave me three whole months of nothing but pure unconditional love. There will never be another Clyde. To anyone reading this…I don’t think words can portray what he meant and continue to mean to me and my life. I always called him ‘My whole heart’.
