Hi everyone :-)
On Oct. 6th we lost our little bengal named Arthur. We received her as a boy and soon learned she was a she :-) hence the name. She was just 2.5 years old and we were incredibly bonded. I’m an engineer and work often from home and she stayed with me day and night... always having to be in the same room.
The engineering side of me refused to accept the standard litter boxes and we actually started a company inspired by her. It was going well, as we struggling along as a new company, and on Oct. 6th when I had just finished some designs I walked into our bedroom and found her passed away on the floor. I’ve lost a lot of close people over the years but never experienced such heartbreak as this. It’s just impossible to accept sometimes yet it’s reality so we have to. I’m mad I wasn’t there and I replay those moments over and over. She had HCM and it took her suddenly. We decided to push forward with the litter box she inspired but it’s been overwhelming knowing she won’t be here for our second version. The rainbow bridge is a beautiful way to phrase it and I try to be happy for her but it’s crazy how attached we become to our cats. They are all so unique proud and special.
