I found him when I got home from work today, it was awful. He had seemed slightly lethargic yesterday but was eating so I gave him a day or so to perk up. I have had him since he was 4 weeks old and he was always by my side. I just cannot believe he is gone.
Sorry to come back with sad news but my heart is just breaking. Our house feels so empty already.

Thanks everyone. My heart hurts a lot today. He was the sweetest cat and was my little shadow. He would greet me at the door everyday when I got home and always slept right next to me.
I can't stop thinking about what I could have done to prevent this. The guilt is killing me.
I only slept about an hour and a half last night. I need to get up and study but have zero motivation right now.
I know its impossible not to blame yourself and ask what you should have done or second guess yourself, but TRY not to. Given his symptoms, I would have done the EXACT same thing. I'm so, so sorry *HUGS HUGS HUGS*
How are you doing? I know when Bu passed, I felt/heard him about the house for like a week afterward. I'd walk in to the kitchen and hear him walk in behind me. It was simultaneously a little comforting because I felt like his spirit was staying around for awhile to make sure I was ok, and also heartbreaking because I'd turn around and he wasn't there. <3 <3 <3
@ivankitteh - Honestly I am not doing so well. I made it a couple hours without crying today and escaped and got lunch with my parents but am back home and feel awful. I still can't sleep and just like you keep thinking I see him out of the corner of my eye/hear him.
I have never loved an animal like this, he was so much more than a cat to me.
