my cat died in his sleep two days ago and i only found out when i came home from college today. according to my brother he didn’t show any signs of illness, but on sunday night he fell asleep on my brother’s lap and never woke up.
i’ve had o’malley since i was a little kid. he’s been with me for more than half my life. he outlasted every single friendship and relationship i’ve had since middle school. the last time i saw him in person was in august. i didn’t go home for thanksgiving this year because i wanted to save money. i have no idea how to react to this other than the nonstop crying for the past four hours.

he was 15.
