    Had to say goodbye to our dear sweetie Emma. She gave us over 16 years of warmth and joy. I imagine her in a sunny window, chattering at the birds and yearning to be friends with the rabbits. #caturday #CatsOfTwitter #cat pic.twitter.com/dIuCykEZLN

    This is going to be a very long thread celebrating the life and times of the greatest cat the world has ever known.

    I first met Potsy at the SPCA in January 2006. We’d just received landlord approval to acquire a cat about five minutes prior. I knew she was mine instantly. pic.twitter.com/2E4EnHL7u6

    We said goodbye to our dog down today. He was 15 and once made a cameo in TWO FRONT TEETH. He wasn't a good actor but was a great pal. I feel like I'm stuck watch the first 5 minutes of UP in an infinite loop. pic.twitter.com/aj14dEm5jc

    Elderly Dog died suddenly today. We are utterly bereft without our gorgeous Monty and the house is silent.

    Sleep well, old friend. We could protect you from everything other than time. pic.twitter.com/GT4VAUSya2

    At 12yo and after living with cancer for 17months (they said 1-3m), I was getting very tired and the Rainbow Bridge was calling for me …..so I have crossed over.

    Remember Staffies are Britain’s Top Dog and all rescue dogs like me deserve a second chance.

    This is Samson. He is terminally ill and is being put down. I gave him his last groom. I didn't charge the mother and we embraced while holding Samson between us in a final goodbye. I cried a lot but I know he will be his most handsome dog in heaven. #Petsmart #Alldogsgotoheaven pic.twitter.com/lIBYHWjUbh

    This is my gizmo. After a battle w cancer, he crossed the rainbow bridge. On his last day we took him on an adventure to his favorite places, he munched on his fav grass,& held him tight as he crossed over. He was almost 16& so loved. The world feels different today. pic.twitter.com/v59idRE5yW

    The elderly stray cat my late partner and I took in has been very unwell lately, and earlier in the week the vet advised me he didn't have much time left. Today was the day. Goodbye, my gentle friend. pic.twitter.com/mS6BrJl8T6

    Tonight I had to say goodbye to my best friend of almost 18 years. Tuxedo you were so much more than my kitty and I am forever grateful for all you’ve given me. My heart is broken and I’ll never stop missing you. Mommy loves you chicken. You were the best cat in the whole world. pic.twitter.com/eWnN84mDKt

    Last night I had to say goodbye to my best friend. Words can't express the impact you had in my life and I know I didn't deserve you. You weren't a good dog, you were the best dog. You'll be in my heart forever and always buddy. I love you. pic.twitter.com/vTBxbyvA5z

    Today, my boa constrictor of 3 years passed away.
    I love her like any of you may love a cat or dog.
    Not everyone may understand, but I hope some will…
    It's not impossible for a human and a snake to share a bond.
    Goodbye Sakiko. I'll always love you. pic.twitter.com/T3jNnb3Isb

    Had to say goodbye to my PhD cat today. Rupert Charlton was a great little companion through my post-viva and difficult ECR stage, and then through the tough first year of my lectureship whilst living apart. Have a good rest, Ru-bear ♥️ #AcademicsWithCats pic.twitter.com/2FhtiXYtaC
