There's also the mention of him playing guitar. Rest in peace, @Cats.
 
That's a really bad picture (I'm actively looking for a better one right now) but yeah, I think so.

Here's an older picture of my boy in happier times. I obviously can't say for sure what was the straw that broke the camels back for him, but without getting into too much detail I know he'd been struggling with a couple major things for years and years.

Dunno if this has been known for a while or what, but I'm a friend of @Cats and just today found out he passed away. We've known each other online since 2005ish and been buds the whole time, and he was the one who pointed me towards Kiwifarms. He would often dip out and just not respond to me for days or weeks and occasionally months but keep posting here so when I happened to see his username posted here in an unrelated thread it made me come here and when I realized he'd also stopped posting just a few days after the last message he sent me on April 15th I got worried.

Started digging and eventually found an obituary and though it lacks details my assumption is that things got so bad he just couldn't handle it anymore and noped out. I'm angry at him for not talking to me first even if there's not much I could have done, but I'm mostly really upset that I've lost a friend of so long. He'd been dealing with depression for many years and it got especially bad after a failed relationship and I knew he was hurting but it was literally only a week before he died (going by the obit) that he was showing me pictures of the miniatures he'd painted and shit. It's a fucked up situation.

Anyway, I know he was well liked here and now that I know for sure I wanted to make sure people knew what happened. That's all.
I really want to think this is not real.

He was funny and serious when it was needed, always level headed, never mad. He was missed already, but now you know he won't be back, it feels different.

People like him are the ones who unknowingly made me a more positive person. Because their own energy made me feel good, and that's what I want others to feel in my presence.

RIP king.

This doesn’t change him posting some whack shit, and getting called out, only to react in the least sensible way possible
Anyone who uses this “fact” to ignore his unceremonious exit is an idiot

Absolutely did not think this fucking Chad was who was posting as Cats. Rip dude.

I'm barely aware of what he posted here, bud. Aside from the DSP subforum we kept to different parts of KF. I kept up with him via whatever the "in" messaging and voice chat programs were at the time over the years. He was never anything but a cool guy to me so I don't really give a shit if he offended you at some point on the internet.

He did the same thing as @Slav Power

It's not supposed to, fucking retard.

only to react in the least sensible way possible
He admitted he was wrong, apologized, and said it wouldn't happen again.
Because I saw some awful pictures and things in one of the lolcow threads of someone's neglected kid and posted the number for CPS in their county. Posts like that dont belong here even if they come from a place of good intentions. Null got pretty mad at me and accused me of doing it for "stickers" but if I wanted those I would have just stuck to posting cats lol. it's okay, I'm not gonna argue, it was my fault and it was dumb I let myself get emotional because I was worried, and it won't happen again. I don't want to cause any problems for him on his site

The reason why he didn't return after his temp ban was because he thought he was perma'd.

i'm still huffing lethal amounts of copium but it's getting harder to disbelieve
fucking hell he might actually be dead
 
How sad :(RIP. Kiwis, please talk to someone if you're feeling overwhelmed and hopeless.

Unless this is an elaborate (and in poor taste) prank, the obit sounds like Cats. He mentioned several times on the forum that he worked in prisons.

I hope someone is taking care of his cats. Last I read from him, he was fostering several.
 
kill youre self
I'm not arguing anything.
You’re his friend and your friend was a giga retard who had a complete spaz attack at the most mild of pushback. You and anyone getting weepy over this is one bad day from a thread

Are you legit arguing that because he posted a CPS link in a thread, he's completely irredeemable and you shouldn't care that he died?
