I am cats. Ask me Nothing

Still have this post bookmarked for being one of the funniest things I've seen on the site.
Everything really is sounding like it lines up. Rest in Peace to a real one
When I ran across that post earlier in the year, I laughed so hard I had to screenshot it and send it to a friend.

Rest in peace, precious kitty

He was always a bright and shining light in threads. We had talked privately a few times about nonsense and questions I had about his career. I can confirm from the pic posted that's definitely him as he had sent a censored one to an old DM chain:

Censored in a classic "him" fashion.

I reached out to him after his mild meltdown on site to see if he was okay because he was usually so cheerful and quirky. He explained it was a lot going on personally. I'm sorry it got to him. I understand that chronic pain + other issues can compound things.

I hope his beautiful black cat is taken care of.

It's always the saddest people who smile the brightest... I'll pour a can of wetfood out for you, boss.
 
Despite never directly interacting with him he was easily my favorite poster on the site.

Reminder to all the men in this thread during this Men's mental health month to take care of yourselves.

The obituary mentions him being a father which adds a whole new layer of depressing, especially if it really was a suicide (:_(
 
This situation does make me wonder about how many other Kiwis out there have died without anyone realizing. Particularly those who have attempted—or seriously considered—suicide, and are so isolated that they don't even have another user who was close enough to report or even notice their absence. This happened to me last year. It was also over a failed relationship, so I understand all too well how difficult it is to deal with.
I've been going through some deep shit myself for the past many years and have wondered if anyone would update my usual haunts about my passing or if my memory would just fade off into the background. The mind ponders, sometimes.
 
Fuuuuuuuck dude this hurts for real. I really genuinely loved seeing Cats’s posts and noticed his absence as of late. His posts made me smile a lot.

How do you mourn someone who was a fellow forum shitposter that made a real and positive impact on you, but you also never even knew his name or face?
