I am cats. Ask me Nothing

[Joshuan Moon]

One of my favorite Cats moments. On
@Fruttasecca's profile page when the avatar was the boykisser cat thing getting choked, this response:

Cats' untimely passing made me think of this ancient drawing mourning Old Dirty Btard from Encyclopedia Dramatica:



I hope he found peace.

 

[Dr Cruel]

As you said, we like @Cats so you'll understand if we don't believe you immediately. If he's dead, he won't give a shit if you post the obit.

Doesn't matter anyway. He got eight lives left.

Why couldn't Boogie have died instead? Why is it always the good ones who die?

Alternatively DSP, who he hated almost as much as I do even if he barely participated in that subforum. It really is awful that the worst people seem to live the longest.

I'm still kind of finding it hard to believe and processing everything but something last night did have me tear up a bit. Just thinking about how the remaster/whatever of Final Fantasy Tactics being announced would have been a huge deal to him as he loved the game, and how little he missed it by. Not that I think it would have changed anything, but it sucks he'll never get to play it.

It's a known proverb in my country. The more you are hated the longer you live.

Aint no way, first @Kees H and now @Cats it's wrong dude, I checked his profile randomly today and I hear this cursed news. God is collecting his strongest warriors and leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves

Cats's death has disturbed me on a personal level. Even if I never knew him well, I always knew him as the jolly eccentric who was good natured towards everyone. I dont think Ive ever felt this bad for someone I never knew. I hope hes okay, he was too good for this world.

The world is a cruel place. There is no justice in the universe.

Forty days of mourning, switch your pfp to pictures of cats?

It feels like something should be done. I've been mourning, but it's hard to explain to the people around me. It's weird and it sucks.
They say grief is the price we pay for love, and I loved this ginger menace below, until I lost him last year. He was a good age, and only had three legs from fighting with a car (before he came to us).
His biff ear here is the result of scrapping, too.
Meet Ozzy.
I lubbed him, he was a proper insane ginger cat, tons of spirit.
He'll be my profile for a while, but expect to meet others I've known in the next couple of weeks. I'll pop them here.

I put this together in memory of Cats, its a shitty meow rendition of one of my favorite "depressing" songs, the Farewell theme from Papillon. I wish I did something to help poor Cats and he was still here, okay.

Maybe @Cats was tired of it all the madness of this world. RIP and farewell too from the cat.

These are dark days, my brothers. I am a longtime lurker (ca. 2019) but today I finally buckled down and registered an account to pay respects to our beloved @Cats. I regret not registering sooner, so I could have told him how much I love his posts. My all-time favorite @Cats moment has to be the story about cat and entire stick of butter, a story which lives rent-free in my head; my username is a tribute to that very kitten, who grew to become a cat and ate an entire stick of butter. Rest easy, @Cats. Your posts brought more joy than you will ever know. I hope wherever you are, there are entire sticks of butter waiting to be eaten. You deserve it, king.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Oh I just found out, Cats was one of my favorite posters, and a lot of fun in the gay DMs I was in with him.

RIP Cats, I will miss my fellow kot poster.

This hits so much harder in hindsight. Ow my feels

He used to post guitars he was ricing out in the guitar thread and I remember thinking he must be a retiree or something, just sitting around all day building guitars and painting figures and petting cats. I contemplated reaching out to him and asking how I can get a life like his because it seemed so nice. Guess I was wrong.

Also at the risk of instigating a slapfight or a pissing contest or people thinking I have an emo haircut: if you don't understand why someone would commit suicide, you don't know how bad life can get. By all means offer a hand or an ear to people who are struggling and encourage them to reach out, but don't belittle someone's autonomy and judgement for making the decision to end their life. You don't know what someone else is going through, if they decide the rest of their life isn't worth living, you have no right to tell them they're wrong. His life was his to end.

Happy Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Try other things before suicide. It's okay to take a break, it's okay to ask for help, it's okay to not be okay. People are more compassionate than you think they'll be. You can always kill yourself afterward, it isn't going anywhere.
