We had to send my cat over the rainbow bridge only a few weeks ago (just got his ashes back two days prior to me finding this game) and. wow. Wow, the purring and the bell jingling reminds me so much of him
His name was Ollie, he had FIV so he was already not in the best condition, even for a rescue, but he adored playing and snuggling up to me. He'd cry to be let into my room every night and demanded to be spooned. Wouldn't settle down unless my hand was holding his head and my chest was against his back
It would have been his 6th birthday this August, and it was so hard to let him go after he started deteriorating, but the writing in this game gave me a form of closure that I haven't realised i needed. I felt selfish not wanting to make the decision to stop the pain for him, but it's only because I loved him. And in the end, loving him is the reason I had to let him go, huh
I'm gonna stop my rambling there, and just say how genuinely thankful I am for you making such a lovely game like this. Even though I'm sitting here right now fighting off tears, but in a good way. Thank you.
