So, I would guess that your dear Jellybean was a normal sized black cat, in a large but not unbelievably large tub. But when I saw this at first glance I saw a panther in what must be a gigantic tub.
My condolences for your loss. @celticrose@sunflowers
@thekaylapup haha :) thank you for the laugh! Jellybean does look like a big handsome panther, though! I could easily see how you could mistake him for one at first glance. And thank you. It has been a very rough road since her passing. She truly was my best friend. But the support from my FS family has been better than those IRL, whatever that means... but it means a lot that you stopped to comment that. I truly thank you. She was wonderful.
@sunflowers I'm glad you've been able to find support. I'm sorry you didn't find it with your relatives. Grief is hard, and sometimes a literal shoulder to cry on can be more helpful than a metaphorical one. When you could really use the later, I'll do my best. Feel free to ping me on the discord, I almost never check it but I'll get alerts if you @thekaylapup and I'll respond so long as I can.
Jellybean was about 23 lbs in this picture, but it wasn't a case of over eating or obesity. He was just a BIG boy. When he got sick his weight dropped drastically.
My condolences for your loss. @celticrose @sunflowers
