Posted this in r/pics but got torn to pieces for it (whoops).

Bam was put down today because they found a mass in his stomach that was cancer. They couldn't do anything about it. Unfortunately I'm currently abroad in Germany so I couldn't say goodbye to him in person, but I skyped with my family yesterday to say goodbye.

I'm so sorry --pretty cat. Maine Coon?

When you Skyped, I take it here was there and saw you.

Still, it must not have been easy.

My condolences on the loss of your little friend.

Yep Maine Coon! or so we think, he was a rescue cat so we aren't 100% sure.

Yeah he was there and I was here.

Thanks :)

I'm so very sorry. He was a damn fine looking cat. It's good that you have family who could be with him to ease his passing when you couldn't be there in person.

Oh, and screw r/pics. We get it here on r/cats, and understand how much these little guys mean to their peeps. Hang in there, OP.

Yeah, now I see what people say about people on reddit being so hateful sometimes haha. I've been here for 5 years and never encountered it.
