Big Guys DO Cry - Response From Uploader

[@dawntilton125]

You are an exceptional human being! Thank you for being an inspirational pet parent. As a rescue volunteer and foster parent for furbabies, I wish all my furfoster babies would find forever homes with pet parents like you. Thank you so much for making a difference in an animal's life. Give Coolie a hug for me, and remember Normie is always with you in your heart!

[@TheCatAteMyShoe]

I watched your original upload and cried for your boy Normie. I lost both my kitty boys (they were brothers from the same litter) to cancer within 9 months of each other. I really did feel the tremendous pain you felt. Normie's Urn is simply gorgeous! I have both Connor and Tedley each in a oakwood box inlaid with real gold, each sealed with a tiny gold and 10pt diamond locket. Some people will never understand our relationship with our cats; I'll never understand them.

I just watched as had to let go of our girl 2 days ago and he was so lucky to be so loved. I am devastated but have to live with t. Thank you

[@sandyy.8244]

Just watched your first video saying goodbye to Normie, and how very sad you were. In this new video it's good to see you smile talking about Normie and showing his little Urn. I lost my angel, my forever friend Ebony Valentine recently... she was 23 years old! She now lives in my dreams and is never more than a heartbeat away from me. Blessing to you always.

[@LOLimashortarse]

Just watched the goodbye video and wow. It was so beautiful and it made me cry so much. The love for your animals is so strong. Mt

[@IrkallaC]

Jason, thank you for sharing this private and emotional moment. I have gone through this same ordeal and it was nice to know that someone else feels this strongly about their pet and I wasn't just being a big baby. Hugs to you Jason.

[@sashasgold]

God bless you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your a sweet loving man. And my pets are my children. I know the grief of losing one. You are in my thoughts.

[@YavaTay]

Hey Big Guy, I wasn't able to comment on the other video I believe it had reached its comment limit. Anyway, due to viewing that video I subscribed to your page and mostly because you touched my life deeply by sharing that video of your baby boys last minutes. My cat Smokey was sitting here watching with me and when I began to cry he softly bit my chin (cat kiss) and even placed his paw on my tears as if to wipe them away. No 1 can tell me they don't share our pain and comfort us thru it.

[@sirshitzalotkkk]

So touching much love for you brother!

[@clairestephens4916]

I just got these today in my recommendations & I am so glad I watched these videos. I've never had to have one of my many kitties put to sleep but I have had a sweet dog, Sugar, I had to. She was a miniature Eskimo Spitz & bless her heart she had her 1st litter of puppies at the ripe old age of 10 & then developed breast cancer. Puppies born in 2006, cancer in 2008, put to sleep in 2009. I was there in the room with her the whole time just like you were with your beautiful cat. All they need in those last moments is to be held, loved and told they were GOOD pets. You did the right thing and he still loves you for it and is looking forward to seeing you again. Maybe he's met my Sugar ❤ and they played together.❤

[@Spinny78]

thank you very much for your heartfelt comment!

[@alexahardy41]

Your are an amazing person!!! so strong!! he was such a beautiful boy and was lucky to have you as his daddy! Im so glad that you are doing ok! Just by watching that video he took a place in my heart. But hes still with you! He always will be! tell coolie I said happ early birthday and I wish him well for the many years he has left. Take care :)

[@pamjane1981]

i brought home a baby kitten that was left by its mother and cared for it. about a week later it started getting sick and i took it to emergency vet. $362 later it passed. i got so attached to him in just a week. i cried my eyes out watching this video, I had to bring the little boy home and bury him before my 3 yr old daughter found out :(

[@juliella565]

Hey Spinny,Thank you for making your video.I said goodbye to my childhood friend today. She passed in our arms today at the vet surrounded by our family. Your video resonated with me in this important grieving period. Thank you.

[@Jbabyyy2011]

you are such an amazing person. it warms my heart that there are people like you still here. you are such a loving parent to your furbabies, they are so lucky to have you as a daddy. i dont even know what to say, i was so touched by your video and i cried like a baby just thinking about my Sneakers and Sassy i just keep thinking about that day where i get to be with them again. theyre waiting for me just like Normie is waiting for you you are truly amazing.

[@BeastLLC]

Spinny78...thank you for your honest and heartfelt emotion expressed in your video. I am saying goodbye in 2 hours, and in a very similar fashion to my companion of 13 1/2 years named Zeus. I am also a man and not afraid of displaying my emotions toward another living thing! Please take comfort in knowing that this video has prepared me better than any other Vet or another human being could. Zeus will be in my arms in now less than 2 hours away. Your complete honesty should be highly praised!!

[@Spinny78]

Thank you Dawn! Coolie got his hug, and Normie is with me in heart and spirit! What you do is tremendous!

[@Crazy93SG]

I can really feel your pain. I have 12 years old cat that is getting old, have had some health problems. I can't imagine life without him, since he has been with me through later childhood and youth. He has listened and supported me always, when others didn't. It makes me cry like a baby when I even think about it. He's my brother and a best friend. I hope all the best for you, Normie will be always with you. In time, you will join him too, that's what I believe in.

[@moonbeam603]

I was having your anticipatory grief for the past several months because I knew I would lose my soulmate, my best friend, my familiar Noah sooner than later after some health issues over the past couple of years. I would cry talking to him a couple years ago that I was terrified of life without him and don't know how I will manage the day he passes. I was hoping he would live much longer like these 18 or 20 yr old cats I see online but he passed at home 2 weeks ago at nearly 13 yrs old. He said his goodbyes and passed near his favorite amethyst crystal at his paw. It was the worst day of my life and I still have episodes of crying, wailing, depression and guilt. I felt physically ill and just a brain fog for days. So please, if your cat is still alive ( since your comment is 2 yrs old), or to anyone out there reading this, please just tell your kitty how much you love him/her every day and enjoy the quality time because one day, this dreaded day doesn't escape any of us pet owners. At least they lived a life with us to give them the love and safety they needed and they didn't end up being abused in a horrible home or homeless and starving on the streets.

[@nikkirose4431]

I'm still so sorry for your loss. I'm glad his home now. May you R.I.P sweet boy

[@summerdowlig]

I hope u are okay bless you. I love my doggies so much.

[@shawnfitness9464]

i want to say Thanks for the video showing what you were feeling and the emotional side of the one cat and your best friend and your son. I can't see the name how to spell you cat name at the moment since I am using a smart phone to write this message. I lost my cat who was amazing 22 years old who had a long life. she was my mother and she was so amazing. we had to euthanasia her since her body was failing and was in shock and she deteriorated cause of cancer most likely during a year and few months time. so i am going through a difficult time right now.

[@Spinny78]

thank you for sharing, Jverburgh!

[@BlackCat_2]

I had my Fuzzy Face cremated mostly because my ex-husband wished it and we both had adopted the cat together though I got custody of the cat in the divorce. My ex took him to the cremation and had a funeral ceremony on his 7 acres where Fuzzy's ashes were scattered. The next day he brought the urn that held my Fuzzy's ashes back to me. I still have it and it sits in a very visible spot in my living room. - HEidi

[@Jverburgh]

when my cat catbert died a a few weeks ago i had to get another cat because my other cat pizza gets lonley and when he gets lonley he well... eats a bit more than normal and he gets a bit lazy but now that he has goten to to know my new cat he is very happy and he even purrd (he allmost never purrs)

[@Angelrc3]

I just had to put my three year old cat negrillo a few days ago. It is very hard and painful. If the world had more people like you it would be a better place. Please respond back if you can. Be safe and have a good one.

[@chris101gray3]

Your video broke my heart yet was totally relatable. I lost my cat last month under similar circumstances. She was 15, and I had her for 8 of those. She was a Cornish Rex I named Pixie and she was the center of my world. The pain hurts like it was yesterday still but I am beginning to focus on the joy and happiness she bought me. Thank you for your brave video, as it helped me see that so many of us grieve in similar ways and love our pets just as much.

[@Spinny78]

thank you so very much!

[@Crazy93SG]

And now my best Friend, 12yo Neo passed away on 1.7.2015. These 2 and half weeks have been painfull, I couldn't imagine this happening, just posted 1/2 year ago about the same cat and he is doing fine, but the kidneys failed finally and I had to leave my best friend and let him go..

[@Spinny78]

HUGS given to one physically and the other in spirit!

[@Spinny78]

thank you, Alexa!

[@sirshitzalotkkk]

Thank you so much I unfortunately have to put my boy cotton down tomorrow after 18 years I was 2 when my parents got him so he is like a brother and it just kills me to make the decision. Seeing your video gives me hope that it will get better eventually and I should focus on the great life we have given him. Ps where did you get that urn

[@oblongfan1]

so sweet. where did you purchase that urn by the way? would love to have that one when the time comes for my cat kids

[@jakesterman58]

I have 3 cats and 2 don't have much longer and I don't know how I'm going to handle that but your a good man thanks bye

[@MysticMe880]

Hi, I had to put my cat down 2 days ago, 2/3/15, and am having a rough time with it. She was my heart & soul. She was 12, & had a couple of physical conditions that although, she was not dying with the one disease, it was inevitable with the other disease at some point in the near future, so I'm struggling with the fact that it was my decision that put her down, and not nature's decision! She was my Soul and I'm feeling so much guilt and regret. She looked like Normie, all grey with big, beautiful green eyes, she had been in pain and discomfort for quite some time over the past few months and I just couldn't let her go thru that anymore, It would've taken quite some time to get these conditions, altho not curable, manageable with extensive medications. I felt her quality of life was non-existent and am now struggling with "did I do the right thing? Your video was almost exactly how our visit to the vet went, I couldn't let go of her just kept kissing her sweet little face. I miss her so very much & feel so much regret and guilt. I know it's only been 2 days, but can't stop crying. Any thoughts or words of encouragement?

[@18maysj]

I asked this on the previous video, but am so curious- did you adopt another kitty??

[@cooldude6448]

Hello Jason. I just wanted to say that your documentary touched me. I just cried when the doctor confirmed your worst nightmare. I just quickly wanted to say Thank You. My cat is about 11 years old. Anyway, you showed me that there is a road to recovery. When my cat's time comes, I will follow you on how to recover. Thank You.

[@susanmorris5114]

God bless you 🙏 ❤

[@Shelilah41]

You’re welcome your videos showed us that we are not alone in our grief. My husband and I had to put our beloved smoky down. I gave it my all months before day in and day out trying to make him better but nothing was turning in around he was declining it and got an FIV when he was a stray and in his later years he was declining he’d get abscesses he became anemic and his kidneys were not functioning properly I believe he was at the end stages. He looked very similar to your cat at the end where they were just very lethargic then he would hide all the time he couldn’t even put his paws up to try to clean himself it was so heartbreaking. I could not let him suffer anymore. As much as I did not want to say goodbye I knew that there was no other alternative other than him to pass at home possibly with seizures or an extreme pain so I thought it was a noble thing to do to let him get it done peacefully. Even though I knew this day was going to come you can never prepare yourself for it my husband and I both cried as he was being put down well actually I cried for days. I’ve had to euthanize many pets and it just never gets easy. I miss him so much my heart feels like it’s breaking. We have five cats left my oldest now is 16.

[@jenniferhof9448]

In case you can't see my comment on the other one, know that my heart and prayers go out to you, that Normie is waiting for you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge and that he's no longer in pain or sick. He knows he was loved, it's clear to see.

[@wispamilkshake666]

hi spinny, i just saw your very touching video of your goodbye to normie, i cried real hard it made me remember my boyfriends cat called blue, who sadly had to be put down as he had a underactive throid and a stroke where he couldnt use his leg, it was my boyfriends hardest descision hes ever had to make, it still haunts him to this day, we had blue cremeated and now he is with us. another cat my boyfriend has call buddy who passed away suddenly in january this year, he had a stroke tragically no human was with him at the time but the other kids (cats, they have 10 altogether) were there and they all knew something was wrong they wouldnt leave from the spot in the room where he was found, they didnt eat, drink or even want to come near us for 2 days i was the last person to see him and his face haunts me, i truly hope you are doing better, you are one of lifes treasures, if you ever need someone, we are here for you, love from the UK. xx

[@Spinny78]

thank you, toctc!

[@magdafarias1431]

Awwww :)

[@Spinny78]

Nope - I've had Coolie and Normie since 1998/1999. Not sure if I will be ready to adopt any time soon. :)

[@oscararroyo2546]

Hi Spinny, I want to ask you, why is the original vídeo unavailable to watch? thankyou!

[@cypressstoner2532]

Hey WCA 420 here I'm the host of the Stoner Hill site and just wanted to share my condolences and to tell you that I lost my cat Keyno on the 2nd of September this year around or after 5 in the am don't know what of. I had him for 12 to 13 years and I'm having a hard time can't stop thinking about him😢😢

[@daxtynquestereit8372]

I don't have a cat but I have a dog that is going to have to be put down and right know I am feeling what your feeling -R.I.P normie

[@ubb4me]

He's not religious, lol. Think about getting another cat. It won't replace your other cats but will add to their legacy.

[@LOLimashortarse]

My dog Molly has not got long left and its going to destroy me when she passes away ):

[@Hellopouch21420]

Any signs of normie? Because my daughter Emily (cat), ran away from home and I could not find her. I would give anything to see her again. Would you?

[@Scarz1991]
