Sending love to you both and am so glad that Andy had such a wonderful life full of devotion and attention. He had an obviously superb life of kitty luxury--one that I wish all little four leggers could experience. I'm sure that any little critters you have in the future will be loving little reminders of your beautiful, lovable Andy. You both obviously have a lot of love to give to the animals and will find places in your heart for more when they find you. (And they will. They always seem to, right?) Treats and tummy rubs (if he like them) to that funny, sweet little Oliver.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much :) Oliver has been getting loads of tummy rubs and a few treats (his tummy has been upset from the grief, so I have to mind the number of snacks I give him).

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss of Andy, ladies. He was a beautiful family member. I lost my dog Chickee last July and it hurts so much. She was with us for 13 years. My youtube channel is dedicated to her. Please accept my hugs and prayers and if it's ok with you I could send Chickee to find Andy in pet heaven to show him the ropes and make a new friend. I know this sounds weird, but it makes my heart happy to imagine a pet heaven. Again, I'm so deeply sorry for your beautiful Andy's departure. Xo❤😢❤

I am so sorry for your loss girls 😭😭as i sit here with tears pouring down my face. I hope your beloved memories of Andy will help you push through. I feel your pain as i lost one of my beloved kitties Sprout 2 1/2 years ago. She was holding my hand in my lap all day until she looked up at my hubby then me then she was gone. Life has been sad without her as she kept me company when my husband was away at work and my family a thousand miles away.

Huge hugs, my heart goes to both of you he was so beautiful! My first cat Jasmine was a Ragdoll cat and she looked just like your Andy, I had her from 10 weeks to 16 years and she was just the best babie girl. We have two more cats, and we lost Jasmine 3 years ago but I still think about her almost everyday. She was my snuggler to go to bed with and purred me to sleep, while she layed her head on my arm and stared at me with those blue eyes.

She was in the process of moving to Vegas so everything had to be put on hold, her fiance has been in their house there already for a while now, she should be leaving in the next 2 weeks. Almost all our other little dogs are all in the 10-14 age range, a few already not feeling well here & there. Love them, treasure them, remember them. Best wishes & strength to you both💜❤💜❤💜❤💜❤💜

@@AThousandSplendidDolls Well, crazy me cause 10 dogs isnt enough in the house, I adopted 2 kittens (brother & sister) from a shelter last year. They were a year old around march, he's black but she is black & tortie & I named them Jack & Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas). I suppose subconsiously, my daughter moving & taking her 2 cats was leaving a void for me. I am a little attached to the 3 year old who is blind & I sure will miss her being in my room all the time & her loud meows calling when she is lost.

Sorry to hear about Andy. Especially since your parents passed away in your teens too. I am surprised that in your state that you're not allowed to put an animal down if their prospects will be dire though.

Thank you :) I'm not sure if it's a state wide law, but I know that vets in my area are very strict about which animals they put to sleep. My sister has a friend who was turned away when her cat had cancer. It was "too old" to treat but not "sick enough" to put to sleep.

Goodbye sweet Andy, I'm so sorry for your loss. And I love your poems and they made me cry. Still, I can feel how happy you are that you both had such a good friend for almost 20 years of your life. 💙💙🧡🧡 🌈🌈 And yes having a friend for Oliver is the best choice to do. When I lost my two boys who both passed suddenly unexpectedly very young, who were my velcro cats, even though their sisters had each other, I knew they needed someone else, just how they both missed that boy energy in the house. And I adopted again two brothers, again both out of a pet hoarder household. And even though the girls grieved still, they were happier than before the new boys came into the house. Even if it was hard for me to get some new cats after such a short time. And I'm still not over the loss but I love all my cats dearly, and this was the better decision, especially with very sociable cats.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much :) It was so sweet of you to get your girl cats new brothers. We've been looking into getting Oliver a friend--he gets along with all animals and I think having a companion would keep his spirit young.

Oh no....😭😭😭 I'm so so sorry for yalls loss..... when I saw the thumbnail, I knew i had to mentally prepare myself to watch this because I knew I was going to fall apart. Losing a furbaby is so hard, and I completely broke when I lost my cat that I'd grown up with. Runt was 16 and I was fixing to turn 15 when she died. That was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through up to that point. She was very much like Andy in that she followed me everywhere and wanted to be with me and was jealous if I paid attention to another animal. She would also "play" dolls with me, I'd hold up different dolls and clothing items and she'd nose or paw certain items and I'd dress the doll in her choices. She died from old age too, but she held on for about a week without eating until one night I finally let her know that I didn't want her to hurt anymore and if she needed to, she could go. She died that night😭 I've also had 2 dogs that waited for me to say it was ok and that I'd be ok. I know they're all together now and just waiting for me. And I know Andy is waiting for yall too, especially Shelly since you're his person. Every animal picks a person who's their soul mate, and you were Andy's. I pray yall find healing in this difficult time, and that Oliver finds another friend to be close to.

Thank you so much for your kind words :) Thank you for sharing your story about your cat named Runt. It sounds like he was very special to you, and it's sweet that he waited for you to say it was okay before he passed. My guinea pig Roxxi did that for me a few years ago. It's so hard seeing them suffer or be uncomfortable.

[@kelseypeterson5172]

@@AThousandSplendidDolls yes it is very hard. I've had and lost many many pets over the years, but the ones that chose me to be their person are always the hardest because I have a deeper connection with them. And yes Runt was extremely special. She wasn't my first cat, but she was the one I'd had the longest and she'd been with me through my entire life up to that point, so I didn't know how to live without her because I never had known life without her before. Oh wow so Roxxi wanted to be able to say goodbye to you. Sounds like she was closer to you as well then, that she wanted your ok before leaving you.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

That must have been so hard since you didn't know what life was like without her. Roxxi and I had a very special bond--she'd been abandoned several times, so it was really special for her when she realized she'd found her forever home.

[@kelseypeterson5172]

@@AThousandSplendidDolls yeah it was extremely hard. I still to this day can't make it through a whole conversation about her without crying. I have so many tuxedo cat stuffed animals that it's crazy, but every time someone sees one they remember Runt and how much I loved her so I've got several of her in plush form now. Aw that's awful that roxxi had been abandoned before, but rescued animals always sense when they're finally safe, and that bond is always special and close. I'm glad you were able to have that time with roxxi before she was gone. And again I'm so sorry that Andy is gone now. Having any pet that long is always a blessing, but it also makes it even harder when they're gone because you've spent so much of your life with them. I really hope yall all are able to find healing during this.

I am not sure what to write because I know how it feels to lose a cat that was bonded with you and was a dear family member. But I wanted to write something because your video was such a wonderful, sweet goodbye to your Andy and you are right, some of us "fans" have fell in love with your sweet cats through your videos. (I almost wasn't sure I could watch this video with what the title of it was, but I am so glad I watched it.) I want to thank you from a viewers point of view, too, because I needed to see this video to get to say goodbye as well. I loved hearing your story of how you got him and the fun stories of him and Oliver. Thank you again, for such a sweet video. You guys gave him such a wonderful life. I am so sorry for your loss. I look forward to seeing Oliver pop into some of the future videos. And I know he will, since he loves "playing" with the dolls, too!

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much for your kind words :) I know that Andy became a part of a lot of people's lives since I started this channel, and it would have felt wrong not letting you all know he had passed. I already have a lot of footage for my next "Dolly Diaries" episode of Oliver "helping" with doll projects...he's such a ham!

[@EnchantedCuriosityUS]

Oh no! So sorry.

[@Cerebralpalsyk]

Oh I'm so sorry my friends. I'm so sorry this is why you girls didn't come on for so long. I'm actually crying myself. Losing something so close like that would be devastating and having so many years. But you know he's in a better place. We grew to. Love, Andy. Rest in peace. Little kitten over the rainbow bridge A whole bunch of other kitties.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much :) It was just so hard to film this video, but it felt wrong uploading something else first. I'm glad he's not uncomfortable anymore.

[@Cerebralpalsyk]

@@AThousandSplendidDolls You and Colleen just have to think of happy memories of him now.

[@joannlee7239]

So sorry for your loss. 😢 You two are such good cat mommas.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much :)

[@Lynn17]

I'm so sorry for your loss. The longer a pet's in your life the harder it is to lose them, I had my cat Maggie for a similar amount of time before she passed. But Andy was a good boy and I always enjoyed seeing and hearing him in your videos.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you :) I'm glad your cat Maggie lived to be as old as Andy. It's amazing that some cats die before they are ten, and others live into their 30s!

I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my partner of 15 years to liver cancer back in 2019 and we had a Yorkie mix named George who passed away last year on June 30th. He passed away in the middle of the night under myside of the bed, Thank you for sharing your story about loss, it's never easy saying goodbye but I like to say see you soon

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you :) I'm so sorry for the loss of your partner. I'm sure losing your Yorkie you had together so recently felt like losing them all over again.

Shelly and Colleen I am very sorry for the loss of Andy. It's hard when you lose a pet that isn't just a pet but is a family member. I had a cat named Sherbert. He was a big fluffy orange cat and i was his person. I had him for about 10 or 11 years but he was here before I married my husband so I'm not exactly sure how old he was. He was an outdoor cat but he was still mine. We just fit him and I. One Saturday I could tell something was wrong with Sherbert and I did take him to the vet to be checked but there was really nothing they could do>He was just old. Sunday Morning came and Sherbert passed away peacefully in our backyard. My husband and I had both spent time with him and said our goodbye. We decided to burry him in the backyard where he passed. It wasn't long after that I looked out our backdoor window and I saw Sherbert sitting in the backyard looking fine and happy. He was just staring over to the door looking at me. It was the strangest thing. I even said to my husband, "Sherbert is alive he is sitting here in the backyard." It really shocked me. My husband came over to the door window and looked but Sherbert wasn't there. It was then that I knew that the Lord had showed me Sherbert- to let me know that he was fine and happy and to give me peace with that. That didn't make me not miss him and I was still sad. I still miss that cat today and it's been a couple years but I know that Sherbert is in Heaven and I know I will see him again. Although you and Colleen will certainly still miss Andy I do believe that Andy is there too happy and healthy. There are so many of us here that have enjoyed seeing Andy, Oliver and your other pets over the years. Thanks so much for sharing them with all of us on YTube along with all the dollies.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much, and thank you for sharing your beautiful story about Sherbert :) I've already had some great dreams where Andy is here and healthy, so I feel like it's his way of visiting me.

I remember when I went in yard and find our cat Blacky Joe dead.It broke my heart.He was actually my little Sister cat but we all loved him. 10:35
