[@lifewith9cats153]

What a beautiful tribute to Stella! She will be missed but remembered with great joy and love. 🐾🕊️🙏

[@clandry156]

As much as it is the right decision, it is hard to say goodbye. Our pets loves us unconditionally & provide love when we need it most. 😢😢😢

[@asmradventureasmr]

I went straight to the comments to see how everyone is doing, we ALL loved Stella so much Matthew and thank you for sharing her with us. I was worried about how she looked in your last video and had Ms. Stella in my prayers. I'm in tears over this, even though I never met Ms. Stella in person. Sorry for your loss of Stella Matthew, you loved her so much and you were the BEST DAD to her. Take care of yourself and give Ms. Penny an extra hug and pet from me PLEASE. Thank you for showing the beautiful Stella at the end for us to remember her in a lovely way. I'm crying so much right now.

[@margaret4870]

My heart is breaking for you. You are such a good kitty dad. You have beautiful memories. I’m so very sorry. Ride on forever little Stella 🌈🌈🌈🌈 She will forever be there in your lap 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@margaret4870]

She was telling you it was time….

[@margaret4870]

Thank you for sharing this terribly hard time….

[@titanican2731]

I couldn’t watch the whole video because I kept crying. Fur babies make our lives full of love and companionship. I know this had to be hard for you. I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢

[@judyeuller7602]

I started crying the second Stella appeared. This brought up all of the emotions of the many pets I've had to put down over the years. RIP dear Stella💜🧡💛💛💚💙

[@gionun8950]

[@patriciamiller7495]

Sorry, Matthew. My condolences my friend. RIP Stella. She had a fantastic life because of you and your love for her.

[@mytrueserenity5666]

I'm so very sorry, Matthew. This was a beautiful tribute to Stella and the wonderful memories you had together. Definitely not an easy decision, but ultimately, the most loving decision. Peaceful passage over the rainbow bridge, sweet Stella.

[@crystalcote6560]

I'm so very sorry, Matthew

[@shirleenwest2067]

I'm so sorry Mathew . My heart goes out to you and to everyone who loves Stella, myself included. She's no longer in pain now. It was in my opinion that you made the right choice. As I have had to do that myself. She made us laugh with her personality. Now she's made us cry temporarily. But I promise you that each day will be easier. She knows and knew that you all love her. It was so obvious on the screen, it came across loud and clear. We will all miss her. And now I will give my 2 fur babies extra loveins if it's possible. They are my life. My children. Elliott is 9, and Essie is 8. The other day Essie and Elliott were chasing each other and jumped on me and she scratched me on my left collar bone but good and deep. But she was not in trouble. I just loved on her more she knew that she hurt me and that was enough. So never remember the bad things. Just the good and great memories that you all had. That's what she would want. Thank you for making and sharing this beautiful tribute to us of all of you. Including Brooklyn. Tell her hi for me please . And I love Penny just as much. I hope they are OK too. And how are you doing ! 🎉❤.

[@andelbee]

She was so lucky to be yours, Matt. And you gave her the last great gift that it’s in our power to give-a peaceful, gentle departure when the time came. Our hearts are with you as you grieve. Rest well sweet Stella. You made so many people happy.

[@patrickfrantz2466]

Animals DO have souls. You will see her again. A lifetime for us here but just a brief moment for those waiting for us to return home on the other side.

[@kathywallis3130]

Loved that girl so much. Hope Penny is OK during this difficult time. Everyone loves Stella. Rest in peace our sweet girl. So sorry Matt

[@brendabates9365]

Beautiful, beautiful tribute to Miss Stella Matthew. Not a dry eye here!!! Definitely the hardest but kindest thing to do as a pet owner. My condolences to you and Brooklin and to everyone else who had the pleasure of Stella paws on their lap.

[@margannaful]

Sorry, Matthew. I'm ugly crying right now. I've had to do this with my furry family members, and it never gets easier. NEVER. Rest in peace, precious Stella.

[@MissyQ12345]

It never, ever gets easier. But we keep doing it because of the joyous part, the love they give.

[@DorkForge]

This had me balling after losing two of our fur babies in 6 months of death other. You are an excellent cat dad Matthew, there's not a doubt in my heart that you made that beautiful little lady comfortable and happy right until the end. You have my deepest condolences and are in my thoughts in what I know is a difficult time. Sleep well Stella.

[@jefftaylor844]

Matt, when I read the thumbnail of this video, my heart sank because I knew immediately what the situation was all about. I'm truly very sorry for your loss. RIP Stella.

[@KimHenderson-NC]

I waited to get home from work to watch it. I knew I was going to cry.

[@johnj1602]

Rest in peace little darling 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔

[@patcohen2463]

I am so very sorry, you did give her the best life. Hold Penny a little closer now as she will be grieving Stella's absence as well, only that she can't understand where her buddy is. Hugs to you and Penny.

[@bonniejackson1321]

An Apache Blessing for you in this time of precious Stella's passing May the sun bring you new energy every day, bringing light into the darkness of your soul. May the moon softly restore you by night, bathing you in the glow of restful sleep and peaceful dreams. May the rain wash away your worries, and cleanse the hurt that sits in your heart. May the breeze blow new strength into your being, and may you believe in the courage of yourself. May you walk gently through the world, keeping your loved one with you always. Knowing you are never parted in the beating of your heart.

[@kelseynewland]

Heartbreaking decision for any pet owner to have to make. You guys had so many wonderful adventures and now she is flying high having so many more with her brothers. I am so sorry for your loss

[@moshrash]

Thanks for that share Matt. RIP Stella.

[@rgreed20081]

For a lot of nomads, cats are easier to take care of than dogs. Stella had a good time while her brief trip on the van. After time of grieving, you may want Penny to have another Companion. There are a lot of cats who need to be rescue. Penny's next companion is likely one of them.

[@xenamolina8]

You will be miss Stella RIP😢
