RIP Sparta. I love you with all of the world and the world had a lot of love for you. You've been with me for 13 years, through so many ups and downs in my life and you were there to comfort me and celebrate with me for all of those times. Thank you my boy! I love you, I'll miss you and of course, I'll never forget you. I mean, I can't. Look what you did! I just shared you with the world but you did this! You were something else buddy. Rest easy my boy.

My cat passed away the same way. Had a stroke when we were gone and was paralyzed from the waste down and went blind. Very upsetting. Had that cat for 14 years.

[@matthewgillespie2835]

Mine had a stoke I believe as well, but was not paralyzed. For the final three months or so he was fairly off, just looked sidetracked sometimes, and liked to lay in odd places he’d never previously hung out. Then one day he just had a thousand yard stare and would walk straight into walls and stay there, couldn’t walk anywhere other than straight. I had to catch him from walking straight off my bed. He pooped as well. Took him straight to the vet and put him down... he was in his mid teens.

[@Gagegloede1]

I would be sad to but at the same time he lived a great life and 14 years is a lot. I would be crying and sad but happy at the same time if you get what I am saying.

We all snuggled him, talked to him, and he seemed to understand and be happy and calm down because we were there with him. After a minute or two, he drifted off peacefully, the last thing he heard was 3 of his family saying "You're such a good boy. We love you" and petting his favorite spots.

My sweet boy, Chip passed away in October. I was blessed to be able to have a service come to my home to help him cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge while I held him in my arms. There was no fear; just peace. My husband died a short while ago and Chip was a huge comfort to me through especially the hardest part at the beginning. After Chip passed, “The Kitty Distribution Network” immediately sent out a kitten in need of rescue. He was dumped on my sister’s back porch with a bowl of water and dry dog food. I had not planned on taking in a kitten. I was interested in an older cat who was beyond the kitten stage. My big hope was a cat that needed a new owner because of a death in their family or an elderly person couldn’t care for them anymore. I would have been happy to bring the cat to visit their owner wherever they were if I could. However, I got Percy, named for his Persistence. He was 7-8 months old. He’s an absolute beastie right now but his moments of being wonderful are worth the mean kitty stage! Sparta continues to bring joy even now. Losing a pet is losing a family member. Though I opened my heart to Percy, it will never stop loving Chip, (or Teddie, or Opie, or Isabelle, or Toby and Skittles, and Elvira and Jasmine, and Snoopy and MamaBaby and so on and so on…). I was blessed to know a lot of wonderful cats because we used to rescue. We rescued over 120 cats and all got good homes! Along with my husband, my Chip is especially part of the hurt and the joy of my every day now. I am sad but blessed. Thank you for posting your joy and your pain with Sparta’s life and crossing. Clearly you have a good and kind heart to love your furbaby so much that they would break your heart so much one day. It’s still worth all the sad that comes with saying goodbye. May your blessings continue always!

[@kristiehart9866]

To Cory: I really want you to know that you sharing Sparta with us for all these years had been such a beautiful thing. I started watching your channel shortly after my cat, Oliver, passed away -- around the time you started making Sparta videos. He was very special to me and I was very devastated by his passing. Sparta really helped me to cheer up. I soon adopted another cat, CiCi. In Feb of this year we lost her, too. So again, to cheer myself up, I came to check Sparta out. Sparta and you have always been light and happiness and wholesome joy that's always been needed, especially right now in the sad times we are in. Losing Sparta feels like losing a friend we never got to meet. I know the pain you and your family must be in. I know how badly it hurts to say goodbye to a beloved feline friend. I said it before, but I'll say it again, please know we are all grieving with you. We loved Sparta and he'll be missed. He'll also forever be THE Mean Kitty. Another will never take his place. Thank you, again, for sharing Sparta with us all these years. Thank you for bringing us the joy he helped spark. Thank you for those minutes, each video, where everything was just good and pure in a world that sometimes can be draining. We're with you, all of your fans and all of Sparta's fans. To your wife & kids: It's always great seeing you all in videos and it was quite obvious how much Sparta loved all of you. I know you're grieving too, so I wanted to extend my condolences to you as well. My hearts with you all! Rest in Peace, Sparta

One very special cat that would make my days special. I can think of 2, maybe 3 that were wonderful companions.

2020 Really is a bad year for us. Rip Sparta, wou will be missed

[@msloloproduction_s]

I went through something like this 2 years ago, I lost my very loved bunny named Waffles, when we buried him, I just realized that I would never be able to snug and cuddle with him again, its not easy losing a well loved animal, but it's also not easy to lose a living person💜 R.I.P Sparta, we miss you🥺😇💜💜🐈🐈

RIP Sparta. I’m sure Steve Cash is in Heaven with Sparta starting up a new Talking Kitty Series!

[@nekoarcade4239]

And together with Gibson they will bring joy to the angels

[@lindathetford3776]

I imagine the same thing, Steve and Gibson will look after him and keep him company. Just the kind of guy Steve was.

I am so sorry. It looks like a stroke, one of our beloved kitty’s died this way. He was loved, and loved back.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

Same. RIP

[@Aangrox007]

He updated on IG and said it was indeed a stroke :'( He apparently had an underlying heart condition. Poor baby boy. Sending so much love to the fam ♥

[@Phalxxx]

Lost my cat the same way too. One day he was fine, the next he couldn't walk, and seemed to lose awareness of things more and more as minutes passed. Much love to all here who suffered the pain of losing pieces of their hearts.

[@84y87]

I got 2 pets. I love them too much now, I don’t know how will I cope up with their loss. They’re my best buddies.

[@Autumn9]

Trust me, the years of cherished times you'll spend with them is more than worth it.

[@DrakenGunslinger]

I lost a Chihuahua poodle mix long ago, she had been with us since she was a puppy - an expensive puppy at 200 dollars - but we loved her dearly. Sadly, me my brothers, my sister and our parents were all either at school or at work. So, when we came back home.. she wasn't moving, wasn't barking, nor acting like her usual Karly self.. she died August 2017 because of a heartworm

[@Crucial0365]

[@Oldsoul305]

I’m a farmboy, from Cuba. Over the years of burying animals, and sometimes even euthanizing them. I’ve gathered a new understanding of life and death. We’ll all have to confront death eventually. It’s the price we pay for the incredible gift of life. So I’d suggest to you, don’t think only about death. But life as well. Every second, alive. Is a blessing. I would always be sad when my animals died, but later comforted in the fact that they were ALIVE, they walked, ate, had happiness and people who cared for them. A lot of living organisms never received a chance at life, and was destroyed before its creation. That’s how I look at it. Death is beautiful, because death is a result of being ALIVE in the first place.

The mean kitty song was one of my first KZbin videos when i was like 10 . i had it downloaded and used to play it so much and even showed it to all my fam. I'm 24 now and i RANDOMLY remembered the mean kitty song, checked it up and found this. i am devastated. God bless the sweet sweet angel. Sparta will forever stay in our hearts!!!

[@sparklelikeaghost]

I used to watch Sparta years ago, then time went on and I just kinda forgot about this channel... I saw a reddit post about KZbin channels people miss, and The Mean Kitty came up. I remembered him, and I went to check out the videos again. This is the first one I watched in a very long time, and I'm still crying. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you and Sparta for bringing joy to millions of people throughout the years. My cat, Ella aka LB aka Little B*tch died about 7 or 8 months before Sparta did, in 2019. I still miss her so much. She was a little rough to start off with, but over the years we grew very close and she was my best friend. I still feel a hole in my heart where she was. She was a good kitty.

[@Jenn79579]

I’m so incredibly sorry. My heart just broke for you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in such a big way. Loki will be waiting for Sparta on the other side ♥️

I shared “Mean Kitty” with my grandsons since they were born 12 years ago.. The video and Sparta brought us laughter and entertainment for years.. Doing the same thing with my 2 new Granddaughters this year.. My grandsons still come to life when they hear the first few notes of that familiar song.. We account for MANY of those 100 million views, thank you for sharing you “Mean Kitty” with the world..

Oh Cory, I’m so so sorry. Sparta is still my favorite internet kitty, he’s what brought me to your channels. So much love to you all right now.

[@baowow_]

I remember watching the Mean Kitty song when I was 12 years old, I’m 25 now.It reminded me of my cat because of how sassy he was and how Sparta reminded me so much of him. I’m barely watching this video a year later and I am bawling my eyes out to it. It broke my heart to see you weep because that’s exactly how I felt when my cat passed away this April. My cat died from cancer and we only got a month left with him. The same pain I saw you feel in this video is the exact pain I still feel til this day about my baby. I will always remember Sparta as the Mean Kitty and I will always remember the fun you guys had together on KZbin.

[@claudiusmaximus4088]

Seeing your animals die hurts, but it hurts even more to watch them suffer. My cat died of cancer earlier this year and the road to it was awful, he was breathing like how Sparta was in this video and he'd also grind his jaw and it sounded like something was broken. It was awful. Praying for the best for your family and that Sparta has gone on to a better place.

[@NickTubeFans]

This is very sad to hear. My cat is named Sparta because of the song. Stay strong! Edit: Just saw the Instagram post, RIP Sparta.

[@Woppieman]

@Hannah Fuller Yes Hannah, Sparta was put to sleep. They learned he had underlying heart problems that were never diagnosed.

I've watched Sparta since I was about 7. I'm now 19! He's lived such a good and exciting life and I bet, even if it is the end, he'll be satisfied with his family around him. We love you, Mean Kitty!

[@FiftyShadesOfGreyUk]

Oh Cory, my heart is breaking for you. I lost my childhood cat when I was 16, almost 10 years ago, and she had a seizure in the middle of the night when we were all asleep, and all 4 limbs weren’t working. I know exactly how you feel right now and I can’t be more sorry. Sparta has been in our lives (and yours) for an amazing amount of time and we’re thankful to you for sharing him to us and the world. Whatever happens next for Sparta, he’ll never leave our hearts and his memory will never ever fade. God bless you Mean Little Kitty. Bite on wherever you go next, you warrior! 💗
