EDIT:
Ok, so after posting this I found out that I was lied to. My cat isn't dead but instead my step dad and his daughter felt the need to take my cat to the shelter because they didn't want to care for him anymore, when they didn't anyways. My twin did. Then they lied to me, knowing the grief it would put me through. I spent all day on the 20th sobbing in bed because of it and now I find out they lied to me? So yeah, felt the need to update. My cat isn't dead, was just given to the shelter when he has problems that will make sure he doesn't get adopted and will probably be euthanized. Fantastic.
On July 20th, my fat boy, my marbled Bengal Maine Coon mix Kai had passed away. He turned 9 on May 24th and it appears he had passed quietly in his sleep and was found curled up the morning of the 20th. I spent the whole day on the 21st working on this as tribute to my fatty. I love and miss him so much, he was my baby.
He was born May 24th of 2010, just two days before my birthday, I called him my early birthday present. At first we thought he was a female but after a few weeks we found he was a male and I named him Kai because it was similar to the name I had given him thinking he was female, Kagame. He was very mean growing up but as he got older he calmed down, I got my dog Bandit in 2012 and Kai started to play with him. They were brothers and loves each other, sharing a bed and playing all day. I moved away from home in 2015 and could not take Kai with me but I took Bandit. I hated separating the two but I had to, I couldn't take Kai until I got set up to bring him with me and get his ears looked at.
He had ear hematomas in both ears but we didn't have the money to get him looked at, I left him with my mom who took care of him until she passed on January 15th, 2019. My twin took over while my mom was sick and has been taking care of him since he passed a few days ago. I cannot thank them enough for doing what I couldn't, I hated not being able to see him and having to leave him. I was so happy to see him when I went home for service for my mother, I didn't want to leave him again but things at home were not how they needed to be for me to have him with me again. So I left him, I wish I had known then that it would be the last I saw of him. I would have done more.
Anyways, I painted this is SAI of Kai as tribute, I love and miss him greatly.
Luna-Mei thank you for taking care of him for me.

Because they didn't want to take care of him anymore. I couldn't afford to take care of him or have him live with me (they live in Maine and I live in Alabama) because of me being unemployed. So my twin was taking care of him because she does have a job, plus the cat couldn't fly with his ear hematomas, they would have burst on the plane. So I had to leave him with them until we could figure out how to get him to a vet and get that handled. We were never able to, they got tired of watching him and got rid of him. The thing I'm worried about is that he won't get adopted with his deformed ears and bad attitude, resulting in him getting euthanized. I hope I'm wrong though, I hope someone finds that 9 year old cat cute and adopts him... it's part of why I started selling some of my old characters recently. I was going to try to get him back but even if I sell all my characters I won't have enough to get him down here. $50 to adopt him but it would be another $375 to $6k to get him shipped down here depending on the company. He's a 9 year old Bengal and Maine Coon mix, 24lbs last I weighed him, which is why it's so much to get him down here.
