I had to say goodbye to my beautiful Charlie. He bravely fought for over a year with cancer for us to have a whole year of bonus days together. There’s such an empty space in my heart now my best friend has left. Forever grateful. Charlie, I love you ❤️ #love #catsofbkuesky #grieving

17 months since Charlie was diagnosed with cancer. It’s so heavy for him to carry and sometimes knocks him off balance, but somehow he’s still not in any pain. So grateful for another bonus day with my Charlie. ❤️

I’m really struggling right now too. My therapist recommended getting the Finch self care app and it’s helping me realize how much I need to put myself first. It’s very gentle. Please don’t get a gun. If you need to vent or a listening ear, I’m here 🤗

Feb 2025 Charlie was given a few weeks to live. His tumor is huge but he’s still going and 🤞 pain free for now. I’m always here for you, Charlie, as long as you want to stay ❤️ #cats #catsonbkuesky #cancersucks #lovemycat

Instant camera pic of my sweet boy, Charlie, still hanging on and enjoying the day as best he can even when necrosis has set in to the tumor. Today he’s here and it’s a good day. #cats #catsofbluesky #love #cancersucks

Me and my beautiful gray cat, Charlie, all smiles and alert.

Charlie in Feb when he was given a few weeks to live. Charlie today. Still no pain, but it still breaks my heart to see him like this. How long can he go on for? 😭🤗 #cats #catsofbluesky #grateful #heartbreak

The cat’s tumor increases by the day, and right now it’s bloody from being knocked. Old scabs and blood everyday now on his neck.

Charlie’s 14th birthday is tomorrow, and since we didn’t think he’d make it this far because of the cancer, we’re going to celebrate all week long. Here he is laying in his new pride bed in the sun with some new cat grass. #cats #catsofbkuesky #birthday #grateful #pride

So sad that my awesome Dockers boots, bought in 1994, are going to boot heaven. Thank you for 31 years of great grippy protective service 🤗 #goodbye #grateful #boots

Over 2 months ago Charlie was given only a few weeks. The cancer is still growing but he seems happy and pain free, so we’re sharing another wonderful bonus day with the best cat in the world ❤️ #cats #catsofbluesky #cancersucks

Photoshoot with the beautiful Kate Murray from Mary Kay #photoshoot #headshot #marykay

Kate sits down on a little wooden stool in front of an aged white wooden backdrop. Her knees are slightly off to the right, her left forearm rests on them, and her right elbow is placed on her left arm. Kate’s right hand is up and her chin is casually resting on her right wrist. Wearing a beautiful blue dress and cowboy hat, she smiles at the camera, looking friendly and approachable.
