The Same Artist Who Made People Cry With Her Comic ‘Good Boy’ Just Shared A New One With A Black Cat
Death takes us away in mysterious ways. And while we can’t know for sure when or how we’ll leave this world, it’s the fact itself that we have to make peace with. Exploring the possibilities of the afterlife, artist Jenny Jinya created a few sad comics, and they’re really touching as well.
One is about a good boy who passed away a lot sooner than you’d expect, and the other sad story is about an equally good lady whose black fur stopped a lot of people from getting to know her.
While these cartoon drawings deal with a difficult subject matter, Jenny has found a way to present death as something hopeful, rather than devastating. And who knows, maybe it isn’t as bad as we picture it?

P.S. Jenny regularly contributes to Bored Panda, so if you like these black cat comics, check out her submission titled I’m An Incredibly Shy Person So I Made These 8 Comics To Show What It’s Like or simply fire up her profile on our platform.
“There are dozens of posters and infographics with various statistics about abused or abandoned animals. Many know the problems, but such information is quickly forgotten,” Jenny told Bored Panda. “I try to give a voice to the victims with my sad drawings. I want the affected pet animals to be able to tell their own stories. I hope I can raise awareness this way.”
The artist said she can’t decide if death is just a state or the beginning of a new adventure: “Who knows. I’m not the one to answer that. But I like to imagine death as a person who is just doing their job. People hate them for what they’re doing, but in the end, someone has to do it. I like to imagine Death to be a gentle and insightful being.”
Here’s another similar comic that Jenny made earlier
“For all I know, we could be part of the biggest MMORPG in the whole universe, but there’s no way of knowing it,” Jenny concluded. “Now go and hug your pet!”
People started relating to the first strip by sharing pictures of their black kitties
I literally just stopped crying due to depression like an hour ago and now this.
*hugs*

Thanks everyone. Also I have a cat. She's a rescue. I used to have a black cat he passed away from old age last year. Really though, thanks all.
Rescues are the best but that's just my opinion. Hope you're having a better day than before.
More *hugs* and a little prayer for you too.
I am just a bit, thanks. Also I agree. Adopt, don't shop. Thanks again, doubly so for checking back in. Small things like that do mean a lot.
Hang in there the best you can.
I hope you feel better fast. Warm hugs for you.
I've been keeping my depression tears in for the past 38 years. I think I may melt soon. 😔
I completely understand. Depression is super tricky and often makes it hard to release all those feelings and instead keep them in and building while looking fine on the outside. I often find after I do have a big break and cry a lot, I will (temporarily) feel almost normal for once. It is hard though. Fight on.
(Hugs)
*Hugs*
Oops, repeat.
Adopt a pet.
I have one! She was feral the first two years of her life and had two litters of kittens in that time and was pregnant when I found her! She gave birth at my house and at the time I didn't know if I would keep her so just called her mama kitty, but she decided that was her forever name and has become the cuddliest most chatty cutie. I agree your advice is good. I often suffer from fits due to having multiple types of depression (chronic atypical and a few others) as well as an anxiety disorder, relaxation induced anxiety disorder, and other more personal things. She keeps me stable through it all.
That "Good Boy" comic gets me every darn time. The "Me is the death" panel makes me smile uncontrollably though. The black cat comic is thoughtful, and bittersweet.
This is so sad yet beautiful... What a nice way to portrait death and the sadness that comes with it
Ani: I can understand your comment in relation to the dog (I mean: everyone loves a "happy ending", right?) BUT..what/where is the cat's "reward"? She was run over O.N PURPOSE...WHO did THAT benefit??
It's not a full story. There is continuation
IKR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid ppl are dumb and hate cats
I rarely cry at stuff like this but I completely lost it at this. Especially "It's ok. You'll never be cold again, or left behind."
I'm crying again now.. ❤️❤️
This breaks my heart. Someone had shot my sweet Pepper, a gorgeous black house panther with the most affectionate disposition and a purr that was even bigger than he was, before he found me gardening in my yard 16 summers ago. He died this past August after a two-year battle with congestive heart failure. It seems extra cruel that he died from having a big heart. He took such faithful care of his big feline brother, his big feline sister and his little feline sister before him and his little feline sister, who joined our family at the end of last year, and me. There are no words that accurately convey how much I miss him.
Jackie, I am very sorry for your loss of Pepper. He sounds like a right love. Whoever shot him was cruel and evil. I don't agree with people's stigma attached to black cats or any cats. I have heard many times: "What are you getting so worked up about? It's just a cat.". No, it is not just a cat. It deserves love, affection, food, and a good home just like any being. Bless you, Pepper, and your kitties.
I rescued a battleship gray 9 month old kitten (14 pounds at 9 months!) It turned out when the vet checked his 'arthritis' that he had several(!!!) BB pellets in his shoulder. [#######!]
That’s a big kitten! I like to think maybe he ate the pea brain with the BB gun:-)
16 years ago you were gardening when Pepper came to you for help after being shot. You saved his life and cared for him until the end. Bless you.
And now I want to see a followup comic of when the old woman passes away (yes another death but hear me out) and the cat greeting her lovingly and explaining that she didn't leave willingly. And then they will be together in heaven
And now YOU made me cry as well. But it would be a beautiful addition to the comic for sure.
Everytime i read a sad story about a cat or a dog or any animal, i hug my cat and let him know he will never know hows to not be loved . I wish those animals get somebody to tell them the same one day
i did the same thing with all my cats
Way to get ne right in the feels.
Right there with you.
Where I live, shelters can't adopt out black animals for the whole month of October b/c people get wound up and do horrible sh*t to the black animals. So, yeah, I'm bawling...
Leo: I agree with you. Humans are not so enlightened that we think that we can be stewards of the animal world. Most of us are scourges upon the world.
I rescue animals (even wild ones) and none are so willfully vicious as humans.
Wow, that's horrible. I can't imagine people would adopt a black cat with such a cruel purpose.
They think it's the proper thing to do in the name of their religion. Or to have a "joke" at Halloween. I've seen parents laugh when their kids *throw kittens by the hind legs at trees*. Humans. Yuck.
I believe ours does this too. They have such a hard time adopting out the black dogs though :'( there's a reduced price for them and other program incentives to try to get more people to adopt them since they have such a hard time finding forever homes.
These two stories really got to me. I am typing through my tears...at work. Rest easy to all the kitties and doggies.
Makes me want to adopt a black cat & a puppy.
You would be a hero for adopting either one or both. And they would change your life for the better.
i love black cats, they are not bad luck, they are the same as other cats. i have a black and her name is boba. i love her and she is the sweetest and most playful thing ever. these two comics are really sad, i wish the best for every animal
I have had many black cats but my favorite rescue was an old timer we named "Mr. No Ears". He was old, broken, with ears scratched raw from mite infection. Managed to trap him one night and let him stay in the trap until the next day. He seemed to become a new cat, having spent a night under shelter. Unfortunately one of his pads was cancerous and he did not last long but he had a really good life....for six months. Eating in the house with everyone else and even sleeping on the bed. Old-No-Ear...03-png.jpg
I know those six months and the love he got made up for everything else.
I’m so glad he got the live the good life with you before the end.
In the UK, black cats are lucky! I grew up hoping one would cross my path to bring me good luck.
I did not expect to cry so hard at this. The kid in the Good Boy comic looks almost exactly like my best friend did. They were non binary and killed in a trans hate attack three years ago. I honestly hope that they had an animal that said me is the death to them when they passed. This is a wonderful depiction of sadness and abuse towards animals, but it could apply to people too. Thank you for making this, but I cried way too hard.
Oh, I should not have read this. *Hugs my three black kitties*
The puppy one breaks my heart when the pup says "maybe I was a bad dog" like no, Love! You were the bestest one! 😭😭😭
The fact that people run over cats on purpose is devastating to me. If I were to ever hear someone confess to it, I'd do anything within my power to destroy them.
My best school friend remembers the jerk that came off the road into the grassy area where she was playing with her puppy, running over the puppy in front of her. She was about 3 at the time. People can be so evil.
There is no way that person has a soul. so cruel.
This makes me feel like crying
I miss my buddy Rowdy. Still hurts Rowdy-5dcc...ca-png.jpg
and no this isn't upside down. This is him looking down at me from the arm of the couch.
I've got a few pictures like that, but from the headboard of my bed, my panther and her tuxedo sister love to play gargoyle.
This is my best friend, "Lucky." :) 67943511_2...756485.jpg
Especially when you manage not to trip over them when they dart in front of you in the dark.
This is beautiful, more than a few tears were shed. Death is nicely portrayed, in a beautiful way.
This is too sad. *weeps*
As much as it's a sad topic, I hope that similar to the dog comic, when the lady's time is up, the cat comes back.
I have a black kitty names Sansa! She is 13 years old, and is the our last cat out of 7 cats! (Zorra, Arrya, Bianca, Josie, Terra, and Moe were the others)
Great, make me cry in a team meeting. Watch me explain this.
I wish I could! Thanks for a good laugh after the tears.
These cartoons made me cry. I’ve had pets my whole life, and well understand that animals are sentient beings. They feel pain, sadness, and joy just like we do. And, just like children, they think any upset or neglect they suffer is their fault—-when it just isn’t. I also don’t get people who not only hold on to stupid, outdated, and disproven superstitions, but also act on them so cruelly. My black cat Jack is 5 years old and 14 lbs—-but was the runt of his litter (who were abandoned at the dead end of our street and wandered into our yard—-we got the others adopted by good people) and the only black kitten. He’s also very laid back, and the funniest and most loving little guy. Plus, he’s that rare cat who will let you pet him anywhere, including his belly. I just wish the comment section down here would let me upload a picture of him.
My gals like belly rubs too, I worked with them on it when they were kittens, and they will roll over and present their tummies for a rub when they feel like it.
Reminds me of Terry Pratchett's take on ol' Mort (Death). He's actually quite a reasonable, personable, and even friendly fellow. And he points out that, in the end, none of us actually fear Death; we fear pain and loss and separation, and Death is the friend that brings an end to all of that. GNU Sir Terry, may your name always be spoken.
I thought of him, also.
No, YOU'RE crying!
When I learned black cats where least likely to get adopted I solely try to seduce black ones at the animal shelter.
At our local SPCA, black kittens go first. Go figure.
Ok, I didn't need to see this to cry my eyes out now ;( *sobs* People are so so cruel ;(
Damn, could you not? This is too sad, I don't need this in my life. Also, one of our 5 cats is a black cat and she's the sweetest and prettiest of them all!
We had a kitten come to our back door and she wouldn't leave, she tried to come in every time we opened the door. She was so skinny and sad that after a day we fed her but we already have 5 cats and had no intention of adopting a 6th. About a week after we started feeding her, it rained really hard one night and my husband and I both felt so bad that she was outside in the rain. She moved in the next day. She has had all her shots, been spayed and is now part of our crazy family. My husband named her Gypsy because of her early drifting lifestyle.
She was probably wondering when you silly humans were going to get it through your heads that she was now your cat. I'm glad you did.
I have some friends who have last both their dogs to non-contagious disease this year (their old man dog just passed), and they're fighting it because she is very allergic to cats, but they seem to have been adopted by a couple cats. They actually found a kitten in their yard earlier this year that tried to claim them, but they found her a very nice home where she gets to boss around a Newfie and rule the roost like the little princess she is while being spoiled, but the other cats keep trying to claim my friends. And of course, all their friends are rooting for the kitties, lol. (and they'd be all for it, except for the allergies)
I had a black cat she died about 5 years ago age 19 I miss her everyday
i love black cats so much i pet one everyday when im walking home from school and im actually crying i- :-(((
I really don't understand how people can hate innocent little black cats. I used to have a black cat myself (though she died 2 years back because of a tumor.) I loved her so much. She didn't bring any "bad luck." Only happiness and cuteness.
This broke me
I absolutely love black cats (I'm just extremely allergic to all cats now). I had a pair of black rabbits about a year ago. Now I have 3 bunnies one of which is black (also a rescue).
Dude, so heartbreaking. I need to go home and squeeze my black cat now.
How can you not love black animals? They are beautiful and adorable good boys and girls.
It's so beautiful. It touched my soul.
Even more important lesson -- KEEP CATS INSIDE. They should only be outside in an enclosed 'cat run/catio' or on a leash. If they're not roaming loose, they can't be hit by cars. And forget about TNR -- it doesn't help prevent this kind of thing either.
I always tell the animals that I see dead in the road how sorry I am that they had to go out like that, all alone, and tell them that I love them. Whether it be a cat, dog, squirrel, bunny, a bird, I always want them to know that SOMEONE on this planet gave a sh!t about them. It usually goes something like 'Aww gd damm!it!! I'm so sorry buddy; I love you.' And then it's almost always followed by a rant about how much I despise human beings.
Made me go find my black kitty and give her some extra lovin
My black rabbit passed through two different rescue organizations (first was beyond capacity and was going to have to put down the animals that had been there the longest, thankfully the second was able to make space with a foster) before he found his way to me. He was so sweet and low-maintenance, but never got picked because he wasn't as "cute" as the other coloured bunnies. We seriously need stricter legislation for the breeding and sale of pets. People profit off of breeding surplus animals (not all breeders... blah blah) and don't care about the suffering and harm they cause.
These made me cry. I'm grateful, though.
Shit. I am crying in a coffee shop.
I just saw "Good Boy" a couple days ago and I still haven't gotten over it by now this. Also love the style skeletons are really hard to draw. Love it 16/10
I’m not crying, your crying! 😭
Black cats exist so we could have mini panthers at home <3 Some idiots are just too thick to understand it
Thanks, crying in class is awesome
both of my black furbabies were total sweethearts-one ran away when i moved because i could not get him fixed, and years later i had to leave my other behind since i couldn't keep her at the next place :(
Now I can't stop crying.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
not crying... invisible ninjas cutting the onions again... 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
Awwwwwwwwwww How Sad, but it's cute at the same time because a puppy comforted a poor child who died from something deadly!
Soo sad but soo adorable!
I wish death would come talk to me like that. I miss him terribly. The wait is just terrible. When we are together it's so much fun. It's like we are alive.
Sad but really adorable!
Kids should not be in hospitals hooked up to so many machines. its heartbreaking.
I have a black cat named Sir Arthur Guinness, King of the Britains. He's such a sweetheart, loves people (and will lick you and your toes should you give him a chance), and is completely and utterly loveable. I don't understand why black cats are seen as bad luck, because Arthur is an angel. Plus, black cats are less likely to get fleas.
I'm not crying, you're crying! D""X
This is my good boy Jager, he was shot, left tied up in the backyard, beaten and taken to a high kill shelter to be put down. I got to him with only hours left before he was to be put down. That was 3 years ago and we're still going strong, even after life saving surgery in April. 20180802_1...1e-png.jpg
I came back on here to reread the comic and saw your comment, and it made me sob all over again. I'm so sorry your furbaby had to go through that. I hope he's still doing well
Also, KEEP YOUR CAT INSIDE. No cat can be hit by a car if it's not roaming loose.
this made me cry so much:(:(
this made me cry so much :(:(:(:(:(
The site isn’t letting me post pictures 🤷♀️ but I have two mostly black cats that are currently safe, happy, well-fed, and sound asleep on their kitty condo.
This is the first I've seen of hers, and I cried. My former roommate would let mine out "Because they're cats' of course, so four black ones were killed in 2 months. There's a local jerk who aims for them. But the photos are adorable. And the statement about the one clearing the dresser? Don't I know it!
I'm sitting at my desk with tears running down my face... My beautiful house panther, Neo, was originally dumped four blocks from my home in the Bronx. I scooped him up and have been loving him ever since!
is it sad that I relate to the good boy comic on a human level. Your not a bad person or a bad girlfriend/boyfriend you just loved bad people...
At the shelter they said she was a spitfire... Her name is Cookie, she is a spitfire and I love her so much! cookie_7-5...b7fa7a.jpg
I love black cats we have one called kali meaning black in Hindu I think anyway he is just a sweetheart and flops down for a belly rub whenever we come home
Black cats are beautiful , I have 3. They are not bad luck at all. People that think that really need to wake up.
I'm literally bawling! OMG that grandma missing her cat, and the good boy dog! Someone please help me! Ugh! :'(
I don't think I've cried this much in my life. "Read the articles, Addy." I told myself, "You won't cry" How wrong I was
I've always liked black cats the best! There's no pattern to distract the eye from the muscles and movement.
As soon as I get a house of my own I'm adopting every black cat at the local shelter
If we follow this superstition BS, isn't it also bad luck to kill a cat?
This truly brought tears to my eyes
I actually thought kitty was going to be the guide for the old woman. Friends forever
There goes my heart.
Right in the feels
IM CRYING T ___ T
fuck......this is so depressing I wanna hug them so bad
I see these strips and I feel the need for retribution... I’m still to find out how people can be cruel towards such innocent animals. Would love to face one of these “humans” and lay my sense of justice on them.
Well, this bought on the tears.
Awwww so sweet!
i couldn't Watch them all.
Poor things :(
Where can I find the other death comics like these two?
im mad u guys cut out the last page of black cats the reaper shows that cats owner savin a one eyed kitty that made it bitter sweet like life and death at the ire down under
I wuv my black cats!! And my doggo!! There are some sick people in this world :c
Uwu -
Death is honestly such a nice guy in these comics. He genuinely seems to care for the souls he takes.
My family has our own mini panther named Cooper. He's a lovable, chatty little scamp. Always being mischievous and wonderful. He's best friends with my fiance's and my tabby cat Cookie. So cute. Well both stories made me tear up. People can be so cruel. God bless all those poor cats and doggies who died. You're on the rainbow bridge. Playing and being very happy. We will see them again someday.
Well that brought along the water works faster than I expect. Very good story.
So sadly beautiful. Sigh
I don't care if the "Good Boy" comic has a happy ending. This just proves that dogs are dying bc of abandonment.
I bit my lip sohard reading good boy im bleeding. i am crying. so sad
Oh my gosh, I read one and a half and couldn't go any further.
It's just drawings but I cry more than I've cried for a long time. Animal abuse and cruelty breaks my heart over and over and these things happens every day ...
I haven't cried this much in a long time. This lady is pure genius. LOVE it.
Well folks, we have to accept the fact that high-tech gadgets (and should be in line with brain) for some is nothing to black-cat superstitious which should have been able to check and re-check by using the so called high-tech gadgets...
I shouldn't have read it at work because I'm in tears right now... how embarrassing... I had a black cat called Imp and loved him a lot!
The best thing is to not let your cats out at all. They are the #1 killer of birds and small mammals. If they are in the house they cannot get killed by cars. Also some people put out poison to kill rats and if a cat finds that and eats it they will die too. Here is our house panther, Athena. Athena-5dd...55a4ad.jpg
I have a beautiful black cat on the verge of death, so thank you.
beginning of the doggo comic- cry. end- smile.
The grandma is like "where is he?" and I was like " In our hearts forever..."
did u know black cats are only bad luck in other countries?
Luna Draco 2019-2019 you are my sweet kitty forever ignore the superstitions
That last one, by Ryann Smith, pull a me and grab for thier throats while screaming "SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME TO ANYONE AND I'LL RIP YOUR FU*KING VOCAL CORDS OUT" Seems a little violent?? Welcome to my world. :)
I just got pulled aside at work due to my leaky face!
What's better than a black cat - two black cats. About 4 years ago I adopted a black pair - brother/sister. Today they are my best friends. Adopted them mid October - usually shelter does not adopt out black cats for several months around halloween, but shelter people knew me from the donations I would make.
This is Blacky, one of my 5 feral cats that live with me. I almost lost him last year when he was 4. He had bladder crystals. But, I was able to find a vet who could help him. They told me that he was actually REALLY well behaved. Normally he is very fritened of people and all he wants to do is run away and find someplace to hide. But, it seemed as if he knew these strangers wanted to help him. My cats don't go outside. They know where they are safe. DSC01535-5...97d5b8.jpg
Ok let's say SUPPOSEDLY black cats are bad luck as some believe due to their superstition, shouldn't they avoid black cats instead deliberately running them over? What the hell is wrong with people?
F... off, I'm crying at work now
I read the first two, started crying, and scrolled down to the comments. This is so sad.
never saw the full version of good boy till now and there was tears (for me the last part was death saying a few more minutes) and i too have a black cat named magic and she lives up to her name and spazs out alot
Not seen the good boy one before. Blubbing my eyes out right now.
I lived in a neighbourhood with horrible people who killed not only my cats when I was young , around 10 (I had 4 and the mother had black fur), but stray cats as well (and that was as recent as 3 years ago) and I honestly can't stop crying. I'm almost 30 and still can't understand what makes humans hate cats, specially black ones so much. Of all the entire animal kingdom, we're the worst of creatures...
Ugghhh If I just didn't like cats much, all I'd want is a black cat.
Adorable and sad. The dog as death made me smile though. Keep drawing comics like this please
I had to weep but these are just beautiful especially that first one of the deliberate cat kill. They are all wonderful.
omg...
Beautifully done and true to heart...I want to read more
Beautifully done and true to heart. I wanted the story to continue....
This is my third black cat, Salem just passed away at 20 years old, Salem is 10 and a happy cat, the newest kitten is Sabrina. They never go out, they have a front row seat with a sliding glass door in my sun room made especially for them. We live in Alaska so you don't know what wild animals are meandering around outside, and the cat's just love the "safe" view. received_2...0-jpeg.jpg
uhh this is so dark.....it made me feel so sad ._.
I've always had black cats, I don't get it. They are so beautiful like little black panthers. People are stupid!
very glad I didn't put make up on this morning …. tears auto streaming down my damn face
Such a sad story.
In The UK and Ireland at least black cats are considered to be lucky. Is the unlucky black cat an American thing?
I cried after the first one before trying to recover, but as I scrolled and read Good Boy I started ugly crying again
To tell the truth, I cried but this is so bittersweet I think black cats are beautiful, if my mom didn't hate them so much, I would get one day...
:(
My friends are bullying me over something I didn’t do, I sat in the bathroom today crying while acting my lunch and watching Atypical on Netflix. I was doing ok, and then started crying when I saw this because sometimes I think about my death. Especially recently. I feel like right now I can relate to that black cat as people all around just don’t like me. The dog that was left behind sort of resembles me too, as they have tied me to one story and wont let me explain- spreading rumors saying mean tings, yesterday they were my best friends and today they hate me and have left me behind.
Thank you, Jenny. Such beautifully touching work.
i had a all black cat named George when i moved where i live now George started going into the neighbors yard this well man decided he would call the dog office to try and get George live trapped and bring his to the shelter the dog officer told him no that no one owns a cat basically George was doing nothing or acting out like he was sick well George got out one night and never came home again i think the guy next door was so angry he couldn't get his way im pretty positive this man killed my catz this is not a busy road George Al way's came home when had been at the same house for four years he knew where he lived this man didn't consider how long i would suffer i wasn't even given the body back he probably threw him in the trash
I think you broke my heart....
I'm not crying, I'm not crying... Yes, I'm crying!
Shades o' Terry Pratchett in these comics.
Not through choice, but I have always had either tabby or b/w cats. I would dearly love a black cat, but you cannot choose who will end up loving you or moving in. It is a little furry person, not wallpaper or furniture!
My black cat was killed by a car. My poor dear Onyx.... 😭 These comic strips made me get all teary-eyed on break at work. Sweet but too damn sad.
ive got a black feral cat living in a kennel in my garden, neighbours moved leaving him behind. noticed lots of people buy cat kennels for strays online . adopters could say
I like black cats especially for their fairy tale connections. Sadly I'm to allergic to actually adopt one.
This Death is much like the Discwold death I think. A caring, friendly soul who being
(Sorry) the personification of the end of life has to a job, but never evil or callous.
Can the kitty cat at least befriend a poltergeist without the talent of pushing glasses off furniture? (pleez)
How on earth did the artist manage to convay a smile on a fleshless skull in the last panel?
My late baby..I love all cats and I don't care what color they are. Only dumb. superstitious 'humans' do while they actually should be more afraid of their own kind. BLACKIE-WI...63feb5.jpg
These are so real and so true...and I am crying like a baby. I am in cat rescue, and I have lost so many cats over the years to the cruelty of people, it is a never-ending, never absent pain.
When we Adopted our black kitty, Cairo, from the shelter, they said that he had been there for two years because black cats were harder to adopt out. He was spayed, had all of his shots and, at four years old, still almost as playful as a kitten. Is this the same woman who did the animated feature about the deer dying? Too sad.
All 3 of our fur babies are black. 2 from Humane Society + 1 adopted us cuz someone left her behind which is fine cuz they didn't/don't deserve her!
i love the cat and the dog story. they are bittersweet, and i love how they portray death like that.
OMG... there used to be a sweet old lady in my street who used to feed a lovely black cat. One day she phoned me to tell she hadn't seen the cat for a few days. My husband and I looked for the cat in every place we could think of but still no trace. About 2 years later she died. I like to think they're together in the good place they deserve.
After I spent my lunch hour sobbing, I shared it with my significant other so he could sob too.
that cat comic broke me...

I have a black cat so it hit close
this genuinely made me cry.
It's not just black cats but I was told it black dogs are harder to adopt out because of these ridiculous superstitions. My Zoe is primarily black and she means the world me.
How comforting to imagine Death as a kind and compassionate person.
I watched Star Wars Blips and laughed a lot and then read this and cried a lot. I should have done these in the revers order. Right in the feels.
Yep, crying.
This really got me. In November 2018, my black cat died of kidney failure just hours before my grandma passed away from leukaemia. 2018 wasn't a good year.
THIS IS REALLY GOOD AND YES IT REALLY DOES MAKE YOU WANT TO CRY.
Right in the damn feels..I've lost cats before and it feels like you're being torn apart.. Gotta go find more tissues..:(
Looking at a family suicide- I finally cried for the pets we toss aside so easily. Pets or people if you don't want them someone somewhere does help give them a chance.
My neighbors have a black cat (tho shes not ALL black most of her is, excluding an almost heart shaped white fur pattern on her chest) shes 16 and deaf and just the SWEETEST thing I couldnt imagine someone purposely killing her
I can't even...
I had to let my black cat Murrlyn go last night. He was 12.
"Damn you" I've a pain in my heart after that.
I literally just stopped crying due to depression like an hour ago and now this.

Thanks everyone. Also I have a cat. She's a rescue. I used to have a black cat he passed away from old age last year. Really though, thanks all.
Rescues are the best but that's just my opinion. Hope you're having a better day than before.
More *hugs* and a little prayer for you too.
I am just a bit, thanks. Also I agree. Adopt, don't shop. Thanks again, doubly so for checking back in. Small things like that do mean a lot.
Hang in there the best you can.
I hope you feel better fast. Warm hugs for you.
I've been keeping my depression tears in for the past 38 years. I think I may melt soon. 😔
I completely understand. Depression is super tricky and often makes it hard to release all those feelings and instead keep them in and building while looking fine on the outside. I often find after I do have a big break and cry a lot, I will (temporarily) feel almost normal for once. It is hard though. Fight on.
(Hugs)

Oops, repeat.
Adopt a pet.
I have one! She was feral the first two years of her life and had two litters of kittens in that time and was pregnant when I found her! She gave birth at my house and at the time I didn't know if I would keep her so just called her mama kitty, but she decided that was her forever name and has become the cuddliest most chatty cutie. I agree your advice is good. I often suffer from fits due to having multiple types of depression (chronic atypical and a few others) as well as an anxiety disorder, relaxation induced anxiety disorder, and other more personal things. She keeps me stable through it all.
That "Good Boy" comic gets me every darn time. The "Me is the death" panel makes me smile uncontrollably though. The black cat comic is thoughtful, and bittersweet.
This is so sad yet beautiful... What a nice way to portrait death and the sadness that comes with it
Ani: I can understand your comment in relation to the dog (I mean: everyone loves a "happy ending", right?) BUT..what/where is the cat
