People Are Sharing Hilarious Stories About The Times They Thought Their Pets Were Dying

We all have our moments. And Louis the cat just had his. Recently, he became one of the most popular kitties on the internet. However, Louis himself isn’t too happy about it. You see, it all happened because of his depression. But don’t worry, this story ends on a happy note.

When his owner, PaladinAmber, noticed that Louis wasn’t feeling too well, she got really scared. The little furball wasn’t eating, sleeping, drinking… She thought he was dying. So she did what every caring human would do; she took him to the vet. Luckily, they reassured PaladinAmber that Louis wasn’t going to pass away anytime soon. He was just very, very sad that some other cat whooped his ass.

Continue scrolling to learn more about the situation from PaladinAmber’s Twitter thread that has already received over 823K likes!

Louis came into his owners’ lives in a non-conventional way. Years ago, he was found rolling around inside the outside recycle bin. He was invited into the house that day and never left. He’s around ten years now, and he’s getting to that age where he’s naturally slowing down.

“He is a soft and sweet introvert, he keeps to himself mostly but will sometimes sneak up behind me while I’m hanging out washing to play and roll around,” PaladinAmber told Bored Panda. “He’s also sometimes an asshole, with his literal asshole and he’ll try and put his butt on as many things as he can.”

Louis’ typical day starts with waking up in one of two places, his outside box or out from under the bed. He then usually snacks on some biscuits for breakfast with his humans, and later might sit outside on this old tree stump or climb on the dining table and lounge around there for a while.

“Louis might go off on an adventure or he‘ll wait until we take the dogs for a walk and then follow behind ever step of the way. Then he’ll snack yet again on dinner and return to either spot to sleep so he can wake back up and do it all over again.”

But it might not have been the first fight Louis had. “Louis occasionally has come home with a mark on his ear or a small bite on his face,” PaladinAmber said. “But every time we take him to the vet and get him checked out, Louis is an outdoor/indoor cat and so we know that the risks of that are fighting, infection, even cat aids so we take him to the vet whenever something seems off.”

This time, the owners waited two days because he was still eating his wet food and in the evenings he would take baby sips from the dog’s water. “It wasn’t until day two where he just sat there looking at the water that we decided ‘okay maybe something is up,’ we kept a very close eye on him over those two days though.”

“Louis is doing absolutely fine and doesn’t really care about his new internet fame because… well, he’s a cat and cats are assholes,” PaladinAmber added.

Other pet owners quickly started sharing similar stories:

I may only be able to give 1 upvote, but I give my love for this comment. I personally am a animal person and I can never find someone that realizes how advanced animals are. (Ps. I am 13 at the time of posting this)

I have a yellow lab we adopted when she was 4 and she had A LOT of energy. We took her on a hike that was a bit longer than we had been on before and on our way back, she started limping really badly and would lay down every 50 feet or so. We were obviously concerned and felt her leg for any signs of injury and she didn't flinch or try to move her leg when we touched it or tried moving it. We gave her some water and kept encouraging her to keep going and she would get up and limp a little and lay back down. Then we came to a stream and she sprinted to the water and started swimming around. Oddly enough, the limp then totally went away and she was running and jumping around. Looking back we realized she had been limping when she was in the sun and laying down every time she got to shade. She was fine the rest of the hike, she had just gotten a little too hot and she was trying to tell us that the only way she could think of. She also sprained her tail from wagging it to much.
