This has been a difficult week, I had to say goodbye to one of the cats I've had for almost 12 years yesterday due to lung cancer. I haven't quite made sense of anything in my brain yet because it was so shocking and jarring, when my dog passed last year I knew it was coming for months but this caught me completely off-balance. Rough start to the year.

It's been a little cathartic to draw simple things like Peach over and over again. Just using different styles, and in other news, I've only got 10 pages left to color of Libby & Holly. Ever closer, ever closer.

I know this will probably have an impact on what I'm able to get done this month, it will likely result in me just doing whatever work feels like the biggest escape and right now that seems like drawing Peach.

Happy Sunday, everyone, hug your kitties for me 💕

I'm so so sorry for your loss. Cats are something else. These peaches are adorable though, do what you need to to cope and get that escape <3

Oh Winton. I'm so sorry to hear. They were so lucky to have your love and I'm certain you gave them a wonderful life. Losing our fur babies is so hard. Take it easy.

im so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat winton. i lost my 17 year old kitty a couple years ago and i still can't believe she's gone, so i completely understand where you're at right now. try take care of yourself right now, we can be patient. ♥️ by the way, the peaches look absolutely adorable. i really love that you've been into drawing her lately! 🍑

Losing a pet suddenly is hard. We had to put our cat down several years ago because of a throat tumor. They said they couldn't operate, and just a few days later she was gone. Take the time you need to grieve and process. We'll still be here! Just because they were a pet doesn't diminish your love for them

Fable

Take your time to grieve, im so sorry for you and yours and hope you can cherish the memories of the lovely life you gave 💙

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you've been able to find some peace in your art.

Thinking about you! It’s always so hard losing a loved one 🫶

I've learned that cats can really hide their pain/discomfort too, so even though we keep really careful watch over our cats it just seemed to come out of nowhere😭 I'm sorry to hear about your loss, too Grace. It's always hard

wintonkidd

Seventeen years! 💖 It's wonderful to be able to spend so much time with them but I feel like that just makes it harder because they become such a fixture in our lives💞 Thank you for the kind words, Tiffy

wintonkidd

It's been rough, but it's also really rewarding to be able to share the art I've been making, so thank you for looking, as always ❤️

Oh God, back to back, please take all the time you need

Sarah Jones

I'm so sorry to hear this! I lost my first dog followed by my first cat about a year agoish. It was agonizing. What were their names, if you don't mind me asking?

Juno Auer-Watson

I am so sorry for your loss. My cat is my whole world next to my husband. I know yours felt so so loved. 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

im soooo sorry for ur loss. pet death is a death of a family member, take the time u need

Chantal Strong-DePauw

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s always so hard to lose those you love, but the shock of unforeseen loss is its own kind of heartache. Try to focus on all the good you shared and brought to each others lives as you move through this, and move gently💕

Jamie

Take care of yourself and give yourself some slack while you process this. When my first cat died, she went from what we thought was fine to gone in a week and it was so awful to go through. I’m so sorry you’re going through this right now. Prudence (my pfp) and I send our love 💕

Riz

Sorry for your loss man, I lost an old cat a few years ago, it's rough. Try to focus on the time you had together and try not to stress yourself too much

Nick_K

I'm so sorry for your loss, Winton, I went through a similar thing with my dog before Christmas and I know it's devastating. Take your time and let the scars heal.

Tristan Carretero

Much love to you and yours Winton💙 thank you for the update and take all the time you need

Matthew C Baker

Sorry for your loss my friend, our little friends mean so much to us.

Sorry for your loss, take care <3 It's hard to find what to say, I lost my cat some years ago and it sure is not a easy thing...

Fuya

I'm so sorry to hear that! My condolences. Take care of yourself and take your time to mourn. Pets are family, too ❤️

Rex Stultorum

Condolences for your friends’ passing. I hope you find hope in your daily life and peace in drawing like i do. Love xoxo ☺️🕊️

Warclad

I'm so sorry. I lost my cat of 14 years a year ago to the same thing. Sending all my well wishes.

Antipothe

I'm sorry for your loss

Zack

So sorry to hear of your loss. Please take the time you need to grieve; your work is always worth waiting for. Case in point, these are lovely. I appreciate your dedication to keeping Peach juicy <3

Zack

Also, is that an actual stool she's sitting on, or just a hapless / lucky Toad who happened to be nearby? My headcanon favors the latter...

Rev. Zee

I'm so, so sorry.

Taylor

I’m so very sorry :/ I’ve been there and can totally empathize. Sending virtual hugs your way

Rico

Hope you’re doing ok Winton! I know how hard it can be to lose a loved one, especially a pet 😔 Whatever your mind decides to draw is what I’ll be happy to consume. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep going strong!

ValeRipley

So sorry to hear about your loss. It’s been 5 years since we lost our first beloved dog, so I understand how it feels 💞 I’m glad you were able to find some solace in art, I too found it’s a good way to keep the thoughts at bay. Take all the time you need!

wintonkidd

💗 Dedicated to keeping Peach juicy 😤 Thank you friend. I think she's just sitting on a proper stool but I can see the appeal of what you're speculating over....

wintonkidd

That's true of my experience too, the activity of drawing has carried me through many difficult times in the past :)

wintonkidd

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear about the loss in your own family. It's brutal, Nick 😔hope you're doing well and thank you for the kindness 💕

wintonkidd

Oogh, I lost my first dog last year as well😭🫂 What a rough time, thank you for sharing that and for your kindness. My cat's name was Honey 💛🐝

wintonkidd

Thank you for the kind words from both you and 💕Prudence (good name omg) she's so beautiful😭💕
