'I Laughed And Cried': Vet’s Hilarious Condolence Card Brings Laughter To Grieving Cat Owner
January 5, 2026
Losing a pet is never easy, but sometimes a little humor can help ease the sadness — and that’s exactly what happened for one cat owner in a recent viral moment.
After his beloved black cat passed away, the owner shared the condolence card he received from his local vet.
He explained: "My boy Vinny crossed the rainbow bridge recently. He was a spicy boy, only would let me hold him and pick him up. This was the sympathy card I received from the vet."

"I am so sorry for your loss of Vincent. Even though he didn't like us, he will be missed! Thinking of you! Alexa"
For context, the cat’s full name was Vincent “Vinny” Van Gogh — a fittingly spirited name for a cat who clearly marched to the beat of his own drum.
The owner added, "He was an ex-street cat. He LOVED to be pet, just don’t pick him up, unless you’re me (laughing emoji)."
Even in moments of grief, a little humor — and a memory of a cat’s unique personality — can turn sadness into joy.
