That's the truth. My cat is a little over 15 right now and sadly is going through spine degradation. We have been trying to keep him comfortable since he is the last of our 3 cats we had. He is the youngest of them. But sadly it is pretty much time for us to say our goodbyes in my household as well.
The real sully, maybe u should make a mean kitty song otamatone to remember him, it was one of my first memories to and I would love for him to be remembered well
I remember my kitty dying by this you know how it feels I didn't eat for days and was crying all day and it was because of a vet he could be saved but the vet wasn't for cats he was for rats and bunnies but he didn't tell us he gave wrong medications and that caused my Kitty's death If I find that person ever again I am gonna kill him ngl man I'm so angry and sad
@@theun-knownmusician5468 ikr it's the worst feeling ever I always foster abandoned dogs and cats and give them shelter until someone picks them up and giving them away feels sooo bad I can't imagine how losing pets would be like the amount of homeless animals would have dropped so much if we human beings weren't pathetic and in my country people buy cows and buffaloes and when they stop giving milk they abandon them by the forest or unknown areas and that makes it even worse
Mean Kitty Song popped into my head today and I decided to take a trip through memory lane.... I had no idea Sparta had passed years ago. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing the joy and love you shared with Sparta, with us. I was 12 when the song came out, I was obsessed with it. Thank you Sparta and Cory
Agreed; they can play together now as they did before. But...I sure hope it's not the end of an era for Cory; I hope it's the beginning of a new one. He has so much love in his heart, I pray he finds a way to help other little Sparta's and Loki's. No feline can ever take Sparta and Loki's place, but others can join their legends!! He and his family would make a phenomenal foster parents!
@@andychatterley2140 I got it to 667, don't worry. I hear cats are the guardians of the underworld though. Anyway RIP Sparta you'll always be a brother to me!
I'm so very sorry for the loss of Sparta. I know just how you feel because I lost my 18-year-old 2 weeks ago. Hugs to you and, again, I'm just so sorry.
Geo anything less than eternity is short. Life has meaning because it’s short, it lets you appreciate the years more and some other stuff I’m plagiarizing from the graduation speech in the amazing Spider-Man 2
September 5th, 2007. I was 13, two days away from 14, when The Mean Kitty Song was posted. I didn't have a computer so I watched RU-vid videos on my PlayStation 3. I remember going back to that song month after month, year after year, for so many years. Fast forward to December 5th, 2021 at 4:30am; I'm sitting in front of multiple thousand dollars worth of PC equipment and monitors and "The Mean Kitty Song" pops into my head. After 3:30 seconds of childhood nostalgia, the cruel reality of life shows its ugly hand in the recommended video section, which brings me here. Rest in peace, Sparta.
@@sykosocial You're right, I did. Now that I'm reading it again with a clearer head on my five hundred dollar 144hz 1440p IPS monitor, I understand your point
I never knew about sparta's existence until now, but this video hurt. Edit, 15 September 2020: I just lost my own cat and I remembered this video. Thank you go everyone to has responded, apart from Donnell Okafor, who called sparta a "cheap stinky house cat."
I’m still fucked up over the time my cat chewed the line off a fishing rod I didn’t know had a hook attached. She was completely fine but I’ll never know if she actually swallowed the hook or just fishing line bc I panicked and pulled it from her mouth. I’m paranoid as hell of her getting into anything now and still remember her tiny meows and watering eyes when I held her 😭
I know the feeling, and I wish I didn't. That moment when your pet is in pain and confused and looks to you because they trust you, thinking that you will be able to help somehow like you always have. But as much as you wish you had the power to take the pain away you can't, all you can do is hold them and know it is likely a goodbye. Life is so cruel.
@@zemsaney433 I’m glad to know that. Some of his videos were such a fun part of my childhood. Coming home from school and seeing new skits he’d upload would be so awesome.
I really hate it when people say "It's just a dog." or "Don't be so sad, it's just a pet." because they aren't. They're a member of the family- and we can and should mourn them when they are gone. My deepest sympathies at your loss.😓😓💔💙🙏🙏
I agree. You wouldn't say "it's just a child." Or "Do not be sad it is just a daughter". They are still living, feeling beings with emotions and personalities.
Thank you Cory, for your sharing your special Sparta with millions! What a legacy! When we give a part of our heart away to a pet, we know it is bound to be broken one day but the love is worth the grief every time! I hope the years have and continue to bring you much love with special pets and many blessings!
I no joke never knew this cat existed and now I am crying over his death He was so loved up until his death and I hope wherever he is now he isn't alone and is still being loved and cared for ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
same, im literally crying rn. its just not only this poor cat's death but I also faced the death of my dog named Loki. he had some sort of cancer and that we just didn't want him to suffer.
I was a child when I first ever heard the mean kitty song. Heck, that song is iconic on RU-vid. I'm now 24. I'm so sorry for your loss, losing a pet is never easy.
You and Sparta were one of my first introductions to RU-vid, and a very entertaining and loving introduction at that. 15 years later, I'm playing with my 3 year old siamese and had a sudden reminder to "The Mean Kitty Song" so I looked it up again, and I didn't expect to be crying at 2AM. You and Sparta brought me so much joy, and I am so sorry to hear about his passing, especially so late after it happened. You both brought so much love and joy to a growing 8 year old experiencing the internet for the first time, and you both will forever be apart of my life in a positive light. Sparta will forever be remembered and loved❤️
wait, this was randomly recommended to me. i didn't even realize sparta was the same cat from that viral song that I saw when I was probably 7. i'm 20 now. may that kitty rest easy
Coming back to see this after not checking in for a few years. Sparta is an icon of RU-vid. More so, he is an icon of your life. He will always be remembered.
Sparta brightened the lives of millions across the world, he’s been immortalised thanks to the internet, and will continued to be remembered forever. I’m sorry for your loss.
I was 13 years old when I saw that mean kitty song. That was back before the internet became the internet. Now I'm 25 and little Sparta is gone :( I'll miss that cat he was part of my childhood.
RIP Sparta. 🌈 As a former Vet Tech, I have assisted at many a "Wing Fitting". The grief is real, and brings no shame. Sparta is safe and waiting in another place. Time is the only balm against the hurt. Hugs to you and Family.
I resisted adopting more kittens . I had one more adult cat . But, I took on the 2 kittens. It was a year latter my big boy passed away. So to all who think the hurt is to much to bear, an empty home is no place to grieve !
You said "There were so many things I wanted to say to him." He knew. You didn't need to say anything. Bless you for all the love you gave him. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I know I'm 3 years late but I know how it feels. I'm so sorry because I know who he was. Sparta will live on in millions of people's memories. That cat will be a messiah to us all. Sleep tight Sparta.
Sparta was truly one of the RU-vid cat pioneers, and was the first "famous cat" I was really aware of here. I will certainly always remember him. Thank you Cory for sharing him with the world. Rest well, Sparta.
I just heard of Spartas passing and wanted to say “the mean kitty song” was one of the very first videos I ever watched on RU-vid back in 07. It gave me so much joy when I was younger and still today I get a giggle out of the video. I wish I had known you had a channel all these years later. I’m so sorry for your loss but I hope it helps you heal knowing the joy you and him created in a lasting memory for me
I feel like I grew up with Sparta and I'm crying and I've never met him but I definitely loved him through your videos. You have all my empathy, he was clearly well loved and cared for. You gave him the best life possible.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sparta was such a hilarious and amazingly cool cat. I would sing the song you made on SMP films for so so many random summer days while I hung out with friends and family. Our dad introduced us to the song and Sparta, and we fell in love. Hope you guys are well❤️❤️❤️
I’m sorry man I just can’t agree. I’ve lost many family members and many pets. I lost a cat that I grew up with for 16 years but I recently lost my mother. It’s worse losing a family member but it’s still a horrible thing to lose a pet :(
@@asherhepworth1864 hey stay strong bro/sis I lost my friend last year to a stabbing I know how it feels stay strong and remember the good times they looking down from heaven bless up
Cory, you did the last kindest thing for Sparta. You were with him and he knew that. It doesn't make any of it any easier. Much love to you and your family. I am devastated for you.
I cried when you cried, gosh. Sparta was pretty much the first "internet cat" I was a fan of. Even at the end he was still a "mean kitty", fiesty as ever. Rest in peace, boy.
Sobbing. The Mean Kitty Song randomly popped in my head today and wanted to listen to it after not hearing it since high school and this video popped up. RIP Sparta, I loved you, we all loved you.
I’m 14 years old. My parents always played “The Mean Kitty Song” when I was a little kid. It always made me laugh and made me happy. This is just heartbreaking to see...He’s in kitty heaven with grumpy cat. Fly high angel. 👼🏻 ❤️😖
The mean kitty song is from talking kitty cat aka stevecash83 he made that song, but Steve died in April so RIP Edit 1: I didn’t realise this youtuber made a meaner kitty song my bad sorry please forgive me, bless you all ❤️❤️❤️
"How Lucky I Am, To have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" - A.A. Milne Love unconditionally. But also love enough to know when to let go. Your goodbye isnt forever. It just means that you will miss sparta until you meet again. Thank you for being there with him until the very end.
I literally watched the Little Sparta song when I was like 11 years old. It's still never left my mind even now being 22. Can't believe I just saw this. Much love and rest easy Sparta..
TheCrispyTwinkies god, same. the first cat meme I really loved and cherish still to this day. Was cleaning earlier thinking it to myself. RIP, Sparta. You were a good little kit kitty 😭
People usually say 'The Internet is Forever' as a bad thing...not in this case, at all. His memory will be here with us forever and we'll always see him and feel that warmth in our hearts. I'm so sorry for your loss Corey, you and Sparta inspired me to become a content creator...years ago and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. #RIPsparta
I still cannot watch this all the way through. I have been following you and Sparta since Thousand Oaks and being a cat (and dog) mama, my heart is so completely broken for you. You and Sparta touched so many and we will all remember him so fondly (and sweet Loki too). Sending deepest condolences and hugs to you Corey. I know it’s been awhile now, but I still can’t.
I just found this today. I know this has to be devastating. It hurts me, and I'm not even in his life except online. I've been watching him since you made the first Mean Kitty song back in the day. My heart aches for you and for your family. Sparta was a tremendously loved by so many in the world, and you did exactly right by him and were there right to the end. Good on you, sir.
So sad Sparta is gone. Had to have been very hard for you making this video. I have been crying along with you. My Sammy is on his window perch sleeping. He can be mean too. But I do love him can't imagine life without him. Sparta is now over the Rainbow Bridge along with others who have gone before him. He is not hurting anymore. We have all the memories and I am praying for all of you. GOD bless. 🙏🙏🙏
Found this channel when I was about 8 years old - it distracted me from my mothers passing at the time. I'm 18 now and Sparta always had a special place in the back of my mind, finding joy in the little mean kitty. Even after i moved on, I'd come to check this Channel every so often - it'd still cheer me up when i was in a slump. It pains me to think that I'm 2 years late to the news but I came to cheer myself up after my dog passed from cancer. Pets really don't live long enough. Corey, I hope you know that you gave that cat the absolute world. Sparta loved you so much. Keep loving and keep being loved. Rest in peace, Sparta.
Sparta has a legacy here on RU-vid. He'll be remembered as one of the OG pets of RU-vid. Sparta will always be my favorite and he's the best cat in the world.
I remember The Mean Kitty song being my favourite song when I was 10 years old. I had it saved on my iPod and would listen to it on the bus ride to school with my friend almost every day. I’m 23 now. I came to this channel because I was curious to see what Cory and Sparta were up to these days. My heart is hurting. Thank you two for these past years. Rest in peace, Mean Kitty.
Please let’s try to get him to make more videos when he feels better. Maybe he could adopt a kitten. I have a black kitten for adoption. I’m not saying it’s to replace him, but to love another kitty who doesn’t have a furever home.
I can't believe... I actually despise myself for not seeing this before now. Gods, my heart broke into a million pieces watching this. The Mean Kitty Song and your videos were actually the ones that convinced my husband and I to name our orange tabby Sparta. I'm so sorry for your loss, and my extremely belated condolences to you and your family. 🥺😭
