Pat McAfee is unfortunately dealing with a major loss at the moment as the former WWE broadcaster recently took to social media to announce that his cat Theodore has passed away.
According to McAfee, Theodore suffered a stroke which left him unable to move, or control his bladder. Theodore was also not eating following the stroke. Pat McAfee noted that Theodore had been with him for 17 years when he posted the following:
“After suffering from a stroke resulting in the inability to move, control his bladder and not eating. Our sweet Theodore also known as Teddy Bear or Teddy Ten Toes, has crossed the Rainbow Bridge peacefully at home. 🌈🐾
I brought Teddy home when he was just 8 weeks old and from that day on he was by my side through every season of life. He wasn’t just a cat; he was my first pet on my own, he was a family member and one of my greatest comforts. He has been my constant for 17 years, just under half of my life.
Teddy had such a fun loving personality, turning dog lovers into atleast a cat lover. He loved cold water, laying in the sun and cuddles. He also never turned down a good meal, making him one of the chonkiest cats to ever exist and we loved every bit of him!
Even with 2 kids and 5 other pets, the house somehow feels quieter now esp following the loss of Valerie. There’s this emptiness with every opening of a water bottle, walking room to room and he’s not there, sleeping without his purr sound next to me. Who knew a cat would have such an impact on me.
Thank you for 17 unforgettable years of love, companionship, and memories we’ll carry forever Teddy bear. We love you, say hi to Valerie for us🤍”
Pat McAfee found himself wrapped up in one of WWE’s biggest storylines earlier this year when he was revealed to be the person Randy Orton was talking to on the phone ahead of Orton’s match with Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. McAfee noted that if Randy Orton were to lose at WrestleMania he would never get involved with wrestling again. Following The Viper’s loss on the Grandest Stage of Them All, McAfee confirmed that he has moved on from the wrestling business.
Our condolences got out to Pat McAfee and the McAfee family following the loss of Theodore.
