It’s unfortunate to see Whitney say goodbye to her beloved cat, whom she had known since a very young age and watched grow old. The loss of Henchi will most likely have a profound impact on Whitney and her family. It’ll take some time before the Thore family can return to their normal routine.

Hopefully, Whitney’s new life goals will help her cope with this tragedy. In My Big Fat Fabulous Life season 13, Whitney is seen searching for the perfect sperm donor as she hopes to have a baby soon, realizing that time is running out for her to find a partner

She had mentioned that she had a few potential candidates but hadn’t made a final decision. Instead, she wants her family and friends to help her choose the right sperm donor.
