Cat injured. Hiding under shed :( (update: sadly not a good ending)

[souljacker]

RIP Bob. At least you got to say goodbye though. Sounds like he was in a nasty accident which often means they aren't seen again.

Sorry to hear this

 

[eatmorecheese]

Really sorry to hear this

 

[A380]

So sorry to read your news.

 

[moose]

So sorry. Hope you are ok.

I'm so sorry, Mumbles274, but well done for making the end as comfortable as possible for him. He looks like a bloody great cat x

 

[editor]

No good news I'm afraid. Vet has said there is no positive prognosis. Just waiting to go in and be with him for his last moments

I'm so sorry mate.

 

[Mumbles274]

Once we'd thrown a whole flour tortilla on the garage roof for the gulls. Woke up the next morning to find he'd dragged it in through the catflap.. From then on known as the Tortilla Killa

He was also called Dodgem coz his tail stuck up at a funny angle like a Dodgem car's pole

Sorry to hear this.

The same happened to one of our old cats. Came down in the morning to fing her unable to more her back legs.

Called the vet in for the same conclusion.

Lost one of my cats to this too.

Ah fuck. that's sad.
Sorry for your loss.

 

[Mumbles274]

So sorry. This is sounds like saddle thrombosis. I lost my boy to that. Horrendous thing to go through. This makes me sad!

Have had a little read about that. Doesn't seem likely as Bob had no pain reflex in his back legs rather than extreme pain. Still, doesn't change its horrible. Thanks for sharing though as helps to try to make sense of things

Hope you're OK Mumbles274 - its always a shock but it takes time to get used to the death of a companion.

 

[Mumbles274]

Hope you're OK Mumbles274

Thanks. I'm OK I guess. Just glad it was all quick and he didn't have a long drawn out suffering. Plenty of other hairy beasts around the house so I suppose that helps not to feel so empty about it all

 

[planetgeli]

So sorry man. Pet deaths wreck me.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Give your other fluffy beasts an extra hug.

Give your other fluffy beasts an extra hug.

Already given his brother Blue a big cuddle. Can't help but wonder if he'll know he's gone/miss him etc

If your boy had no pain,. It doesn't sound like it was this.
My boy was in so much pain he screamed all the way to the vets. Horrible horrible experience.
I'm glad your boy wasn't in pain. It doesn't change it for you. You've still lost him. But at least he wasn't in pain.
Thinking of you. It hurts like hell when we loose them.

He was distressed but certainly not in acute pain so yeah, as you said, glad of small mercies

 

[Mumbles274]

Just found a thread I posted on here. Nearly 8 years ago, so Bob was just over 8 years old

 

[spitfire]

Sorry to hear that Mumbles.

 

[Mumbles274]

 

[Epona]

Awwww lovely photos. 8 years is too soon, poor little love - and you must be broken hearted

 

[trabuquera]

I'm so sorry about this horrible news Mumbles274 . So abrupt and shocking for you to have to deal with. Bob was indeed epic and it's very clear from the pics how loved and contented he was throughout his life. Rest In Purrs ginger tortilla killer. And hugs / scratches (*delete as appropriate) to the rest of the household.

 

[Mumbles274]

Bob was buried in the garden today and I've just ordered a Cornus Midwinter Fire to plant over him

I think the colour is suitably Bob



For now he has a little cairn

 

[Chilli.s]

Sorry to read this.

 

[felixthecat]

Oh im loving the pictures of your gang

RIP Bob xx

 

[May Kasahara]

I'm very sorry Mumbles274 He was a cat well loved. The cornus looks lovely.

 

[StoneRoad]

Condolences about Bob ( the Tortilla Killa ) Mumbles274
That cornus is nice and bright to match his colours.

 

[Saunders]

Lovely marmaladey dogwood for a lovely marmalade cat. What a good idea. Hope the space he’s left isn’t feeling too big, and that your other animals are ok without him there.
