Your daily cat and kitten news
- Thread starter Mation
- Start date
it's weird, normally I'd check he was in for the night, he'd be on his favourite chair, but now he's just... gone. He was fine and then he was just lying there dead All a bit surreal tbh. I'll really miss him

Funny, idiot cat has no interest in human food, with the exception of crust duck. He doesn't beg for it, we can leave stuff on the side and he ignores it...

YESSS! They're ace. And I love it when people adopt black cats (often passed over at shelters/rescues for reasons from bad luck to them 'photographing badly'.) And I love it even more when the new cat custodians then take loads of good photographs of the cats and share them around.

Bit of drama today, with Breeze "saving the day" semi-Lassie style!
I'd put some stuff in the tumble dryer in the bedroom. After about 20 minutes, Breeze came into the living room loudly mewing (which she usually only does if she's upset - otherwise it's barking noises for food or buzzing as "normal" communication,) which got my attention, so I got up and followed her into the bedroom. Sniff sniff, burning!
Opened the dryer and black smoke rolled out. No actual fire at least, but I hadn't smelled anything and it hadn't reached the smoke detector, either. Have a dead tumble dryer now, but at least I'm not, nor piggies.
Thank you Breeze!

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
Word. By accident, every cat I had as a kid was black, I have a real soft spot for them.
Although that just made me sad, thinking about one I had just a couple of years back, poor Roger. Knocked down, he was only about a year old, had him from a kitten, literally from birth. Poo.

S'okay, bit of residual guilt really - should have got him a bright collar, should have kept him in at night etc etc. Poor lad, died on the way to the emergency vet. I was in rented accomodation at the time, but my ex let me bury him in her garden so I'd know where he was. Did it in the pissing rain, whilst crying, that'll stay with me a while. Silly arse.

Don't beat yourself up. My black cats variously lived till 16, 19 and 21 and none of them wore bright collars or were kept in at night.
And I think Loki is more likely than any cat I've ever owned to get run over - despite being long haired and apricot tabby colouring (so very easy to spot) he's not very car smart at all
It's true, you can't protect cats from every risk, so you shouldn't feel guilty but I can understand that you do- illogical as it is. I remember when my old cat Fanny died, I couldn't dig her grave for crying and the mister had to do it for me ( we'd only been together a few months at that stage)

she wasn't bothered about the tumble dryer - there's someone stuck down the well!

Indeed, my Archie is a very beautiful fluffy black cat but it's very difficult to get a photo of him where he doesn't look either dusty or greasy.

Ours are the complete opposite of Breeze the Heroine Cat.
They mew & wail loudly at the slightest thing (like a minor pang of greed, or just passing each other on the stairs) but I have no doubt that should the house catch fire they would either sleep through it and have to be rescued, or hurl themselves out of the catflap leaving me to die of smoke inhalation or burn to a crisp.

I'd like to think she was heroic, but she was probably just annoyed by the bad smell and wanted me to do something about that! (Or realised if I were dead she wouldn't get fed and that would not be an ideal situation ...)Ours are the complete opposite of Breeze the Heroine Cat.
