Your daily cat and kitten news

I think she is dying in front of my eyes. I'm waiting for a friend to come and take us to the vets.
 
Well, she's gone. :( It was very quick, and the vet said I did the right thing. I probably should have done it this morning, but butchers is away and I wanted to give him a chance to get back and say goodbye, but as it was I couldn't leave it any longer. She was howling in pain and it would have been cruel to leave her hanging on.

She has been with me for 17 years, through thick and thin, my divorce, another break up after that - she always seemed to know when I was upset and would come and sit with me and purr. I will miss her loads.
 
Awww, how sad for you, Geri. It's so hard when it feels like they've always been there. Take care x
 
Pets are fantastic comforters, especially cats cos they are in their own little world until they know you need them.

I had a cat, Tag, who was 15 when I went through some emotional hell at home. She never left my side. When I left home I took her with me, and the lift in my stress levels lifted hers too; she was like a kitten for the next few months! I miss her a lot, and that was 20 years ago.

They leave a hole when they have gone. Big sighs and sadness. I'm sorry you have lost her Geri.
 
So sorry to hear that Geri, when they go there is a cat-shaped hole, but when you can - remember the good times, in 17 years you must have collected a good few memories.

So many! The time she brought home a bat (alive) and the time butchers left his faggots out and she nibbled them were the funniest. And the way she would jump onto the table and lick his toast when he got up to make another cup of tea...
 
Thanks everyone. Feeling OK today, had a little cuddle with Jimmy this morning, which was nice. I don't know if he has even noticed or cared that she is gone! He will be the only cat in the house for a while now.
 
Really really sorry to hear this Geri. But you did the right thing. Don't be too freaked out if you think you glimpse / hear "phantom" Geris in the house for a bit - it's totally normal if you have shared life with another creature for this long! Enjoy Jimmy and don't be too sad.
 
Bubbles followed us 500m on our way to school this morning. He didn't cross the busyish road so didn't make it as far as the foot bridge over the railway. He was waiting for me when I came back. I met someone else today who commented that 'the fluffy one' is always lying in the road and she's amazed he's not been run over. :facepalm: I love my boys but they're very dim

When my mum was a lass she had a cat that followed her to the end of the road her school was in and would be there every day when she came out.

Hopefully, if he's not lying around in a busy road and it's only during the day, should be ok. There's one near me who sleeps nowhere else it seems.
