Caturday...

[Bibs]

So sorry for your loss matey, sounds very sudden which makes it all the harder. Hope you're all coping as well as can be expected.

Cheers Bibs. It’s still raw, but I guess time will be the healer for us. Our kids don’t remember a time without Rainbow in their life. In contrast, when I was a kid, we lost several cats to illness and cars, so I was kind of used to it. These two are the first cats I’ve owned since those days, so I’ve forgotten how bad it feels when you lose one. At least we still have her sister Jet, who is getting extra cuddles today.

I had to take a guest to the vets - she was on medication but the vet said the best thing was to put her to sleep. After the vet had a conversation with the owner's son they agreed to put her to sleep. I was there and held her while the vet administered the injection.

When the owner returned she was not totally surprised but still upset. She came at the weekend to thank us and to say that she really appreciated the fact that someone was with her as she went over the rainbow bridge.

Sorry to hear the sad news. We had a cat go that way. Never easy.

[eeyoreish]

We went through it with our previous cat a few years ago (and even my wife’s horse a couple of years back). It’s tough, they’re a big part of your family but in time it will get easier.

We found it helped to do things to remember them by. Buying a plant for the garden that is ‘theirs’, framing a favourite photo of them etc…

We've a good selection of entertainment for the cats and a laser pointer is in there! Just got sent this by the breeder. . . 



This beautiful little girl was run over and killed by a neighbour last night. He's currently pending a conviction for drink driving and drink drives pretty much every single day. I kinda want to kill him right now so he can rot in hell but am focussing on the love for Daisy we had over the past 6 years and how much joy she bought to our lives. Gone too soon, I miss her a lot already.

Oh man, I feel for you mate, met that little Mog on a fair few occasions!! She was super cute

[Sizona]

Thats terrible Andy, such a shame. Yes you must be well upset and furious.

Wish you well.

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Oh god that’s awful. What an arsehole. I really feel for you. It’s a horrible sensation.

We finally got over one of our twin cats dying last month. Curiously the surviving sibling Jet has become more like her sister was. She’s looking after my wife, whilst I’m away. Her sister used to sit on a magazine on the sofa exactly like this, whereas Jet never would. Strange.

OMG, that's the worst news Bibs. So sorry to hear she's gone and it was potentially 'avoidable'. Hope you at least reported the person responsible to the police if he's not supposed to be driving? 

[Chillidoggy]

So sorry to read that, Bibs.

Yesterday and again today as we've just seen him driving again, clearly drunk as Rachel confronted him and he was slurring and couldn't put a sentence together. And to Crime Stoppers for what that's worth. 

She'd be sat on my lap right now if it wasn't for him. She was only 6. 

[Barrykearley]

@Bibs I’m so sorry to read this. 
keep reporting him - put a very detailed report on crime stoppers as well.

everytime you see him go near that vehicle and you suspect drink - 999 - it’s the only way.

[Barrykearley]

This drink driving caper is a joke - folks should have their licenses suspended immediately when suspected.

please share and sign.

Haven't mentioned this yet but we lost George in the 1st week Jan. Sudden. Feline Infectious Peritonitis. It's endemic in the environment and most cats get it and shrug it off. With a very small number it mutates in the body and invades the immune system T-Cells. It is a form of coronavirus (but not COVID 19). Up to about 1 year ago it was 100% fatal. But following COVID they have some success with remdesvir anti retroviral (same as they use on people). We tried everything but it didn't work. Only 5.

 

 

Arrives in about 3 weeks.

 

 

[andydclements]

Those really are quite some ears to grow into.

[100th_Idiot]

He'll grow into them. He was 1.6kg at 9 weeks and will grow for 2 years

She does know how to pose 🤣

If you killed that cat @Chillidoggyblood or cat excrement can be easily removed from your lovely bleach cleanable carpet using a 50/50 cold water bleach mix.

Just saying...
