Our elder cat had been poorly for awhile, all due to old age (she was 14). On Monday we made the decision and booked the time at the vet for Thursday. Yesterday we took a trip with her, and came back with an empty cat carrier.

I’ve had more fun days in my life.

    Sorry to hear that H.

    Take it you’re not feline too good?

    OLB - Never stops.

      Smallman1 upvoted, but fuck you Ed. I’ve lost pets before, but if they were a cat or a dog (my ex had a hamster, and my wife used to have pet rats, but grew tired of their life span on about 2 years) the last time was in my childhood home. I’d lived in the same apartment/ house with this cat for 8 years (missus got her in 2008).

        We just got a new kitten. He’s absolutely fucking mental.

        it’s like having Dave Benson Phillips running around your house. Our older cat Bozwick is now sulking.

          And sorry to hear H. Properly shit losing a pet…

          vinnyt77 that’s a thing to consider. Our younger cat is now so confused, she keeps trying to find her buddy. It’s quite heart breaking. I figure she’ll get it in a few days, it’s only been one night.

            mono-stereo it takes awhile. When we got our younger cat, the now passed older one was very much an older child. They never got cuddly, but she even groomed her every few months after about 6 weeks or so.

              Sorry to hear that Hannu. 14 is a good age though and I’m sure she had a great life and knew she was one of the lucky ones.

              My father-in-law was a consultant ENT surgeon for the NHS. Spent his days cutting cancer out of folks. Absolute hard cunt in terms of feels when you’re in that game, as you can imagine.

              Cried his eyes out when the family cat was put to sleep.

              The feels are real.

              We adopted a street cat born in the garden, she was 6 months old when we took her in after she was hit twice be cars, broken leg and slashed her mouth. Aborable little bitch. Best friends with the dog. Constant entertainment but I can’t tame the gypsy in her, shes always breaking glass, jumping up on the table when eating, licking your face or biting your head when sleeping etc etc but shes one of the gang.

              Didn’t mean to offend H, apologies sir.

              Homegrove shit Hannu, my thoughts are with you and your missus. I’m only 3 years and 1 year in with both my cats, they drive me insane but it will be devastating when the time comes.
