Cat down

After 17.5 years the kidneys finally gave up this morning.

It was very emotional holding her whilst the vet administered last
rites.

Oh well, it's only a cat

Sorry to hear that mate. The furry little buggers really get to you,
don't they? Still, a damned good innings for a moggie, is that.

 

Aye. I don't blub that often, but I did the day they did that to him.

Daft moggie. RIP Samson.

Paul.

 

They do. She was a second hand cat (as the previous 'keeper' moved into
a flat which they didn't care for) but she was still a love and it was a
good 3 years we had with her.

Now her sister is another thing; a cranky old tart she is...

 

junk@[127.0.0.1] took a blunt brush and painted...

Sad news, I can guess how you feel.

Both mine are about 14~15 years old now, neither looks older than 10. Daft
lovable fur balls.

 

Now, I thought it was dogs that reflected their owner's character...

 

But a very good cat indeed.

 

No it isn't. It was your cat.

Oy, I'm watching you!

 

Quite.
Mine got squashed a couple of weeks ago.

 

Condolences. Thats a bloody good innings for a cat.
You now have the joy of housetraining a new kitten.

 

Aaahhhh.

(I read the header and thought this would be a thread about exhaust
systems and the replacement cost, actually)

 

Shit in the carbs.

Angle grinder?

RIP that moggie.

 

Renal failure? Sounds like the cat liked a drink!

 

In message

Like her owner then

Actually, I'm told it's a common problem in cats. French (for that was
her name) was diagnosed with this over 5 years ago so I suppose she's
had a good innings despite this.

I still miss her though!

 

That's what my two went with last year, within 6 weeks of each other.
They were 18 and 17 so good innings. I still miss them.

Kitten time. I have resorted to luring neighbourhood cats to get my
fix of pussy.

 

I seem to be a pussy magnet at the moment.

I was pottering in the garage a few dyas ago and the neighbour's fluffy
thing came to visit.

Yesterday, I was solicited by a cat in a car park.

Today, I had a ginger tom kipping on my lap when I visited a client.

 

Kittens? I have this bucket full of water needing company.
