General Chat

So Sorry about your cat Sharron, no exactly how you feel,we had to have Sebastian put to sleep recently, its hard to get over. however we have just got a rescue cat and it helps just a little bit.take care.**M**.

That's very kind of you to provide a 'takeaway' for them :-D

I took in a neighbours abandoned cat - they moved, took the dog, left the cat. She disappeared for about 6 months, then reappeared, then moved in. She must have been with me for about 3 months, when I caught her hoiking the the fish out of my pond and she and my other neighbours cat were eating them :-|
My other 2 cats had the manners NOT to eat the fish.

The neighbour was furious, as her cat was allergic to fish and had to get her stomach pumped. She actually tried to blame me for HER cat eating MY fish!!
Fortunately, she soon saw sense......

They have all been around for a while.

They evidently don't know I plan to have a goldfish this time.

One of those has been hanging around for quite a time, hasn't it?

The best cats are the ones that choose you!! :-D :-D

Probably still saving him a bit of his fish.

So sorry to hear about Desmond Sharron, I bet Fred was pleased to see him again.

He is in the garden now, with a bit of his daddy, where he like to lie.

I think I will leave the front door open with a plate of cat meat inside now. There is black pussy who comes for food and there is tabby pussy. Round the back there is a black one with a bit of white.

Now, didn't I always say I was going to have a goldfish next time.

I know I shouldn't - but your comments about your OH made me laugh.

It's nice that you had some last cuddles and tickles with Desmond.
Chances are, he waited until you weren't around to pass wherever cats pass to <3

and it's lovely that he went naturally, in the place where he was loved.

When I relayed to you the information I had been given the cat was not actually dead.

I don't know if OH doesn't quite understand the concept of dead, he bloody soon will if he is not careful, but Mond actually died last evening.

He was lying on the wet-room floor on a towel when I went down so I had him on my lap for a while lying on the big cushion we called the cussy puddler. He was deeply asleep and dreaming a bit but we had a few lat tickles and strokes and I got some water into his mouth with one of Fred's old syringes. Then we lay the cushion on the floor and Desmond stayed in the same position.

We had to go out for a couple of hours last evening and he was dead in the same position, looking very peaceful and comfortable when we came home.

I'm very sorry to hear about Desmond, Sharron :-(

Pets are much loved members of the family, and it is heartbreaking when they go!

Thinking of you :-) <3

I am very sorry to read about your Desmond's passing. I know how it feels to loose a beloved pet, so can sympathize with you. After vowing never to have a cat again, I now have a beautiful ginger tom.
Your Desmond obviously had a good life with you, was much loved and had a peaceful end.
Take care. Eileen x

Oh Sharron, I am sorry Desmond has gone to be with Fred. I know you will all miss him but knowing how much you did for him to have a comfortable life must give you some comfort.

I am sure you will sense him around you outside when the sun shines, still in his favourite spot.

Rest in peace now, Desmond

sorry to hear this .............. but he went peacefully, painlessly and in his own time


((hugs)) for you

We love our animals so much x .Thinking of you tonight God Bless Barbra

sorry to hear pussy had gone to Rainbow bridge :-( :-(

Sorry about the loss of Desmond. As said in this thread it's a peaceful end.

My OH was away working when our dog had a stroke, the vet found he'd suffered brain damage so I had to make the decision to end his life. I told my husband that evening when he phoned. OH told his 2 work mates who were with him, they were friends who knew our dog. There were 3 men crying into their evening meals.

Our cats and dogs become part of our family and their loss is felt as a loss in the family. It hurts when they die but we have the memories. Desmond went peacefully at a good age after a happy life that you gave him Sharron.

Cherish the memories, Desmond will be in his favourite spot what more could he ask for? <3 <3 <3

R.I.P. Desmond <3 <3

I'm so sorry you have lost him,but glad that he went peacefully.

I still miss Milo, who we lost at the age of 6 a couple of years ago. He had a happy little life, but it was just too short, and left me and his littermate/ best buddy devastated.

As Uzzi says, remember the good times, and it's lovely you can give him his favourite spot in the garden.

The catch 22 is, it was often the cats that got me through the bad times, but what do you do when the bad time is the loss of the cat?

So sorry to hear about Desmond, Sharron. <3

It was a blessing that he spared you that heartbreaking decision that many of us cat owners have to face <3

Sorry to hear about Desmond, Remember the good times xx
