Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Sorry I haven't been around. Friday night I had to take my 17 year old cat in to be euthanized. He had had what is called a saddle back Thrombosis. Basically a " cat heart attack " . He had a blood clot lodged in his spine and it was exceedingly painful. I had to take him to the vet and do the " dirty deed " . He had a good and busy life. Got him in Sweden, went with me to England and then to here. Better traveled than most folk ;-) Anyway, that's why I haven't been around. Pumpkin was bad, this was worse. Will catch up with the mail today. TTY'all L Cheers!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm so sorry, I had a 17 year old cat that I had to eurhanize last summer. It was sooo had to let him go... he was in germany twice and traveled around the states with me. Not bad for a cat that hated traveling. It's so hard to say goodbye, no matter how old they are. Big hugs to you.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Dear Kathleen, I'm sorry to hear about your baby cat. It's so hard to loose your babies. I think of my cats as little people with fur coats who bring us joy, love, happiness, and a lot bovine excretment to clean up. (Now Laugh and smile and think of your baby with wonderful thoughts.) You're in my prayers. Love, Rhavda (Owner of 7 aging cats who rule the roost around here and the dog ;-D) > >Sorry I haven't been around.

" -( Losing a pet is just like losing a child, sometimes. I don't think I've told my favorite cat story here, but some of you may have heard it before. When we lived in Seattle, our oldest yellow tabby succumbed after living for almost 17 years. He was huge (25 lbs. in his prime) and was the king of the neighborhood. Always in fights; his vet bill rivaled the national debt (also smaller then), and he had indeed used up all 9 of his lives. When he passed, we decided to bury him in the yard. Youngest daughter, Rachel, Rob and I covered him with lavender and rose petals and carried him down the stairs to the back yard . . . I looked behind us and every cat from the neighborhood fell in solemnly behind, making a procession of about 6-8 or so cats and us. They all sat quietly around the grave while we said our goodbyes and filled in the hole we had dug very deep. Then they all followed us back up the stairs and quietly went their separate ways. We wondered for days whether they were just *curious* :-)), but I think there was a sense of loss or something else that was going on. One of our favorite strange and moving moments in life. Bless your kitty and bless our long-gone Diver (named for the first Dragon of Pern). Be well, Marcia Elston, Samara Botane, http://www.wingedseed.com " First of all, cultivate a contented spirit; a garden is a good place to begin.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Woobey Queen: Sorry to hear about your cat. I went through this a year or so ago with my red/white cocker spaniel. Had a terrible time adjusting but now have a black cocker whose name is 'Little Bit' cuz she has a little white under her chin. Just hope I live long enough to really enjoy her. Hope another fur friend can sneak into your life!!!
