lost a furry friend today

[Paws]

:(
our big black neutered tom, shadow, has gone :(
We were hoping he would just go sleep one day instead of that dreaded trip to the vets.He started to look old and worn out and then started to be ill-could still climb up the 6ft garden fence though! :eek:
Cant complain, he was about 16-18 years old, we had him a a rescue cat from cats protection and they had guessed that he was about 3 years old when we first got him.
Ruled the house from day one-and conned us into picking him when we were looking for a cat, he was all fussy and loving in his pen-got him home and he sat on the electric box with his back to us for a week!
Really was my dads cat and hes devestated and the dog cant understand where hes gone, even my 2 girls are quiet.

[Speedy Claire]

Awww am so sorry hun... i`d be devastated if either of my 2 cats died and seein as how they`re both around 14 (gulp!) Big hug and play in peace Shadow

:(:(

[sv-robo]

sorry to hear of your loss,as a pet is always 1 of the family.

at least you can take heart that he had a long happy life(if thats any consolation to you):cat:

[Spiderman]

Aw no, i'm so sorry for you loss hun. :smt056

[Paws]

house isnt too empty as we still have my 2 cats and the dog but shadow ruled the house lol, then again when he was in his prime you'd see why-think mini panther!!!

Aww sorry to hear about that Paws. 16-18 years old? thats a ripe old age that, good for a rescue too, he was clearly enjoying life :smt001

Two of our rabbits went over the Christmas period, both due to old age but we still have their three children :albino: which makes it a little bit easier I guess but will still miss them.

[_drummer_]

:( *hug*

sorry to hear about this. i had a cat like that. he was huge cat (just muscle) weighing over a stone and was scared of nothing. every dog to walk past the house when he was there would run away scared!!

Probably the most difficult decision any pet owner has to make that... but then we let these fuzzy beggars into our lives knowing that such a day may come.

When all's said and done, they're worth it though.

[Treacle]

Really sorry to hear this hun. I would be lost without my little pickle.:smt086

[darylB]

Sorry to hear that, I know how u must be feeling as we had to say goodbye to oud dog on sat, we'd had her for 17 years and she was like our third baby. At least we let her go before she really suffered. the house seems really quiet now and it's strange not having her meeting you on the doorstep with her tail wagging.

Daryl.

[shonadoll]

Awww, I'm sorry. It's the hardest thing in the world, but very often the kindest.

[Paws]

The dogs really missing him as shadow was here when we got him and soon put tyke is his place!
weve still got my two still isnt the same

[embee]

Aw sorry. Love cats, me. :oops:

[Kinvig]

Oh no!

Poor ickle tyke.

[Amanda M]

So sorry to hear about your cat Paws, and your dog DarylB :( It's a heartbreaking thing to have to decide to do but often the kindest - our old cat had to be put to sleep last year after he got ill and we'd had him 10 years (he was about 18 years old though :o ). We were devastated, but got a rescue cat to make the house seem 'right' again :)

:grouphug:

Sorry to hear about this paws. Rip shadow.

[Supervox]

Losing a pet is always a horrible & tremendously upsetting experience :(

It doesn't matter whether they're young'uns or lived to a ripe old age - it still hurts like hell :(

[Tiger 55]

Gaun yersel Shadow. RIP.

[Paws]

cheers guys, house isnt tooo empty as when i moved back home i bought my 2 furry bundles of joy with me (cassie and ninja)

[DoubleD]

Sorry to hear about this.
RIP shadow.

[Jools'SV Now]

sorry to hear.

They know when 'time's up' themselves

Only time mine ever just walked into the cat box was the last time, any other time it was like wrestling an oiled up eel into an egg-cup.:rambo:

She'd been ill for a couple of months and had had enough. Her face just said "take me away please".:smt090

[wyrdness]

Sorry to hear about your cat. I've lost a few in the past, in particular one who was really special.

The saddest story that I've heard today is this :smt022

Its so hard when you have to make that decision :( We had to let our old dog go just over a year ago...we talk to her as if she were still here though! :)
