Peppino Impastato Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Had my cat put to sleep two weeks ago tomorrow, thinking about getting another one, absolutely devastating experience but there's a big hole left it makes you think the only way to fill it is with another cat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go for it. They all have such different personalities and I'm sure it's the best way to get over any sense of loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to eat my cereal earlier while browsing on my phone but one sat his arse right on my screen and the other went into my bowl to eat my cereal. Goodbye peaceful days. I like the one underneath - he looks like someone out of The Lost Boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a year now since we had to do the same. I am pretty much in the "never again" camp as I was utterly gutted. Mrs Romeo desperate for another moggy. She did mention a dog but the threat of a boot in the pie has stopped that terrible idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Going back 30 or so years - this was Poppy. Likely the only photo I have of him. He was a very chatty cat and ate ANYTHING. Cheese slices and crisps were particular favourites. Even ate cake icing once. Outside, nothing beat a tasty moth. Even once tried to pilfer from next door's koi pond. Poppy was female until we noticed her sitting washing her cock. At least it meant a cheaper operation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMartyn86 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Anyone on here moved house with a cat? I'm moving in three weeks time and the little c**t will be coming with me. My plan was to lock him in a room in my new flat to let him get used to it and buy a top up for his feliway plug in thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many, many times, unfortunately. It'll be a lot easier with just the one. We had five for one move, and stopping them from fighting was a nightmare. Sounds like you're doing the things you're supposed to. A couple of days and he'll be fine, and will most likely take his time to explore the new place room by room, like a soldier in Vietnam looking for tripwires. Make sure he's got some of his favourite toys, as that's supposed to help too. Maybe some catnip You got enough bodies to help, or are you on the look-out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think. oot or in? You've got to let them out, anything else would be cruelty. I live on a busy road, and he's always crossing it, that's my biggest fear,that he will get wiped out by some twat in a corsa or a stupid woman in a suv. I don't have a choice though, Smudger lives for being outside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Two weeks ago our old, deaf cat siezed upon this Dominos box which I had dropped to the floor to give the kids more elbow room at the table. She has slept there ever since and I haven't the heart to bin it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think. oot or in? Keep 'em in, unless they start hanging around/clawing at the door. They'll soon let you know if they want to go adventuring. Our oldest decided he was interested a few years back, after a lifetime indoors. He'd wander down to the bottom of the path when we let the dog out into the back yard and would stand and have a wee look about. Soon as the dog came back in, he'd trot in with him. Gave it up after a few months and hasn't shown any interest since. Think the youngest might be building herself up to taking a look, but we'll see. Not sure what use that is to you, but anyway! 33 minutes ago, BigMartyn86 said: Cheers mate. One of the lads at work is going to give me a hand. If I'm struggling I'll give you a shout.

Lisa Cuddy Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Had to say a sad goodbye to Bentley today. He was 16 and has never been what you'd call a well cat - grade 2 heart murmur, small appetite and prone to vomiting - but he's taken a real downturn in the last couple of days and this morning wouldn't touch food or water. The vet confirmed dehydration and kidney failure and had he been a younger, fitter cat, she'd have recommended fluids and trying to manage but given his condition we agreed that it wouldn't be fair on him to put him through it. He was asleep in seconds in my arms. Here he is in the summer stalking the pigeons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
