Sad news. She/He was a good age, mind.

We were taking our current overlords to the cattery this evening when Pingu pointed out an inmate there that was the spitting image of Pippin. I got quite choked up which was a bit of a surprise 9 years on. Didn't see that coming.

Little furballs leave a big hole in the heart.

Bet pippin had a great life with you.

I'm so sorry Ian, it's hard when cats die even if they get to a reasonable age.

I met Cat a few times.

They get to you, and they grab you.

RIP Fuzzy 13/6/08 - 10/4/24

He had a good innings and a great life, and was very much loved.

Cheers folks. We'd had him since he was a kitten, just a few weeks before Jo and I got married, so he's been a bit of a fixture in our lives and very much a cherished member of the family. Yesterday evening I kept expecting to hear him purring (he was a big cat with an exceptionally loud purr), or scratching on the larder door, or see him sitting on the doorstep as I came in from the paddock (he was starting to find his catflap too much effort). He was an absolute git at times, but we adored him. It's going to take a bit of adjusting to life without him. :'(

Sorry to read this, Legs, what a lovely looking cat he was.

Dumpy has lost 40% of his body weight since January, has had the squits for weeks and is eating very little. He's at the main vet hospital for a full battery of tests. It's probably something pancreatic - exocrine insufficiency is reasonably common in cats and is easily treatable with food supplements, but cancer is not.

Fingers crossed it's treatable.
