Thanks. This particular cat was one of my favorites of all time, probably
because of his hard early life and how quickly he adopted us.

Our cat is really getting up there. She's at least 17 , very tiny and light.
We only feed her small portions of food at a time, otherwise she throws it
all up.
Vets can't seem to figure out what's wrong with her. as far as being so
small.
Plus side...she's a very pretty calico type cat with beautiful green eyes
for her size and does she ever like to 'rumble'.
If I pretend to grab her front paws, or make fast hand movements around her,
she's in full attack mode.
She still keeps the dog in it's place too...she'll drink out of his water
bowl while he stands rigid just feet from her like he's ready to pounce.
He lets her walk past and as soon as she gets on the stairs, he barks and
jumps around as if he chased her there. It's funny but can get tiresome when
it happens numerous during the day.
Sorry for your loss, we sure do get attached to the little rascals.

Just like you are attached to your lover/clone/master Harry?

I lost a friend...

My deepest condolences and sympathy - I've been there, and it hurts like
hell.

Thanks. This is not the first pet we've lost and it won't be the last.
It sure does not get easier.

Maybe if you weren't such an asshole in life, it wouldn't be so hard.
You'd have actual human friends.

I lost a friend...

We had to put Casper down yesterday. He was my wonderful pure
white cat.

Casper was 22 years old, and he had a great life, once he adopted
us 14
years ago in Florida.

He belonged, sort of, to a neighbor across a backyard fence who
provided
him with a mean existence. The neighbor left him outside, day and
night,
winter and summer, and sometimes without water or food. Casper
was big
and tough, an alpha male, and he was frequently challenged by other
outdoor cats. He usually won the fights.

He wandered into our yard at one point, and came to the back
door. My
wife gave him a meal and some water, which he wolfed down. A few
days
latter, he saved the life of a kitten we were trying to get
inside to
rescue. Another cat was about to kill the kitten. Casper drove the
attacker off.

Casper wandered into our garage. We set up a bed for him there, and
provided food and water, but left the garage door open a little
so he
could come and go as he pleased. He seemed to be an outdoor cat
and we
didn't want to change his life.

One day, the neighbor came looking for Casper, saw him sleeping
in our
garage, and took him "home."

Twenty minutes later, Casper was back in our garage. I guess the
neighbor gave up, because we never saw him look for "his" cat again.
I felt no guilt at our "alienating the affections" of someone else's
cat. My feeling is that if you don't take proper care of your
pets, you
don't deserve to have their presence.

The seasons were changing, it was getting cold, so we took Casper
to the
vet for a checkup and shots. The vet said he was seven or eight
years
old at that time. Casper moved indoors with us and lost all
interest in
going outside. As with our other pets, the only time he was
"outside"
was when he was taken to the vet for an annual checkup.

He was a wonderful, loving cat, a "great kisser," according to
all the
ladies, a good companion and a loyal friend.

Casper had a good life. He lived a heck of a long time for a cat,
and
really enjoyed his life of ease and comfort. At the end his liver
failed, the vet said there was nothing more to be done, so, to
prevent
further suffering, we had him put to sleep.

I think the only thing worse than losing a spouse or a child is
losing a
pet you loved.

If there is a cat heaven, Casper is up there, selecting his harem.

Here's a snap of my three guys, Casper on the left, on their catbed
couch, now, sadly, down to two guys:

Anyone else, and I would serve up my condolences. But, because you've
been such a prick to so many, life goes on.
I have to agree. Any asshole who routinely wishes harm, or death,
to people here deserves a simple - sucks to be you.

If it looks like ****, if it smells like ****, well, it's got to be
loogy or krueger...or both.
Dig a bigger hole (really big), Krause, and jump in with the cat.
Your landlord won't mind and there certainly won't be a need for a
QCD or any other documents. You will never be missed. Don is too
dumb to remember what he had for lunch.

Garbage day today?
Sure seems to be a lot of trash talkin' from south of the Mason Dixon
line.


It's Krueger, the show off for the neighbors guy who bought two crappy
US made BMWs.

Your jealousy is sickening. It must really hurt knowing that I'm 15-20
years younger than you and I also own my house!

BTW - most of the neighbors have cars as nice as mine.

It's amazing how attached one can become to a pet dog or cat.
They don't ask for much and are loyal no matter how much of a jerk the owner
is.
My sincere condolensces.

Gawd...the two remaing look just like the 2 of 6 I have. 1 is feral,
and I'd love to play catch with dip****pic with him.
Pay no attention to asswipe loogywaitaminuteherring...he's most likely
got a Pot-Bellied Pig for a pet....or spouse.
Six cats? That explains a lot.- Hide quoted text -
