We’re all broken right now. so sorry to hear that mate. really is the hardest thing to do, even if it is what's best. no one apart from pet lovers gets it. 21 is a great age, but it's never long enough 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 There's a barking bobcat about 100 yards from my house at the moment. The kitties are not going to like being locked indoors for the time being.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Had to take my cat into the vets today. She's started showing signs of heavy breathing, almost like she was struggling. Ultrasound done and diagnosis is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, so Heart Disease. They're clearing the fluid off her lungs and will see how she is in a few hours - but it's just going to be about managing quality of life for her now I think. 13 years old, she's had a loving and enjoyable life thus far - especially after we rescued her when she was 1.5yr old (she was being used for breeding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he got it through the cat-flap I will never know. Woke up to some proper commotion in the basement. The little word removed did it again. Please stick to mice and rats if you please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Always found the idea of a single man living with cats slightly odd. I just can't take to them, but the thought of anyone being cruel to one is abominable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an emotional **** evening with that game going on at the same time. I was playing snooker and the missus phoned me to come back. Caught her final breaths as I sat with her.

Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 2 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 2 First bit of decent weather, so next door's cat Bradley pops over to see us. But we know he just considers us his dealers, as we have catnip growing in the garden. Same every time, totally off his face. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 14 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14 Think I've mentioned on these pages about a friendly cat we used to have visit a lot. It first came round as a very young cat about 15 years ago. Anyway, we haven't seen it for a couple of years. It had had issues with its fur and had disappeared for weeks at a time before. Anyway we had assumed it had died or something or the family moved away. However it's just turned up at the back door meowing to be let in. Like nothing had changed in 2 years. Really strange. Hope it's not one of those cats who have walked miles to get back to their old house! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Since we moved to the Shires (mate) I think our cats have got a bit lazy. They only seem to pick on poor little voles and shrews, at which I give them a proper bollocking. In fact our ginger, Freddie, will bask in the sun in plain view of two big rats that come from down the embankment and he does **** all. Now apart from being lucky enough to live in a rural area, our neighbours run an abandoned animal sanctuary, and the lady there is well chuffed with our Freddie. Why? Check the video she sent us this morning. Still got the skillz, just doing it for someone else 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why he feels the need to drag them down to the basement when every other kill/catch-release is displayed on the front door carpet is a mystery.
