I am a cat lover and I am so sorry Pete. We have nine cats and each one is precious to me.
I echo Anne's sentiments entirely.

So sorry, Pete - sending love and sympathy. We too know how it feels. They twine their way into your heart.

Yeah we lost Gypsy the Indoor Cat early this year. I still miss her. She was the only pet my wife and I had together. But we gave her a good home and she had a gear life.

Just a week ago we got ourselves a dog from a rescue service. Buster is a Chiweenie. Part dachshund and part chihuahua. Twelve pounds soaking wet and I assume he was abused. He loves my wife but cowers around me. I think he'll warm up to me eventually.

Dear Pete,

its always the same bad feeling when loosing a dear pet.
And it is very difficult to overcome the loss.

Two years ago, one of my cats has had a tumour next to his left ear in his head so I am aware of what you are feeling now.

I gave her a burial in my garden next to numerous other pets of mine.

Best wishes from a friend in mind!

Sorry for my english,

Manfred from Germany.

And me :-( Our poor Homer lost his fight against the big C a couple of years back. We were with him when they euthanised and it still brings a tear to my eye to think of it. My sincere commiserations.

Sorry to hear it.

I know the feeling of such a loss - with me, it always leaves an empty place inside for awhile.

I found it healing to write down all the good things I remembered about my cats, that I could reflect on clearly in the future.

A new pet can eventually cover over some of the feeling of loss, but is never a direct replacement, of course..

Having been through that one with a dog and cats I know how hard it can be. Leaves a big hole in your life.

Sorry to read this, Pete. It's hard to lose your friends. Non-pet people sometimes don't get it. We've been through this with some of our cats. It's some comfort knowing you gave them a good home and they shared their lives with us.

Been through this too.

Take care.

I know it's small beer compared to what others here are going through, but it still hurt.

Dyan had been showing signs of an upset tum for a few days (sporadic, loose output) so we took him to the vet yesterday afternoon. Vet examined him and could feel a tumour in his bowel "about the size of a marble". Said the only way to find out exactly what it was, i.e. benign or otherwise, was to operate so he was kept in overnight and had the op this morning. Vet phoned at 9.10am to say it was cancer and that it had spread so much there was really no option but to euthanise and would I consent to that.

Sadly, I didn't have much choice.
