RIP Charlie

Sad news, D.D.

We've lost much loved pets, and know just how you must be feeling. Thoughts are with you.......

Sorry to hear that, DD.......

sad news , it's always an empty feeling when we lose a family pet .....

Very sorry to hear your news DD. We have had three gorgeous cats, sadly we lost one at only 18 months, so only a kitten. We had a lovely Tabby called Platini ( it was a World Cup year!)' he was 13 when we lost him to cancer, but Cheddar, our gorgeous Ginger cat was 21 when he died. He had the temper to go with the fur as well! All much loved, and missed by the dogs as much as by us! Treasure the memories, they are as lovely as dogs!

Sad news, it's devastating when you lose a much loved pet. But you will always have the memories of your time with Charlie. Will be thinking of you.

Very sorry to hear your sad news.

So sorry to hear your news [Deleted User User] .

Sorry to hear that DD.  They are sadly missed aren't they!

We're cat lovers too - and when our elderly cat's time was up we made an appointment at the Vet for the Monday morning.  On Thursday of that week a tiny kitten, too young to be away from it's mum, was spotted in the garden.  When I went out it ran away, but I put some milk in a saucer in the garden and it came out and lapped it up almost immediately.  It looked very thin and bedraggled.  A friend of mine who works for the Cat's Protection League came along with some advice and a trap, and within twenty minutes we'd caught the poor little thing.  My friend reckoned it was no more than five weeks old and hadn't eaten properly for a few days and was a bit dehydrated.  A few saucers of milk and some mashed sardine soon sorted that out, and it went happily to sleep in the trap box.  It was feisty, and spat at us when we tried to hold it, but soon calmed down.

It was absolutely identical to our previous cat - except we thought it was a boy!  It was a little tramp - so we called it Chaplin, and it became 'our new employer'.  SHE is now a lovely cat who travels with us to France, and loves us working for her there!

Another similar tiny kitten turned up in the next road, a day or two later, and we reckon someone had dumped a litter of kittens in the lane outside our house.  Fortunately two of them got good homes out of it.
