Random cat chat thread

[Shell195]

Well Steve myself and Cassie went to the vets and after an examination she agreed that her tumours had spread and she had fluid in her stomach and something going on with her breathing.We took a dish of cooked chicken which she ate until she went asleep, she never even noticed the needle, no stress for her at all.We had to go out the back door but although we are upset we both agree that the time was right, RIP Old lady you gave us many years of happiness

Cant believe this.When I picked my sphynx he was the smallest one and chose me really.The breeder voiced her concern that he was small but that didnt stop me wanting him. the breeder has contacted me to say that he had now fallen right behind the other kitts and was looking weaker so she took him to the vet who Put him to sleep due to having some kind of birth defect that was causing him problems and was untreatable. I will know more when I go and see the breeder next week. She has saved me a Red/white kitten as she was never happy with my little Pee Wee so i need to go and visit him.i do remember the others were gorgeous too but he kept biting my coat and playing which is why I wanted him so much. RIP little Sphynx kitten you were only 6 weeks old

Oh no.... Not a happy day on the cat chat thread Am so sorry... {{{hugs}}} You are not having a good day

[Esarosa]

Oh no Shell i'm so sorry on both accounts, rough day R.i.p Pee Wee & Cassie.

Oh Shell, not your day at all is it? You know my feelings about Cassie and your own comments about how it went prove what I've said all along - it is a gift you have given her. She'll have been to the vets and had injections throughout her life so nothing would have been different to her, except the chicken (wonder what she made of that - bless!). RIP Cassie!

As far as your Sphynx goes, that very disheartening, but it was obviously meant to be. You've had kittens in the house yourself and you know when you see a kitten behaving differently, or not thriving it that raises alarm bells and concerns, so she was right to be hesitant about you choosing that kitten. At least she took notice of those alarm bells and kept a kitten back just in case so you will still get your Sphynx. Maybe not the one you chose, but you'll love this one just as much as you would have loved Pee Wee.

What a sad day for you!! Lots of hugs - hope it helps!

im so sorry for both your losses today shell.
sending lots of hugs and kisses from us xxxxxxxxxxx

Good morning people the house is very strange this morning its amazing how much difference the loss of one furry friend makes. We are very accepting of losing Cassie due to her great age but are missing her ways already. Lets hope today is a better day. Will update you all on the Sphynx front as soon as I know anything. Name suggestions are now needed for a male Red/White Sphynx kitten

Morning everyone! Shell, I know what you mean, each of our pets has its own special place in the household and in our hearts and even when the house is full of them, there is a hole where one used to be!

What are everyone's plans for today? Anything enjoyable? I'm doing housework (not my fav thing at all!) and I've got a few animal adoptions to do for work before I head off to Scotland tomorrow to visit my son for 10 days - really looking forward to that!

[Shell195]

Im off to buy a Nano Mini Reef tank later. Scotland sounds good Eileen.I believe that they hadf their first flurry of snow yesterday. Make sure you wrap up well. Will you have access to a computer while you are there? If not we will all miss you. Have a nice breeak anyway

[feorag]

I sure will! I'm staying with my son and the computer is in the spare bedroom! Course I've got to wait for him to finish before I get a chance, so I'm normally on and off throughout the day when he's at work, but once I go to bed I can be on for a while. I keep late hours there because of this temptation!!

I don't know where the snow was but he's on the wesit side in Ayrshire by the coast so the weather is milder there than over here on the east coast. In fact he now complains about the cold when he comes home!!
