Goodbye sweet Emma Cat, 7-25-19

[Cogidubnus]

So sorry to hear about your cat Pat...It's always a wrench, and always leaves a hole...

Dave

Many thanks, Dave. Yes, so sudden, and I can't forget my shock when I realized she was seizing.

No Simon pure mini my Max, I’m afraid my health probably isn’t up to a giant, I thought yours was part poodle, one great 5hing about Schnauzers is they don’t shed, not like Dalmatians where white hairs are everywhere

The last photo makes it really clear that you're living Down Under.

Naaaah just a trick I taught my boy

Hi Pat

I saw this thread come up a few days ago but I've only just felt ready to read it. It's terrible when a pet dies, and you have my sympathy.

My cat came from a cat home (picked up as a stray) and we were told he would prove a challenging pet. Nothing of the sort! He seems to think that my bed is really his, and sleeps at the head end next to me. Mt bed is covered in hairs.

I love him to bits so, once again, my sympathies.

I am sad to inform you all that my beautiful rescue tortie cat Emma (see my profile pic) passed away this past Thursday due to unexplained seizures that left her in a coma. I agreed to humane euthanasia and sat with her before, during, and after the procedure. She had just been to the vet the day before, and about two weeks earlier. The emergency vet I talked to on Thursday thought she'd had a stroke or brain clot.

Sigh. These things happen, but we both miss her very much. She was our anchor after our older cat died 3 years ago. Emma was 15 years old. I can't recommend enough you get your senior pets in for a check up!

We're thinking of getting a pair of kittens or cats, but it may take time.

condolences PC. theyre like family-hang in there! In my life ive lost Otis my big red tiger allycat and Titan boxer mix, both rescues and cried like a baby when both passed. theres more love to spread though when your ready!!!: )

[Herlock Sholmes]

You’re all making me regret more that I no longer have a dog.

I always wanted another dog and to call it either Watson or Mrs Hudson so that I could call it in from the garden smoking my pipe sounding like the great Jeremy Brett. My family said that this would embarrass them though. Spoilsports! I’d even promised not to wear my deerstalker. How reasonable is a man expected to be?

I just stumbled across this thread whilst poking around.

I am so sorry for your loss PCD.

As a fellow animal lover, I know just how hard it is.

You did a lovely thing by adopting Emma and giving her a good life.

I sincerely hope you consider adopting again (when the time is right and you feel ready).

[JeffHamm]

Sorry to hear the news. Sounds like she was a well loved cat though, and that's a good life. It's hard to lose a pet, they're such a part of the family.

Apologies Pat for posting on this thread.

I searched for your "When is the right time to get a new pet" thread, but couldn't find it anywhere, so this seemed like the next most appropriate place to post.

The Diddles household is once again alive with the pitter patter of tiny feet (or great big chonky murder mitts in the case of one of it's new incumbents)!

Meet Toffee and Hazel:

[Ms Diddles]

They arrived on Friday and they are rescues from Bahrain (it's a long story!)

Toffee settled right in immediately and is very cuddly, friendly and chilled.

Hazel is very nervous still and is basically living inside my piano and only venturing out occasionally.

You need to zoom in on the photo above to see her.

She's on the window sill behind the cat tree!

I toyed with the idea of giving them ripper- related names.

They were nearly Squibby and Mrs Fiddymont, however on arrival it became very apparent that they respond to the names given to them by their rescue mum.

Having had such turbulent lives and such an extreme change it seemed kinder to stick with what was familiar to them.

I will of course elaborate (Baron Toffee Von Floofenberg / Baroness Hazel de la Floof???)

I still miss my siamese soul mate terribly, but these guys are completely different and I love them already!

Hi Ms Diddles,

Monty sends purrs to Toffee and Hazel, but that's only because they don't live in his neighbourhood!

He doesn't appear to know that there is another Monty Brown living within 15 minutes' walk of us here in Sid Valley. I don't think he'd be very pleased.

Love,

Caz
