Can a cat choose you?

[aquapiranha]

Andy that is a very sad ending to a lovely happy story. You have to console yourself with the knowledge that while the cat was not able to tell you herself she obviously felt for you enough to stay with you, and that to me tells me she had a very happy life with you.

My cat, Callie was a rescue cat I got her when she was about 6 years old and that was about 3 years ago now. I am dreading the inevitable but I keep telling myself if she was not happy then she would have left by now.

Pets are just like family and that is why I get upset at the mistreatment of all animals, and the main reason I am a vegan.

Andy,

I think your talents are wasted on AoS. By the time I got to the end of your eulogy, I had tears in my eyes.

It is amazing the effect pets of long duration have on us. Regardless of whether they are cats or dogs, they become part of the family and their departing is a great and sad loss.

Thanks for the 'The Story of The Little Cat'.

Regards

Thanks guys. There is no defence against the little fluffy bundles that sneak into your lives and steal your heart.

Cracking stories about our feline friends. Today I am up in the Lake District at my sister in law's house. Her two cats Mr Darcy and Jessica have decreed that I am 'ok' as a part time bed!!! Wish I had my camera!!!!!!!!!

What you have just read was written some weeks ago. Unfortunately little cat’s condition has deteriorated and she cannot go on. We have just come back from the vets with her little body wrapped in a blanket. I have cried for three hours and am absolutely devastated. She left us at sunset and I will stay with her tonight. She will be buried tomorrow at sunrise. We will remember her always. Especially when we look at the beautiful rose bush we will be planting tomorrow. Its name says it all.

My meds prevent me from crying, but I know exactly where you are at the moment. I don't know what it is, but if a little puss adopts you for life, you're blessed indeed. Psychic? of course they are
