Big hugs, the fur babies mean so much to us don't they, he really is in the best place

Ah, thank you for the nice messages of support. He is actually getting better rather than worse, according to the vet, but not ready to come home yet.

I have been cleaning up the messes, the sofa took quite a lot of cleaning, and he also peed on my laptop, which thankfully was just sprinkled rather than ruined. I didnt want the other cats getting ideas about peeing on top of what he had accidentally done. Poor little Bear, he really couldnt help it. He will need a new bed too, which is a bit sad, he has had it since he was a tiny baby kit. Ive been trying to steal Owl who "owns" dd, and Mr Toad who is ds's shadow, but not really a snuggly cat. I think they miss Bear too.

That's good news, CatKitson. And I hope you got some sleep last night as well.

The mess cleaning is one of those things. Happens to most of us at some time - and it's doesn't even figure compared to the love they give us.

Im actually quite hopeful now, and with any luck Bear will continue to get better and come home soon. The vet has been really lovely, and completely understanding when I call up and bother them for updates.

It is a privilege living with my little group of hooligans, and I really don't mind cleaning up after them, Ive just never had such a big mess to clean up, the poor thing was really poorly, but all the stains are out.

Toady just dropped a mouse by my feet and gave me a little brrrrrup, which has cheered me up immensely.

I'm sure you don't mind - and you sound more cheerful. I hope the news continues to be good.

Bear was found to have cysts in his kidneys as well as the blockage, and apparently they were inoperable, his kidneys were a mess. He was put to sleep with my holding him.

Thanks for the kind words.

Cat I'm sorry for your loss sweetheart

Oh Cat. At least he went with you holding him - and in love.



I'd go to a Midnight Service tonight if I were you. And thinking of him.

I miss Bear ever so much, we really had a close friendship. I know that sounds crazy, but I know he loved me and I truely loved him. From the moment I first saw him and he cuddled into my arms he was mine.

It can be so hard when there's that empty spot in your life. Chin up Cat.

I'm so sorry

When the time did come at least he had you cuddling him tight, just like the day when you first met him.

In time your sadness will be overtaken by all the happy memories you have of him. In the meantime, take it gently and look after yourself.

I think the other two cats are missing him now. Toady has been sitting next to me now Bear has gone. Still not "on" me, but next to me, which is new, and has been moving further up the bed at night time. I even got a little bit of kneading from him, which was very much appreciated.

Having to put a brave face on it, so I dont spoil things for the dc over xmas was probably a good thing.

I'm so sorry to hear about Bear
