My cat died

[TheArmadillo]

My parents put him down on friday - he was elderly and they took him to the vets as he was unwell and found many many problems.

They didn't tell me or my sister for a few days as I was unwell and my sister was away. Doesn't matter how old we get they still want to protect us which is nice.

Dad buried him in the garden next to his brother.

We got those cats the day before my sister's 6th birthday. The other one died soon after I left home.

I would have like to say goodbye, but even if they had told me on friday I wouldn;t have been able to - woudl I?

Kinda feels like my childhood is over completely now he's gone in a silly way probably.

It'll be strange not having him around. He was a wonderful cat - so friendly to everyone. Never bit or hit or got wound up. Was a character as well. Lots of the kids my mum teaches at home adored him as well as the kids that lived near them.

RIP Sam.

awww sorry to hear that

how sad
sorry you didn't get a chance to say goodbye

im so sorry

its tough time, sounds great cat though and our pets always my favourite member of the family iykwim

remember all the good times and you guys will chat about him too, so not like he's completely gone iyswim

sad about not telling you though, my parents did this to us over our dog of 17 years..we walked in house and knew something was missing..

thanks.

Am sad but wouldn't want him to continue in pain.

He got 'old' very rapidly so we knew he wasn't gonna last forever.

Still unexpected though.

My sister's taken it better than we thought, which is good.

He was a perfect cat, especially around children. Never met another like him.

A few years ago when the other one died, my auntie did me a photo frame with lots of pictures of them as kittens and older. It was lovely and I think I'll get it out again.

aww poor cat and poor you...im surely he had a good life xx

thanks.
