Willum died this afternoon.

That's it all really, completely out of the blue my handsome white boy left us at 2.25pm on his way to the vet. He was gasping for breath and he just stopped.
The vet suspected a tumour on his liver. That's my fourth loss in less than a year. No flowers or wine thanks, just take care of your cats and try to relish every minute with them. He was only eight.

I'm so sorry, 6cats.

Very sorry for your loss. I will submit myself to sharp-clawed kneading with a little less complaint this evening. Mind yourself.

DraenorQueen · 20/02/2016 19:34

I'm so very sorry for you. One of mine has ruined something special to me today.... she will be hugged and loved like the other two.

Minimammoth · 20/02/2016 19:35

Big hug for you 6cats. I will appreciate her royal mogginess even more.

RoosterCogburn · 20/02/2016 19:37

Having been in this position myself my heart goes out to you xx

Redbindippers101 · 20/02/2016 19:44

So sorry for your loss. I hate it when they die, but cats bring so much joy to our lives.

AlmaMartyr · 20/02/2016 19:45

So sorry 6cats, big hug for you.

So sorry, 6cats. Mine are currently having some sort of riot to which I'm not invited. I will give them an extra hug when they calm down.

Vinorosso74 · 20/02/2016 21:12

So sorry to hear that and so sad he was still quite young
We had a bit of a worrying unplanned vet visit with our cat today. She's looking slightly spaced out on painkillers.

Hello, Vinorosso 74. Am off to bed in a mo but just have to say l hope your girl is going to be OK. If only they would talk and describe what's wrong with them. Apparently Willum must have been masking his symptoms very thoroughly because l suspected nothing. I keep looking in his favourite box but he's not there. Nite nite everybody, take care.

Take care. Its an awful feeling.

Wolfiefan · 20/02/2016 21:44

We lost our old girl aged 19. I could accept that given her age.
8 is far too early.
Wolfie kittens are cuddled and loved everyday. When they do bloody irritating things they make me smile. I won't have them forever. (I'm hoping for 20 years plus!) Whilst I am lucky enough to have them in my life I will love them to bits.
Xx

Iwouldratherbemuckingout · 20/02/2016 21:56

So so sorry for your loss. Much hugging happening in iwould towers tonight.

Vinorosso74 · 20/02/2016 22:00

Thanks 6cats. She's on my lap but is a bit out of sorts. I wish they could talk.
Hope you sleep ok.

DraenorQueen · 20/02/2016 22:26

He's not there, but he was one of the damned lucky ones to be loved by loving humans like yourself. One of mine was killed last year on the road. It devastated me but I was comforted to know that in her short life she was loved to her very last. RIP beautiful Willum xx

MEgirl · 20/02/2016 22:53

Sorry to hear. It's never easy.
