She was such a lovely, sociable cat. I know we'll really miss her. The DC are devastated. Her grown up kitten is a bit confused.

Can't really believe it has happened tbh.

They are like family

I'm very sorry, how awful for you. She looks very pretty in those photos - what a lovely collar she is wearing in the middle one.

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/06/2016 19:57

Thanks everyone. We buried her in the garden, and I spent the whole afternoon comforting the DC, that it hadn't really sunk in. I'm pretty cut up about it now. I have had cats all of my life, and she was by far the nicest cat I've ever had. She would hurl herself at visitors' feet and would keep doing it until they acknowledged her and said hello, which was pretty embarrassing if it was the painter or the plumber. If you walked past her she would reach out with her paw to stop you, and make sure she got a stroke and a cuddle, and you could only go after she deemed she had had enough.

I'm sorry, she was a beauty.

Vinorosso74 · 26/06/2016 21:32

What a beautiful girl. I'm so sorry and sad for your loss she sounds like a lovely cat. Lots of cuddles for your other cat.

SunnyL · 26/06/2016 21:36

This happened to us 3 years ago and 1 month.

Thing is our cat was a little bustard. He attacked everyone. I was 9 months pregnant and really worried about whether he'd attack the baby.

But to see such a feisty character reduced to such a pitiful state was awful.

Chewbecca · 26/06/2016 21:37

I'm so sorry. She looks very like my blue tortie tonk who is also such a loving, friendly cat.

CatsGoPurrrr · 26/06/2016 21:40

I'm so sorry for your loss

DramaAlpaca · 26/06/2016 21:41

So sorry

CocktailQueen · 26/06/2016 21:42

Oh, how sad. So sorry. She looks gorgeous.

Middleoftheroad · 26/06/2016 21:49

I'm so sorry - what a gorgeous girl. This happened to me when my Charlie was just 2. Last month I found a cat who had been knocked over and had to break the news to the owner and her teenager so I understand how hard this hits the children. It's so heartbreaking and painful. But she was loved by a family who clearly gave her a great life. Big hugs xxx
