Even the stoutest heart........

......will one day falter.

I'm afraid that Seniorboy died late this afternoon. At the vet's. I have some very very fine whisky waiting to salute him with and I am just going to go and light a candle for him. I probably won't be around for a few days - or if I am, you'll have to bear with some rather tipsy posting.

My Darling old lad.

I'm sorry you're hurting - not a regular on this part of the forum but came on here to wallow about our Russian blue 14yrs who we had to put down almost a week ago. Our Bengal is mopeing around and is sitting in all her favourite spots as if to claim something back of her. Feeling rather emotional and then had a chuckle at your Lik-e-Liz comment. Our little girl loved it and I fed her about 6 on Thursday before taking her to the vet because our bengal hates them and they were 'her' treat.

Your boy looks beautiful - I feel your pain.

I'm so sorry cozie. I'm not a cat person but I have just had to take myself off to the toilet to wipe my eyes before my dh and dd tried to figure out why I'm in tears over a. St who belonged to someone I read occasionally on the internet.

He was very very special.

[cozietoesie]

Thanks, hopeful. Unfortunately, the world's supply arrives tomorrow. (Very effifcient online supplier.) I'm hoping that next door will help me out.

[SuperFlyHigh]

cozie so sorry for your loss. As you know I have a half Siamese so know exactly what characters are.

I loved hearing about Seniorboy's antics and he will be missed here.

[hopeful31yrs]

Hope the whisky is good. Sat and watched the sunset last Thursday with a glass of wine in hand - it was beautiful and felt like a fitting way to say goodbye

[cozietoesie]

The candle feels like a sort of (long lasting) substitute for that. Thanks though.

[BuckingFrolicks2]

I'm so sorry Cozie. You sound like a wonderful cat lady (in the best sense!) I bet he had a great life with you, understand and loved as he doubtless was

[BuckingFrolicks2]

Understood and loved, I meant.

[moonbells]

Oh Cozie. I am so sorry.

[SecretNutellaFix]

I'm so sorry, Cozie- he was such a handsome fellow.

As for the Rainbow Bridge situation if you have multiple cats gone on before, the answer is simple- all of the little buggers will attempt to trip you up en masse.

[cozietoesie]

Seniorboy's candle.

[maybeIwillmaybeIwont]

Oh no, Cozie, I am so sorry..........Seniorboy was a Mumsnet Litter Tray legend and will be very much missed by us all . Sleep well precious boy.

[cozietoesie]

He's at rest now, maybe. His memory is strong with me, though.

[Hassled]

Oh I am sorry. He was a fine looking cat.

[DramaAlpaca]

Oh cozie I'm so sorry to hear that Seniorboy has died .

He was a wonderful old lad, such an age! And clearly quite a character. I've loved hearing about him & I will miss him.

RIP Seniorboy, MN legend.

[cozietoesie]

Even The Lodger will miss him, I guess. He never managed to get him 'on side' after all.

[9GreenBottles]

Heartbreaking for you When they get to their teens, there is always the knowledge that this sad day will come, and you make the most of all the time you have with them.

[bigtapdancingpimp]

What an amazing cat he was.

So sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you xx

[cozietoesie]

Thanks.

[cozietoesie]

And .I'm still perched on 6". I guess it's too ingrained.

[LanaorAna1]

A candle is burning in London as well. Only right to light up the UK, eh.

[cozietoesie]

Thank you, Lana.

[StillMedusa]

So sorry Cozie. He was a beautiful boy and a grand age.
Much love to you x

[CoolCarrie]

Sorry to read this, he looks beautiful

[YesItsMeIDontCare]

Oh Cozie! I am so so sorry to hear this.

My thoughts are with you.
