Please can we have a thread for cats no longer with us?

[MaidenMotherCrone]

Two years ago this week we brought our beautiful baby Kenneth home. We had to say goodbye in June and it still hurts. My FB memories this week are all pictures of Ken. I miss him.

These are my beautiful fur babies who had to be pts within 3 days of each other 4 years ago.

Jenson - the diddy black chap, was less than a year old when he developed some very odd symptoms. After 24 hours in the vets, they discovered he had antifreeze poisoning. After a further 72 hours of treatment which failed to work, on the advice of the vets we had no other choice but to let him go. I was cuddling him all through the process and he went so quickly and peacefully. It broke my heart but I knew I had to make the best choice for him.

3 days later and Freya (the sassy lass with the boa) started staggering around and she was immediately rushed to the vet. An hour later and we were devastated to discover that she too had antifreeze in her system!!! After discussing the situation and again on professional advice, we arranged for her to be pts too.

They were inseparable in life and we believe that they both got poisoned at the same time. We live in a mostly retired couples area and I really struggle to think any of our neighbours did this deliberately. We think that someone had done some car maintenance and had spilled some antifreeze that hadn't been cleaned up.

It was the most heartbreaking week of my life and I still weep at the memory.

My only consolation is that they are together and I so hope to see them again over the rainbow bridge!

Cats are so special and leave such a wonderful mark in our hearts, RIP to all the cats we have lost.

[MaidenMotherCrone]

I keep coming back and having a little cry for all these much loved beauties.

We lost Humphrey in April. Just typing this has me fighting the tears. He was the grumpiest guy but probably the best cat ever.

[RatOnnaStick]

We lost the Lion in late July aged 15. He was outrageously vile but we loved him anyway (while swearing at the smell/shit/slimy ginger furballs/dribbley kisses).

We lost our beautiful boy this week. I can't describe the pain.

I'm usually a horrible cynic about things like the Rainbow Bridge but it's keeping me going just now, even if he is only waiting for his brother, currently stuffing his face with Dreamies in the kitchen.

We lost our beautiful boy to HCM at just seven months old. All our other pets had lived to old age, devastating to lose such a wonderful character so young. Still sorely missed.

This was my lovely Max who was pts on 1 March 2015 at age 17 having had a stroke. He was such a naughty boy but so loving. How I miss him.

[Soupoftheday1975]

This was my darling Billy-Bob

[Sheepasaurus]

My beautiful Phoebe. Known as phibbles. The most lappiest lap cat there ever was.

[MirandaWest]

This is Philomena who was always known as Beanie. She died at 14 in January 2015. Still miss her

[ememem84]

Suzy. She was 23 when Dm has to have her pts. She enjoyed carried bags and hunting in the cupboard.

I’d never read about the Rainbow Bridge until tonight, how beautiful and comforting 😢

[BulletFox]

William

Cannot understand why people abandon pets. If you take them on you at least try to ensure they are healthy, happy, safe and loved.

Amazing mum! :)

[PinkSparklyPussyCat]

This is my darling William. He was a stray who lived in the service road behind my house - I didn’t realise though as a neighbour had a similar looking cat. He eventually moved into my back garden but we couldn’t keep him as he tried to chase Harry off so my amazing Mum took him in and his last 5 months were full of love.

I hope he was waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for her

[BulletFox]

Precious Ken and other cats. Aww this thread is making me cry as well! You can't help it, as soon as you think of them you get emotional.

Always loved and remembered.

[retirednow]

What a lovely thread, we had to say goodbye to our Mia four years ago, funny but she looked just like OPs. These beautiful creatures will always be in our thoughts and hearts.

Hoover looks like the classiest way to travel 🙂
Great photo
Some lovely moggies on here

[overnightangel]

Lost my little girl Timmy last September, rescue aged approx 4 when I got her, had a lovely 5 years together, ended up with an unoperable tumour between heart and windpipe so was put to sleep. She was a great companion (chewing my hair aside 🤔) Very strange creature but loved her to bits (not much of a help when I was trying to study tho as you can see!)

[TroysMammy]

This is Barnaby's brother Troy who died on 10 May 2016 of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 2 months before his 6th birthday. He wasn't so barmy.

[TroysMammy]

It's 4 years today that I last saw barmy Barnaby alive. He was knocked down and killed and I found him 2 days later.

This is the last photo I took of him. He hated the hoover, why on earth he thought he would sit on it always puzzled me.

[Justonedayatatime11]

Been just over a year since I had to have Willow pts, she was only 3 still miss her so much

[AccidentallyRunToWindsor]

This is my beautiful girl. She died 7 years ago and I still tear up when I think of her.
