New thread time. It's the Litter Tray's general chat thread about cats, life and the universe.

Phooey. I don't have a FaceBook account. I'll use my imagination!

NMC that video is fantastic 😂

I know Fluffy, it is just heartbreaking. There are many people still here who I would swap for him to be back!

Thinking of you today, Fluffy my love.

Like you loving Bertie, I still love Mr C like mad even tho he's dead and we're together in that, aren't we. I still miss the furry bugger, and frankly blame him. His ashes are interred in this warm building, cos I couldn't face putting him outside.

What lasts of us is love, and I think one day you'll feel that without missing him.

On a less poetic note, my neighbour screamed 'time to let go' when I was dithering about the ashes. She was right. I mean, I was livid, but she's buried humans and knows what she's talking about. After a rather frosty coffee, I grudgingly accepted that a fresh, sunny outlook is no mean gift to ourselves.

It takes so long. I got out my horses saddle pad - there's a company that makes them into cushions and soft toys. Was absolutely fine for months and the minute I got a whiff of her saddle pad I was crying

Don't even get me started on all the cheeky human bastards who are rudely still alive @coastergirl, you poor love.

We've got Puddy, Capn and Walter to take our minds off them.

darling Queen.

The only thing that cheers me up is that we live longer than they do so we can care for them throughout their lives, which is painful but a massive relief.

That's beautiful. I need to remember that, thank you.

Definitely. We lost our family dog maybe 31 years ago
My dad still puts his hand down by the side of the armchair to stroke her 🥺
I was always a dog person and then I got converted by a Birman

Exactly - I hasten to add that everyone grieves at their own pace and rightly so. I don't think I'll ever stop missing Mr C but a new day is a new day and not to be sniffed at.

Capn's rejected his first supper and wants a groom - time for a movie and a stroke with my hairbrush.

Paws looked both indignant and bemused at being pushed so unceremoniously back through the window.
I never thought of losing a pet in that particular way, Lana, but you are quite right.

I think a pic of Matt might restore morale. It would certainly restore mine Paper. How are you feeling?

Ollie says not enough cream as none on face. Needs more immediately

The Cap'n might be in the autumn of his life but he's still a handsome beast.

Vixen says hi to everyone. She is a super affectionate little madam, but is incapable of putting her tongue in her mouth

Love the pics of Cap'n!

Vixen is adorable. Love the tongue out.

I'm unwell with a high temperature. Walter is not helping!

Walter! Shift, your human isn't a hot water bottle

Walter is nursing you. Condolences 😊

Vixen = beautiful and unique, fabulous tortoiseshell fur.

Walter isn't listening! 🥵

Vixen is a diva at times, full on torti-tude. One of her brothers, Toad, just tried to force her to give him head kisses (I've tried to teach him about consent) so she had to hit him round the head a few times. He is now sulking on the other side of the room

😲 I used to have a cat called Toad Athena!

He was big, black, and a right soppy bugger. Named Toad because black cats were supposedly "witches familiars" and so were toads.

I used to have a tortie. Her and Walter were besties but she was hit by a car 😭 I'll find a photo of her.

Does anybody else have a cat with a constantly cold, wet nose?
