I found him in the bathroom. My children grew up with him and his mother who only died last May. I have been in the garden digging a place to put him and have had to stop as it is hard work.
He was the best ratter you would ever know, and he was cheeky and noisy and loving and I will miss him so much.
End of an era. Legend.

So sorry for your loss. Sounds like he was a fabulous character and loved a very full and happy life with your family.

So sorry for your loss; sounds like he was an amazing presence in you and your family's lives

RIP sweet boy. My lovely ginger giant left us at the same age and we were heartbroken. He sounds wonderful.

Yesterday he was naughty. he kept trying to steal my food and I had to brush him off the table. I fed him several times and I groomed him. He fussed a lot and even had a little fight with the puppy which he won !
He came in last night through the cat-flap and made a lot of noise. He always announced his return very loudly (Siamese) I saw him on the stairs as I went to the loo.
He liked going in the bathroom because we have a dripping tap. He liked drinking fresh water.
He was still warm when I found him. He's wrapped in a blanket now and we will bury him when my grandson finishes school.
I'm glad he went like this. Being pts is what you dread isn't it.

He sounded like a beautiful kitty. So sad….

Sorry for your loss RIP lovely Siam boy X Flowers

VeryQuaintIrene · 25/01/2023 13:52

Sweet cat, and I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds as though his death was quick and painless, and that was a blessing for him in spite of how sad you must be.

kirkandpetal · 25/01/2023 13:56

Oh bless. Hope you're okay x

Our chap is nearly 19 and become very howly of late. We've had him checked out and all fine, just old age. He's half Burmese, half moggie so very guttural when he wants and god it is loud. I dread the day he leaves us, but would rather it was in his sleep here at home then having to be pts or in pain at the vets.

RIP Siamese dude.

So sorry op. My little one was 17 and a half and had to be PTS on Friday. I was hoping she would just go in her sleep (she had cancer) but in the end we had to make the decision.

Your little one sounds like such a character. You'll always remember those good times .

LakeTiticaca · 25/01/2023 14:22

Ah bless him. A long well lived life, and passed away at home ❤

SingingSands · 25/01/2023 14:28

Seventeen years of love. ❤️
Bless him. It's such a privilege to share our lives with our pets.

Hobbesmanc · 25/01/2023 14:32

Oh bless him. What a privilege to have shared his life. And such a gentle way to leave. In his home. Surrounded by everything familiar and those that he loved. Fly sweet Prince xx

Defiantlynot41 · 25/01/2023 15:20

Oh bless him - purrs and hugs to you

Toddlerteaplease · 25/01/2023 16:40

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like he had a great life and knew he was loved.

Gatekeeper · 25/01/2023 16:44

What an absolute corker he sounded! Such a long and happy life he had with you all and then quietly going off for his long, long sleep

My sincere sympathies 😿

Finallydo · 25/01/2023 17:39
