changingman2000 35 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Now in the grand scale of things I know this counts for fuck all.....But, After 18 years, I had to put my cat (Scratch) to sleep at the vets, Due to chronic kidney disease, And I am absolutely shattered. got him from the Cat santuary of Battersea Dogs Home in October 1996 when the staff there said he had been badly mistreated, and guessed that he was between 4 - 6 years old. I named him scratch because, seemingly due to his previous owners, he was very defensive vey aggressive. Anyway, Brought him home from vets and buried him in my front garden. Gutted. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,320 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 18 is quite an age for a cat. Know what you're going through -same thing happened with my cat last year 'Puss' (original I know). She adopted me as a kitten, and had her 14 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Its such a terrible thing, i lost my cat Oscar last week who ive had for 14 years, i was 7 when i got him. He had a tumour, the vets said that they could sort it, i paid £800 and my mum paid £500 all together so it came to £1300 to try and save his life and on Bank holiday monday, we was laying dead on the carpet so it was all in vein Seems as tho he died of starvation as he couldnt eat. One of the worst and sasddest days of my life. My sympathies are with you as i know just how bad it feels. RIP Scratch. They really are family members The possitive is that we gave them great lives and as the saying goes, one life ends as another life begins (or something within those lines) Edited May 13, 2008 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never have thought i'd be as cut up was I was but hey ho. On Sunday I sat him on the breakfast bar and washed him, He just sat there and let me, which for a cat as they aint the most water friendly. I woke up on Monday morning, took one look at him and knew his time was up. He knew too. Desperately sad time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 That's horrible. I feel very sorry for you. I have a cat called Nuti and if, god forbid, something should happen to him, I would be devastated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
