boetie Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Tearing up just reading your post Wayne. Sorry for your loss. They are a family member, I was heartbroken when our ginger Krinkles passed at 18yrs. Many years of good memories for you, hope you've got many photos of her to smile at. Cheers and best to you Graeme 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Q Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Our most sincere sympathy, Wayne. We've had cats all our lives (wife and I). Sadly they just don't live as long as we do, and the loss of our beloved fur babies is absolutely devastating. We've been through it, so we feel for your loss. Grieve as long as you need to, then if you can, go to the shelter and give another poor homeless kitty a forever home. Share the love! Ken & Karen P.S. Our Chessie is.also 15 now. Still an energetic cat, doesn't act like a "senior" at all. I say he's in midlife mode, if he were a human he'd be tooling around in a sports car ( a purrari?). But we watch him carefully, well aware that at his age this can change suddenly. Edited October 31, 2023 by Ken Q 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 So sorry for your loss of Felix. My wife and I have lost three cats in that same way, and it just breaks one's heart. I join the other Forum folk in wishing you well and assuring you that in time you will lose some of the pain and carry on with fond memories. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbypickett Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Sorry to hear about Felix Wayne. The thing I find about animals is that they are loyal honest and not fake. I've had a number of pet cat's die over the years and it's sad. All the best to you and your wife. cheers Gumby 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullfox Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 So sorry for your loss. We have lost many cats over the years. All four that we brought to Oregon 9 years ago are gone. We have two real sweeties now that we got from the local animal shelter. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 So sorry to hear of your loss of your family member Felix, Wayne. 😪 We lost our fur baby of 16yrs almost 4 yrs ago and it's every bit as bad or worse than a human. I still think of him everyday and the things we did together over the years. Now we have a new little boy, a Goldendoodle named Ben. 🙂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamba765 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I definitely feel your loss. My wonderful cat died after 14 years of being my friend. Anybody who has never had a pet can never understand how painful this can be. I'm a volunteer at a local animal shelter which is great, but I still miss my little buddy and always will. Unfortunately, this comes with being a pet owner and we all have to deal with it sooner or later. I'm just glad I have numerous pics and videos I can look at. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
