Must see:

I’ve never seen a cat do that. I’ll bet that cat was a stray at one point and is very food insecure. Our Rainbow doesn’t do that, but she over eats and she was born a stray and never knew when she would eat next.

Must see:

One of my ferals, Big Momma, will load up her mouth with kibble, step away from the bowl, drop the mouthful of food on the ground, and then eat it.

These were my most recent fosters, Archie and Sundae. Sweet kitties and very quiet except a couple of times in the carrier. They made their weight for spay/neuter and were placed at a "cat cafe" about 10 days ago and both appear to have been adopted!! These 2 had diarhea a while (so common with kittens) and they started limping about a week apart. Apparently, a slight fever can cause that. Archie had it first and was limping and lethargic for a few days but was back to his playful self soon after. They both went in for a weight check, at which time the Humane Society decided to monitor Sundae and her limp themselves. So glad they found homes as we're right in the middle of kitten season.

I wish I could retire after only four and a half years of working.

My Mom sent me a pic of Willy Nilly, a cat that runs a shop in Maine (well, he probably supervises his staff that runs it):

He's a small cat, and it's a big world. But Mango's going to get it sorted.

Heart broken, in the early hours of this morning we had to take Rosie our little cat to the vet and said goodbye, I’ve now just buried her in our garden.
she had a great life with us for 20 yrs!, very much loved by me and the wife .

I am so sorry, Martin. I know how difficult it is to lose a pet. I have lost many and greatly miss them all.

Thanks Ron, it certainly is difficult.

 

[Paul Hillenbrand]

Sorry to hear that Martin. 20 years is indeed a great lifespan showing good care.

Thanks Paul, she will be missed for sure.

@Panman40 So sorry about Rosie. When you have a cat that long it’s like the passing of an era. Was Rosie a tortoise shell, she looks like one? We had a tortie, Ginger, and she was healthy all her life. The morning she passed, she was fine and hollering for her baby food treat. That evening she crashed we made the trip to the vet.

When you lose a beloved pet, you learn how large they were in your life. Again, deepest sympathies.

Thanks Johnny
yes she was a Tortie, really good natured but scared of everyone but us and my limited family. Rosie was a sister to Tess a black cat who I treated for 18 months for diabetes, she passed 4 yrs ago now. Our previous 2 cats were both Torties, mother and daughter!.
Sorry about yours although it’s nice she was healthy until the very last. Much the same a Rosie really, her sister was always up to no good though!.

im not sure if I will get another now, I love them but it’s to painful to loose them.

thanks again

OMG, Tess was a beauty. I hope you do get another cat, the rewards far outweigh the negatives. Read my signature quote for my feelings about the matter.

It is always never enough. Every single time.
