First of all my deepest sympathies to you and Willy, I lost both precious and smeagol to cancer last year. It’s a horrible disease. I chose in home euthanasia for Smeagol and the vet for Precious. The decisions were based on a couple of different factors but primarily it was down to...

I haven’t been on here in a while but I couldn’t let today pass and not post. My little Gollum is a whole year old today. I do not know where the time has gone. He came to me in February of this year. And has brought so much joy into my life. There are too many photos but here are a few...

Blessings to you and pallina, I have read this thread so many times since joining this site, hoping that I too will commemorate my lost babies in the same way that you do, year on year. It is so beautiful to see and a testament to the impact that this beautiful angel had on your life. She was...

thank you for the reply. He’s on kitten food and he’s on solely wet food now, he was on a combination of both wet and dry when he came to us by I phased it out over the first few weeks. I’ve kinda been doing what you have said. He tends to eat 4 meals per day, usually two feeds he will eat more...

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere. Is there a standard formula for working out the number of calories a cat should consume? I’m actually trying to figure out how many calories my kitten should be consuming and so I know they require more than an adult cat, but also to find a way to...

@Antonio65 thank you, no words could have done her justice but I tried. I read your thread about you losing your girl and the very real struggle that you had to find a way forward without her. I came across it when I first joined the site after losing my boy. Believe it or not it’s those types...

@iPappy thank you and I do also believe that we will see them again. I know that no feeling is permanent and that this sadness will also pass. I just have to navigate these darker days until that happens, and I have my little Gollum to help me do that, he has been a blessing amongst all the...

Thank you everyone for your condolences and beautiful words. I miss her 💔

As some of you may know, my darling girl Precious was diagnosed with an inoperable tumour in her neck a few months ago. We had to let her go on Wednesday because the tumour started to become too much for her. She was so brave and so dignified in the face of such a large and aggressive tumour...

Thank you for the kind words and support, it really does mean more than you can imagine.

Thank you so much. it was no news was good news for a while there and if you asked me two weeks ago I would’ve said that I thought we had a few months left. But when she started to struggle jumping to places that were a breeze a few days earlier, it became apparent that things were progressing...

Thank you so so much for all of your kind words and heartfelt responses and for how quickly they’ve come through. if I can ask anything of anyone on here, I most certainly don’t feel its my right to ask, but can I please say that if you are religious please say a prayer, if you drink please...

She’s gone. The sweetest most gentle and beautiful soul I’ve ever had the good fortune to encounter in both the human and animal world. We unfortunately had to facilitate her passing about 6 hours ago, but it was more peaceful and stress free than I imagined given her shy and reclusive...

@cmshap i wholeheartedly second this and am ever so sorry about the loss of your brother and your own struggles. I had quite intense psychiatric help in my late teens early and early twenties because I didn’t leave the house for almost two years following a trauma that occurred in my early...

It does doesn’t it. And looking back to this time last week I was very much in a dark place. I’m by no means suddenly ok but I have spoken with various people around me over this past week and I have a strong support network. I know navigating this isn’t going to be a linear journey but today...

@danteshuman that poem brought me to tears but not in a bad way, thank you. we already adopted a little boy soon after my old boy passed away. However now we are to lose our girl at some point on the horizon, I think it would be good for me to just stand still for a little bit once she leaves...

@di and bob i think although sometimes advice is given and is clear, it takes someone that has walked the same road to say the words for them to really penetrate and I think that’s what came across from your reply to me. It spoke to my soul. You did me the most wonderful kindness and helped me...

These are wonderful! I hadn’t realised when you spoke of Nobel when I first joined here that you had lost him so very recently. It was less than two weeks after I lost my boy. I am so very sorry for your loss, he was such a handsome boy :hugs:

@di and bob i just wanted to come back here and say that your advice and words have done me the world of good. It helps to talk, but doing as you advised and focusing on the present has stopped a lot of the overthinking (I’m notorious for it), the catastrophic thinking, the erratic emotional...

@iPappy thank you so much for this. It gives me peace beyond belief to know that my worst fears are not a reality. I can’t tell you what a tower of strength you’ve been through all of this. My head fell off completely over the last week or so, almost like the pressure of he last 7 months finally...
