RIP Chewy the Cat

[_Gina_]

Bummer start to the day this morning, our beloved cat was run over last night :crybaby:

We have had Chewy for three years now and he has been the perfect cat, never had an "oops" inside as a kitten, really personable, slept on the bed with us.....all round good cat. Great mouser, birds....etc.

Didn't even complain when we got another kitten!!

Best mate to stifarms.

Poor Chewy, he will be missed. My Smooch may have been attacked and seriously injured by the cat next door last week, but at least she is still with us, albeit a little limpy still.

It's so sad when a cat is run over. If only they came with some inbuilt ability to avoid roads!

Bye Chewy, hope there are plenty of mice where you are now.

Kids make you smile though, my eldest is wondering whether we could find a Genie - because you are allowed one wish and she would wish for Chewy to be with us again.

Just had to have my 18 yr old cat put down largely because he was now blind and almost deaf and we couldn't bear the thought of him getting run over. He wasn't good looking ( previous visit to the vet, the vet even said " he's no oil painting is he" ) but had a fantastic nature and even avowed cat haters liked him. They may be arrogant bird murderers but couldn't imagine not having one around ( we are down to three now ). Condolences to you GG

Bugger. Sorry to hear that.

On one hand it's "only an animal", but I know they're actually pretty damned cool little guys and gals.

Hope the day improves.

Sorry to hear that GG, maybe a new kitten will help?

[Phurrball]

RIP Chewy.

My deepest sympathies to your humans. Your companionship will be missed. :weep:

I could not imagine how terrible Mrs PB and I would feel if our cat was prematurely killed - she is our 'fur child'

[Str8 Jacket]

Bummer GG, really sorry to hear that. It really hurts when you lose a pet. When I moved to Wellys 3 years ago me and my partner at the time split after only being here 1 week, I thought that was bad but got over it. But a couple of months later my little tabby cat Rastas was run over and killed, I balled my eyes out for days.... I still miss him heaps!

Sorry to hear that GG. I'm a huge animal lover; have a dog myself. Shes not a dog really, more my 4-legged daughter - I'd be a mess if anything happened to her. I know what a big place in your heart pets take. Am sure there are 100's of fond memories you have of Chewy. Hope you are feeling better soon. :sunny:

[_Gina_]

Your thoughts and words are appreciated.

We have another cat - Lulu - so we might just wait and see whether we want another cat/kitten. We have also got a pet sheep, a weiner calf and a horse, so I am feeling pretty overwhelmed by how it feels to lose a pet and I suppose realising that we have lots of responsibilty animal wise!

Having a bit of a shit week really - On Tuesday our baby hare died.....so two burials in one week.......better not bloody come in threes...
:no:

[MidnightMike]

Man that sucks, mine died a few days brefore xmas, hence my holidays have sucked ass :spudgrr:

[Coyote]

Damn, feel sorry for you :(

[Motu]

Tiz sad to lose one of those critters,I'm a big cat lover...they are independant and can't be trained just like me.I could never own a dog because you have to tell them what to do - sit down,stand up,lie down,heel,shut up - I'm not a bossy person,not a control freak,so a dog would be wasted.

My daughter is fostering kittens for the SPCA,and every few weeks she gets a new litter to look after and bring up to weight - we are both waiting until that ''special'' one comes along.The single kitten she took back last week was close,a cute all black girl - she had been found in a rubbish bin only 2 weeks old and unable to walk or eat....she has been hand reared and has only known human company,so that's what she thinks she is....so,so cute,but too stroppy for my wife.

[Colapop]

We've got 2 human kids and 2 cat kids, having recently (just before xmas) added the second cat child. The obligatory hissing has passed and now the older one (a nuetered male) treats the kitten as if she were his own.
It's hard to lose 'em but even harder to have to send them to sleep. Chin up.

Poor chewy.
May all the birds in cat heaven have their wings clipped and the mice have no sense of direction.

[burn-out gurl]

Sorry to hear about Chewy getting ran over last night.
i hope the rest of your day has gone alot better,
im sure chewy is happy playing with birds & mice
in kitty heaven

My puddy cat Tineke has been with me for 14 years, I feel your pain.

[Shadows]

Sorry to hear that, cats can really be like one of the family.

[mstriumph]

:( :grouphug:

[Scorpygirl]

Sorry to hear this GG and RIP Chewy. We had a cat that turned up at the doorstep of our home when I was 13, we took him in and called him Sox, cause he had 4 white paws. He was a real character and had obviously had a run in with a car before cause his tail was all broken and crooked. I loved him so much even though he was only with us for about 4 months. He was run over and killed about a month before my Dad died of Cancer. :weep:

Sorry to hear GG, but beings come, beings go, enjoy them while they're here, and think kindly of them when they're gone..

If you are serious, YES, take the poor bloody cat to the vet IMMEDIATELY. If you are broke, perhaps the vet will let you pay it off but don't let the poor animal suffer in pain. It could have an infection and could die in agony.

Then when the cat is well again, please find a decent home for it because I don't think you deserve to own it.

Gee didn't think me old mate chewy been gone that long, good news is chewy's replacement is as cool as a cat can be

you can....if ya keen..cut the fur away from the wound and treat it with a salt water solution an slow the wound healing and your cat gettin an infection,have done this a few times and can help

Awww sad I am dreading the day when my beloved Rueben leaves this earth.
Hes a fairly rugged character having already used at least a half dozen of his nine lives.Run over twice and still kicking,however his chassis is quite badly bent and he walks sideways.
The first time when I took him to the vet broken in half dragging his hindquarters behind him was fairly traumatic.
He had a broken back and my girlfriend at the time suggested it would be better to put him down than pay the 1500 repair bill.
I think i replied with something along the lines " how about I get you put down".
Needless to say we were not together for much longer after that.

[bikerboy011]

I did shave the hair off and cleaned the wound with savlon. Its fine now wound is healing.

it turns out that it was a bloody possum, i so it last night when my cat went out and it was in the tree. now i need to kill that damn possum who has a shot gun :)

RIP little buddy.

"Treat me kindly, dear master. Accord me the courtesy due to a cat — and I for my part will love you, amuse you and cheer your heart as only a cat can do."

[Winston001]

Ahhh the venerable pussycat. My sympathies to you for the loss of Chewy. I'm a devoted catlover and have two at the moment. My children argue over which cat sleeps on whose beds.

We went through a weird phase a few tears ago. We had over time, two of our dear cats run over - and within a week a member of my wife's family died..... :wacko: When we lost a cat again recently we were quite nervous but happily nothing further happened.

We don't own cats, they chose to share their lives with us and sometimes it is far shorter then we wish. Don't hesitate to get another mate, they are such fun.
