My poor pissy pussy...

[yungatart]

...passed away last night after being a part of our family for some 16 years.
She was fit and active right till the end, she even caught herself a bird last week!

She turned up on our doorstep as a wee, barely weaned kitten, that someone had dumped. She was nuerotic, psychotic at times, terrified of strangers and even her own shadow. But there was just something about her...

I won't miss her ankle tapping me because I'm 5 minutes late feeding her. I won't miss her yowling. I won't miss the way she pissed on people's bikes/cars/gear. But I will miss her, dreadfully.

Things are just not the same.
RIP Mistress Missy

[unstuck]

Not nice losing such a good mate.

Yes my sympathies too, I understand all too well.

As I write, my 16yr Siamese is pacing around my chair insisting it's tea-time. He's a complete member of our family. He will leave an awful gap in our home one of these days.

I'm sorry to hear that. RIP.

My wee Abu is about 15/16 years old & has developed a bad limp due to arthritis, the metal splints in her hind leg hurt when it rains (car accident) & she drools a lot but she is still out & about & pestering me for food & cuddles.
She has stuck by me through 11 address changes, a marriage, numerous girlfriends, a brief bout of insanity & still loves me even though she has to contend with a bull terrier now too. I feel her time is drawing close too, just hope she is comfortable til the end.

[Okey Dokey]

So sorry to hear about Mistress Missy. I hope you have lots of happy times with her to remember and bring you comfort.

[MSTRS:Me]

Our Missy did not die due to old age, even though she was getting on a bit. She has always been wary of cars, and stayed away from any that were moving. We don't know how, but she failed to avoid just one....
She had many names - Furbag, Stomachbag, Mistress Missy the Mad Moggy. She was quite peculiar at times. She hated moving and would hide somewhere for as much as a week. Her vet would make a housecall, rather than traumatise her with a trip to his surgery. As YT said, she arrived on our doorstep as a 6-8 week old little bundle of fluff, so she chose us as her staff, and she kept us on a short leash.
We will miss her terribly.

Oh I am sooooo glad this thread is not what it could have been...

having said that, I am sorry to hear about your old girl. We still have Amadeus sitting in a little box on our mantle piece until we feel sufficiently ready to scatter his ashes in the back yard. Our poochy sat there for quite a few months before we were ready to finally let him go running free over the estuary on an outgoing tide.

Know where you're coming from too with "I won't miss..." with some of their behaviours and habits, but the whole package will definitely be missed.

Oh, not pissy pussy! Very sad news guys...

[ynot slow]

Fuck,not nice.

[slofox]

Very sad - losing a pet is very hard.

[Pussy]

Sorry for your loss, Janet and John! The furry little buggers leave paw prints on your heart, eh?
I've got a new kitten... Sooty. She is 10 weeks old, and a bloody hardcase. Her hobbies include eating, purring, biting, clawing, killing etc.....

[cbfb]

Sorry to hear that. I could throttle my noisy fat ole ragdoll some days but hell I'd be devestated if anything happened to him (what a softie). Hope you have some fond memories.

Sad to hear your pussy cat has moved on to the great food bowl in the sky.

We were just figuring out the other day that our 3 legged moggy is about 12 years old, and wondering how much longer she's got, possibly not much longer if she keeps crapping on the rug in the kitchen.....
