Goodbye Kahn

[Lou Girardin]

I've done the same thing. I still feel guilty.
We're close to losing our old girl too. She's 17 and still hanging on, but it's a losing struggle.

condolences on your beloved cat Riff .. its always hard when the time comes


Beemer as for magpies .. we had one as kids .. for 5 yrs .. fantastic birds but man they make better guard dogs than the dogs do .. but real good fun .. enjoy ..

Been there, done that. Lots of guilt.

Was he starting to lose his hearing?

Maybe he just committed feline hari-kari over the fact that his mistress had spent fourteen years calling him 'Kahn' when she really meant 'Khan'...

[MyGSXF:Me]

My thoughts are with you RR.. Salty was my cat soulmate when I was a child. He gave me total unconditional love. He slept under the covers with me at night.. with his head on the pillow & his paw across my neck. I still miss him now. Kahn will walk with you.. always..

Cats can do some silly things when they get a bit old.....I had an 18 year old cat that would just sit outside in the pouring rain,he loved playing in the rain as a kitten,but when he got old he kept putting his life at risk...silly old fool.I once had 2 kittens from the same litter run over in my drive only days apart,no ones fault...taking themselves out of the gene pool I hope.

He's gone....left his body there for you to dispose of.But I have three brand new kittens this week.....Khan....I shall have a look,maybe one of my kittens is a Khan.

RIP Kahn, enjoy cat-heaven and make lots of new moggy-mates up there.

Thanks everyone. Kahn led a very full and exciting life and I have so many stories about him. He'd used up all of his 9 lives in his first year, so I was always amazed at still having him around with each year that passed. This winter I thought he would go as for a while there he lost condition and was quite lethargic. Then I changed his diet and he was like a young fella all over again.

Anyway I've had a day of bawling my eyes out, so now it's time to move on. I can feel his presence and that helps.

Sorry about your loss RR. I once had a cat called Mo , who was also hit by a car, so I know about your loss.
