Betty...

[Steve H]

I’m not really one for posting emotive personal threads on BCF, it’s just not what I do here - usually the most you’ll get out of me is a piss taking comment or a list of Ten things that are at best trivial and at worst irrelevant.

I’m not posting this to attain some insignificant w@nky green blobs, I just want a wider audience to know how I feel about the loss of my cat – Yep, that’s right, a bloody cat

Betty

Cheers

I know what its like to lose a cat, sorry man.

RIP Betty. Looks like you had good life with a very caring owner

You just can't beat a cat for companionship. They're always the same, whether you feel on top of the world or like utter crap, they're somewhere about to be your friend.

We lost one of our cats about 7 years ago now, we still have his sister, and I still feel terriby sad when I think of him. The noisiest cat you will ever meet, called Shakespeare, and so much fun. If you did the little sucking noise cats answer to, from one side of the house, if he was inside you can guarantee he'd be there within a minute. He was taken by the road, and his sister is going on 16 now, and how it changed her is remarkable. She used to be so quiet in comparison, shy as anything. Now she's perhaps even noisier than him, in frequency rather than volume perhaps.

Just feel glad that she was taken from you 'naturally', in that you made the choice on her behalf, so she could slip away in comfort. Feel better mate.

RIP Betty

Sixteen years, a good lifetime for a cat and a lifetime of memories for you. Gone but not forgotten, as it should be

Know how you feel, when my cat died I got for my third birthday she was 17/18 nearly and I was gutted about it. Kept seeing her for ages..still really miss the damn thing.

But we got given a cat called mercury who I now call fred/freddy He is cool but not the same as my old cat.

Sorry man

I know how you feel mate it’s a really hard decision but it’s for the best. My cat passed away 2 days before my 22nd birthday and from your write up I can tell that you loved your cats very much and I bet she's grateful for the life she had with you.

RIP Betty

There's a bit of me that feels embarrassed and guilty for feeling so much sorrow - It IS just an animal and in some peoples eyes they're petty close to vermin (especially when they crap in your garden )

To be honest my wife (that'll be 'Len' for all those who got through the random drivel that was my diary entry ) is taking it worse than I am, she was the one that held her as they slipped the needle into her vein and she was the one that Betty's eyes were focused on as she slipped away.

I know from experience that time's a great a healer but thanks very much for the messages of support Guys

Sorry to hear about Betty, but sounds like she had a fantastic life with you.

My cat, which lives with my mum because he's too old to move from Suffolk to the Midlands, must be about 13 or 14 now. He's got some kind of degenerative neurological thing. Has lots of twitches and things these days, and isn't quite right in the head.

I doubt it'll be long before he'll be shuffling off this mortal coil too...

Cats are ace.

sorry to hear it steve.

when our old dog died my mother looked a bit odd for about a year.


i still think it's a bit weird that animals suffer from 'human' ailments.

cats having heart attacks? just seems a bit weird to me.

they have dog food in the meat freezers here in Melbourne. I'm sure enough stoners have bought some by mistake.

i'm gonna sell panadol for dogs. bet it''ll sell.

our old dog was on valium.

never tried it unfortunately.

but anyway, yeah, RIP.
