It's not a question it is just to say thank you to all of you on posting your comments on about the death of my Oscar I am still in shock I am so pleased that he did not suffer and his death was very quick I think if some one had said five years ago you can only have him for five years and he will be taking away from you I still would have had for the five years on a heat beat Thank You all Again

    Bless you Mel!..I`m not surprised you`re still in shock...it`s a terrible thing that has happened and it will take time to feel better!..The fact that you said you`d have done it all again even knowing he was so young says such a lot..he was obviously adored and had a fantastic life and brought so much happiness to you..and you to him!...He`s at rest now and it`s the people who are left behind who left to grieve...it does get easier..you can`t see it at the moment no doubt..but I have some wonderful,funny and just lovely memories of my little cats I have lost over the years!...Hang on in there..don`t be ashamed to cry..only people who don`t love them and see them as important family members are the ones who sometimes cant understand the grief you are going through..I`m right by your side here!..Thinking about you a lot and sending my heartfelt love xxxmillie

      Very sad news Mel.  We, as humans tend to out live our pets unless they are turtles or parrots.  It is never easy.  As a pet owner, our heart breaks with every single loss.  I worked in the pet industry for the better part of my life, not only have I lost many pets but my customers have as well.  Every day is a happier day when one's beloved pet is alive.


      I have a great old cat that adopted us by walking through our front door.  Our glorious feline is now on her last legs.  The girl is grand ... but now exhibiting 'old lady behaviour'.  When my husband say's, "I want you to look at this.", I always reply, "Please don't tell me she is dead."  Our Lilo Maya Maya does not move from her chair these days.  ... It breaks my heart. 


      Take care.


       


      I would normally add a 'fish of the day'... but your remaining feline/s would only be tempted.  I am not exactly sure how large your feline family actually is.

        Fish, have you any idea the age of Lilo Maya Maya ?

        FISH-O

        Not a clue bm. I began feeding her before we bought this house as she was hanging out in the play house which is a miniature replica of our house. Lilo was emaciated and so, I began bringing food around for her. The girl fattened up, then moved in when we did. She has recently dropped half her body weight and her hair is falling like mad. Nothing wrong except old age.

        I'm sure he was a lovely little character, you will have your memories of him for ever. Take care Mel, thinking of you and your little Oscar.

          A pet is a member of the family and as such, the loss is no less of a loss.

                MEL, , so sad for you on the death of Oscar, he will never die whilst you have his memories of him, it is really hard, i still get misty when i think of Sabrina;  Oscar was not just a cat, but a family member.

                      Take care of you Mel. Allow yourself to grieve and do not let anyone tell you, "he was just a cat, you do not need to grieve so long or so hard. "


                      Grieve as you need to. He was one of God's creatures and you loved him and he loved you. It's OK to miss him and OK to cry. Take care of you. xx

                        Every morning I look at my old cat, Peeve. She seems to look pale and I know that sound odd. I'm always afraid she died in her sleep. I'd be heartbroken. She will go in this years, I think. She's old.


                        I think of taking in a rescue cat but I know how dangerous wild cats can be. One almost put me in the hospital.   I was reading the paper on the floor and she attacked my arm with her arms and legs and claws. She was heavy and I went into shock. Maybe rescue cats aren't for me.


                        Mel ... Would you like to try that. I know your heart is heavy and I'm trying to think of a way to make you happy but the thing is ... you just won't be happy now.  Now you grieve. Sorry. So sorry.

                          I think I used the wrong word, Mel. An epipen wouldn't have helped me. It was the power of my cat's anger. It was just like an attack from a wild animal. She was a huge, fat cat. She was unhappy with herself. She would scratch us and just be dang mean. Terrible. Two vets told us to put her down but I couldn't do it. COULD NOT. She attacked me because I was down on the floor going through some important papers. She sensed my focus and she didn't like it. She wanted my attention just for her. I kept thinking she would get thinner and be a better cat but it didn't happen. Eventually, we did put her to sleep. I cried a long long time.
                          You love Oscar. He was a good cat and I'm glad you had a chance to meet him and love him. He was happy and lucky to have you. We learn from our cats. Don't we. Be well, Mel. It will be a lucky cat that finds you, dear lady!
