The Cat Thread

RIP Socky. I'll miss you mate!
Don't know why you died suddenly, maybe it was your dodgy ticker that the vet seemed to think you had. I'm just glad you were in the garden when it happened otherwise I would have had to roam the streets, parks and graveyards looking for you and may have been left forever wondering.
I hope you had a nice 4 years with us and were as happy as you made us feel when we'd hear you meowing from the neighbour's garage roof.
You had your issues, you were very nervous at first. It must have been hard going to that family that took you back after a week because you wouldn't come out from behind the sofa, but I knew you'd be a goodun the moment you put your paw on me from inside the cage at Celia's rescue home.
Anyway, enjoy messing about with all those other cats up in the sky. You don't need to worry anymore.

Maybe I am just really tired after a very long day, but I am in tears reading this... Sorry to hear this mate.

A friend's cat died in his garden, he thought the cat was just sunbathing and having a nap. I think it was a kind of blessing that the cat didn't die all alone, somewhere horrible, just like Socky, they both went in an environment that they much enjoyed and had plenty of happy memories.

Amazing how these little hairy things could go so in deep in our hearts...

Hope you are not too sad, mate.
