In The Midst Of Life We Are In Death.

Yesterday my cat was off his food and was meowing pitifully.  

I took him to the vet this morning and she said his bladder was full and the blockage needed to be cleared.

I got a call from them a few minutes ago saying he'd died.

You never know the minute, man or beast.

RIP, Floki.

I'm so sorry to hear this Sandy. Take care.

I am sorry to hear that your cat has died, sandyRoe.

Our companion animals are members of our family.  

It is hard to say goodbye to them, and especially in such a rapid and unexpected way.  

I am sure you have some lovely memories of your cat, and I hope you can find comfort in those.

Beautiful kitty, sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace

Oh, I'm sorry.  Such a shock. One wants to be with them when they die, hard thouigh it is.

Yes, you are right - you never know.  Live life well and to  the minute, tomorrow you may be dead.

It drives me to write as much as possible, having begun too late.

I'm a bit late but only just seen this and I'm so sorry to read you have lost your beautiful Floki.  I hope you are doing OK Sandy and RIP to your little friend.

[sandyRoe]

Thank you all for your kind words.

I'm going tomorrow to Cats Protection to collect an all black 🐈‍⬛ called DJ.

She's described as a house cat so no worries about her getting lost.

So sorry to hear that Floki has passed away, its an awful shock when something unexpected happens but I'm so glad to see you've found a little feline friend, they are the best company, I would be lost without my Ziggi xx

DJ is one lucky cat. 🐱💜💜

[ladybirder]

Have you got DJ yet Sandy?  I hope you have a lovely long life together.

i was going to tell you to get a wee cat Sandy but then I thought it too soon for you but I'm over the moon for you.  When you live on your own and a little animal wanders around the house - it is another heartbeat for you and fantastic company.  Good luck Sandy 

[sandyRoe]

I go this afternoon to see her, then there's a visit from the cats protection people.  If they're happy with the arrangements I might have her here before the weekend.

Lovely news, Sandy. It'll be wonderful having a new energy about the house. I hope you and DJ have many happy times together. 😀

Oh I'm so happy for you sandy...I hope your adoption is successful.  🤞 

Black cats...also known as voids or house panthers...are the best.

[sandyRoe]

I go to collect her on Sunday.

What would be a suitable donation to the charity?
