Tell me about it...

Been there, done that.

Had a Siamese cat a long time ago. If you know cats, then you know Siamese cats are usually one-person cats. Well, I belonged to him. No matter what I was doing, he had to be on me...supper, TV, bed, computer. Washed me all the time.

He got old and sick. I'll never forget giving up on getting him well and let him out in the yard to eat some grass, put him in the car and took him to the vet to be killed (for some reason, I prefer to call it what it is). They saw me at the front door, unable to go in and tears in my eyes. The doctor motioned for me to go around to the back. I'll never forget his eyes shutting slowly as he looked at me.

Took me about 5 years before I ever got another cat.

So, yes, some people DO know what you mean. You have my sympathy.

My sympathies to you. I think many of us can relate to the loss of a beloved pet.

my deepest sympathies Atrocities. I have a cat myself, she is already 9 years old and she've been with me since i remember myself - mid 7. I dont want to think of the future. My deepest sympathies. Luckily i haven't felt the loss myself.

Thanks guys. I have lost pets before, but loosing this Cat was tough. He grew up with my cat, and together they were the dynamic deuo.

Alvan used to sneak into my nephews room and lick their faces at night. I would be on the PC and one of them would open my door and deposite him in my room with a tired and barely ledgable comment "You watch Alvan!" This from a child that would not leave the poor cat alone at all during the day. LOL, that cat was one cool little fella. He would climb up on my monitor and watch me play Tribes for hours.

My cat, Giligan is cool, but likes to be left alone. Alvan (Gizzmo) was very playful and loving. Especially at night after the boys went to bed.

Pay back time. At least I have pictures of him. That makes it easier.

For those of you who have lost a pet, I share your pain.
