I don't like cats, but I've got two of them. If they were big enough they would eat me. they are too lazy to walk around the house to the cat flap and wait hours by the front door for me to let them in.
Aphrodite had a tumour in her eye. Now my wife and kids were upset. But everybody said "It has to be put down." Except the vet. Who suggested we operate and remove the eye.
Everybody said "you don't like cats and it's too expensive. Have her put to sleep." The bastards.
Although I do not like my cats, they are members of my family and I paid a bloody fortune for the surgery.
Aphrodite is now right as rain, still tormenting littler creatures and getting on my nerves. And I am happy knowing that she is well and enjoying her life.
When these cats die of natural causes I am not getting anymore... but my wife has other plans. Blast. funny how I'm the one who wanted to pay the cash to keep her well while everybody else thought the cost was too high and they're the ones who think she's cute and lovely and petty etc.
Honestly, having a cat is what I miss most about a stable lifestyle where I don't move every three months. The cats are my favorate part about going home.
My cat, Snowbie, was with me for sixteen years & travelled with me for the last couple of years of her life. She was, frankly, more like a dog. She always had a dog around as a companion, and would respond (albeit at her leisure), to most requests one might make of a dog. She loved hiking in the woods with me, but again, in her own feline way. Where Sadie, the dog, would stay right at my heel, Snowbie would wander, always keeping us within earshot. If I became worried about her, I would call and she would "meow" back at me, sometime from a perch high in the trees, or from the underbrush were she had chased a mouse or vole.
Martin, Sorry about your cat. I personally hate cats, but I don't wish them dead. I just try to avoid them. When a pet dies, it's always sad. No matter what kind of pet it was. So, I'm sorry for your loss.
Anyway, here's more information on Rainbow's Bridge:
Create a Pet Memorial, a Monday Candle Ceremony Tribute, Post a story of your petloss, Visit the Petloss Grief Suport Center, send an E-Sympathy Pet card or purchase a memorial pet product.
Someone made a virtual memorial for "departed fur babies"
Jim,
That rainbow bridge site is too much.
I mean, not to belittle anyone's pet's loss ... in fact, I thought the site was a good idea, till I saw the credits at the bottom:
" This site was inspired by and is dedicated to FiFi "
That just killed me. (I also find it a bit ironic the woman's from "FISHKILL" New York.)

P.S. Scot, does your girfriend's pussy get irritating, itchy bumps from scratching its fleas? Har har har!
P.P.S. Totally unrelatedly, good Christian advice from http://www.bettybowers.com (she's more Christian than *YOU* are)
