It wasn't only a cat it was a member of the family Slinki. They may leave us with sad hearts but they also leave us with happy memories. 

I'll second that.

Slinki, huge hugs from me.

Sorry to hear about your cat Slinki 

From my personal point of view I don't see why people have pets if they aren't going to treat them like family. 

Hear, hear, Cags!

I'm so sorry, Slinki! You must miss her terribly.

Oh Slinki, so sorry

I've only had small pets ,hammies and budgies.I still cried for them when they died.I've got the two rabbits now as well,bigger animals..gawd knows what I'll be like when they go.I was crying,trying to get "Rio" to eat etc..."Don't you die on me ya bugger!" etc.He's doing ok now,still not 100% back to normal eating,he's back at the PDSA next week for weighing and an assesment.

Good news katty, they can break your heart cant they ?

As I type him and the girl bun Cleo and the bloody budgie Jinks are on the carpet "Sharing" a chunk of broccoli.

Thanks, really appreciate it xx
Katty, glad Rio's doing ok Wondered how he'd got on .PDSA are brilliant

Good to see you here Slinki. 
I`ve been thinking about you today. Hope you`re ok.  

The PDSA are bloody brilliant! RIO had a very savvy bun vet,he knew  all about rabbits etc.He "Tranced" him...that is put the bun on his back in his arms and gently blew on his face/nose  a few times.... I had  no problems with the private vet etc..just the cost,fine if your working etc.A consul for the bun was £29.00 then the treatments costs,first visit was for Rio was £49...second visit a week later was  £29.00.I now get housing benefit etc so  I qualify for PSDA treatment..saying that he's not had any treatments ..just a good checkup..so I gave them 20 quid.
