Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 I'm so sorry for you Chris. I now how sad it is to lose an animal, especially a cat. They become great friends and all have their adorable individual personalities - likes and dislikes, behaviourial patterns. They are a huge loss when they go. But Angie is right, the best thing to do is to get another cat, and right now all the animal shelters are full to capacity. Our local RSPCA shelter in North Devon was on the news this week because they have so many cats in their shelter and they can't take any more in. Well worth a visit if you're up to it.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Chris - sorry to hear about your cat. I know you will miss her.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 I had 2 then, when someone took my dog while over the park with my son, I went looking in rescue centres and ended up with 2 kitten brothers My oldest neutered male cat took them under his wing and on investigating a redness on his belly realised he'd been suckling them There's devotion for you . They all sleep on my bed or elsewhere in the bed room at night . I am fostering a cat for animal accident so thats 5 at the moment but this one stays downstairs usually ( Never got the dog back !!!!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 While you are busy grieving other cats are being put down because the rescue centres are overloaded . so people need to stop thinking of themselves and get out and get another cat or two . I'm thinking of the cat Grief is a luxury which won't help the cat that has been loved but now gone nor will it help those hoping for a home before their life ends prematurely because someone is wallowing in grief. How long is the grief going to last 1 year 5years ? The new cat will actually help the process It won't replace the loved cat but it will help to accept that life goes on Memories will still remain and new memories created Angie - " Gore Von Fantom " <fantomanuk Wednesday, December 19, 2001 10:42 PM Re: sadness > it's very well meaning i'm sure when everybody > suggests that you get a new cat,but at the same time,i > think a little tactless.little souls like whoopi are > individual not commodity and you must take time to > grieve for her.i lost my little boy,Mo,only a year > ago,he was only 7 and was struck down with illness.i > was devastated,and the thought of trying to replace > him immediately would just not have been right > > you have my heart felt condolences > > GORE VON FANTOM --- " Chris X, The Whole F'n Show!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 In message <015301c1899e$f40e71f0$6b00a8c0@aries>, Angie Wright <angiewright writes >While you are busy grieving other cats are being put down because the rescue >centres are overloaded . The new cat will actually help >the process It won't replace the loved cat but it will help to accept that >life goes on Memories will still remain and new memories created i agree with angie here, though i wouldn't accuse the grieving human companion of wallowing. my mother [90 next birthday] always looked for a new needy case the moment one of her cats died [she found it easier than waiting a few weeks or months]. there were usually always two cats, so it was the obvious thing to do so that the remaining one would have a companion [cats grieve too, but this doesn't mean they want to be deprived of companions of their own species while they do so] but on the last occasion she didn't because the remaining cat was 20 and didn't take well to a newcomer. as a result, when the last cat succumbed to kidney failure earlier this year aged 21 mother was more than usually bereft and bereaved. by the next day a sweet middle-aged tortie was all moved in - just in the nick of time as her people were going abroad that very day and desperate not to have to put her in a shelter. this doesn't mean mother did not mourn the old cat - she did, and still does - but she took what i believe was a brave decision and it has worked well. the decision was, of course, taken in consultation with me in case the cat outlives mother - though one never knows... i remember being refused a cat for her many years ago on the ground that it was irreponsible to home an animal with an old lady of nearly seventy. fortunately not everyone was so short sighted and an ill treated young cat got eighteen happy years with her before pegging out before she did! so if you can face it, do it - and preferably get two, they do enjoy the company of their own kind as well as ours. all best, vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 When one of my dogs died of cancer last February, I grieved. I love those dogs like children. But when I heard about a puppy who was going to get drowned, I snapped her up. I adore the new pup - she's 8 1/2 months old now and full of mischief - but I still grieve for my alpha dog who died. Little Maggie will never replace her, but I love the new puppy too. I don't think my first dog would mind me getting another dog. In fact, she would have absolutely loved the pup.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Tho I'm not ready to have another dog yet, don't think I could anyway as my situation at work has changed. Since I work full time I used to take my dog in with me but I've got new bosses and am certain they wouldn't allow it - I was the only one ever allowed to do so. Last time I had a cat in my house (local cat just having a look round) it jumped on to the fridge/freezer - if it went from there to a shelf or anywhere else a lot of stuff would have gone flying; there are very few clear surfaces in my flat. One day will get round to having rodents again, I do love a rodent! (have had spiny mice and gerbils), and I know there are rodent rescue places around. One day, once I've made the space. Am in the process of sorting, de-cluttering & chucking but it's a slow process. Specially when I get distracted by emails!
