Popular Post IanMcLean68 Posted January 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2019 It is always hard to lose a pet I know. It's my turn today. RIP Merlin. Red Burmese. He made 19 years - a good innings. Stopped breathing at 3am this morning. He is now resting in the garden next to his brother. A super affectionate person cat, he loved everyone. Vocal and intelligent. You will be missed my close friend. ? 5 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_jack Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Ugh...that's tough. My cat too is very vocal and smart. It's strange how some of them grow on you. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandboy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Sorry to hear of this, it’s never easy, I know. Ironically I read this post while at the vet today to send our oldest cat Tigger on to a better, less painful place. The old man’s at peace now. Tonight I toast to Tigger and Merlin. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Islandboy and my condolences to you too. I'll join you in that toast this evening. I'll pick out a special cigar and a single malt. Sad but also good that they are both now at peace. To Tigger & Merlin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99call Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Sorry to hear about your loss of a good friend. When a pet dies, I always find it very comforting to think about the fact that so man animals don't get wonderful life your cat would of had, and although terribly sad, your cat effectively won the lottery in having you as it's owner, and when one thinks about it like that, it tends to sooth any melancholy thoughts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Lost my cat, Torrey, late last year. ? I always told him how lucky he was. Even after he put tooth holes in my cigar box lids. RIP to all the cats who once graced our lives. RIP Merlin.

El Hoze Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I have lost a mother and two of my very best friends, one of which was the best man at my wedding and my best friend since we were in kindergarten. Losing a pet is extremely difficult. Very sorry for your loss. We are lucky to have had them in our lives. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
