On Saturday, I came back from my latest driving lesson to be told that our cat, Pebbles, was dying. She was 22 years old, so she had a good innings, as they say. We had to take her to the vet, but he said everything was shutting down and she would be in pain, and we had to have her put down. So, we've only got one cat left now, a black Burmese psycho called Mr Pudding. He's been moping about ever since and I think he's lonely. My partner has been wondering whether to buy a kitten, but I'm not sure if Pudding would be that happy.
Very sad...

That would be a no no on the kitty. The older cat would not like it, ask any cat rescue / PDSA / Vet / RSPCA inspector and they will advise you on such matters.

That's sad news. 22 years is a very good innings for a cat though. I hope she gave you a lot of pleasure.

I'm sorry to hear your news. We lost our dear old ginger tom Casper a few months back and we miss him so much.
We have just acquired two little kittens, Maggie and Masie, who are great fun but very naughty. Our old tom Charlie hissed a bit at first but now he just ignores them. He knows where to go for peace and quiet and still gets a hug and fuss on any lap available because the kittens are definitely not at the lap stage yet. They're too busy zooming around!

Sorry to hear of your sad news drterror. I had two cats Sam and Martha .Sam was the oldest and I had her on her own for quite a few years before Martha came along. At first Sam wasn't too keen but they ended up best of friends and snuggled up together all the time to sleep. When Martha was about a year I got my dog Oliver as an eight week old pup and everyone was fine . Then Sam who had a brain tumour died and Martha turned all her attention to the dog. They have been inseperable for almost 10 years now even to sleeping in the same basket and when I walk Ollie I come back to find Martha sitting at the front door waiting. They both have their hiding places when they must be feeling they want some time alone.

That's a lovely story Lou.

My cat is down to one eye but it hasn't really affected him too much.

I know someone with a three legged dog.

Thanks for all your sympathy, it is appreciated. Our remaining cat, Mr Pudding, won't come downstairs anymore. He used to come down to have a sneak about, but now he won't come further than the bottom stair, and that's only when he knows a dish of food is on the way!
