Another voyager to the realm of eternal catnip...

Sigh- our 14 year old kitty, Smudgie, passed away last night. She had been getting weaker and thinner for some time. We helped her get through a recent infection with antibiotics, and she bounced back for a few weeks, but turned a sad corner over the last few days, had troubling moving and stopped eating.

It's doubly sad because my daughter's cat Ya Ya disappeared inexplicably about 3 weeks ago. (The animals had a pet door and came and went as they pleased). We don't know whether she was taken or something happened to her- she just didn't come home and the neighbors didn't see her either.

We're now a "one pet child" family. I wonder if my son's dog misses the kitties? Especially Ya Ya, a very social Siamese who seemed to enjoy the dog's company ....

Oh, I'm so sorry. Hugs to you and your family.

I am so sorry to read this. I had hoped for Smudgie to rally and for Ya Ya to come home. Sending you lots of hugs.

I'm so sorry -- that is way too much heartache. Hugs and peace to you.

I'm so sorry. ((Hugs))

gosh, sorry to hear about your furbabies. Nothing worse than a cat disappearing; you never know what happened to them.
I am sorry for your loss.

Thank you all- it was especially hard to let my daughter know - Smudgie was her first pet, and Ya Ya was the cat she got recently, but we inherited when she went to England.

I'm so sorry to hear about your kitties, AZ. I sure hope Ya Ya comes home soon.

So sorry to hear about your kitties. I think it's worse when one disappears, the not knowing is hard.:(

I am so sorry for the loss of your furbabies....

So sorry about your kitties. Losing 2 so soon together must be hard...

I'm sure your dog does miss the cats; mine moped around for a few days back when his best cat friend died. Started napping on her old blanket, too.

Very sorry about your loss. It is so hard to lose our little kitties
