    Another voyager to the realm of eternal catnip...

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    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 ....

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.
