[Berni]

Are you prepared, m? Have you ever had anyone or anything important to you die before?

I'm obviously not counting grandparents.

[Pat Vegas]

[Monty91]

and in actual fact, FIV cats on average live longer than non-FIV cats, since they are kept indoors and therefore less liable to pick up other illnesses, get maimed by other animals or get run over.

FIV weakens the immune system but since they are effectively incubated in the home their immune system is unlikely to be compromised.

[Berni]

My old cat died at 10 of the cancer, God rest his hairy soul. :-(

Also, it could be older than you think.

Your cat is doomed. Prepare thyself.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The passing of a cat is one of life's most appalling events.

I, for one, wish Monty strength and fortitude for when the day comes, and would remind him that we will meet our loved ones again at the rainbow bridge.

[Classic Jorge]

The rainbow bridge leads to Asgard, not f**king feline/canine heaven

[Berni]

the downhill slope. I worry what the shock will do to him if he doesn't get a grip on things now.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

[Monty91]

That'll do me. He's had a f**king great life since fate led him to my door.

They found him in London Bridge, you know. Hence his name.

[Berni]

I feel sorry for him. It's not right for a cat not to go outside.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm not quite right, am I?

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

:hehe:

[Monty91]

No, it's Tucker.

He f**king loves being indoors. He has his rural retreat in our living room, overlooking a huge communal garden where he sits on the window ledge watching the robins with a wistful look in his eye. Then he has his urban retreat in our bedroom, where he looks out onto the A1 :-|

[Classic Jorge]

Anyway, my cat is on its last legs now, the poor thing sleeps about 23 hours a day and is always cold to the touch.

It's only a matter of time

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Give him some extra cuddles from me.

Now I'm weeping openly. :-(

[Classic Jorge]

Me and the lady got him at the very dawn of our relationship, the fact he's on his last legs will be a horrible metaphor for the 16 years we've been together.

[Monty91]

or something.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I can't bear to think about it. Just can't bear it.

f**k me, I cried when I had to despatch a chicken.

Animals are better than people, r. That's the truth.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I know you're not married. It's by way of a josh to lighten the mood, see?

Anyway, he could still have 5 years left in him, easy. I'm sure he'll be fine.

[ITSUPFORGRABSNOW]

Tooo many times aleady

[Monty91]

I can send mine over for some light bumming, if you think it may help.

[Berni]

Am I a psychopath? http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/rubchin.gif http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The thought of poor jorge and monty losing their precious kitties, and the poor kitties themselves with their bif trusting eyes and fluffy ears...

I HATE GOD! WHY MUST HE TAKE OUR KITTIES?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

It's sad really, he doesn't even put up a fight, he just sits there looking resigned to it. Like a furry little prison bitch

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Bury them in the garden?

f**k them in the bin?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Then we placed a small memorial plaque there, so that wean visit from time to time.

[Berni]

threatening to have it autopsied to prove the vet had malpractised it to death.

Then he buried it and a fox dug it up and ate its head.

[Monty91]

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You tipped her into the wheely bin didn't you.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Yes, Chui was buried in her field.

[Classic Jorge]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Please tell me you had +1 freezer.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

But you regularly called Buster a ******* and worse.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Why would I do such a thing to a member of mine?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Berni]

Tucker.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

We had a robust relationship.

[Classic Jorge]

Contrary to the popular financial idiom, they don't bounce.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's a paddock, really.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Cats are not family, they are pets.

[Berni]

[Monty91]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

First cremated and poured into a field, then buried in a field, now a f**king paddock.

By 17:00 hours we will have settled on the wheely bin.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

This discriminatory attitude towards animals is where Ireland is lagging behind the rest of civilisation sw. It's holding you back.

[redgunamo]

[redgunamo]

:hide:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Simply saying they are not family.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

He is clearly overwrought.

His cat has the bad aids, you see?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Make space for the crispy pancakes by moving the dead cat type thing.

[Berni]

Don't get him started on dolphins and joie de vivre. :-(

[Berni]

It made making a gin and tonic rather poignant, I must say.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They have a soul, you know. The prophet Isaiah confirmed this.

[redgunamo]

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

of course we bloody do.

Anyway, man's relationship with pets is essentially exploitative, of course. We breed them, neuter them and imprison them solely so that we can make ourselves feel good.

It's slavery, basically.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Twaddle.

[Berni]

[redgunamo]

Cats are different though, of course. You're quite right about them, in the main.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's a symbiotic relationship.
