"The most tragic thing I've ever read (seriously)"

This came through our letter box last night:

"MISSING

- One female cat, white & grey. Blind (has no eyes)

- Suffers from epilepsy and NEEDS her tablets to control it.

- If seen her in the last couple of days or have picked her up, please ring xxx xxx urgently as she is DEARLY missed.

Thank you"


A blind, epileptic cat, missing for more than 2 days without her medication. It's not looking good. I might actually go hunting for her myself. *bursts into tears*

...or maybe just incapable of posting properly...

Yeah, it was wasn't it? Made me spend a few more minutes with my cats last night...

~checks genitalia~

If I didn't know better I'd say I was pre-menstrual...

Some body has probably pointed this out already but I'll point it out now anyway. How can a cat have epilepsy if it has no eyes? A human can't have epilepsy if it has no eyes can't it? I mean I don't know how severe epilepsy can get but from what I know it is triggered by seeing things such as strobes but if you have no eyes then you can't see those kind of things. I'm probably way off the mark though and there are severe cases of epilepsy in which you just go into fits and stuff but that's what I though. Enlighten me people. :D

If I may be sentimental for a moment, that was genuinely touching.
My cat is with me right now.
*prods its lazy hide to check it's still alive*

Another of my cats was run over and my dog left home to live on a farm.

The cat drove a truck up to your bedroom door? :D

Sorry Sagacious - I generally am sorry for your loss but couldn't resist that.

*Dr pepper splurts out of mouth*

I am moved. I feel for your loss. I had a cat go almost the same way, with the exception that there was a truck involved.
