"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*

When I was a teenager my cat used to be let in every morning by my mother and then come up to my room, clawing the carpet until I finally relented and let it in. Then it would claw me until I let it under my duvet. This would take place very morning (at 6am) without fail.

Then I went to Uni and the cat never bothered to come into the house that much and never bothered anyone else. However when I’d come home at Christmas the shenanigans would start all over again.

Unfortunately when my cat reached about 13 years old (approx) it became very frail and it was sad to see her loose its appetite and spend all of her time lying near the fire. The cat was old and was going to die of natural causes, so there was little we could do for her. Her last two days were spent entirely by the fire, she did not eat, move, purr or respond to any stimulus.

The next morning I awoke to the sound of clawing outside my door and when I opened the door I found my cat lying there, dying. She had come up one last time, out of instinct probably, as animals usually seek haven when they know they are dying, but in some way I know that she came to “say goodbye”.

I’m not a sentimental person but watching my cat take its last breathe was very moving and I’ve never seen a living creature that I cared for, die. I cried for ages.

But also rather amusing, IMHO.

I think the owner should (of) at least have the decency to let the cat die as soon as it developed it's illnesses. The poor mog has probably run away to die alone or something.

I say Pet-Euthanasia is right.

awww. Melts the heart-strings. Or something...

Thats quite nasty.

"Answers to the name of 'Lucky'. "

:-D

Poor little thing.

Its probably flush to the tarmac of the nearest road by now.

That is tragic.
Our cat went missing once. We eventually found it lodged halfway up a tree, trembling like, well, a scoulded cat. It's tail had been badly bitten, probably by an evil fox.
