Zimbra Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 A little heartwarming story for Friday. This is Allan: He got adopted from us 8 years ago, and got surrendered back to us last week because his person went to the hospital and is likely not coming home. He's been, understandably, freaked out and has been hiding the entire time he's been with us. This happens a lot with older cats who get surrendered and it sucks because it's hard to adopt out a cat who won't come out of hiding, so they spend even more time in a stressful situation. But earlier this week a 71 year old lady who just lost her beloved cat and wasn't sure she wanted a new one saw his story on facebook and it broke her heart so today he goes to a loving home with someone willing to give him all the time he needs to get comfortable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom decided a couple months ago she was tired of being pet-free and wanted a older cat. She got two about 8 years old. They were apparently owned by a family whose children constantly chased the cats and had them permanently terrified and hiding. My mom got them and has worked with them. They've gone from being invisible when she's awake to tearing around the house, playing, and climbing on her counters. It's been glorious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's still in a fair bit of pain but we're relieved to have her home so the cats and I can take care of her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I made the decision to put down my boy next Monday. Time to face that he won't get better, and I don't want him to waste away more than he already has. But today I had to take my car in for a recall. The person told me it would take 3 hours and asked me if I wanted to wait, and I realized my brain is just utterly fried for decision-making right now. And I'm waiting on the car when I could spend that time with my stinky, fuzzy boy. I'll try to be on-topic with some photos of him once I'm no longer feeling like crawling in the incinerator with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 My sweet boy, Rocky, aka Rocketman, aka Big Fuzz, better known to everyone on Earth by his sobriquet, "Mister Jerkface", crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. I couldn't have asked for a better boy. He started out as a real Carolina Reaper (which is fitting, since he was from South Carolina) of a kitty, and I had to put up with 2.5 months of his epic spiciness. As often as not, I had to pick him up with an oven mitt to handle him at all. And I thought, earnestly and angrily at the time, about tossing him back outside, because it was so frustrating to try to socialize him and have him just turtle up and avoid me and everyone else who came into contact with him. But, one day, I figured out the cheat code and gave him belly rubs. By the next day, his demeanor went from Nuclear-Spicy to Sweet Bell Pepper: "Wait, you'll give me belly rubs whenever I want them? Forever? YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND DO THIS PLEASE." Doofus. He walked out of the room, tail in the air, imperious and acting like he'd always been a good boy. He was a good boy, though. I almost lost him to a UTI in 2016 (don't feed your cats Meow Mix ever, it's worse than trash), but he bounced back from that and we had 7 more years of his shoe molesting, foot fetishizing, and wanting to be fed an hour earlier than he knew he would get it. I don't know when I'll stop rolling over in bed and reaching out for him with a foot to give him a little rub, since I spent so long expecting him to be there. Maybe never. Here he is a few years ago, being a seat thief. He was good at that, too. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I don't venture into this folder often, so though I'm late to the 'party' I want to make sure I offer my belated condolences to both you guys @The Naturaland @Contentious C I am unfortunately here for the same reason - my IRL people are probably tired of hearing about it already, but I had to put my boy down last night. Mouth cancer that spread to the eye. Most cats only make it 10 days to two weeks after diagnosis, and this badass little fucker gave us over two months. He was gonna be 10 on 8/1 - had a little 'party' the night before last, and gave him almost every treat and can of tuna in the house. Rest in Power, Lucky Boy! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not even 10. That's so unfair. You couldn't even call him an old man properly! That's a face that needed some chin rubs, right there, handsome guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the condolences and I'm here to offer my own. Sorry for your loss, mate. We lost Rayven to cancer, a really rare one. Rayven was diagnosed in May 2021, she somehow made her sixth birthday in August 2021 and we lost her at the start of September 2021. Out of all the animals we've had, I love them all but she was my favourite by far. Love and miss the Rayven so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Since this is 'That Pet Photos thread' and not the 'Depress The Shit Out of Everyone thread' I thought I'd lighten the mood a bit: this is Lucky's partner-in-crime, Keith. They had a very Owens/Zayn-esque relationship, fighting mainly about food (you can tell from the pic who won those rounds) or whoever felt that my girlfriend was, in fact, their girlfriend that day (they both love her to pieces) but they called a truce in the end - very bittersweet! Fun fact: Keith was originally named Sprinkles by my best friend's four year old nieces. Less fun fact: I need to vacuum these f'n floors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Yeah, he's moved past 'sprinkles' to 'entire dark chocolate bars protruding from the ice cream cone'. That's a heckin' chonk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) We fostered a dog on Tuesday and the fucker attacked Offy today. Thankfully Offy is ok. My Dad and Sister have puncture wounds to their hands. I couldn't get into the room to help. Could have been so much worse. Bad as is. The dog's been taken away and put down. Can't have it be a danger to anybody else. When I saw the size and breed of, I raised an eyebrow, so did my Dad. It's the first time we've ever had a biting dog. We've been lucky with Tess, Rayven, Ralfie and Offy. Trying to get today out of my mind but easier said than done. Please keep to here.
