    So sorry @zonto. All our thoughts and prayers to you all - Daphne was clearly an awesome cat. All the best

    So sorry to hear about this. They’re so much part of the family and best friends. I still miss my two babies that passed away last December. But it’s good to reflect on all the joy they brought to me.

    Thank you all for your kind words. My wife and I really appreciate it and have read every response multiple times. This thread and forum is a pretty special place.

    Sorry also to hear that some of you have also had to say goodbye to your pets, especially @RatSalad and @Bobcat (edit: and @Superexchanger) recently. I hope you are finding comfort in your memories of them coupled with the passage of time. @RatSalad, I thought it was interesting you said you still hear your cat meow sometimes. I've noticed that happening a couple times over the past few days.

    I wanted to share another experience just because I'm so impressed with the company. Daphne had a history of urinary tract infections, so we had her on mostly a prescription food diet for the last year or two. We had a monthly recurring autoship from chewy.com. My wife called last week to cancel our pending autoship for December, and the customer service rep was very sweet. This morning Chewy had arranged for a florist to deliver a vase of flowers to our apartment, along with a card from the Chewy customer service rep expressing her condolences. We've also received handwritten Christmas cards from them. I cannot recommend this company enough! Please consider shopping there if you can. I am not affiliated in any way.

    Gutted reading this, @zonto. Having been through a shockingly similar set of events recently, I know this is rough and extend my sympathies. Hang in there, and spend some time with loved ones if you can.

    That was real nice of chewy, I'll let my GF know. Our local vet was real sweet and totally pro about the whole situation. I was very pleased with how they handled it. We got a paw print of Lois in clay or something similar from them to remember her by. Her whole decline started with a UTI also.

    Lois was very vocal cat and had her own sounds more than any other cat I've noticed. We have another cat also named Caramel and she's actually mimicking Lois sounds and meows since she's been gone. Really strange since they were together all of Caramels life and she never did this before. I swear though I can hear Lois sometimes when Mellie is sleeping right next to me, it's kind of spooky. Caramel is the black kitty.

    My condolences to you @zonto as well. You gave her a great life. There are no words that adequately describe the feeling of loss when such a great transition occurs.

    Thank you @zonto for sharing your story. Many here have lost their beloved tiny family members and deep down inside I know the day will come when I'll have to say goodbye to my furry ones.
    This might be silly in a way, I'm sometimes petting my cats as if it would be for the last time just to savour the present moment I have with them, having pets made me realise there's a lot more to animals than many think. There's no denying the two way emotional connection.

    Now if you'll excuse me I'll go punch a wall to get my manliness back.

    Bjørn_2682.JPG We recently added one more member to our small family, Bjørn, a 14 weeks old adorable kitten, a rare cinnamon colored British Shorthair, we were told there is only five of that color in Denmark.

    So cute! Has a very serious look on it's face in that picture. Something along the lines of "Oh, so you're my new human. I demand petting, now."

    This is Mabel. She’s a four year-old shepherd mix. We got her from the pound a couple years ago, and she was house trained and knew how to sit and shake already. She’s very sweet and calm. Whoever had her before must’ve been sad to give her up, but we’re glad to have her.

    In that second picture, my wife and I bought her a bed of her own and made her move to it one night. We gave her a blanket and she sat like that with her big puppy eyes for 15 minutes.

    I’ve always thought she had a little more of a refugee look, but I’d buy “superhero”

    Blame my liking those horribly gritty superhero flicks for when I wanna turn my brain off and just enjoy people beating the crap outta each other, haha. The tone of that pic was very much in line with that.

    To keep things more on-topic, bothered one of the cats for a bit the other day, he just stared at me:

    It was an innocent little song in my childhood. Now, I gather it is considered racist crap, but hey...
