    Missing since yesterday evening, found dead this morning. Injury to the throat. Prime suspect: Street dogs, except they usually do far more damage.

    Silky. Soft, long-haired, overweight, bossy, interfering, vocal, demanding and intelligent.

    She took up a lot of space, and leaves a big hole. Even my wife is sad: they used to argue a lot!

    Sad. Nick, did you not have 3 cats at one point in time? or 1 cat + 2 kittens

    Thanks guys.

    @Koth Ganesh, of the current batch, I had one tom cat (who was brought to the house by the semi-wild cat that lived in the side passage). He brought a girlfriend home, and then there were five.

    Two of those kittens were dog victims, so we were left with three. Now the mum is dead, and it it is two.

    The way is up along the road
    The air is growing thin
    Too many friends who tried
    Blown off this mountain with the wind

    Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge
    When my time is up I'll see all my friends
    Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge
    If you really mean it, it all comes round again

    ... Although, whether that would work out is moot. Not all of the numerous cats that have passed this way would be at all happy sharing the same ledge!

    Thanks all: the house feels so empty.

    But, I regret to say that I am all too used to this. I miss them all, but death is inevitable, and yes, this too shall pass.

    Ugh. So, so sorry to hear. People don't understand how much a part of the family our cats and dogs can be. I often joke to my wife that I hope I go before our cats. (She doesn't find that funny.)

    I’m so sorry to hear this. We lost our last cat in October. She has left a big hole in our lives.

    Sorry for your loss, @Ringingears.

    We had father and mother and daughter. It's not as if they were best friends, but there was a dynamic between them which is all changed now.

    Anyway, things will settle.

    They become family and it is soooo very hard to say goodbye, especially when it was before their time. I lost one that way as well. It is heartbreaking. Take care ...

    As a former feline guardian, the incident evokes a sequence of negative emotions. May you and your wife have recover the equilibrium of life soon.

    Wife is not even fond of cats. But somehow, this loss has affected her. They used to argue a lot!

    Perhaps it is not so very surprising: she lost a sparring partner. But it's also clearly a difficult time, and any additional loss or hardship can make the whole state of affairs seem a lot worse. That's been my experience.

    Yes indeed.

    I'm waiting up, now, for the man of of the feline family. Normally, I wouldn't be bothered but...

    Well, searched and searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Eventually, though, I heard his small meeow, and there he was.

    Then, no water at all in the taps. Had to hoist up a couple of buckets from the underground sump
