OT Cat about to be down - what do I tell eldest?
Lady Nina
I don't think my 18 year old cat is going to be coming back from the
vets today. He didn't eat at all yesterday and barely the day before,
he's stick thin and very weak.
He was one of a litter from Edison, the first cat I had after leaving
home. She had 4 kittens, born 3 weeks before my son in 1990. We kept
two of them this one, a tabby with a clear M marking on his head so we
called him Monty, which left his sister as Python, though she got
called Boggle as she had sticky out eyes.
She got run over in 1994, I remember going to tell eldest and him
saying 'that makes me very sad' before bursting into tears.
So, with the wonders of modern technology how do I tell him? His
sister has been told not to put anything on facebook, an email seems
harsh, I don't think I can talk on the phone without crying - actually
I know because I've just told ex husband.
Leaving it until he comes back seems wrong.
I suppose in fine UKRM tradition i could tell him it's his fault as
the cat pined away - but that's the other remaining cat, the siamese
17 in December and has barely left his bed since he left.
This being catless looks like it is going to happen sooner than I
thought :(

The young don't see email as harsh, I reckon that'd be fine.
Or you could just text him now, saying the cat is off to the vets and
it's not looking good... then he'll get the message when he wakes at
the crack of noon.

Could you let Ant know? I doubt Matt will give a flying fuck but Ant
was always fond of Monty.

No need for that, a quick visit to the cat home should provide suitable
entertainment for another 15 years.

All may not be lost, I took our 16 year old to the vet 3 weeks ago
under similar conditions. After taking blood tests etc they gave him
a tonic injection and he has perked up and looks like he will be
good for a while more.
18 is a bloody good innings for a cat though, so our thoughs are
with you.

Done, he was awake and off to a lecture. He's being his usual stoic
self.

The big fat ginger one still pops in occasionally, he lives over the
fence with Dorothy. He must be over 10 years old now.

Who's cat? Sir is under the miapprehension he owns said cat, that is
not the case, said cat owns him on a contract basis, and left due to
breach of contract.

In these days of instant communications it's better to get it over with
rather than wait for the right moment. This is not necessarily better
but at least you don't end up with "I can't believe you didn't tell me"
at a later point.
All the best wishes anyway: 18 years is a fine old age for a cat.

One of my exes (who shall remain nameless, lest she start sending
people uppity emails again) couldn't walk past a cat without stopping
and doing that "puss, puss, here puss <kissy kissy sound>" schtick. It
was stupendously irritating.

I like both cats and dogs, but imbuing them with human responses has
always struck me as a bit odd.

I know some very clever people who own cats. And I also can see there
are some utter morons who do the same, so I don't think it's a good
indicator.
Mind you, the "girl owning more than 2 cats is off her rocker" thing has
be borne out to me several times.

Your experience?
In all seriousness, I do *not* think our cat is in any way imbued with
human like characteristics [1]. He's definitely stupid. But we don't
'own' him in any way. I could force him to stay, in the same way I could
force my wife to stay in the house if I chose to[2] but I don't own her,
either.
AFAIAC I satisfy the cat's basic requirements[3]. Why *wouldn't* he
bugger off somewhere else if that ceased to be the case?
[1] Apart from something that seems to equate to selfishness.
[2] Not legally, I grant.
[3] Food, warmth, shelter, water etc.

Doesn't matter.
We're all human. Crying is natural. I think if you did anything else but
tell him over the phone and get emotional whilst doing it, he'd think you
were even wierder than he probably does already.

Commiserations.
But never forget, kittens are fun :)

Useful if you run out of loo roll too.

Works for me. Amuses the gullible, too. No harm in it.

C'mon - you're hardly entirely innocent in this regard, are you?

Of course she didn't - she was a woman, remember? She looked and
acted moderately sane, for a short while. I might also allow that I
could have been been somewhat distracted by her good looks, too :-)

Kidneys were shot, he's gone. I didn't want his ashes back - I know a
couple of people here keep pets' ashes but what would they do other
than sit on a shelf?

Enjoy him while he's around.

He had an excellent life. I shall miss the stupid moggy. Not a lot on
brain but more empathy than certain posters who obviously missed the
'feel free to fuck off' caveat.

I'm not a great fan of domestic cats, though I'm happy for other people
to have them as long as they don't let them into my garden. And when I
visit the cat doesn't stand on my lap with its arse in my face.
I'm a much bigger fan of big cats, Snowleopards and the like, though I
think it rather scary to have one as a pet

Hang on ... let me get this straight ... *you* are having a pop at
others for a lack of empathy?! Ye gods.
In any case, Ogden's just Ogden ... everyone suffers equally.
Including Ogden, thinking about it.

Temper, temper.
Just think how much more difficult your day would have been if you had a
proper job, rather than that poorly-paid McSkive you've got going now.
You should be a lot less stressed than you are. You might want to
consider some meds at some stage. They won't improve your personality,
but they might tone you down to the point the rest of the world doesn't
give you the screaming abdabs.

Poor, bitter, ranting little des. It's all turning out so shit for you.
Here's a newsflash - you deserve it. You keep talking about "karma" for
others, but your life is living proof that sometimes, just sometimes,
ignorant fucktards like you do get what they deserve :)
No-one with any sense is interested in your lies either. Spout away,
you sorry, ignorant, trying-so-hard-to-be-smart-and-failing-so-abjectly,
bitter little turd of a man - no-one but you cares.
