RIP Catherine

Hi All,

I thought I would share some photos of an old friend of mine who passed 
away in her sleep a couple of weeks ago, her name was Catherine and she'd 
been in our shelter at Cats Protection (www.cats.org.uk) for a few months, 
having come in as a rather bedraggled stray.

She had hyperthyroidism and successfully survived surgery to remove it a 
couple of months ago, but I guess it was her time this time.

I loved her so much, purrs for you, my sweetheart...

So sorry for the lost.  I guess if you could say there was a bright
side to it that it would be that she had a home for her last days and
did not go someplace outside by herself.  She lived in relative
comfort for the last few days of her life.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Bless you for making her last few months more 
comfortable.

Sorry, Ivor.  So hard to lose any of them, but it's especially sad when 
they have endured a surgery and it turned out not to have helped. They 
do know when they are loved, though, and Catherine was fortunate to have 
been among the loved.  Lovely lady, too.  Thanks for posting the photos.

Thanks to everyone that expressed their sympathy at the loss of my lovely 
Catherine, it is very much appreciated.

We have lots of other old ones at the shelter, Billie (14+), Malcolm (16), 
Peach (19) and Priscilla (at least 16..!) to name just a few, keep them in 
your thoughts over the holiday period :-)

At least they have a warm place for their old bones and love a-plenty
in their lives

Happy Xmas to all of them!

Thanks :-)

Some sad news and some good news, Priscilla died a couple of days ago, 
again while at the vet, there was nothing that could be done, it was her 
time. However, 19yr old Peach went home yesterday, one of our volunteers 
took him (yes, he's a fella, strange name but he doesn't care :-) )
