I'm so sorry about Tigger's passing! My heart goes out to you. I recently lost a very special cat as well, who also was just 8 years old. If you feel a need to talk to someone, you can PM me anytime. Rest in peace, sweet Tigger!

Oh, and my cousin's name is Lincoln, which I've always thought was awful. I won't give his last name here, but it's not a pleasant sounding name -- he sounds really stodgy. And he's a really upbeat, funny kid...his name doesn't suit him at all. Most of us call him "Linc" for short.

My cat, Mingus, who recently passed away was neutered by a Dr. Weiner. We always had a good laugh about that. I went to school with a girl named Echo, which is sort of unusual (but I liked it). I believe she said her mother named her after a doll that she had when she was little. And there's...

Lots of tears came when I read how Chloe would share a moment with you with her eyes. It was the same way for me with Mingus; I know just what you mean. I really love my cat, George, and my new little Ella to pieces - they're both so friendly, sweet, and loveable - but neither of them do that...

I get them at Petco, but I've seen them at other local pet stores. This is the bottle to look for: Feline Urinary Support. Mingus was a finicky cat, and I used to grind up one of these tablets and mix it in with his wet food. You could tell he knew something was different about it, but he ate...

Oh, that's so sad! I'm so sorry! Bagearra was such a beautiful cat, and so lucky to have literally been rescued by you and given so much love while he was on this earth. If it makes you feel any better, my cat George never shows the typical signs of having a UTI (has had it 3 times now, and...

Great...I'll stop by the pet store tonight. Thanks!

We used to rub a piece of ice on Mingus's back (RIP), and he seemed to like it on particularly hot days. (I think he would have ripped our faces off if we tried to stick him in a tub or sink full of water!)

I have sort of the same question, but with a 7-year-old cat, and I've been thinking I should probably start feeding him senior food: I have a 15-lb. 7-year-old cat, named George, who typically free-feeds on Hills Science Diet Adult Light/Hairball dry food during the day, and at night 1/2 can of...

Thank you all for your kind words...They've really helped me through a difficult time. Good news...I adopted a 14-week kitten from a shelter this weekend! He was named Little Ben at the shelter, and we've been calling him Benny. We initially were looking for a cat who looked a bit different...

Yeah, it was hard going alone... But Mingus was my BF's "best buddy," and he took it especially hard. I was the most upset I've ever been, and I think he might have been even more so...it was even more heartbreaking for me to see how upset he was. (He would feel very uncomfortable showing...

Sincerely, Hobbester, booktigger, CyberKitten, Beckiboo, mlmcats, Hikkyburp, LovesMyCats, and DarciFinn -- thank you all for the condolences...each one really means a lot to me. You're right DarciFinn, I've found many people don't quite understand, and sometimes are sort of cold on the subject...

I put my cat, Mingus, to sleep on Friday. He only just turned 8. I'm not sure if I'll ever get over this! We just moved at the end of May, and noticed Mingus wasn't eating much of his canned food. He was never a big fan of the canned food like our other cat anyway, and thought he was...
