    Simon's Story: A Cat's Tail... "a life celebrated".

    @2Cats4everLoved  Oh my gosh Hope, I really wasn't expecting that, wow. I'm so sorry to hear that Chestnut has passed. I know its not a lot of consolation although having been through several bereavements recently, this stuff does make a difference - so I'm glad you were able to be right there...

    What does my cat look like?

    @Billysmum  @2Cats4everLoved  gosh, you're right. He's got Eddie's beautiful wide nose and big ears. I love a cheeky black cat with a good nose. Give him a cuddle from me!

    Old Cat's Behavior Change

    Cats do do funny stuff, often for no discernable reason. My cat began sleeping on my bedroom floor at around 13 years old after years of sleeping on my bed. He did come back every once in a while for the night (and he would always spend time with me there watching dvds etc of an evening) but...

    Lexi Crossed the Bridge today...........5/10/2000 - 6/29/2016

    I'm sending you sympathy all the way from London. We know how you feel here so so much. Its the hardest decision. The hardest of the hard but its done from a place of big love. I'm glad you got to spend that last bit of special time together.  She really looked like a special cat...

    Simon's Story: A Cat's Tail... "a life celebrated".

    @2Cats4everLoved  & @nerdgirl5  Oh my gosh, I do that all the time too. But I don't think we should be hard on ourselves.  When its something that you've been doing every day for *years*, its hard to just stop that line of communication. I have to talk to Eddie, just to let him know that I'm...

    Simon's Story: A Cat's Tail... "a life celebrated".

    Thank you @MaggieMay, I really appreciate that. I miss my funny boy cat with his cheeky chops very very much. I like the idea that he is taking care of me though every time I have a little laugh to myself about his antics - of which there were so many. He is buried on the exact spot where he...

    Simon's Story: A Cat's Tail... "a life celebrated".

    Thank you @2Cats4everLoved  for including Eddie in your wonderful Simon tribute. Isn't it curious (and lovely) how our two stories ultimately knitted together. It was such a difficult decision for me to take that trip to the States but despite his illness, Eddie was in good shape and I was...

    Oh Simon....and oh you @2Cats4everLoved. I am so so sorry to switch on my mac and to read this news. One knows these things are going to happen - but one wishes that they wouldn't. I hope you get to take comfort in the wonderful life that you gave Simon over the coming weeks. He couldn't have...

    @2Cats4everLoved  Thank you for your message - and it may surprise you to know that I saw that very same sunset after that incredible rain last night as I took the A train to JFK. I'd been virtually off the grid for a week travelling in the States so I was wondering how you and Simon were doing...

    Squamous Cell Carcinoma - any opinions on radiation treatment?

    Thank you @foxxycat  this is great and really helpful. You are so right about not anticipating bad things. This has by far been one of my biggest challenges. My mum sadly passed in Sept after a dramatic illness and my remaining step father got rushed into hospital this march with heart issues...

    Squamous Cell Carcinoma - any opinions on radiation treatment?

    Ahhh thank you @Donutte  for your Eddie related compliments. I fell in love with him the second I clapped eyes on him in the shelter 12 years ago. And yes, I hope that decision doesn't come around for a little while yet....

    Squamous Cell Carcinoma - any opinions on radiation treatment?

    Thank you @meplus5  ~Yes, you're right about cancer and symptoms being wide ranging. I was opposed to the biopsy at first (and it wasn't cheap either) but Im glad we did it now as the wondering and the questions were doing my head in. I do think that if you feel more informed and (slightly!)...
