Hedi, you poor poor thing.. I cant believe you have lost another cat
Do you talk to your neighbors?? Would any of them want to harm your cats? I was under the impression that your cats were kept inside a cat enclosure. Please know that you are in my thoughts.. I'm very sorry you have to go through this

First I want to thank you all for the kind words you have given me


Sicy , I did had 5 outsite cats . Elisha died of being poision , I know for sure . Mr. T. was missing before Elisha died , what we think that he aslo was poision and just never made it home . Now Jeremiah has passed away and my husband thinks he also got poision by the same person .
I still have Fluff and Shananah as outsite cats . Btw , they are all spayed or neuter , so with other words they do not roam like the the one's are who are not fixed .
We also know the person who complaint to me about my dogs barking all the time has complaint about all the d*** cats by the A.C. , the A.C.talk to my hubby and told him abput it. They also said to the person who complaint that they are not all my cats ( he thought they were) who are roaming around out there . The A.C. person he talk to was also the one person who took care of my animals last year while we were all on vacation and so know how many cats and what cats we have . They did tell him if there is a cat on his yard to call him and they will come by and pick it up . We think he has taken the law in his own hand , but can't proove it
, sadly .
Also my next door neighbours had 2 puppy's died in the last 6 month being poision and we also think it was the same person who poision my cats.

W/ the best cats
This is just so sad! I am truly so sorry! I think it is more painful when you don't know the cause and even worse when you suspect foul play!

I am so sorry about Jerimiah, what an awful loss. I'd really urge you to call the police and report the deaths of your cats as well as your neighbors puppy. It sounds like you have a sicko in your neighborhood who needs to be dealt with by the authorities.

Thank you both so much .

Gus's Mom, my husband is a Police Officer here . I have to have something in my hands to show to the cops . Elisha would be a prove that he was poision , but they would tell me that he could eat something that poision him at any place by misstake
. So beside a report I can make and they file the report there would be nothing done at all . My husband and I talk about that . The neigbours don't want to do anything either

So far out in left field I got lost
Hedi
my friend. I am so so very sorry to hear that you have lost another one of your babies
I think I would contact animal control and at least report that you babies are dying unexpectedly and quite possiably at the hands of some beast.

Please know that my heart is crying with you. Nemo will watch after them and make sure that they are safe as they play at the bridge.

Hedi, I am so sorry. If it is any consolation, he died at home, safe. Wild animals didn't get him and you were able to say your "goodbyes" and bury him at home. I know it is small consolation, but my heart is with you.

Thank you Blondie
to you . I am sure Nemo is there and is also playing with my baby's . At the rainbow bridge they are all at peace and with joy , no more pain and suffering .

Mike did told the animal control about it , as I said in my early post I need to have some kind of proove . Be sure if we had something to proove that , my husband would nail that SOB .


Thank you also Kitten Kiya and yes I am glad Jeremiah has come home to pass away and I could give him a respectful burrial (sp) .

I agree with reporting the person you suspect and get any neighbors who agree with you to go along with the report. Keep all animals inside also.

I'm so sorry you have lost another one of your furbabies. May Jerimiah rest in peace at the Rainbow Bridge.

Gus's Mom, my husband is a Police Officer here
I was wondering if there might be someone your husband arrested in the past who is still carrying a grudge against him and is taking it out on your cats?

No it is not someone my husband arrested . It is a neighbours , two houses away from us . He is a trunk and a old grumb and also very lonely . He was beating his last girlfriend up , about 6 years ago and she left him after he was beating on her a few times . His ex wife left him b/c of his cheating on other woman as far what the other neighbours told me .

I am so sorry that you lost your precious Jeremiah.
My heart goes out to you at this time of great loss.
I, too, love all cats and do not like to see them hurt in any way.
They are beautiful and majestic creatures and they deserve all the love and respect we can give them.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love and Life,
Nan

My condolences.

Please bear with me, I will contemplate the whole forest and zoom in on the tree that is your Jeremiah.

It is shocking how humans can lose all rationality and become sub-human (for to say they become animals insults the animals), inflicting pain and suffering with no purpose in mind (as if pain and suffering could have a purpose).

There is an abstract yet important thing to keep in consideration. In your country, there are LAWS that PROTECT your beloved cats. Any person that causes harm to them is BREAKING THE LAW. Such laws do not exist in most countries. I am mightily impressed at how in the United States, during an evacuation due to natural disaster, there is a concerted effort to help animals in peril. A wise man said that a Civilization is measured by how it treats its' animals.

And yet, one look inside a slaughterhouse speaks volumes about our smug ignorance and self-delusion. In essence, we are still little more than ancients with a bit of industry.

But then, look at cats, and you can see that they do the same as we do. Conversely, we do the same as they.

I rescue as many mice as I can from the clutches of my cats and feel terrible every time I am unable to save them. I go absolutely livid whenever they catch a bird. Cats are hunters, they are killers. Sometimes, they hunt and kill for target practice, and leave the mouse lying on the ground. And yes, they are sometimes hunted, be it by dogs, by people or by OTHER CATS.

In the large picture, one in which we humans, like cats, are both hunter and hunted, your Jeremiah was a robust spirit, for he lived a life surrounded by love, and this should make you feel happy and proud, even as you are in pain. While Jeremiah lived, he was never alone and surrounded by indifference.

This perspective, our place in this grand cycle that I do not like yet is beyond my control, helped me when I lost Movi at the hands of a savage I tragically trusted.

May all your cats be safe, from now onward.
