LaPtiteBete: Looks really cool... That said, I don't know much about computers :") I have a laptop... (Acer Aspire V3-772GTX-54206G1TMakk... it's pretty good for gaming) :)
LaPtiteBete: Hey, good afternoonCrow :) How are you ?

moonshineshadow: Nah don't worry :D

moonshineshadow: *welcome hug* How is your day?

adaliabooks: Hey everyone.. sorry for my absence today...

We've had some bad news today :(

Sherwood, our ill cat, came home last night but he wasn't very well. We were up with him for quite a lot of the night and this morning we had to take him to the vets and have him put to sleep.
We had our differences me and him.. he liked to bite me if I so much as touched me for one, and he once attacked my girlfriend so badly she had to go to A & E to get patched up, but I loved that cat.
As I've mentioned before he had cancer three years ago and had been in the clear up until the last few months were his health started to deteriorate again. In the end we're not really sure what it was, just that he had lost a lot of weight and had no appetite and was very weak. This morning my partner, our vet and I decided that putting him to sleep was the best option as he was started to suffer and showed no signs of getting better.

So it's not been the best day. My partner adored Sherwood and it's hit us both quite hard. It hasn't quite sunk in yet and we're still expecting him to come and sit beside us on the couch...

I know I've said no to hugs in the past, but today I could do with all the virtual hugs you can give :(

Sorry to bring everyone down, but I had to share. I hope everyone else has had a better day.

gunsynd: I'm sorry for your loss,I know how you feel:-(

CarrionCrow: Fucking hell...my condolences to both you and your partner. I'm sorry to hear you're having to go through that.

adaliabooks:

adaliabooks: Thanks Crow. We knew he was going to die eventually, and have been expecting it since his diagnosis three years ago. And in the last few months even more so, but despite that damn if it hasn't hit hard...

budejovice: I'm really sorry to hear this, adaliabooks. My thoughts are with you and your partner. He is free from suffering and that is a good thing.

Just this once... hugs!

adaliabooks: Thanks :)

Yeah, we always said we would let him go if we thought he was suffering and in pain and it had gotten to that point. It wasn't fair on him when he was clearly not getting better and had no quality of life any more.

adaliabooks: Hey everyone..

budejovice: There are few things I hate more than seeing animals in fear or pain. It sounds like it was, obviously very difficult, but the wise and compassionate thing to do.

What was his name? Do you have any photos you would like to share in this thread?

moonshineshadow: Sorry to hear this *extra big hug*

LaPtiteBete: I'm sorry for your cat Adalia... ;-( I know how you feel too... lost mine last summer... I send you a lot of compassionate thoughts...
** Best Comforting Tight Hug **
= "we're still expecting him to come and sit beside us on the couch..." = It took me many weeks/months before I even stopped "hearing" her mew outside, or expect her to wait at the door... Be well...

AgentBirdnest: I'm so sorry... I can't even imagine how hard that must have been.
I don't even know what to say... So I'm just going to hug you instead.

*Big comforting hug*
