Hello everyone,ive was told about this site by Sam (fussyfurball ) and altho the subject of my joining is sad i hope to make many friends with whom i can chat about my beloved cats and theirs,friends i can laugh with and friends i can cry with (like Sam ) and maybe once my pain has gone i could help out with some of the problems that we all experience with our quest to help all furballs everywhere.

oooh is someone talking about me :evillaugh:
I'd like to take this opportunity of officially welcoming you the nicest, friendliest and most helpful cat forum on the web (oh and did I mention the moderators are a pretty good bunch as well ;) ).
It's great to have you on board and in time, when you feel up to it, we would love to hear all about all your furries (feline and canine) and of course we'd love to see pics.
All the best :hug:
Sam, Foxy, Zephyr and Rossi xxxx

:welcome: to Purr's
I too joined Purr's under Sad circumstances,
but through that devastating time (loss of my Hamish) :'( :'( :'( the support I got was amazing :hug: :wow:
You'll really enjoy it here ;D ;D ;D
-
Yay - another Geordie - I knew it! Dancing banana time I think! :yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy:
It's very hard when you lose beloved companions, and when you lose them close together it's as if you're being battered beyond belief. :hug: The last time we lost our family dog, we said we couldn't do it again and wouldn't have another. Two years later and we just couldn't contemplate carrying on without another to share our lives, and that's how we got Tess. Your little family sounds fantastic. Have you any pics? ;D
-
Yes in deed another geordie, :thanks: its a wonderful place to be and its knowing that theres other people like me.(my neighbours think im batty) who look upon their furballs as family and not just pets,and altho i say no more i know there will be as i cant refuse them.i have just taken a load of photos of my family so will post soon Stuart i sympathise with you :hug:its really hard i know and Hamish looks such a lovely furball but as you say the support you get here is fantastic,i know its really helping me
-
No-one minds a jot on here if you're batty - most of us are, I reckon! :evillaugh: That's the great thing about Purrs - you can natter away about your puds and dogs and rats or reptiles - whatever it is you have, and there's always someone to chunter with who is interested or has advice to share or funny stories to tell, and the support network on here is really amazing, as has been said.
-
Bonnielass its not us animal lovers who are batty - its those who aren't :rofl:
This is a great place, and good to have you.
-
If your batty then you'll fit well here - the more batty the better :)
Welcolme to Purrrs :welcome:

Sorry you've joined us in such sad circumstances, we're all here for you :hug:

Ahhhh. Sad indeed. Everytime we have lost one of our "babies" we say never again. But life is not the same without our furry family around us.

Hiya Bonnielass, and welcome to Purrs, as others have already said, its a shame you found us in such sad circumstances, but the support on here is fantastic. When my boy was diagnosed with kidney issues earlier in the year, everyone was so brilliant in reasurring and giving advice, there are so many knowledgeable peeps on here :)
This is a fab forum, everyone is lovely and its great to natter away with like minded nutters folks :evillaugh:
-

My little oriental is a complete and utter terror,youve heard of the Andrex pup, well i have the Andrex cat, she can shred a loo roll in seconds, about 2 million pieces the same goes for a kitchen roll,i came home from work the other day and the loo roll was all round the bathroom,the landing down the stairs where it met with the kitchen roll :) dont you dare laugh, it took ages to clear up :rofl:,yesterday i bought an indoor fig tree, about 6' high, she thinks its just for her to play with and climb up :Crazy: cat,i could write a book about her antics,and yes im at kirkby in ashfield so if your ever out this way give me a shout, you would be very welcome, come and meet the gang

Got three of them already. Smartie has just run from one end of the house to the other at breakneck speed, crashed into the settee, jumped from settee to settee then decided to sit on my shoulder! She is perched there at the minute - its a bit difficult for me to see the laptop but heyho! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
The other two are very quiet at the minute (Summer cause she's poorly) Skye is upstairs probably on our bed! She woke me up this morning biting my nose so I got up and came downsairs to feed her. Did she follow me, no - went back up and she was fast asleep in the middle of the bed. Cheeky little critter!
-
Dont you just love them :innocent:Cally has decided that her mission in life is to wake me at 2am each morning playing with the dreamcatchers so i have had to move them ;Dno doubt she will find some other way
-
Oh she certainly will lol :shify:
-
sorry foir being ignorant did you say summer is poorly, whats the matter with her?,i hope its nothing serious.IM SENDING HER AHUG :hug:
-
Took her to the vet on Saturday becuase she had started to cough on Friday. Vet thinks its cat flu or asthma. She's on antibiotics at the minute and seems to be improving a little. Back to the vet later this week me thinks to get her checked out again. She's still eating, drinking and using the litter tray but I am really worried about her. The others are not showing any signs of being ill but worried about them too! Thanks for :hug:
-
Poor you :hug: i know what its like ,i had a cat Wizzy who had asthma, he was 7 weeks old when he had to go to the vets, he was there for 5 days(swallowed some dried grass and cut all his throat) he was on a drip and while he was there he caught cat flu,but he came through and soon learnt that if he got stressed then he would start to wheeze or if he was cold,the vet gave me some tablets for him which i used to get whenever i needed them after that he was fine,so if it turns out to be asthma please dont worry,im sending lots of good vibes her way and a another hug for you both :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thanks :Luv:
-
Sending some gentle tickles for Summer. :hug:
-
Thanks Sue. Summer says hi to Paddy x
