I think I need to get a video clip of her meowing - she is so cute and her meow is so quiet BUT gets louder when her dish is empty ;)

Mary I can see the change in her. She looks more relaxed and confident. A lovely photo that shows a happier cat. Must have been an ordeal for her at her age facing all the changes.

Gill, she doesn't have arthritis she has jumped up on the settee arm and the sofa bed and Bonnie's pink chair with no probs.

Julie she has lovely markings and her chest is like a lion's mane. :Luv2: :hug: You can see her lion's mane a bit inthis pic of her on the sofa bed.

Thank you everyone :hug: :hug:

Chivers and Punky, who were littermates never really got on. Chivvy was mean to Punky and, to be brutally honest, I let him get away with things cos he was a tripod  :-[

Nortie tortie indeed!

I am so glad Kitty is venturing out more, do you know, maybe they didn't get on so well after all.

I have seen quite a few pairs of cats, even sisters and mothers and daughters come into rescue, and they aren't keen on each other at all  :(

Be kind to yourself, eat something, get some rest, and tomorrow you may see the light of Tisha's eyes in Kitty who needs you more than ever.

Oh Mary I'm so sorry to hear about Tisha.   :hug: :hug: :hug:  You must be feeling heartbroken,  angry, desolate, abandoned,  any number of exhausting emotions.  It's precious little comfort at the moment but hang on to the thought that gave Tisha the most wonderful gift possible, that of love.  It was only for a short time but she will have known it and felt secure in your care.   As for Kitty, she may blossom as an only cat; I hope she does.  Some do after a lifetime of playing second fiddle to a more demonstrative sibling and there is nothing more rewarding than the first signs of trust and affection from a timid cat.

I'm not sure Kitty will know she isn't here as she is always downstairs behind the sofa bed 90% of the time ........

I'm not sure what to say Mary  :'( :'( :'(  Too cruel comes to mind but I just hope with all my heart that Kitty emerges from her hideaway and you get to give and receive some feline TLC. 

Oh Mary.  Just saw your last post.  How adorable is that.  This is for Kitty  :care: :care: :care:

I really am so incredibly sorry for your loss Mary  :cuddle:

Thanks again everyone :hug:

The vet saw her last Thursday when I thought it was all going wrong and asked me to bring her in for a biopsy.  Eddie is 100% a fantastic vet.

I went to bed this morning after posting about Tisha.  I got up about 5.00 p.m. and Kitty came out for something to eat and then went back to her fave spot.

I had a Tesco delivery at 7.30 p.m. and made myself a chicken sarnie. Kitty came out and sat at my feet meowing so Igave her a lot of chicken and then she laid on the floor for about 1 and 3/4 hours.  Not sutre if it's cos it's hot or cos she knows I'm upset or what?  A bit of everything probably.

So sorry, hon. I can only echo what everyone has already said - you gave her a loving home (and bed!) for her final days.

Like Gill, I'm also wondering what the vet meant.
You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world.

What the hell have I done to make god hate me so much?

Vet just phoned and he hasn't taken a biopsy cos he can see it's grown so much since he last saw her and it's eaten away at half of her tongue.  So he is letting her go. :( :-[


Sorry Mary but this has been playing on my mind ever since I saw the sad news.

When did the vet see her last? Does this mean they knew about this before she came to you?

If so I am so sorry they let you down but she had a great 3 weeks with you  :hug: :hug: :hug:

I cannot believe she has been taken from you so soon Mary. :( In these last weeks she knew love and caring. If she has been elsewhere they wouldn't have noticed her problem and she would have suffered but you were there Mary and you did what was right and spared her pain in her final weeks. She was sent to you for love.
Play well at the bridge sweet Tisha. Your mum sent you there with love and you took some of her heart with you xx

I'm so glad that she cameto bed with me and I gave her lots of cuddles in her last few weeks.

I'm not sure Kitty will know she isn't here as she is always downstairs behind the sofa bed 90% of the time and Tisha was upstairs apart from coming down for food.

So much better with you than in a rescue and the final act of kindness has saved her suffering, so very sorry for your loss  :hug: :hug:
