I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet, Frankie.

Is that picture real? It looks fake and odd. I'm not trying to accuse you of anything so don't take it like that, but the picture looks really weird, especially in the cat's eyes. Did you run some kind of weird photo editing on the picture or something?

It is real. I did try to fix a bit of red-eye after I took it.

OK then that would explain it. It kind of looked like you had the cat taken to a taxidermist or something.

Sorry to heart that, you & Fariba hang in there for a few weeks, then go adopt another one.

Sorry to bring back this thread, but this is interesting. Our other kitty, Puya, came down two week ago with something called Nonobstructive Idiopatic Interstitial Cystitis. He is depressed and doesn't want to eat or drink!

Turns out they don't exactly know what causes this in cats but they think it comes from kitty being distressed. It's supposed to hopefully go away after a few weeks. The vet gave us a questioner to determine the changes in the cat's life that might have caused stress. The only applicable condition: "Death or departure of a pet family member!"

In short, Puya is mourning Sammy!!!

Did the questionnaire start with, "Did you have your TV set to the Chiefs/Bills game this past Sunday, with the cat in the room?"

No, his predates the game by a week and a half. But interestingly I have to now consult the vet about my own Nonobstructive something something.

We had to put our dog (ironically named Sammy) down last year. She was a great dog, a foxhound\beagle mix. Our other dog, Tika, is a chihuahua. For weeks, Tika (who never lasted long on a walk around the block) was walking very determined, like she was looking for something. IMO, she was looking for Sammy.

I'm not some sappy "animals are just like humans" person, but I do understand what they mean to us and how they are almost like family. The worst part about buying an animal is you pretty much KNOW it is going to die. Last year we got another dog. But nothing will replace Sammy.

Take care man.

That's exactly how Puya's current condition started! For two days before his condition he was looking all around the house looking for something. He would sit in front of every close door looking at it for about an hour. It was strange. I think it was just starting to dawn on him that Sammy may never come back.

Poor little kitty. I feed bad for you man. I've been there, it's no fun. Hopefully after awhile you can give a good home to another deserving pet who needs a family.

Sorry, Frankie. They have a way to sneek into your heart.

This one most certainly did. He had our hearts hopelessly in his little hairy paws and he knew it.
