Its been a very bad week

Deepest sympathies fella, I feel for your loss.
As for Socksy, we had a cat that would occasionally disappear for a week or more but he would always come home eventually.
Keep your pecker up, time will ease your pain.

Slime.
 
Cheers all.

Day 5 and still no sign of our cat. Gutted.

Some really nice people have offered possible sightings of Socksy but so far no joy. Done as much as I possibly could have so is just a matter of waiting around to see if he turns up. I'll just keep banging his metal food trays out the back door:(

In some way the cat saga has been a distraction to the passing away of my sister. Funeral on Friday which I'm looking forward to like a hole in the head.
 
I was so hoping your reply meant Socksy had come home. Hopefully the silly boy will turn up and like a typical cat waltz in as if nothing has happened. Sounds like you guys deserve a break and him turning up at the door would be such good news.

Funerals can be awful of course but also (kind of weirdly) good family times with lots of chat about the past and laughs too. My heart truly broke the day of my Dad's funeral and yet that afternoon we talked and talked about him and so many laughs...

Thinking of you and your family.
 
After more than 2 weeks of no news of our cat we suddenly found our cat.....dead.:(

This happened last Saturday , I was out of the area visiting family when I got a call from my other half. She was distressed, someone had sent her a text whilst she was at work saying that they were very sorry but they have just seen a dead cat in a nearby garden. As I was about an hour away I called a neighbour to ask if he could pop over to find the cat and do a positive ID on it. He said on the phone that he thought it was our cat and when I later arrived on the scene I confirmed that it was definitely our cat. :( The woman spotted the cat the day before from her bedroom window but thought at the time it was just a cat just resting in the sun.


The strange and frustrating thing was that this particular garden was searched by me 2-3 times because it has dense bramble bushes at the back, perfect I thought for a cat to be hiding in. I searched it quite well and on one occasion last was accompanied by my other half in the search. Coincidentally the owner of the property had arranged for a gardener to come on the next day to cut the brambles back. We looked over the fence from our bedroom window and saw that the brambles were trimmed back a little but still no sign of our cat, and we would have easily saw it if it had been out in the clear (as I found it). Not sure what happened, whether the cat was in the brambles all along and something - possibly a fox had discovered it and pulled it into the open. Or if our cat was coming back to our house but never quite made it.:confused:

Anyway I'm thankful in that we now know the fate of our cat. Although we will probably never know why he got so ill so suddenly and where it has been for the previous 10 days and how long ago he passed away etc.

Suffice to say we are all gutted.

So sorry for you, thats very sad.
 
So sorry to hear that - poor Socksy. A horrible outcome for you all on top of everything else...small comfort, but at least you know he's not out there suffering and frightened.
