Today I lost my beautiful cat Cookie. She was 23 years old, I had her from a kitten. I’m so sad and my eyes are welling up with tears. Here is my wonderful. Please think of her for me.

Know the feeling so well. We have had cats for 40 + years & all have been spoilt and enjoyed good long life's such your Cookie. Maybe time to look out for another.

So sorry for the loss. I know how it feels. Lost a cat in April last year . He has been around for 20 years. My ex had him the last  years so hadn't that much contact.  But i feel sad every time i think about him . 23 years is a respectful  age for a cat.

Oh how awful; you have my condolences.  The only time I don't have a cat is when I'm grieving over the last one.  I had my first cat from age 10 to 29- absolutely my best friend in the whole world and I was devastated when she passed away.  None who came after could replace her but they always did the job well enough. Just having one in the room is enough to suck the stress and tension from the air.

I'll give "Chooch" a little extra gourmet kitty food tonight in honor of Cookie.

I recall losing my cat over a decade ago.  My condolences to you.  It was like losing a human family member.  Dear old Rudy.  She was 16, I adopted her from the animal shelter only 5 years before.  Never thought I could become so attached to a cat.  Loved her like family.   Half Persian, half Himalayan.  Beautiful animal.  Cracked open a can of tuna and she left skid marks on the carpet running to the kitchen.  Stuck her nose up to chunk light.  She had albacore or nothing.  My wife called her Queen Rudy. 

Time heals.  Prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear this, I understand your pain, though 23 years is a very good age for a cat.

We've had a succession of cats over the last 50 years and always painful when they go, they are part of the family..

Our current 'moggie' is a rescue that we have had for just over two years, she was found abandoned, as a kitten in woodland, locked in a pet carrier, suitably sized for a Guinea pig! Don't know how long she had been there but was in a very sorry state. She was not well enough, for over two months, for us to take her home, from the Veterinary hospital where she had been taken by the dog walker that found her.

Looking much better now:)

I had the chilling thought the other day that as I'm now 72, this one might well live longer than me!

    • It's pronounced "bombay" like the city.  French for bomb is, 😄, bombe, pronounced the same as in English. Bombé, bombe.
    • That's a really good idea! I have a 3d printer, I think I'll design something that I can clip on to the edge of my desk to do the same. Thanks for the idea. 
    • I looked up bombè, domed in French.  It's pronunciation is bomb, does a bomb (explosive device) get It's name from bombè? I know we're going off subject but it's interesting. 
    • Okay, I checked with the fine folks at the McCaw Company, and they agree it's the correct crystal, and they have one in stock, so with that sorted time to get onto assembly. Starting by getting the spring into the barrel, which was a bit harrowing. It took me several tries to get it hooked onto my worn old winder arbor, but I did find a new use for the micrometer stand I just purchased. Carefully dabbed some Kluber P125 braking grease to the left of the divots around the barrel, and a little HP1300 on the floor of the barrel before popping it in--in case you haven't seen it, this is a great illustration I found somewhere on this site. You're not the boss of me, Bulova.   2172_Bulova 11AOAC 11AOACD 11AOACB.pdf Bulova_11 AOAC, D, B(1).pdf I got the train back in and it didn't seem as free as I'd like. Looks like the driving wheel with cannon pinion has zero end shake. That could explain the low amplitutde I started with. Now if you were me, would you push on the plate jewel or the bridge jewel? I've attached some extra pictures in case anyone sees something else I'm doing wrong here.
    • I have quite a few watch brands from all over the world. For some reason this Timex electric from 1979 is capturing my attention this week. I am not a particularly fond of battery operated watches or Timex, but this one is different for some reason. Post your watch in your collection that seems to draw you in more now than before...
