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!

    • Ok thanks Ross, I will give that a try!😁
    • Welcome my friend. 
    • Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.
    • Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?
    • Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
