I know how much it hurts to loose an old friend like  "Crumble" , I had to have my good buddy "Fred" put down not very long ago. Everyone at the VT's office cried , he was the gentlest most loving cat I ever had. My wife comments about how I continue to put his sleeping towel down every night.

Today I lost my wonderful cat Crumble. He would have been 20 in September. I feel so empty and sad. Here he is in better times.  God bless you. I will always love and think of you.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss OldHippie. You should take comfort in the fact he had a great innings and to get to 19 1/2 you must have really looked after and loved him well.

Kind regards

Very sorry to hear you lost Crumble today.  :o(

I had a cat, Noel, who I got on Christmas when I was ten and who I lost when I was twenty eight. It's strange how they start out younger than you and end older.  She never looked a day over 2 though.  I still think of her.  They're always good for a laugh you know.

Sad news indeed OH, my condolences.

We had a very bad year last year as we lost 6; 5 through old age and poor health, and 1 to the road.

It is always very painful but we still have 16 others to occupy our minds, along with the tortoises and the geko!!

This is Bramble. We lost him to the road last December. He was only 5 which made it even sadder. We still have his mum, sister, and two brothers (Mimi, Masie, Noah and Micky).

Thank you. What a beautiful cat and so sad to hear Bramble died. I have always had cats in my family as far back as I can remember. This morning I was looking at some photos of crumble and I started crying so I put them to one side. My home feels so empty without him.

We too lost a cat, Isabella Catallini,  that had been with us for 20 years. I tried to tell myself that she had a long, good life, but it seems that when a friend has been with you so long it makes it even harder when she passes.

These Cat friends give so much that makes life more complete.

My cat Fred died 3 years ago, and every night I still put his favorite towel down in the place he slept.(On the bed) which I did for 10 years

His name is Phil and We rescued him from a shelter in Mt. Olive North Carolina he was found in a garbage bag with all his litter mates, the rest were dead. Apparently the breeders top cat mixed with a stray and she didn't want them .

Phil was pretty sick when we got him 3 years ago but now is a great , loving , half Lilac Siamese half alley cat. He is very loud talker & every night hew howls after we go to bed until I tell him to bring his toys to bed . Then one by one he brings his carrot,his bird,his tiger, and his monkey stuffed animal and drops it on my chest. The remains quiet and sleeps the rest of the night next to me.

It would have been a terrible thing to not rescue a great cat like Phil here he is the day I brought him home, before he changed his color

Isn’t he gorgeous. Phil is my Christian name.  

 

Thanks Phil

As you can see poor little Phil was very sick with a sinus infection & an eye infection, which he gave to our other two cats. So we were at the vets for a couple of weeks.

Have you ever seen a cat change it's colors that much from kitten to adult? Also he doesn't shed.

Can you imaging throwing them in the garbage, because they waen't pure bred ? The person who killed the other six should be horse whipped.

Here  I am trying to watch TV

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
