Here is my cat "Lew" helping me adjust a pocket watch and adding  a hair to places one should never be.

Just stumbled upon this thread and had a read though.  I don't mind admitting I shed a tear for all your friends that have been lost over the years.  I've been there a few times, it never gets any eas

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

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
