    Hello All!

    Hi all

    This is my first post here, but I have been reading all your posts for the last few days. This is a great site, I have really enjoyed all your stories and pictures.

    I have 3 cats of my own, Sooty a tabby 13 years old, Bugs a tortoiseshell 10 years old, and my little kitten Twinkle also a tortoiseshell 6 months old. Once i have figured out how to put pictures on here I will post some.

    I am going through a tough time at the moment, my Sooty has a cancerous growth on her face. We have seen the vets and he has advised that it could be removed but it would mean she would loose half of her face Even then though, he says because of the type of cancer it is it will probably occur somewhere else. He said chemo would not help and radiotherapy might help but would leave her with sores all over her face and many trips to the vets. Me and my partner have had a tough Christmas deciding what to do. We have decided not to put her through all that treatment with no gaurantees. She is happy at the moment and still her normal self, but i know that the time will come when I will have to make the decision to put her to sleep. Thats tough, but I have found this site a great help. Its great to find a site where there are so many people who are as crazy about cats as I am.

    I cannot imagine not having Sooty she is my angel, she knows me very well and if I am upset she comes and licks my nose and won't leave me alone. We have a special connection.

    Anyway must go. What a brilliant site this is and I will post pictures when I work out how to do it!!!!

    Bye for now

    Thanks manda_moo87 for my siggy

    Welcome to Pet Talk Nicki! My name is Vickie but I prefer to be called Slick. I'm the willing servant to Max the Persian who is 11 and Speckles the Tabby who is 17. We live in BC, Canada.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Sooty and if I were in your shoes, I'd probably do the same thing. I've never had to make "the decision" but lots of people here have, and when the time comes you will get all the love and support you need.

    Oh yes, and beware...this site is very addictive.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Welcome to PT! You'll love it here . . . and I'm sure you'll soon find that PT Friends are GREAT! It's hard to go through something with a pet, and having some friends that understand and that can relate are priceless!

    Welcome! So very sorry to hear about Sooty. Having one of our special furry friends hurting is very hard to deal with. Duke is my furry soul mate like your Sooty is to you. He's 11 1/2 now. I also just acquired Doogie(kitty) in November. I also have a 20 year old Arabian horse that I've had since he was 10 months old. We'll look forward to seeing pics of your sweeties.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Welcome to PT Poo!!

    I'm sorry to hear about Sooty. The only advice I can offer you is this...as long as Sooty is happy, eating and isn't in any pain, enjoy the time you have left with her. It'll mean so much to you both.

    You and Sooty will be in my thoughts and prayers. We're here if you need to vent.

    (((hugs))))

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
