Oh my Gosh!
Her face really reminds me of my Boo kitty! Okay, her real name was Frances, but for some strange reason I always called her 'Boo'
She passed when she was only 10 - kidney failure....

why yes! yes it is Keller!
so happy someone else here is a fan! i just LOVE him! my sister's friend (who attended Bonnaroo) introduced my sister and i to his music back in the summer. he also let us borrow a VCD of Keller...which is what made me a HUGE fan! he's just incredible! in fact, i've been listening to some of his stuff all night (mainly samples from Loop and his upcoming Dance) i would absolutely love the chance to see him live! i bet he gives a stand-up performance!*ps, sorry for the tread drift

She was hit by a car. As a matter of fact, it was a week ago today. She was 14 years old, so like you, I dont have many memories without her (being 18 years old myself). I never thought I'd take it as hard as I did, actually. Mandy is adorable!
aw, gosh...untimely deaths are always harder! I had a 5 year old cat when i was younger that drown in my pool. that was pretty rough. Mandy was just old though...she had arthritis...poor thing, all summer we could hear her whimper when she tried to lie down. sometimes we'd be in the house and we could still hear her. it just broke my heart. we were always afraid something would happen to her while we were at Florida. i'm just thankful we were home when something finally did happen. we had been at Opry Mills Mall literally all day (we were gone over 12 hours) we came home about 9pm, mom went out to feed her and came in saying that she was breathing heavy and she wouldn't move, so we knew there wasn't a whole lot we could do. around 11 or so, dad came in telling us she had died. it's still hard for me to get over the fact that she won't be there waiting for me when i go outside. but i'm just happy for the good, long life she did have. all her life she had a family that loved her and plenty of room to run around, so i'd like to think she had a good life. towards the end, like i said, she started whimpering a lot when trying to lay down, and she was getting REAL skinny...we'd always get her hair shaved off during the summer (she was an Alaskian Malamute) to keep her cool, and you could see her bones sticking out all over...it was so hard to see her like that.
thank you for the kind words, MicBat...she was a beautiful dog (when she wasn't too gy) and just the sweetest thing! i'll always miss her...just as i'm sure you'll always miss your cat!

wow i also had a cat named mittens that died of kidney failure but at age 7
he had alot of problems though when we first found him ( was a stray ) a year later he had a para site they think it finally showed itself than 6 months after that he had cancer and we gave him kemo shots than when he was five he got kidney failure we saved him and he got it back again when he was seven this time no treatment worked they think he got the kidney problems from the heartworm stuff you put on the back of the neck I could have sworn I just felt a tear rolling down my cheek. I really miss everytime we would come home and she would be there to greet us. When my mom would go out walking, she would follow her down to the end of the street and wait until she got back and follow her back home. It was hilarious. We tried to make her an indoor cat, but we just couldn't keep her in the house. It's times like these that make you appreciate what you've got. The loss of my cat (puddy cat) has helped me to realize that I've never lost anyone really close to me before. It made me feel for those who have lost family members (if it was this bad losing a pet, I cant imagine how horrible it must feel to lose a person in your family).
This thread sure has become the animal mourning thread, huh? Anyone else have any stories?

I am sorry about your loses...
I´ve never had a pet myself... only turtles and birds. The turtle got lost in the bakyard and the birds -in different times of my life- either flew away, were given away or died. One of them died of panic when a cat attacked it...
I´m a "dog person" and want to get a dog -love labradors and the "hush puppies" kind- but I´m not that committed and I don´t want to make the dog suffer because I´m not home or so. After reading how attached you get to them and how you suffer their loses I´m not sure I want to go through the same though! :animwink:
Oooops... this thread is about cats!

yeah, i know exactly what you mean...after Mandy died i had many second thoughts about ever owning another pet (that is, after the 3 cats i have now) but ya know, it's like everything else in life...they come and go, and sure it hurts like hell to lose them, but nothing can ever replace the joy they gave you, and your love for them will never fade. Even now i don't know if i could feel the same way i felt about Mandy...i do know that it's still gonna be a long while before i can bring myself to get another dog. i feel like i'd be trying to replace her, even though i know there's no way i could ever replace her. pets are like the people in our lives, really...like family...especially the pets you can cuddle up to. but when we lose close family and friends, it hurts, but we live. we carry on with our lives with them in our hearts and thoughts. we will never forget them, but we move on with our lives because it's the only thing we can do. point is, i don't think any of us would trade the love and joy we've experienced from the people in our lives, and when we lose that, i don't think we would try to avoid another loss by shutting out potential happiness....and same goes for pets. don't shut out the potential happiness and friendship just to avoid the loss. the good far outweighs the bad. i hope that made sense

omg! i'm the same way! the closest person i've ever lost was my friend...she died in a car accident over the summer. but we weren't extremely close, so it was a big impact (especially since she was the first of my class to die) but not as big as the loss of a close family member would be. i've always known it would be hard to lose a close family member, but after Mandy died, it just really brought it to a reality how hard it could be. it really showed me to take every advantage of what i have now before its gone.

In spite of my extreme allergy to cats, I allowed my wife and kids to keep a stray -- as an out door cat. (I like cats well enough. Much better than dogs.) They called him "Raisins." White with black blobs.
He had an interesting personality. Left squirrels (minus their brains) by the door in the garage. Also had a taste for most animal brains including cardinals, chipmunks, mice. Kept our yard varmint free.
He slept on a shelf in the garage in the winter. And who knows where in the summer.
Once, while we were on vacation, the friends taking care of him accidentally locked him in the house. I don't know why they didn't notice he wasn't eating any of his food when they came back to feed him. Anyway, after about 4 days our next-door neighbor finally noticed he was locked inside and let him out. He had done quite well. Made his own littler box from a box of paper. Drank from the toilet. found the food bag. I was proud of him.
He started becoming more aggressive toward the kids. At first it was an occasional nip or scratch. Then he started stalking and striking. Their friends' parents were afraid to let their kids come over. (I made sure he was afraid of me from the start sohe never bothered me. -- I hate hives.)
Finally, the last straw was when he pounced on my oldest son and thrashed his back. It was a carefully calculated, well-executed maneuver that any cat could be proud of, but it earned Raisins a trip to the animal shelter.
Hopefully they found a nice farm for him or else they're stepping over a bunch of brainless rodents at heaven's gate right now.

That´s why I don´t like cats... they calculate their movements and act. Not like dogs that act more "spontaneously".
I was scratched on my arm by an outdoor cat at my grandma´s. He lived there and I was having dinner and the cat jumped on me and got on the table to eat my burger!
The next time, I was at my my bf mom´s house and she had this big cat that lived inside the house and slept in her room, etc, and we were in the living room. My then bf was studying and I was listenning to him repeat the lesson when the big cat came and started to walk in between us. I tried to pet her and the moment I tried to touch her, she raised her VERY SHARP and pointy claw and stuck it in my finger! That really hurt! I screamed and she went away. Nobody could believe she had done that because they claimed she had never attacked anyone! I was the lucky one...
So cats and me don´t really get along that well... :animwink:
