h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

While more recent arrivals at Castle Gosho probably won't be aware because I haven't spoken about the cats, Dewey U188950 and Flossie U188948, for some time. When the former Mrs Gosho and I split up she got custody, and a year or two back she moved to Dallas with her new husband so I haven't seen either of them since then, but I shan't be seeing Flossie any more. She got very ill earlier this week, and today she went to the vet and didn't come back. She was 15 so she had a pretty good innings, and since Dewey doesn't go out any more (cos BV couldn't afford the vets bills following all the punch-ups he got into) she had him all to herself for the last year or so. She would have enjoyed that. Not so sure about Dewey though, being a typical boy and everything

And Flossie being Flossie, even when she was getting too weak to do little else she still made it to the food bowl That's my girl, that is

No flowers, by request.

So sorry to read this. It's always so gutting when our pets/companions/familiars/... unconditional friends pass on. When Greebo goes away, it's going to destroy me. I've never had a more loving cat.

But as horrible as that will be, I'm sure I'll rescue two more when he's gone (and can't scratch the hell out of me for introducing interlopers into his domain).

Here's to flossy and here's to Dewey as well, long may he live.

for your loss, on the other hand our pets may be more fortunate than ourselves.

You can not go to a and hear that you are in pain and I can't help anymore - here let me give you this shot that will fix everything.

Not a strong position on either side, but sometimes I wonder...

sorry for your loss, and Dewey's loss too <-- Yorkshire

My condolences. I lost my beloved Clicquot recently.

15? But... they were just kittens, how can they be 15 already?

So sorry, Gosho and Dewey.

There are some things at h2g2 that are a given:

2legs is to blame for everything
There will be topic drift
The demise of the site will be forecast with regularity
The profanity filter will be despised
Ottox will reappear when least expected

And long may it remain so.
