Can all you cats people say goodbye to Blacky.

Bit of a sad story tonight. There has been a feral (sp) cat round where I live for the last couple of years, we and (neighboiurs) have been feeding it but it would never let us go near it, this week it has been going into next door through their cat flap and just sleeping, it also let me and my neighbour stroke it. Anyway this evening neighbours husband said it had to go because they already have 3 cats. I said I would take it on but needed the vet to check it over for fleas etc. Blacky as we have called it looked very shabby and was obviously an old cat and very vocal. Me and neighbour got an appointment at the vets for 5pm and took Blacky for a check up. Blacky turned out to be a girl, she had hardly any teeth, her kidneys failing and then the vet found a weeping tumour in her groin, poor thing must have been in agony. Blacky had to be put to sleep, very sad, but at least she went with me cuddling her and talking to her. All the neighbours chipped in with vet fees, and Blacky will be forever remembered.

What a lovely thing for you to do for an old moggie...

RIP Blacky-at least you felt the love of kind humans at the end.

Sad story, but nice to hear there are still some people out there who do look out for and love animals.

Good for you and your neighbours, for your charity, love and the knowledge the cat didn't just die in a hedge somewhere, in agony.
