Oliver April 2, 1989 - September 29, 2009 You blessed our lives for 20 years, were always a joy, and the "best boy that ever lived." We loved you with all our hearts. We will miss you more than words can express. "Mommy" and "Daddy"

I'm sorry for your loss of your cat, Oliver. He had a pretty, fluffy coat!!
_________________________________________________________________________ I know how you feel. It sucks.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, christine. Animals are greater friends than human oft times. Every time I take an attachment to a pet, I know I'm letting myself in for the inevitable. Another little buddy will come wandering by once a decent interval has passed, I'm sure.
Oliver will live on in your hearts and minds forever. RIP best friend, you are gone, but never forgotten, most spoiled rotten cat in the world. The monitor goes blurry again...
You were given a gift that few are so fortunate to receive.
"Today cats live longer than ever. Just 20 years ago the life expectancy of a cat was four to six years; today they live 15 years or more. Life expectancy in cats depends on many things, but the most important factor is whether he is an indoor-only cat or an outdoor cat. Life expectancy varies significantly between the two.....Indoor cats generally live from 12-18 years of age. Many may live to be in their early 20s. The oldest reported cat was 28 years old at the time of death.....Outdoor cats generally live to be around four to five years of age. Their deaths are typically due to traumas such as being hit by a car or dog attacks. Outdoor cats are also more susceptible to several deadly viruses that are spread by fighting or prolonged intimate contact with an infected cat." http://www.petplace.com/cats/life-expectancy-in-cats/page1.aspx One of our cats was run over by a car. The lady next door lost hers to a coyote. We have a cat fence now --- the only way to go....Link
Oh, the pain, the loss ! Christine, I'm sure sorry. I went from being foolishly disdainful of cats to having one walk into my life and directly into my heart. Such magnificent loves they are.....Miss Bitty passed away 2 years ago and, finally, I'm ready to turn myself over to another. Thankfully, the pain lessens and the memories sustain. Sympathy and hugs for you and your family. Bub

I'm saddened to hear of your loss, Christine. I know from experience the pain and wish you and yours the best.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
So sorry to hear about this. Hopefully you will find another one soon.
If it had been in my personal power, I would have murdered that cat when it was conceived.

That's just wrong...and I've never owned a cat. I pity you.

Good grief, who whizzed in your Wheaties this morning? Christine has just suffered a very painful loss of a good pet and companion for the last twenty years. What the heck is wrong with you? Normally I'd suggest contacting the charm school you attended and demand a refund, but in your case I think it would be more appropriate to sue them for malpractice...

one more to cheer us up, and remind us of why God gave us our pets - though they leave us way, way too soon.

Really sorry to hear about Oliver. He was truly loved for a very, very long time.
The U.S. Govt is a tyrannical butcher; U.S. taxpayers are accomplices to international murder and mayhem. If you satisfy your fears by bowing to this butcher, you forfeit your humanity and possibly your soul.

You're lucky I don't run this forum ... I'd kick your ass --- out !

WTF is wrong with you? What a POS are you to say such a thing to Christine. Perhaps the same should have been done at your breeding.
#20. To: christine (#0)
Wow - 20 years...That's a LOT of shared companionship. Even for humans...Sorry 'bout that Christine.
#21. To: christine (#0)
So very sorry to hear of your loss! I understand just how devastating it can be. I know many can't understand the loss one feels for a pet, but once attached it is a part of you!!! Again so sorry to hear. And some people just have no conscious what so ever! Sheesh!

#22. To: buckeroo, Christine (#12)
In defense of Bucky, aka "US_GRANT," he must be in great pain himself to have made his (ahem) comment... Then again some people resent grief over pets or animals that they believe should be reserved only for humans - maybe that was the case as well. FWIW, I don't believe you meant what you said, Buck.
#23. To: Liberator (#22)
He wrote it. Why wouldn't you believe it? He's a sick pos.

I'm sorry for your loss.
"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

I'm certain that Oliver was one sizzlin' happy Cat livin' with you C.... Life is not ezy for most cats. Oliver was one of the lucky ones. Thx 4 sharin', cat lovers are the best..>>!!

#26. To: christine (#0)
Sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's the love that you shared that matters most and it's obvious there was a great deal of that.....that blessing will help ease the pain and prepare you to love again in time.
#27. To: christine (#0)
Oliver was family, only nicer. He gave you both unconditional love and unless someone experiences that, it can't be explained adequately. Having lost the best Golden Retriever god ever put on this planet, I can empathize with you and Bill. Today will be the worst day you experience, as time is the only remedy for the pain you feel. Nobody knows the time or place when the end comes, but Oliver left today at home with his family present. That will comfort you as the weeks turn to months. Peace Oliver, and say hello for Cody for me.

Jeeze Buck, aren't you supposed to be uprooting some olive trees or something?

Why wouldn't you believe it? He's a sick pos. Yes, but it was senseless and probably projection. He's got issues.
He wrote it.

Fully renewed for God knows how long. Magazines have issues - people have mental illnesses and other problems.
He's got issues.

My sincere condolences. My girl is four-legged and 14, but she's a dog, and pretty healthy right now. It will kill me when she goes.

I don't know "what is wrong" about my post other than cats piss and shit all over property. They stink and are not clean. And, like yourself, I have never owned any and wouldn't consider ownership except to send them to China where cats are used as a daily human diet.
That's just wrong...and I've never owned a cat.

I wouldn't appear on a forum owned by you. So your comment is worthless.

Cats don't stink. Cats are one of the cleanest pets on the planet. Cats are obsessed with keepin' themselves clean. Yes a Cat's shit and piss does stink, but I guess that yourz doesn't.?
They stink and are not clean.
#36. To: buckeroo (#33)
It was completely inappropriate. If that is the only comment you could possibly cough up, you would be more humane to simply opt not to post at all on the topic. You are not ignorant, buckaroo. Honestly, if you are that devoid of compassion, I truly pity you.
I don't know "what is wrong" about my post
