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.
If he hasn't been embalmed yet, it might yet be possible to clone him.
Redneck vs. cop: Redneck. Cop vs. n-word: Cop. n-word vs. white guilter: n-word. Being a lawyer knocks you down a peg, so redneck lawyer vs. cop and n-word lawyer vs. white guilter are toss-ups. White guilter lawyers are the lowest form of life. Open season on them.
My condolences on your loss. But you can be happy that you gave him a great life, and a very long one at that! Twenty years for a house cat is really good, that's at the high end of possible life expectancy. You obviously did a fantastic job of taking care of him.
Gold and silver are REAL money, paper is but a promise.
I'm sorry for your loss of your cat, Oliver. He had a pretty, fluffy coat!!

"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."
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

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...

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.
If it had been in my personal power, I would have murdered that cat when it was conceived.
You're lucky I don't run this forum ... I'd kick your ass --- out !

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!

"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
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.
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?

What a POS are you to say such a thing to Christine.
Perhaps the same should have been done at your breeding.
It was !

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.

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.
You blessed our lives for 20 years, were always a joy, and the "best boy that ever lived."
Rest in peace, Oliver...I know he had the best life ever. Cats are cool companions, and am sure he was your best friend, as you were his. I really feel for you; thanks for posting Ollie's pics.
In defense of Bucky, aka "US_GRANT," he must be in great pain himself to have made his (ahem) comment...
Don't give me any further grief about someone's dtinly, dead cat. I despise cats. As I said in my first post on this thread, I would have murdered the goddamned animal at conception. It would have been suffocated in a burlap bag and never seen the light of the Sun, along with the rest of it's catery.
Those damned animals stink! I find it amazing that some people allow them in their homes ... like a rat.
Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.
BTW, I have a few burlap bags available for murdering cats. Here is how we do it: step 1) place the goddamned creatures into the bag. step 2) place the bag into a barrow of water. step 3) after five or so minutes, pull the bag out and throw it in the trash.
No mess ... no fuss... what-so-ever!
