You might remember that before the site went down, I posted to say that my cat Toby had been killed. Well,I am gutted to have to add that my other cat, Ruby, has also died. Once she discovered that Toby had gone for good, she went rapidly downhill. She hid in my bedroom and refused to eat. You could actually see the grief in her eyes. Kidney failure set in, and she was put to sleep on Wednesday night. Poor thing just couldn't live without her kitty companion.
We are devastated, though a part of me is glad that they are together again. They were 12 and 13 and inseperable. My son has taken it like a typical child - he cries one minute and asks for a hamster the next. They are buried side by side in my garden.
I just can't get over the fact that at New Year I had two healthy cats and now I have none. I really thought they'd make it to old age. I'll miss them so much.
